do you take off the rubber thing inside a kanger protank?

[goober]

There's a clear rubber thing where the wicks are inside the protank. Do I need to remove this or leave it in there?

Don't do it..have done it many times thinking it would wick/taste better....after 20-30 minutes every single time it just floods like CRAZY

It is supposed to be there.

Occasionally it will be flipped upside down or removed to troubleshoot/improve wicking/flow issues, but generally best to start with it in place.

Only when needed, I will cut the skirt off for wicking purposes. This way it still seals the air shaft, ensuring less chance of gurgling.

this is my first time using something like this so maybe im doing something wrong..but, I keep getting this burnt taste. It's horrible. Anyone know why this is happening?

I followed her directions in this video Kanger Pro Tank - YouTube

If you are using a thick juice, (high pg) you should remove one of the flavor wicks. If it still doesn't wick right, pull the other one out. I have been using kanger clearo's a lot and haven't had this issue, but I pulled one out right away. I rebuild them with micro coils and cotton now, major difference. Good luck...

Rebuilt heads are the best. Barring that, others have reported a better experience using the ARO replacement heads in the Pro tanks.

If you want to see my method for rebuilding EVOD/PT heads, have a look here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/clearomizers/469445-wick-preferences-3.html#post10726739

If you have a heavy VG juice, you'll almost always have to remove at least one, if not both of the wicks for it to wick properly. VG is just so thick it either takes time to wick or won't fully wick, which leads to burning. So many say not to remove the wicks, though in every single head I've used, both come out. This applies to 50/50 and */50 mixes (where * = 60-90% PG). I've also moved to cotton, as SpyderClouds has. Cotton wicks better and faster that silica in my experience and I now pull out the silica and twist in cotton as a replacement.

I don't mess with it

I've used protanks for awhile now and have never had the need to remove either flavor wicks or the plastic cup. All my juice is 80% pg, 20% vg. Stock Kanger made heads are all I use, except for ones I've rewound. But replacements are so cheap lately I've just been using new out of the box heads.

When I started vaping I used 100% vg juice. That was fine in the little cartridges for a 510 that came in my original kit. When I moved to cartomizers I started having wicking issues. Once I moved to my current juice blend I never had wicking issues again provided the delivery device worked properly. For me the protank heads have always worked properly except for the very, very few defective ones I've received. FWIW

If you are referring to the piece on the pipe over the flavor wicks - This is a SEAL cup.
Properly installed, it does NOT press on the wicks and DOES seal the coil assembly to the upper Pipe to keep the tank AIR TIGHT

Many Flip or remove this CLAIMING doing so stops wick pinching - NOT!

Flipping or removing exposes the Tank to equalization. With thicker e-liquids this may be a minor issue, with thin liquids it can lead to massive flooding.

ProTank and all Bottom Coil Clearomizers are designed to work under negative pressure.

Balance it maintained by air being drawn UP into the tank through the 510 connection as E-liquid volume is reduced maintaining a slight Negative pressure.
