Evod/Protank heads

[Cammy]

Are the protank heads compatible with Evods? They are a little longer but otherwise exactly the same. I know they are promoted as being compatible for both but recently I've found that some aren't playing ball. They either don't fire or just don't produce any vapour with a really really tight draw.

Anyone had any bother using these protank heads in Evods?

The protank 2 ones are the same, maybe you've picked up some duffers?

[Cammy]

possibly - I thought they maybe were fakes but they came in kangertech branded packaging from China.

You still buying heads?? I'd have thought you would be recoiling your own by now.

What were originally supplied as Protank heads, the ones with longer stems are supplied as standard for both Evods & Protanks so these are the ones your always going to receive if your buying genuine heads.

Ha ha ha - yep I should be but I simply cant be bothered with all the faffing around. I have around 30 in a box washed and ready to be recoiled and oneday I'll sit down and do them all until then, I'll just keep on buying new ones...

I find some of the fake ones don't quite seal with the chimney on the evods, sticking another silicone cap on cures that or a small o-ring under the original cap.

Cheers Phil, I'll give that a try

When these so called universal heads came out, I too had a problem, and I posted about it.
It seems that whilst the evod or protank heads worked fine, these universal ones do not.
In fact just last week I had a whole box (5) that did not work. Genuine kangertech black box bought in the uk, not sure from where as I keep them all together.

Pop the chimney off a proper one and stick it on the fakes, they just come off with a wiggle and a pull

And a large pair of pliers

So does this mean all the ones I have thrown away would have worked by swapping the post of a working one ?
