Did I fry this clearo?

[HyperRealist]

Kanger T3. The clear juice turned super dark and it wouldn't hit for crap. Toss the coil?

Have you cleaned it? Should be able to unscrew the bottom and run water through it. Then blow it out and dry it.

You could put a new coil and wick in it, perhaps. (Can't remember if it's rebuildable or not, so maybe you can't.)

All I can say is - I fried a clearo last night - took it apart and was too tired to put it back together.

I only ran one tank through it, cleaned it. then filled it again when this happened. I did just clean it again but I don't want to waste juice filling it up again if it is junk. The first tank I ran through it stayed crystal clear. The second tank got so dark so couldn't even see light through it. Then it barely hit. My tastes buds are shot so I didn't notice a burnt taste.

Did it happen gradually by continuously refilling it?

Every 5 refills I dump the remaining liquid at the bottom and clean coil & tank with hot water.

I have usually found I have to dump the juice of the burned coil.

Likewise, every time my tastebuds were shot for a few hours the coil was inevitably burned and needed to be replaced along with the juice in the clearo tank.

Does it hit at all? I had a problem with mine where it wouldn't fire at all. I had to pry the connection up with a small screwdriver. But you may have a fried coil. Replacements are cheap. Personally I hate my T3. I've found that I get better flavor with a carto tank. Just to be sure I filled up my T3 with juice today, and the flavor is non existent compared to my smoketech carto tank. Not sure if there is something wrong with mine too, but I don't even want to use it anymore. Sucks because I have an unused replacement head for it still in the package.

It happened suddenly not gradually. It hit but barely.

I haven't used them, but there's a thread on dryburning them here:

If you go to the 3.28 mark on this video he shows the clean/dryburn:

Unscrew the tip and pry out the rubber gasket through the metal airhole with a paperclip, fill it up with vodka and soak overnight, then dump out and rinse with more vodka. Now attach it to a battery and do some 10 second presses (a dry burn) continue until you can see the wires glow. This may take many times depending on how dirty it is. Once you see the wires glow place the rubber piece in the opening and use the drip tip to secure back in place. You should be able to reuse it again. I have corrected this problem before using this method.

Someone posted a link to a Youtube Vid for rebuilding a T3 coil.

I am pretty sure you are not talking about a Kanger T3.

Sounds like the coil is gunked up. Is your juice sweet? I haven't used those but it needs cleaning and dryburning.
