surfishinjim Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Is anyone else finding the coils in the Protank 3 to fit very tight? In fact, they fit so tight they become unscrewed from the base when I open the bottom of the tank and, got stuck inside the tank when I tried to refill. I've already destroyed one coil trying to remove it from the tank.
Earthling789 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I've had one do that in my AeroTank (third coil out of a pack of 5)... it didn't stick in the tank or destroy the coil, but 9 out of 10 times removing the base to refill required me to lift out the coil and re-seat it into the base. I figured it was just a fluke coil or a bur on the shaft of my tank... I'm still using that coil, and it's going strong.... no leaks, no problems, just most of the time I have to lift it out of the tank and put it back into the base.
Tam Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 If you want, you can use the single KPT coils in the KPT 3 base. That's what I do and it works great, it's a much cheaper alternative to the original KPT 3 coils.
FXRich Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Tam when you use a KPT2 coil in a KPT3 do you turn the silicone cap upside down? That's the only way I can get it to not leak. Actually what I do is add a upside down silicone cap. Edited July 25, 2015 by FXRich

Of course it leaks a tiny bit but not enough to bother with. When I refill, I just dab the connection part of the battery and I'm good to go. Are you using the short or long stem KPT single coils?
FXRich Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Long stem but they still leak, I use 40% pg so it might be too thin.
Tam Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Long stem but they still leak, I use 40% pg so it might be too thin.My juice is 40 PG/60 VG. More VG would make the juice thicker.
FXRich Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Sounds like the same as I use, but I don't like any gurgling or leaking and it doesn't take much to add a extra silicone cap so I guess I'll just keep doing it.
