any kanger t2 sifu here can advise? thanks..

what is the ideal silica wick size and kanthal wire size/gauge/how many wraps for recoil ah?

could it be too tight that the battery touched the both pin? because we tend to tighten the mech as it rattles if loose.

I was in similar shoes with you but I straight away went to get an eVic + CE5. I would say eVic is the best purchase I did so far. Variable voltage, battery life is also great, good looking & the best thing I like about it is the ohms reading. Even if I upgrade to a mechanical mod, I can still use my eVic to get the ohms reading when I recoil a tank otherwise I will need to get a ohms reading equipment to measure it.

eVic now cost around RM120 only but then I hate CE5, so I got a kanger protank instead. Awesome tank, looks good on an eVic + flavour is really nice. Of course mech mod is better, so up to you la My friend just bought a sentinel v3, pretty awesome too 
I am using protank too, I recoil using 3mm wick + 30awg @ 5 loop. I get around 2.2ohms. I tried 3mm + 1.5mm (flavouring wick like original) but too thick I feel. The draw when inhaling is too hard, need to "suck" harder. Now I am using just 3mm, draw is very smooth hehe. But I think 3.5mm would be the perfect size for protank.

another way is to invert the battery. mech mod can invert +ve and -nv...try if this help but yeah generally its because its too tight

Yup, but very hard to get it right. High chance of flooding & gurgling. Even if manage to get it right, after using a week or so it might gurgle again so couple of blows to clean it will solve that prob. Thats why I say if use 3.5 or maybe 4 then it will be perfect. sometimes just use 3mm & around 3 strands of the 1.5mm wick as a flavoring wick.

I tried double 3mm wick before, its just too thick for protank. I am still testing la, need to get 3.5 & 4mm wicks soon. Also protank 2 I heard the drag is improved 

well, most vapers i knew would avoid any brass poles. no matter how powerful they can be. brass contact to the pole is exceptional since its not in contact with liquid.

correct me if im wrong, eventho for a good quality silica wick, they are still bound to have silica aka "gentian kaca". but of course the matter will only be a matter in the long near future.

cobra clone : genesis
era clone : dripper

depends on what you need...if properly oxidize no problem unless you dryburn la...sure bau kaw2...

do other ppl get cancer if they hisap ur 2nd smoke?

Hm... Can teach me how to oxidize? Lol
Ada tutorial ka?

My friend just bought it on sunday. I saw it, build quality seems pretty good. Engraving all is quite good
Anyways look what just came in the mail today     

same dripper as i use on my sentinel...best ever dripper...
bosan already with royal...asal vapemeet in meru,always got royal flavor... 

aku byk abis kat liquid je...sebulan max pun dalam 150...
bullet dripper bro...i ada post a few pages back rasanya...price around rm50...nak cari lagi satu buat spare...

rda pun bole awan dania bro...budak2 meru byk pakai rda je...beli je trident...tu 3 pole...

check out atom clone too, build quality quite good for that too. Maybe those with more experience can recommend some to you haha, my knowledge in mech mod is just beginner level only 

taikor.. i used same like yours la. I wonder what is that loose threading and auto firing issue? Can elaborate more aah

i think miss fire is because of the -ve pins to big or because bottom cap of the mod dont have any insulator .. most of chi you are facing this problem .. no insulator at the bottom .. chi you clone i mean

My friend dont have 18350 battery, used 18490 & 18650 both also ok je. No problem. 1 thing about atom is the o-ring is loose (at the battery part) so when you remove the battery need to make sure the o-ring is in place & didnt come out or moved.

Thats about it, other than that he says its awesome. The edge is a little sharp too so just sand it off a bit should be ok.
