What surprised me about the T3 is I can crank up the voltage to over 5 volts without scorching the juice. I don't normally go much above 4 but was just checking for a friend that likes higher voltage.
My T3 came in today and first impressions is that it's fantastic...
When I filled it up I put liquid in to the top of the inside tube. This ended up being more than the 2.4ml mark once I put it back together and flipped it over. However there's still an air pocket at the top so I don't think that will cause any problem. It would be nice if they would put another set of markings on the other side showing how much you are putting in when you are filling it, but once I get the level down to the 2.4ml mark I can flip it over and see at what mark the liquid is so I know when to stop filling it.
Of course I could have put 2.4ml in my 3.0ml syringe, but I didn't think of that until it was too late, and anyway that would only work if the tank was empty.
Let it stand for 10 minutes or so and took my first draw. Nice and easy and full of vapor.
I didn't clean it so I'm getting not a burnt taste but a "new" taste which I'm sure will go away shortly.
Going to heed fatcharlie's post #57 (thanks fatcharlie for the warning
) and be very careful when cleaning and not take it apart any further than just unscrewing it from the base and running water through it.
Now to see how long it will last, but for $6.95 for the whole thing and $2.95 for a replacement head, this thing is cheap...
Yep... Think I'm gonna to stay with this one for a while.

Just ordered a couple of these from Litecig. Can't wait! I LOVE the T2s and with a bottom coil these can only be better.
Okay here goes mine.
Doing this on a Twist w/ Green Apple 80/20 PG/VG 18mg juice from Mt Baker Vapor.
T3 is exactly the same size as a T2 if you discount the bottom piece. Since this is bottom coil, the bottom screw piece adds about a CM more in length.
First thing I noticed was that it's definitely not easy to fill the tank on this compared to T2. There are some metal inlets inside now that covers a good portion of the fill area. Luckily I had a bottle cap with a flat needle for such occasions and it was easy to fill with that. You'd likely want something like a needle/syringe if you want to fill these.
Started off on 3.2 volts (as I always do then move up). Good, clean, cool vape. Vapor production is equal or just about the same as a T2. Flavor, however, seems slightly more intense. I purposely used a juice I can get a good judge on for this purpose. I did, however, notice a slight plastic taste in the beginning. As spider already mentioned, this is likely because it's a brand new assembly. It did go away after a few more draws.
I did not notice a tighter draw compared to T2. It seemed about the same for me. I did notice that T3 was a tad louder than T2.
It may be my juice but even on T2 heads (1.8ohms or even 2.4 ohms) no matter what juice I use, I start to get burnt taste on or after 4.0 volts. This was the case with the T3 as well. I'm getting consistent and no burnt taste around 3.8 volts. I'm fine with that.
So after about 0.5 ml, I think I got a decent first impression out of it. It vapes good so far, every hit was clean cool vape. Havent noticed the inconsistencies I have with the T2 yet but that's still to be determined. Will post more if I find anything else.

I got rid of the dry hits I was getting by rinsing the wick with warm water and it is back vaping like it was in the beginning. I don't have any problem at all filling mine from the juice bottle. It isn't quite as easy as the T2 being as the head doesn't protude above the tank but it is very similar as other clearos. I've refilled mine about eight times now and I just hold it at an angle and drip the juice in and it is ready to go in less than a minute. You just want to be careful and not fill it to full.
I filled up #2 with Tiramisu from Highbrow, which is a much stronger flavor than their Cheesecake Torte. So far everything is just perfect. Great flavor and vapor, easy draw. I boiled some water, took it off the heat, then placed my 6 remaining coil assemblies in the water until it cooled down, let them air dry. That seems to have greatly reduced that harshness I was experiencing with my tester unit out of the box.
Once you go T3 you never go back!!
Should I begin hoarding coil assemblies now?

Assuming you mean save the bad ones, maybe to play around with, or if they only last a day or two. But at $2.95 do you think it's really worth it?
Heck, these heads are $2.00 less than the ones for the Vision eGo V3 clearomizers. Such a value...

