The discernable difference is that they are awful. They hid the wires by sending one down the airflow tube so that liquid would follow it down to your battery as well as restrict airflow. Thank god they tested them for months to make sure they sucked before hyping and selling them. I hear the bottom coil ones are better.

Thanks a lot for the feedback Charlz. I guess I'll stick with the fluxos instead.

I love my M3 batteries. Really nice size, good battery life (my progression was stick batts>M3, never tried a fat batt) I've had one of my two over two months and no problems. They're not regulated, and hit quite hard fresh off the charger, so go easy for the first few puffs, but they settle to 3.7v (I assume, I don't have a meter or anything) quickly and stay there till just before they need a charge.

The M3 clearos are great. Excellent vapour and throat hit on the standard resistance, can be cleaned, out of the eight I've had in rotation since I got them two months ago I've tossed two (one I fried beyond hope, the other developed cracks after sitting unused for several weeks with juice in). None of my others have had cracks and none of the others have had a bad taste that couldn't be cured by a wash.

Haven't tried CE3's yet, but I've heard good things :)

so what's the verdict on the Volt Nanos? I'm very out of the loop. Are they a rebranded something or other?

I miss my stick batts sometimes :)

They're apparently exclusive to SI, but the 510 version has popped up elsewhere already. They are basically a wee all-in-one carto tank, the Wick and coil has a small amount of filler wrapped around it, but it's housed in such a way that if cleaned with water, it's not going to dry. Some people have had funky tastes, muted flavour/vapour, but others love them. I haven't tried them yet, I'm sort of nervous.

sounds a lot like these from mountain vapor 808d Tank Atomizer that have been out for awhile.

They are alright on first fill but develop airflow issues. If you take them apart you can replace the coil in a cut down ce2 type tube and drip. That's about all you can get if you want to keep using them past a refill or two. And it's only for careful drip/vape/drip/vape cause it won't hold more than a drop of juice. But if you use large capacity cartos and want a cheap way to test new juices, they fit the bill if all you want is to vape a ml or so and toss them.

Well, I got some M3s from VaporKings today...so far they are amazing. The only problem I see so far is using up juice too fast as I'm having a hard time putting it down. I am optimistic that they will hold up.

About cleaning...do you just put a little warm water in an shake a bit, like a full size clearo? Or do you need to soak them for awhile?

I force warm water into them using a syringe several times and let them dry for a few days in the hot water cupboard. Come up like new.

Has anyone seen the Kanger T4 yet in 808? Gotvapes has them in 510 http://www.gotvapes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1260 but I'm jonesing for these in 808 bad!

Thanks, K, I will give that a shot. Funny, I was just looking at those T4s, too, wondering if anyone has an 808 version. They do make them:

Those GotVapes Kanger T4's look like V2Cig's LiquiMax clearos...don't you think? Wonder if GotVapes will carry the 808 version? Prices are better there.

Yep, they look identical, don't they? Pity V2 expects me to pay $38 to ship 3 clearos. Cheeky buggers. Guess I'll be waiting till someone stocks the 808's that isn't a rip off artist.

Sometimes I think some of these vendors just can't be bothered with non-US customers and that's why they set their shipping costs so high as to be prohibitive.

Yep. I've already asked healthcabin (my usual hardware go-to) if they'll be stocking them, they pretty much said they weren't interested. Seems unusual, and make me wonder if V2 haven't got some kind of monopoly arrangement that stops the other vendors from stocking them in 808. I'm off to find my tinfoil hat ;)

I'll wait and see and hope that Gotvapes or somewhere else gets them in 808.

I just got the Nano Clearo's from SI and I have to say that I'm really liking them so far!

Well I posted this before my first nano clearo from SI stopped working... I think the coil burnt out because I'm getting no vapor and lots of juice splatter if I draw hard enough... I just took a few minutes to fill up one of their CE3 Clearos... I'll report on it in a few days

A decent multi-meter can be bought for about $20 at Lowes/Walmart etc that takes the guess work out of whether you have burnt out the coil or not. It's the best tool to have too if your going to be taking these apart to clean and rebuild. Just make sure it's capable of reading low ohms.

The first thing to try is a center post adjustment. Wiggle it from the side (between the outside screw post and the center pin) with a little with a thin screw driver or the head of a pin. The posts float and sometimes don't make contact with the battery. Sometimes if you clean the battery or hardware post, you can push it in a little and it has to be pried up a little. It's very slight. Don't force it up, just a slight wiggle is usually enough on the battery or the hardware to get it to make good contact again.
