I am really loving this new T3 design, especially the fact that heads are replaceable. It is extremely solid, and doesn't "flex" the way the x2 clearos do, due to having the Ego style connection instead of 808. The center tubes of my X2 clearos would always deviate from the center of the housing after carrying in a pocket, connected to a battery... Which sometimes led to leaks at the battery connection. The T3 doesn't seem to have this issue as it has a solid connection to the battery without any wiggle room.
I really feel like this design is here to stay! SI should make a glass (Corning or Pyrex for safety and durability) and metal version! I think it would be really cool to have a unit made completely of glass and metal (outer center tube, upper metal ring, and mouthpiece all one piece). Essentially there would only be 3 parts to the unit, plus the replaceable heads.
Obviously something like this would be more expensive, but I for one would pay a premium for it! It would be so much better than the "MT3" design which is basically the standard T3 with a metal sleeve over it.
Not only would it last a long time, but it would allow for easy cleaning and switching of flavors (with a different head of course). It would also allow SI to focus on making improvements to the heads (maybe making different versions for different juice types ie. 100% PG, 100% VG and everything between). Obviously different juice types don't wick the same... Which is why some complain of dry hits, others complain of flooding, etc.
From a profit perspective, I'm sure the price could be set high enough to cover the cost of x number of T3's a typical person buys for one flavor of e liquid. I would typically use 3 X2 clearos per flavor, per 6 months or so with cleaning. With the T3s I'm thinking this will translate to 3 clearos plus 3 head replacements every 6 months... Around $30 per unit... And then you could maybe offer packages with replacement heads...
I'm sure people would buy different ones for different flavors... And also I'm sure people would break them now and then and need replacements, like the iPhone which can handle light drops but not having a dumbbell dropped on it (I had a coworker who did this lol).
Anyway I hope I made a valid argument, and I'm curious to see what other members think!
