So I've been using the T3 clearomizers for a while, I used to drip but since I'm on the go a lot and had a fairly good experience with the T3's, I've switched to those almost completely. But lately, I've been really disappointed in the taste and flavor of juices, thinking it's the juice's fault for not being strong enough. My old atomizers have also burned out (they still work but very poor vapor and flavor) so I eventually decided to order some new ones. I tried dripping with them today (Betterlife dripping atty) with juices I previously thought to be too weak and HOLY WOW!! What a huge difference in taste! It's almost like I'm tasting something completely different than before... I can't believe how much clearos mute flavor. I guess I had just gotten so used to them that I forgot how good juices taste in atomizers. But is there any way to get good flavor in a clearo/tank type device where I don't have to constantly refill? I've tried cartos and carto tanks and they just don't really work for me. Not a fan of the Vivi Novas either... don't know much about rebuildable atomizers but unless its REALLY easy to do, I'd rather not tinker with the innards of these things and screw it up.

Like others said, bottom-feeder. I don't have one because I don't mind dripping and switch flavors a lot. I use cartos on the go but don't use the same flavors I use to drip because, as you noticed, it's better not to know what you're missing. No carto or clearo I've tried can replicate the atty, I always notice either an added taste or muting of cetain flavor notes. So far, with an RBA, I get some good results, but there's so many variables. With a silica wick the taste was good, but I still noticed a flavor from the wick. The longer you stick to dripping the less hassle it seems. No more than having to grab a lighter for a cigarette.

Hey all,
I started 20 days ago. eGo 650 and 1 clearo. 20 days later and $470 I have 27 juices, 300ml. PG/VG, 7 clearo's, eGo 1000 mah, 5 Kanger T3's on the way. Learned how to tear apart a carto on Sunday and have really had fun!! Drip 2 drops and toot. I can even mix 2/4 drops to test flavors. Dripping is different I think for tasting flavors. Everyone should try it.

The Pheonix (clone) rebuildable works really well, it's easy to make a coil for it and I do 6-8 drops in it at a time. That's enough for the drive to work or a nice vape session at work. I vape a lot of Boba's and dripping is the only way I vape it. Every couple of days I dry burn the coil and it vapes even better than when it was first made. I make a new coil every week or two. And you can get them for $8-$12.

How old are the coils and wicks in the T3's? They don't stay good forever.

very true. i got about 4 or 5 tanks worth before my T3 began tasting burnt and discolored the juice. not too shabby for a $2 coil.

for the OP, +1 on the bottom feeder. you can get a vmod for 1/2 price when the sale hits, which is almost every month lately.
eventually you may want to get into RBAs. i have noticed that my genesis style RBAs give me the best flavor hands down. stainless steel mesh wicks freekin rock. outstanding flavor and TH. puts my atties, novas, cartos, carto tanks, and clearos to shame. thats not to say i dont use the other types of devices, because i do just out of ease of use. and honestly, some juices shine no matter what yuo put them in. usually fruit juices. the majority of fruit flavors ive tried taste magnificent in anyhting i put them in. but there often are times when ive got the hankering for my RBA and nothing else will satisfy. the better you get at them, the more you can rely on them.
