Sitting down, facing forward.
Think of the Nano as a "micro" tank. It has a tank to hold the liquid. Inside that is an internal poly filler like a carto that feeds a wick and a coil. Overall, this makes it exactly like a larger tank system shrunken down to a nominal 1ml size. Given how small everything has to be to fit inside each other, keep in mind the actual wick/coil assembly is inside a fiber tube inside the chrome air tube with the poly fill which is inside the chrome air tube, the coil and wick are quite small.

The CE3 only has the wick and coil inside the air tube so the wick is directly fed by the liquid in the "tank" with no poly fill. Liquid consumption does seem higher, but keep in mind that the CE3 seems to produce more vapor than carto style devices and that much vapor does take more liquid to produce it.

yes it has shipped...should be here by Monday. We keeping doubling and tripling our orders...nothing seems to keep it in stock...during the sales some people buy 20 bottles at a time....we are trying hard to keep it in stock.


Imagine. Any idea when 12mg RY4 liquid will be restocked? Since it's so popular, I hope this will be a much larger supply.
 
Got my first T3 today and having huge problems. It only seems to work if it hits that just right spot on the batttery when I twist it on. To much and wont work, not enough and wont work. Only got about 10 minutes of use out of it since it got here 6 hours ago. Getting really frustrated. Can these things be duds? Am I missing some trick about these. Thought it was fill, screw on, and vape. Even let it sit for 2 hours to soak thinking that was the problem. Thats when it worked for 10 minutes. Ever since then it feels like it heats up a little, but I get almost no vapor, like I'm trying to suck vapor out of straight juice. Any help would be appreciated, about to throw this thing away.

Thanks Awsum140 for the valuable insight !!

My pleasure. I should have mentioned that in the Nano the poly fill is inside the chrome air tube at the base and the wick and coil are inside that in yet another, smaller, tube which is why the wick and coil are so small in the Nano. Overall, the Nano wick/coil portion is probably less than half the size of the wick/coil assembly in a CE3 or standard carto.

Imagine. Since there seems to be a rash of problems with fraudulant charges placed against credit cards lately, I'm beginning to get a little nervous using my visa bank card for online purchases. Does Smokeless Image accept prepaid visa cards for online purchases? I haven't had any problems but I've been thinking about getting a prepaid card for this reason.

yep as long as it has the visa/mastercard logo....prepaids are the safest way to shop online :)

I do a lot of transactions online and I use american express for everything. First of all they give a ton of cash back (at least the card I'm on, cash not points). And they also have great customer service.

I have it set up so every charge over $10 I get an email alert. About once every two years my card gets stolen by someone online (I assume). I see the charges come in, I call Amex, they remove the charges and send me out a card with a different number.

This is so far just the cost of living in the online age. I'd much rather deal with that every two years or so than deal with prepaid cards and worrying all the time :)

Edit: I also have a mastercard for companies that don't take amex. Neither have an annual fee, and so far if I have a problem they deal with it quickly and a new card comes in the mail in a few days.

JoAnn, that's all I ever use (VISA gift cards though). You just have to make sure it lets you register with all your info (name, full address - Vanilla VISA only asks you for your zip, which doesn't always pass verification). And if you opt for VISA gift cards instead of reloadables, you won't have to give them your SSN. With reloadables, you'd still have to pay to reload, and the fees aren't that much less than just buying a new gift card. You can buy gift cards in $20-$500 increments for $5.95 and they only work in the US. Expiration date is like 2019-2020, so you have awhile to use them up. Plus, it's a good way to budget your online spending.
