Anyone else having this problem with the T3?

[MrLyle]

I'm using a T3 on a Lavatube at 4.2v and I'm getting a burnt flavor. It's pretty freakin' nasty and I'm not sure why. Well, that's not entirely true, I know why, I just don't know how to fix it.
It seems that the it's the rubber cup that's causing it. Whenever the rubber cup is on, I get this nasty burnt taste, I even tried flipping it like many recommend, but it's not helping. When I remove the cup completely, everything works great, tastes fantastic. Problem is though, after vaping it a while without the cup, the coil gets flooded and it starts to gurgle like crazy. To the point of sometimes getting juice in my mouth, which is a whole other bit of nasty.
Anyone run into this issue? Know how to fix it? Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't think the rubber cap is the issue. I was having issues not particularly with burnt taste, but just ... bland taste, and occasional hints of vague drattiness. I've found that if you take the bottom out, remove the rubber cap, wiggle the center post out, then replace the center post, but don't push it quite all the way down -- leave about a 1/2mm gap -- then replace the cap and reassemble, it does work a bit better. Flavour still isn't tremendous but it's a bit better, at least.

i gave up on the T3. don't like to fiddle. do you have the l-rider or young june version lavatube.. my young june lavatube has pwm. the voltage is off. runs hotter then the voltage you set it at.

what the PG\Vg rartio of your juice ??? a high VG juice will not wick properly ,,depending you may need to dilute it 10% with water

It's 50/50.

I have a first gen lavatube. The very first one they released. It had colored buttons...once upon a time. The paint has long since peeled off. I don't have a voltage meter so I can't test it out, but I never had a problem with cartos of the same resistance.

you might want to try removing one of the flavor wicks ?? remove that rubber cup and sitting on top of the coil is 2[?] flavor wicks that help feed the coiled wick,,simply pull one of those off and try it,it use 80$ PG and have no problems what so ever with them stock

I read on another thread that the low resistance heads have a known problem giving off a burnt flavour, some do and some don't... I don't know if you have a low resistance head and I never used the T3 but that is what was mentioned by more than one member.

I got two T3s a few weeks back, not working for me either. I really wanted them to work great.
They feel to me like my fuzzy memory of the original stardust in draw, vape, taste, and dratty dry hits. With the added bonus of a pool of juice out the bottom the next morning. And the other bonus of needing an adaptor for a lot of the latest mods.

I will begin by saying that I have no knowledge of the T3. I'm vaping a 1.9 oum coil (ZAP) at 3.8 v (Provari) have you thought of trying a lesser V. This might be a "self-limiting" device; too much juice and you burn rubber....

I LOVE the T3, but it has to be used at a lower voltage. Try around 3.4

There I told you so

I got a few T3s for testing...I tested resistence and started at @4.2 volts. Juice is 80pg/20vg...Seemed too work OK other than a little burnt after pushing it for a bit...Found that it works best in the 3.7/3.8 range...Got three weeks on and off with the same T3...Not a world beater but not entirely bad either..
