Does anyone know what DV's shipping rate is for small orders?

LitecigUSA is $2.25 up to $75 and then free after that.

It might depend on if he has to put it in a bigger box but my last order was 2.30 and I think that is all I ever pay.

You also get a 5% automatic discount on all purchases after five orders.

I rebuilt the coil of my Kanger T3 today, and put a cotton wick in. It's a little more finicky than the vivi nova, but perfectly doable, and I'm sure it gets easier with experience—the head is actually exactly the same size as that of the vivi. Here are some pictures:

The parts, once taken apart:

Inserting your coil wires. Same thing as with the vivi nova, except that everything is receded within the ego thread. It's tricky, but it can be done. The hardest part was to insert the silicone sleeve. I ended up lubing it with some PG, and pushing it in using the T3's center post, while keeping the two ends of the coil in place. Remember to leave a good two inches length at boil coil ends, so you can keep them out of the way while working inside the ego thread.

The coil inside the head. Not a good looking coil, but it works (at 1.8 ohms).

Trim the ends, replace silicone cap:

Voila! :2cool: I did this coil with cotton, which works quite well. I imagine that any other wick that has been used in the vivi could also be used there. I plan to try mesh soon, see how it goes.

Thanks for the tutorial and awesome pics. Just built a cotton wick on my lunch break according to your instructions. Working like a charm.

I just ordered two T3s and two replacement heads and the shipping was $2.30. The whole order with shipping totaled $19.26. I've got nothing bad to say about Discount Vapers. I had trouble with some CE5s I bought from them and Eric was very responsive. I think this might be my 5th order with them. T3s are $5.99 a piece. The heads are $2.49 each.

DV's shipping changes depending on how much stuff you have. I added and removed some stuff, fluctuated a few cents. Overall I find their shipping pretty cheap. $25 of stuff = $2.30 for me. I really want the iVape T3's in different colors, but DV has cheaper shipping and has 900mah Twists for really cheap. AND the adapter I need to use these with my Versa. But I might be willing to buy them from iVape separately just for the colors.
 
Nope, I even tried it twice with the same outcome.
It's a issue with the top seal for sure, just don't feel like disassembling yet. Maybe this weekend if I get time.


Did you pour the liquid into the middle tube by any chance?

First issue with a new T3.
The wife opened a new T3 and tried filling it. It leaks out of the tip pretty good.
I will open it up and see what the issue is when I get a chance.

I had one do that too. I thought maybe I got it in the airtube but that didn't seem to be the case. I blew it out and refilled it and it didn't leak the second time so I'm not sure what was wrong.

That's interesting. At ivape the actual T3 is @ a half a buck cheaper than Discount Vapers but the replacement heads are @ half a buck more.

LOL, well I am not a fan of any particular vendor. I bought mine from Stormys. I thought it was cool that they offer colors for less and was just trying to share information.

I agree! This vendor has the T3s for 4.95

Kanger T3 Bottom Coil 2.5ml Clearomizer - 2.5 Ohm

replacement coils 1.95.

This is a vendor from Sydney, Australia. I will keep it up for those who live across the pond.

Ivape is less expensive, offers low shipping, and offers colors too here eGo | Cartomizers | Page 2-20 | iVAPE


[h=2]eGo T3 Sol Fuego - Bottom Coil Changeable Cartomizer - black [/h]But, they are the Kanger T3s :D
This is a nice price for folks who need colors. I personally like the purple. :)

On a different note I cleaned my coil today after 2 weeks of heavy vaping. It works but I am thinking the coil is weakening. This is my first coil so I am going to put this one thru some testing/vaping. I cleaned with hot water.
