Protank Draw solution found I think.

Just another option of an airflow controller..

I bought one of these from Liberty Flights when I had Protanks and it made a massive difference!

On my ego batteries I found the draw to be just about right, but on my Evic it was WAY too loose... airflow controller sorted this out perfectly!! Well worth £2.79!

Yes, agreed, I went there too, then realised there must be voltage drop across such a device. In the end I've concluded that protanks are something a lot of us do and then, mercifully, grow out of! LOL

Hi all,

Been reading up on loads of fixes for this, yet I still see people saying they have a problem.

Well I think I may well have solved it, for those who have a V1 Protank and a V2 Vamo at least, and quite probably for a fair few others I'd guess.

I went nuts and broke out an 'o' ring from a box of them I bought on Amazon.

With the tank already fitted to the Vamo, the o ring is simply slid down the tank until it hits the step where the two diameters differ. I use my finger nail just to snug it right down to bear onto the top surface of the Vamo.

As far as I can work out the air is likely now only drawn though the gaps in the knurling pattern on the tank base, and I have found that limits it to being about as tight as my evod, and very probably a little more tight again. Flavour feels enhanced and, gurgling gone, and just one pop per draw, no great amount of crackling now either. however my hearing is no longer all it could be and yours might well be better! LOL  

Here's a pic (hopefully - first go at this)


?

The box of 419 rings by Brookstone presently costs £9.99 on Amazon, so let's just call this my two pence worth in trying to solve the draw for those who'd prefer something a little tighter! 

Hope it helps somebody, enjoy!

What about fitting some felt cut to fit around the 510 connector & squeezed between the Protank & device when tightened down

[Ancient Hermit]

Well yes, however now, after some more thought, and some more learning, I have realised that nothing solves it quite as well as moving on to a device which simply does better in the first place! Sad but true fact of life!

It was an interesting step along the pathway! Felt quite good for a bit too!

and here these seem popular and sell out v quick www.krakenecigs.com/clearomisers-tanks/510-airflow-controller

Thanks tazmania,

They do sell like bloody hotcakes! I've had a few big orders for them from overseas, but I'll continue to stock them as long as people want them  £2.43 with discount code too!

One thing to remember though is, it adds another bit of metal between the battery and atty, so will marginally drop your power!

Yes krakenecigs it may well drop power anything with a plate between two contact points will do but I and pals haven't noticed but we coil our own to 1.4 to 1.8 and it works for us
