I broke down and got some others. I couldn't wait. I still prefer the CE3s. I am not a big fan of the T3. I have only used them for a few days though. I was a little disappointed in them. I expected a lot more from them. I wish I would have only bought one instead of three.

Cool vape compared to the ce3. I like the warmer vape from the CE3.

It is big. heavy. and the bottom sleeve heats up. Similar to the way the mouthpiece on the X2 clearo heats up. It is uncomfortable to me. My finger/thumb doesn't like it.

I find the taste better from a CE3.

Airy... holy crap these things are airy.

Easy to fill...and holds a lot.

At the moment, I am sticking with the CE3s.

more confusion......:facepalm:.........he she likes this he she don't like that....................I love me x2 love me clearo......just wish it didn't leak.....that's it..............

Debra...don't cha worry. The means of delivery is just as subjective as taste of eliquids. Some swear by CE3's, and I didn't even mind filling them with a syringe, but I have had nothing but trouble from the little buggars. I have had a couple of problems with the Clearos, but by trial and error, tightening the cap or the entire clearo just a smidge, filling not quite so full, etc...and I personally take the Clearos over the CE3's anyday. I usually have at least 5 clearos going at the same time.

But that is my personal preference, and I have a couple of the T3's too. I am still using the first one, it is a little finicky as to which way the bottom will screw completely onto the base, but once I find the magic combination, it has worked flawlessly.

I have a little box full of items I no longer use...and one day I will probably put together a PIF to pass items on to people who can use them.

It takes time, trial and error, but if it works for you...then that's all that matters.

What really matters is what you like. Unfortunately it is test approach.

I should have just bought one. It is a bottom coil so I figured it would be just like a CE3. To me I was wrong.

You may love them... only one way to know.

Side note.. some have taken an o ring from another Clearo and doubled up on the mouthpiece. It takes a little force to screw in but they swear by it. I never needed to.

I got some of the clearos where the flat ring between the silver top cap and the clearo came completely out on first fill, one I could fix, but the other I couldn't so I did the double o ring on the mouthpiece on that one but it was very difficult to screw on, and unlike Debra, I don't have egg sack fingers but do have arthritis and it just wasn't worth it.

Like Bill, I am hoping the T3's for the Volts get here soon...I have points just waiting to be burned...:D

There is a kind of "break in" period before it really kicks with flavor & vapor, but like you I found them too airy, especially using an adapter.

Put a tiny piece of tape over one airhole... that helps... just don't use duct tape :laugh:

T3s aren’t perfect, but what is? The expectations for these have been built up pretty high. I guess I’ve contributed to that. I don’t notice the bottom getting too warm, but they are really airy. It helps a lot if you plug one of the air holes on the knurled part of the coil assembly.

My biggest concern is that the SI-T3 isn’t going to be a genuine Kanger T3. Is it better? Is it worse? It’s definitely going to be a little different. I think I’ll only buy one until we find out.

Yeah I went through a few toothpicks. I closed off all 3 holes. Not good. Then I tried 2 then 1.. Rinse repeat.. Explain to the misses what I was doing. Watch the kids laugh at me. Going in and out from the porch.

Fortunately it was my night with gymnastics so I got to testing a bunch at gymnastics.

How long would the break in period be? I am not sure I can get over the sleeve heating up though.

Duct tape is for the final if I decide I like them. Figure cutting a sliver of it would mask it pretty good, although the toothpick works nicely.

It must be the luck of the draw because I haven't had any problems with my clearo's... except one which was user error. When I was filling the clearo, it pooled around the top and went down the airhole. Didn't notice because I was trying to make sure I didn't overfill it. Put the top on... waited about 5 minutes and noticed a slight leakage coming from the bottom. I wiped it off... waited, nothing. Screwed it on my X2, got gurgling but kept going because it just needed to wick a little more. Gurgling continued. Unscrewed it from the battery, pooling on the post & threads. Carefully cleaned the battery and for some reason I decided to blow through the airhole and liquid shot out. Blew a couple more times until I didn't hear anything, wiped it off underneath... screwed back on. It worked beautifully, no more leaks. Now I fill VERY slowly in bright light, sit it up, rotate, continue to fill, wipe off the inside seal before screwing the tip back on. No more problems. Just my :2c:

Oh, I recently purchased some of the flat replacement tips. Love them soooo much better!

Yeah I can't get over the thread sleeve part. Man that bad boy heats up. I am afraid it may melt the fire button or some of the electronics in it. I haven't opened the third one though.. After about 6-10 puffs that sucker is hot.... but it doesn't go any hotter with more puffs that I can tell. It is just enough "hot" to be uncomfortable.