I meant that in the sense that if these are my goto device, who knows how long they will manufacture them, and I'd like to have a surplus of they do stop. It was really a joke though.
Yeah, it is strange that the drip tip is permanent since it seems it would be so easy to make it removable. Probably to help keep the cost down.
However since the opening where the drip tip goes in is so big a regular size drip tip wouldn't fit anyway. Kanger could make their own replacement metal one or supply a sleeve to reduce the opening to standard size.
If it's the possibility of melting the tip, then I don't think you have to worry about that. There seems to be a metal sleeve inside the tip which the air tube goes through and the tube is slightly extended into the tip. Also with it being a bottom feed the vapor is probably a bit cooler than from a top feed.
If it's the feel of the tip then sorry, there's nothing I can do or say to help you there.
Personally I like the plastic tip. Don't know if I could stand a metal tip clanking against my teeth all day...

I have been using one for about 4 days now and I am sold. The vision type clearos are in my rear view mirror now! I am running 50/50 juice and haven't had 1 dry hit even during a chain vape session. This is my new go to device.
I went interweb browsing for these at my normal vape places, and found at freedomsmokeusa, they have a Vision V3 which looks to be built with the same setup. Am I wrong on this?

Yeah it's more or less the look and feel of a metal drip tip. Seems more solid and sturdy to me since the drip tip is the only thing on the device not metal besides the actual tank.
I'm sure at some point there will be an update somewhat soon since that's how these things always go.
No these are completely different than the Vision clearo. The T3 has a bottom coil design and holds more juice than the Vision ce4 or V3 they are calling it.
There are only the two suppliers mentioned earlier that have them that I know of. Many more have them on the way.

The Vision V3 is a top feed. This requires a long wick to reach the bottom of the tank or for you to constantly tip the device over or lay it on its side to get liquid to the coil if the wick is short.
To fill you remove the drip tip and fill from the top. Filling can be a little tricky since the top of the V3 is rather narrow and you must be sure not to let any liquid enter the center airway or it will flood the coil and possibly leak out the bottom onto the battery. Filling with a syringe is the easiest way.
Also to clean the head the tank must be empty, or nearly so, since the center assembly, where the head is located, must be removed from the bottom and the drip tip at the top is open to the tank.
The Kanger T3 is a bottom feed so the only position you need to be concerned with for proper feeding liquid to the coil is the upright position. This is the normal position for vaping and when setting it upright on the table or desk. This bottom feed system works well too when you lay it on its side.
To fill you flip the T3 over with the drip tip pointing down, remove the bottom part via the knurled ring and fill from the bottom which is quite a bit easier with the wider opening. Filling using the dribble tip on the bottle is quite easy. Just tilt the device slightly and dribble the liquid down the side of the tank.
Again you must be sure not to get any liquid in the center air shaft, but since this is only a straight shot to the drip tip and does not come in contact with the coil no harm is done other than you should clean out the air shaft before reassembling it.
You still remove the head from the bottom, but there's a tube that stays inside the tank that's attached to the drip tip that prevents any loss of liquid when you flip it over thus allowing for cleaning the head without having to use up or empty the tank first.
The only complaint I've read so far on the Kanger T3 is that the drip tip is permanently fixed to the tank and cannot be replaced with a different type such as a metal one.
I've been a carto user for about 4 years now, but have tried a few clearos along the way. My favorite was the ego-W (nobody knows about these), but have tried a couple others like the stardust and vivi nova. The nova was pretty good, though it didn't work well with my VV gripper so I gave up on it and went back to my carto tank. Plus, they ALL had the tip to drip feature that is so common with clearos, that you just don't get with a carto. If this is true about the T3, then it may be the device I've been looking for. The taste of a clearo, with the feeding of a carto. Sounds pretty awesome. Thanks for your help, I'll stay away from the knockoffs 
I may have to hold off on this though My gripper only has a 510 (no ego) connection. I'm thinking I'm going to get away from it though and go back to the ego twist. I found the T3 at lite-cig, but their twist batteries are a little high priced. I'll need to look around to see if I can find a vendor that carries both pretty cheap.

I would guess that no other vendors will get these until at least next week after the Chinese holiday. I’m still waiting for mine from SVC.
