Frustrated and grumpy! Kanger T2

[Wishdog]

My T2 is doing fine. Yeah, I burnt the head out within a week or so, but I'm like that. I'm treating the second head much better and I'm off VG now. My issue is the difficult draw, especially when the air hole lines up with the button and my thumb covers it.

I'd own three if they'd let me use my own drip tip.

I've not gone Nova as I think they look clunky. Though I use CE3s that looks like fuses from Soviet tractors from the 1960s, so who am I to talk.

(I reccomend the new non-smokymizer CE3s most heartily and possibly zealously. Syringes, sure, but all but one that I've used (had a blatant manufacturers defect) have been excellent. That older gal who does the youtube stuff has a vid really praising them. There is a learning curve on filling/refilling them. It's all about the air.

Clearos= crap. Clearos=great. There is no product consistency and that is the problem with the EC vendors--1 person vapes theirs and the next person it vomits on. Be prepared to be angry and sad then happy then sad etc. in the clearo money pit world.

I just bought the Vivi 2.5 and the vivi mini. I have actually gone 1 week in the EC world and not had to throw anything out--I just rewash the 2.4 head. The only thing that stops these from being the best in the entire world (besides head break in time) is it mutes my DIY juice. If you have strong juice you may want to try one out and leave the leaky clearo world.

I have used these CE3's since April and couldn't be happier. I can't really knock any CE2 types as they are the reason I don't use cartos anymore.
However, once I tried the CE3, I then realized flavor profiles of my juice I hadn't noticed before.
I've also noticed that if you clean and dry burn the CE3's, you don't have any break in period. The reason being they have shipping/antibacterial fluids that need to be removed. Is it possible that the vivi heads also experience this?

I am willing to give them a try, but most of the vendors I trust say that there are only the V1; V2 and now V3.
Rumor is that Gotvapes invented the v2.5 as the manufacter doesn't even offer this version for sale.

I'm off to look at them now and will report back once it's been evaluted.

CE3 - 5 Pack

Give these a shot, been working great for me, excellent flavor. 10 bucks for a pack of 5, comes with a crappy drip tip, but most 510 tips will work. comes with a syringe to fill them also, you have to fill it upside down, but works great!!! I stopped using cartos because these puppies rock!

Thanks guys, these CE3's look interesting. I'll look into them.

Well, so did my Phoenix Bottom Coils... The first box was the best thing ever. The second, there were no real holes so I had to jam a blunt needle through solid rubber (almost) and had leaks on 4/5 and burned through $12 in 1 day. That's the clearo world--you can post some good experiences with yours, but lots of them are duds or leaky or flawed. And it's NO REFUNDS FOR JOO! when you open the box. I'll stick to my Vivi 2.5-- I just went 1 week without throwing out one thing and having clearo stuff rip money from my wallet which is a record for me. You can have that Stardust you snuggled to last for 3 weeks, but the next 2 can be leaky crap. That's the clearo world...

I had the same thing with the holes not being punched all the way through the silicone seal around the head. The blunt needle I used had a hard time. I really should have gotten a safety pin or something. But I'm not having any leaking.

I did have one out of this box leak, but that was because the inside of the bottom part (the negative or positive side of the thing, the part in the middle) wasn't secured.

All others have been fine, though I do get a little wicking issue when I first start vaping on one that's been sitting for a while, or that's what it seems like. I'd think it'd be the other way around.

I love CE3. If you use a 60/40 mix they wick great and deliver consistent vapor. Syringe is a big drawback.

I'm having problems with the Kanger T2. Either flood or dry hit, sometimes I have no taste... There has to be a way around.

I bought two boxes of CE3 a month ago and they're still going strong. Two or three stopped working but the rest I've been filling and refilling over and over. Stay away from the 3ml though, they burn fast.

I've been using Cinnamon Red Hots at 18% DIY in my Kanger T2 and not a single crack. This is the "Atomic Cinnacide" juice, and I've cracked polycarbonate tubes within 15 seconds of this juice touching them before. I've put 20 tanks of my juice through a T2 on the original head, and although it's fogged up, there hasn't been a single crack. I can say with certainty it's not your juice causing the leaks.

Sometimes it's the luck of the draw, but I would guess it wasn't glued on a certain part of the window, or you dropped/tipped it onto something that broke part of the seal, causing it to leak. I always buy 4 of everything I try, and if I don't like it, my friends get to try them out for free.

I would buy another and keep trying the T2, but out of all the reviews I've seen, you're the first person I've seen have an issue with juice leaking out the tube, so I would say this is a manufacturer issue. See if you can get a replacement from the vendor you purchased them from, but you may try LiteCig or Discount Vapers in the future, they have awesome customer service and would replace it in a heartbeat in this situation

My Kanger stopped leaking. The issue was user error. I was tipping it and vaping at the same time, so its no wonder it was leaking. It has never leaked again. - Could this be what users are doing? I am embarrassed, as I have been vaping for over 6 months and should know better.

Just started using a Kanger T2 for the past 2 days, no issues so far. Vapes great, bought a couple with the 1.7-1.9 ohm heads. I went ahead and ordered a few more from the same vendor. An airy vape, but I like that! My husband likes the ce3's but he's having to top off the liquid 2 or 3 times a day. I gave the Kangers a shot because they hold more liquid, 2.4 mls if filled to the top. So far so good.

Cinnamon red hots, i think i'll try that. Thanks L7D4N

Today I noticed that not all heads are the same. Remove the silicon cap and you'll see two kinds: One has a wide slot and other a narrower slot. Now I'm using it, I'll take pictures in a couple of days when I wash it. Also I added the flavor thread and it has improved... So much tinkering... Next time around it'll be a GG Odysseus...

I have 3 different resistance heads all from the same vendor. I don't think I've ever came across that had different size slots though... I'll have to check later when I get home.

What did you do to add a flavor wick? Just add a strand from one of the dead T2 heads on top of the working coil?

It's a simple cotton thread on top of the coil. Put it as far down as you can and pull the silicon plug in. It improves wicking and flavor dramatically.

I've had word back from the supplier and they blame the juice.
I have to say this must be a very poor design if juices cause them to leak.
So I'll just notch this one up to experience and move on.

I still like the look of the clearomizers and how easy they are to fill.
Anyone had any experience with the Visions Ego Rainbow V3 Clearomizer?

I had the same issue with the T2s. And I made the switch to the V3s. Haven't regretted it since
