Well.. I have just about had it with Kanger products. Just got a 5 pack of the T3s and when they work they are terrific!. When they don't they are junk. Too much fiddling with them to get them to work right. I've had this problem with other Kanger products I have and thought the new T3s would be much better but same problems. Leaky, gurgle, adjust the pin, adjust the gaskets.. oh.. wait I overtighten it, no.. its not tight enough.

I now own 3 Dbox Unitanks and I love them! No Leaks, no gurgles no problems. So.. with all the products out there.. I can skip the Kanger stuff.. Tho I know lots of people love them.. I just am not sold on their products.. IMHO..

vape on! Yes. :)

I only ever bought one T3S and it's become a legend in my house.

is yours T3 or T3S? I bought 6 T3s and gave them all away to a needy person. They were the worst clearo I ever bought. The guy that had them re-built them, got so good at it, he bought 3 expensive rebuildables, then opened a Vape shop!

Boy, we had a laugh. I told him the story of the T3 (all 6) and how I'd sent them to some "poor guy".....and it was HIM!! :)

Talk about 1+1....

I just got and EVOD tank Friday and for the most part love it, except when it leaks....I've been using it as my daily tank but not sure if I'll stick with it (not real fond of going out for a break and having to clean it before I can vape especially when I only have 10 minutes) but otherwise it doesn't seem to shabby


a bad day at the track is better than a day of not running at all

PaDawg, I'm with you. I tried to look up D Box Unitanks & couldn't find anything.
What are they & where do you get them? I've pretty much given up on Kanger too. I don't want to perpetually mess with stuff to try & get it to work right.
Do you have a link?

Thanks
JC

I agree the kangers are problematic, I was able to fix them right to get them working good, but is was too much of a hassle. If I'm gonna rebuild I should get something that's meant to be rebuilt. Went to a real rba. What I wonder is.. the dbox insides are the same as kanger, I really don't see how thier so much better. Or a better vape.

Hi PaDawg and sorry to hear about your problems with the T3S's. I wonder if they have a quality issue with regard to uniformity because I have read about others having the same issues you have. I've just been able to dodge the bad ones. I've been using MT3S's since I started vaping 3 months ago and am fortunate that I haven't had any issues with them. I've heard that they are being discontinued, so am wondering what will replace them. I've bought about 15 of them and am using 4 or 5 at any one time with different flavors in each.

I may look something diffferent if I start running into bad ones. So far they are working for me. Thankfully there seem to be so many options available.

I have had some issues with my kanger products as well. It isn't to the point that I will never try another kanger product, if I said that then I would be kidding myself, but I don't use them as much as I used to. I have found that they work the best if you are looking to rebuild them and do things like diamond/micro coils and so on and so forth. For the basic vaper who hasn't gotten quite into rebuilding just yet, I can fully understand the anger and frustration. I wish kanger just did a bit more quality control on their products.

OK.. first off.. Sorry for calling them Dbox Unitanks.. hopefully you know I mean Dbox Puritanks. As for the Kanger products.. its all in the coils I have found. That's basically what ever caused the leaking or gurgled bull I would get. You can use Kanger coils in the Puritank but I suggest you stick with the Dbox ones. Tho if you like the draw you get from the Kanger coils.. go for it. I do have some T3s that work good but for the most part the majority of them failed for me and it was always in the coil gaskets. I even noticed some of the gaskets are a bit different then others in the T3s. Tho they pump out product so dam fast that maybe they should stay on one till its perfected, but they are out to make money and the market is so big. Will I ever try another Kanger product again.. most likely.. but not till after its out for some time and I read many and watched many YouTube reviews..

I got the PTII with my ProVari mini, I read many complaints about the PTII, but the kit pricing from ProVape made it worth a try for me. I have no leaking or gurgling issues with it, I'm just not overly impressed with the vape I get from it. I keep it filled with juice as a back up, ya know, just in case!

Well, I own a boat load of Kanger stuff. T2's - ProtankII's and use them all. I also use a lot of other gear. The way I see it is as long as they are still functional, I'll get my moneys worth out of them. (most bought through coops)
Kanger will not be seeing any more of my money though.
For twice the price I have bought devices that are 5-10 times as good. In the long run that is a lot cheaper.:)
