Kangertech Mini Protank 3

@Matthee - Have you tested the Protank Mini 3 on the standard battery voltage (3.7V-3.8V)?
Interest to hear your feedback.
I am sure it will work perfectly and give a good vape, but you will be wasting the capabilities of the mPT3.
 
I used the tank on the kanger battery ( non vv etc ) and it perform really well.
Is gonna be my everyday device at work i think
 
@andro , I agree, this mini pt3 hits like a beast on a stock regulated evod type battery! Honestly, was back to back vaping the mini pt3 on the eViC at 11W vs the evod usb battery included with the HV kit and I dunno, maybe my eViC just sucks but there was basically no difference, if anything I might prefer the vape off of the evod battery...

Got stuck in traffic this morning, was just vaping like mad to pass the time on some delicious menthol ejuice on mini pt3 with evod usb batt with the windows up. After a few minutes I could just barely make out traffic through the passenger side mirror! It was awesome! (and probably a little bit dangerous I guess).
 
Ok guys need some help here. Just flashed mine up and am surprised by the "gurgling" noise it makes when I draw on it. Is this normal or have I filled it incorrectly?

Also find that with the VV I need it set on 4.8 to get a decent amount of vapour.

Is there any possibility that the coil is not working correctly or I have screwed up the assembly / filling?

Help!
 
Kanger/Protank/Gurgle <--- Historically these three words have always been linked.

I was under the impression that this issue had been resolved with PT3s.

@Allan Firstly check that there isn't any fluid where the drip tip fits into the top of the tank. Second, remove the battery and check if the inside of the 510 connector at the top of the battery doesnt have some juice in it.

If those two things don't kill the gurlge then unscrew the coil, and blow through the coil tube to flush out any liquid. Reseat the coil, and then try again. Also, while the coil is out, make sure the silicon washer on the coil tube is sitting down properlly on the coil tube.

I haven't had any gurgles on my dual coil Aerotank, but these suggestions usually sorted out the PT2 gurgles

Thanks,

I have tried that and also put a new coil in to make sure. It is much better but still quite noisy.

I have the battery on full power and honestly not getting the same vape that I was expecting (although a good throat hit). I will try a few liquids and see if there is an improvement.
 
Whenever these tanks gurgle its because liquid got into the part where it isn't supposed to be. Usually this is the coil tube, the drip tip, or where the air comes in at the base of the tank. Just make sure everything is dry.

Maybe the battery is running low? If you have tried a new coil then the battery is the only issue I can think of
 
@Allan maybe just make sure you're not over filling the tank, I find it quite hard to judge sometimes, and if you overfill it might be spilling some juice down the center tube causing gurgling? Gurgling is definitely not something I'm experiencing at all with my mPT3.

Maybe also check that everything is screwed together properly (since it can be fully disassembled)? I can't exactly see in my mind how this would be the problem but I guess it can't hurt to try. When you get it running it's an amazing vape, yes even on a regulated 3.7V evod type battery.
 
Some of my initial observations;

Pros:
  • Works well with the TopQ liquid. The Twist liquids dont give the same vape.
  • Good throat hit
  • Nice solid feel
  • No burning taste
  • No liquid in the mouth

Cons;

  • Very heavy with the VV battery
  • Quite noisy but will update if I get comments from SWMB

I will give a bit more feedback on the battery life and how the coil does on a high setting.
 
Anyone else experiencing gurgling with the mPT3's? Want to get a few for HRH.

Mine does make a noise sometimes but it's more of a crackle of the juice than a gurgle... but I would buy her some for sure! They are awesome little tanks!
 
Mine has also performed perfectly. @andro has mentioned one has to make sure the space below where you screw in and out the coil assembly must be clean and dry - that has stopped his problems. At 4.8 volt this thingie packs a very good throat hit - I had to dial down.
 
Getting the hang of it now. Its not as easy to fill as the twisp and made a bit of a mess filling it. Once all clean and dry again and the air holes are dried the gurgling has stopped and just the "crackle that Rob mentioned.

The other point that I am now getting used to is that there is a slight gap between pressing the button and the coils firing up fully so if you wait a second before pulling on it it gives and awesome vape.

I have dialed the battery down to 4.3 and that seems to be my best setting.

Enjoying this new toy a lot!

Great, glad you got it sorted.
 
3 days later and loving this baby!
It is giving me a good vape on setting 3,8 and no more gurgling
The crackle of my coil does irritate my golfing partners a bit!

Would be interested to hear how others find their battery life? I was able to go through nearly 2 tanks (6 - 7 hours) before the battery called it quits.

Yip that's about right...
 
@Allan I get 4 tanks plus a little bit of the way into the 5th with the evod 1000mah usb battery (not VV) included in the HV starter kit. I haven't checked the battery life with the eViC in too much detail but it should be longer since I use 1600-2000mah batts in there.
 
Really not impress with this product. Spending R350 on it with 5 extra coils was really a waste of money. The standard coil in it was excellent, but the "upgraded" coils I bought with it leaked like crazy. Changing seals and adjusting it the whole time is really kak for a product of this price range. I could've rather bought a i16. Anyways, that's my vent for the day hopefully. I would not advise anyone too buy this crap.

I use the dual coils the mPT3 came out with and have had no problems at all. In the Aerotank Mini I use the "upgraded" coils it came out with - also no problems. Maybe one should not use the "upgraded" coils in the mPT3?
 
Sorry to hear you're having issues with your mini pt3 @Limbo. Seems strange though, as many other forum members, including myself, really enjoy this tank and have non of the issues you speak of. Perhaps a bad batch of coils that you bought ? Are they authentic coils ?

Bought from VK, so I hope it is. Came in white packaging. Didn't order the upgraded coils, only found out later from @PeterHarris that it is.
