More things I learned today on the T3S clearo. they are not a take out tank. Took a couple of them and an evod to work today. Due to heat or something the T3S became unvapable and leaked all over. The Evods did fine as always. My T3s will be for vape at home and the evods will be my take with tanks.

I think they do not like being in the little case in my pocket. May be oriented in any direction and getting warm.
But both of them behaved horribly, just can't take them anywhere. They are grounded.

One had my cotton coil build in ti and the other had the genuine Kanger head in it. NO difference in behavior.

Heh... just like I've learned to "never say never", about vaping. Except I'm pretty sure I'll never be a cloud chaser, because of my asthma -- if my lungs would let me get away with it, I'd at least try it, but knowing how I reacted to the first couple RDAs I tried (coughing up 1.5 lung), I think I'll continue being a 10w 1.5Ω tootler forever. :)

That's me too Andria. I just can't breathe very good after trying it. Besides even if I wasn't allergic to VG I wouldn't vape it anymore than I would inhaling wax. That stuff is nasty.

This is one reason why a one-solution-fits-most scenario doesn't work in vaping. I'm sensitive to PG. Somewhere around 40% I start with irritation. At 60% I get a raw, sore throat and nasal passages/sinuses. I keep my PG % to a max of 30 in my DIY. If I had additional problems similar to AndriaD & 5cardstud, I wouldn't be able to vape at all. So I'm always looking for setups that perform well with 70-90% VG.

It's in my blog you can get to by clicking my Avatar, it is silent, no need to hear me mumble through a rebuild.
It's painful enough to watch! :)
So far, it is the only video out there...
You are the master. You talked me into getting one. Thank you sir.

That's odd because I that's about the % of vg I can stand if I don't vape to much. One puff too much and I get a severe headache.

I start having problems with any juice above 30% VG. After a bit of trial and error if I stick to 70PG 30VG max I do great. I can't imagine what it would be like with one juice fits all :yawn:

The easy solution for this is to store them up-side-down (drip tip down) when not in use. The excessive heat of summertime causes pressure to build up in the tank and forces the liquid out through the coil. The only place for it to go is out the air flow holes and onto your battery. When the device is upside down, the air can escape without forcing the juice out.

I agree YoursTruli, vaping is such a subjective thing, everything from flavor to pg/vg ratios to coil builds affects each of us differently. When I started vaping I liked a higher pg level for that throat thump, now I don't want more than 50% pg, any more than that gives me a sore throat. Also hated any fruit vape for a long time, but here lately I like a berry blend now and then.

I do not keep them on a battery unless using when carrying them about. might give one a temporary pardon and try the upside down thing tomorrow.

So on the beach you lay on your back and vape upside down?

I hope you find them as good as I did! :thumb:

Cheech, do you have a KF mini? I have a couple of the clones I got from FT last summer. I really struggled with wicking (serious dry hits), and I think I have my kf lite and es3.1 under control, but the minis.... those are another story. I typically use a 3/32" or 1/8" bit with 28g kanthal. I'm anywhere up to about 1.5ohms, and wick with cotton. I've been trying the "bunny ears" method of trimming wick to appropriate length. With the tails coming up the top of the build deck, I trim to about 1/16 showing above the chimney base. Tuck the tails, soak the wick, put the rest of the chimney back together and install. Dry hits are a little less frequently (I was getting after about every 3 hits when I was wrapping around my 1/16" bit and 30g kanthal.) Now, I can probably go about 10 hits before it nails me.

I'm kind of a chain vaper (love that I can get away with that on my PT2s....) Run about 10, maybe 11W on the above build.

Got any tips/tricks to wicking?

I have the Russian 91, Fogger, and the Kanger sub mini...not a fan of any of them.
The Wick I have had the best luck with is the pancake wick, it sounds counter-intuitive, but it worked great!

I am just not an RTA guy...sorry I'm not much help to you. :oops:
