New kanger bases not evod head friendly?

[Butters78]

I just got my protank 2, whoot! Anyways as soon as I got it I threw in an evod head I rebuilt with a microcoil. There was hardly any air flow. I was going nuts trying to figure out what was wrong. I ordered an extra base as well that I got to fix an old protank and that base had the same result. After about a half hour of pulling my hair out I stuck the base I got with my original protank from a few months back on the protank 2 and it works perfect with the evod head.

I came to the conclusion that kanger changed the protank base somehow. It's a bit irritating to me. I think I'll have to get used to the protank heads airflow. Or use the evod shaft on the protank head. Oye. At least I figured out the issue.

Anyone else notice this?

Check this out. On the left is the evod head in the old style base. On the right the evod is installed in the new style base. Sorry about the pic quality but you can see the head on the left has more room around it vs the right.

I dont have a Protank 2 yet, but thanks for posting this, as it is nice to know for future reference.

Do the protank heads have the same spacing issue on the bottom as the evod heads do?

I'm sick of Kanger nonsense. Nothing works, clearos and heads are cheap but they keep on changing things. It's driving me mad, I'm not buying any more Kanger nothing until this is clearing out and the heads and clearos become one. Maybe never.

Sorry for the rant...

They are fine because the positive pin on the protank head is a good size smaller than the positive of the evod head. I never noticed this before because I've been using the evod head in the protank for months.

It's ok. Just have to adapt. I'll have to use the evod shafts on the protank base for it to work. A bit annoying but that's the world of vaping sometimes.

Right on, yea I had no idea either.

There was mention of attempting to address the snapping off thread area of the old protanks, does the threaded hollow shaft seem to be thicker?

 

[Butters78]

So, bottom line, if you want the tighter draw of the evod in the protank you have to take the shaft off the evod head and put it on the the protank head. Annoying yeah but what can you do?

Well they stopped making the evod heads anyway, from here on out they're the same. Any new evod/protank/protank mini/protank2 are the same unit. So make sure you've got rebuilding them down I guess, if the evod is your preference. I've only had protanks and like the draw so I have no point of reference, is it a noticeable difference?

Can't tell by eye balling it but you can tell by my pic there is a difference.

Could have played a roll in them deciding to go to one universal head. I have an evod shipping in from somedayillseeittech, i'll have to do a close comparison.

It's a bit tighter yes. I'm just going to get used to the OG protank heads, and still use the evod heads in my evods. I have about 30 which should last.

What is the outcome of a protank head in your evod?

 

[Butters78]

This weekend I'll order a few boxes of protank heads to screw around with. On the bright side I'll get more airflow for my microcoils which will add more vapor and flavor I'd imagine.

LOL haven't tried yet till be honest. It's sacrilegious to me atm ha.

FYI - I recently ordered some Vision Victory heads just for the heck of it. It turns out they are short like the old Evods. You think Vision is going to continue with these? JD

If it's an EVOD from FastTech, that's not a Kanger...

And silly me - I was happy with EVOD heads/tubes in an EVOD, and ProTank heads/tubes in a ProTank.
Now I don't know what the heck I'm supposed to do (I know - rebuild...LOL...just didn't really want to go there yet).

Seems to me like I remember reading somewhere that there is one less air hole in the Protank 2 base? ...dunno for sure, mine haven't arrived yet. If true, it's entirely possible that less air holes plus the larger diameter of the EVOD post (which is why they are used on the Protank to begin with) simply cuts off too much air flow?
