Leaky Kanger Protank among other problems.

[Grant951]

This is getting really annoying. I filled up my protank last night and dried every single part of it including the center shaft. It worked for a few minutes. Today at lunch I put it on and I got little to no vapor production or throat hit. I kept it on and got a decent amount of vapor and throat hit after that throughout the afternoon. I got in the car to go home and I was experiencing the same thing as at lunch. I unscrewed it and it was leaking a decent amount onto the contact. Dried it, sucked air through it pretty hard and it started doing it again even worse. What is the deal with these things? I just replaced the coil on Friday and have had maybe a tank and a half out of it. It seemed fine on Friday if I remember correctly. I'm using a 60/40 pg/VG mix if that matters. I'm really frustrated.

Are you using the coils that came with it or Kanger replacements? Just thinking about your issue, and the only time that has ever happened to me with a KPT or a Davide was with the coils that came with them.

Replacement ones, the ones that came with it are long gone.

Make sure the little plastic washer is on above the threads. I put a new coil on my EVOD last night and luckily noticed the washer had fallen off in the packaging. No washer = leaking.

My wife's Kanger Pro 2 had that issue, she replaced her coil and the rubber washer or o ring thing fell out and she didn't notice till it leaked everywhere.

Are your replacement coils genuine Kanger or generic? From my experience generic replacement coils for delivery devices are most often crap.

There are always bad apples in the bunch. These devices can be finicky. QC is a little to be desired.

Here is the short version of how to fix kanger leaks and gurgling. There are design problems with the seals, but fortunately there is a real easy fix you can do if you have an extra atomizer handy.

Do a google search for "How To: Fix Kanger EVOD leaking/gurgling issues". http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCwQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgodofsteam.wordpress.com%2F2013%2F07%2F12%2Fhow-to-fix-kanger-evod-leakinggurgling-issues%2F&ei=A12SUt6WB8TKrgG6xoFY&usg=AFQjCNHOJtjWIPpv1tabQxkcH5rad8ivNg&sig2=J3qQSo5C_qt-LDjkAgnpqA&bvm=bv.56988011,d.aWM

This article is simple and it works perfectly. Scroll to the bottom of the article and see the last photo. Borrow the top white silicone cap seal off an old atomizer and put it on the atomizer upside down. Leave the original seal in place so there are two seals, one down, one up.

When you put it together, the upside-down seal will hang onto the tube inside the clearomizer.

I have additional information learned by experience: You don't have to tighten the unit onto the battery so tightly because now there is enough rubber to seal the two parts so they don't leak. When you take the unit apart to fill it, the upside-down seal might pop off the tube inside the atomizer. Fish it out and put it back on the atomizer upside down. Be sure to check this otherwise you might damage it forcing the thing back together with a cockeyed seal stuck in the upper housing.

This takes care of leaking, gurgling and air pressure differential issues 100%. It aslo solves the problem of high resistance vaping -- which leads to sucking juice through the wick. The four holes in the atomizer base often get blocked by the battery screw because you have to crank it down to get a seal.
