are T3's still the best at the moment?

So I loved the T3's before, but then they got kinda finicky and inconsistent so I went back to dripping for a bit and wondered to myself why I ever stopped. Well, now I remember why I stopped. I got tired of carrying around my juices, dripping at the bar, constantly having to top off and whatnot. I slapped on my T3's the other night before going out and realized how much easier it was to use a clearo (not a tank or carto person.. don't vape enough to use a tank). The slightly muted flavor still bothers me but I think I can deal with it if I'm out and about and just need to "smoke" something. Anyways... are T3's still the ideal clearo or is there something better now? I'm looking to get a few new ones. Thanks!

I'm new so I don't have a lot of experience with all the stuff but I really like the T3. I'm also liking the Vision mini Vivi Novas.
My T3s were leaking and gurgling at times so I took a eGo to 510 connector and plugged up the center hole with silicone and use the adapter every time I use a T3. No more leaks or gurgles. If it does try to leak there is no where for it to go so it just gets sucked back up into the wicks to be vaped.

I see people talk about muted tastes with clearomizers/tanks but even muted everything tastes better than the Pall Malls I am used to so I don't even think about it.

My favorite, believe it or not, is still the eGo type B . No wicks, so no wick taste. Only problem is that they can leak, but mine has ben fine for 5 weeks now. Also, they're expensive, and getting harder to find.

My favorite clearomizer is :

Innokin I6 Dual Coil Clearomizer

The Innokin 16.

Third favorite is the T3, but it doesn't quite have the vapor of the Innokin, although it holds more juice.

I've never tried a Vivi Nova.

By the way I use a Twist, so resistance of the atomizer is not really an issue. 1.8 to 2.5 ohms is OK.

I think the t3s might be suffering from the woes of chinese mass production. It happens to a lot of stuff when something gets popular and they are struggling to keep up with demand. My originals gurgled at the end and dripped but a tiny drop that may have even been condensation. The last batch I bought get drippy before they are half-way through.

Kanger has always put out the best stuff and has always had moments where their quality control goes down the toilet. Still, the t3s and evods are the best for me so far. And they do fix their glitches sooner or later. I'm using the evod more since the t3 gets funny halfway through anyway. And it's easier to carry an extra filled evod than juice around.

Does the Evod makes much difference Vs the T3?

They are easier to rebuild, cheaper head replacement, look better, not quite as airy on the draw, and seem to flood less. Capacity is lower by almost a full mL though. So it depends on what you are willing to sacrifice for capacity.

It’s made a big difference for me. I got an Evod almost two months ago and haven’t used a T3 since. With the T3, it seemed like I was always adjusting the wicks because of gurgling or burnt hits. I haven’t touched the wicks on my Evod coils one time, except for a quick rinse once in a while. I do get a little gurgling sometimes, but for the most part, I just ignore it and it goes away.

Thanks, I might try these Evods... I don't need the clearo to hold tons of juice anyways, not a heavy vaper. I cleaned out a couple of my older T3's, dry burned, cleaned the wicks, and refilled them. Vaped it for a little bit, everything was fine, then the gurgling happened. And juice in my mouth. And some flooding as well. Delightful.

Are the Evods really that much better than the T3s? Where's the best place to get them? Between the i6 DC clearos and Evod, which would you say is better? I'm looking for something more consistent (without the finickyness and gurgling) and better flavor.

Btw, has anyone tried these Vapage clearos? I just bought some hybrid atomizers from them, waiting for it at the moment, but I've heard good things. Maybe their clearos are pretty good too? Some of them are kinda on the pricier side.

Well I bought my first T3 last week...so I don't have a lot of experience with them. But I can say that so far they are one of the best clearomizers I've tried. I'm probably weird though, I do like cartos (yes they are a pain but in my opinion the best for sampling flavors) and I plan on eventually trying some of the tanking systems and vivi novas. But my all day vapes usually end up in a CE4 V3 (the rebuildable kind) or a T3 depending on their PG/VG ratio (I've found that the kangers are more friendly to higher VG juices while the CE4s play well with 70+% PG juices).

That said, I've heard about people rebuilding their t3 coils and rewicking them. Are their videos about that?
