Oh man... Started looking at ihybrids for the first time last night and now I want one!

Are you leaving the top silicone ring on?
I sometimes turn mine upside down because I chain vape and the top ring may limit the wicking under chain vape conditions.
I could see taking off the top silicone ring may cause flooding.

Do your T3s leak after you recoil them or just straight out of the box?

I've not had one leak out of the box, but after I recoiled the first couple they immediately would start to flood and leak.
Again, I just ended up putting an extra wick laid across the coil and put the metal tube back over the coil/queen wick set-up.
The extra wick seemed to stop the flooding/leaking...

Straight out of the box after a second fill. I'll Hafta look for that top ring

Just putting this out there, but if you want to send 'em to me, I'd be happy to take a look at them.
Somehow, it sound like you're breaking the vacuum that makes these work...

The T3s are one of my go-tos now.
I really enjoy the flavor and ease and now that I can recoil them, they're very economical too!
I'm going to pick up a MT3 next time I order something from someplace that carries them as I use alot of cinnamon juices.
I have an EVOD on its way to me from a trade. I'm going to figure out how to recoil those too.

I also got a lot of juice popping out the mouthpiece too when I used it. I'm assuming cause it was flooded?

Likely, the liquid coming from the mouthpiece (if there's alot of it) isn't juice, but the vapor condensation.
After you've been vaping for a bit, hold a paper towel under the mouthpiece and turn it upside down - you'll get several drops come out. This happens as the hotter vapor hits the cooler mouthpiece/air. It's normal.

It happens with the Vivi Nova, but the condensation build up under the top ring.
Personally, I don't like the Vivis just for that reason - I tend to get the condensation in my mouth using them....

If you like the bottom coil setups, you may want to try the kanger pro tank when it comes out. It holds more juice, comes with a pyrex tank, so no more worrying about juices. It also looks like it's made to be rebuild (or can be), and the setup is very similar to the t3s. I don't like the t3 as much as other people seem to like them, but if the pro tanks turn out to be as good as PBusardo says they are, those may replace my vivi novas.

I just got a VapeOnly BCC tank - looks alot like the ProTank.
I'm not crazy about the VapeOnly tank - it gurgles a fair amount and has a hard time keeping up with my chain vaping.
I tried messing with it in terms of the queen coils again, and while that helped, it still didn't solve the issue.
I'll probably end up getting the ProTank at some point just to try it out, but I'm definately going to read up on real-world reviews first.

The vape only is the one that you just push in the coil, right? If that's the one, I think Pbusardo was worried about the grommet (or whatever that is) wearing out from pulling and pushing in the coil repeatedly. Maybe that's not what's causing the gurgle though. Maybe add another small piece of silica to the top? It could be you're getting too much juice into the atomizer itself.

I really want to try out the ProTank. I'm just excited in the way it's built. You can rebuild it, and it's pyrex, too! I love glass .

this sounds cool! So far the vivi nova has worked best for me.... no condensation whatsoever!

Don't know if you've already seen PBusardo's review, but here it is:



His review is what made me want one, and have a time travel device .

Edit: I couldn't link to his web page, so here's the video direct.

Ill watch that in a bit thanks! When is the release date?

So I got a basic DID clone and played around with mesh and the Petar K method and used a thin layer of cotton from a cotton ball as coil insulation - no shorts, no hot spots and it took maybe a 1/2 hr.

BUT, I just don't think that Gennies are for me.
I don't like messing with the mesh.
And really, I can't tell that the flavor is any better. In fact, it may be a touch worse, but that may be the set-up breaking in.
All in all, a bit disappointing.
I also have a solid tank on my clone DID and I don't like not being able to see liquid level.

Eh.

I'm actually pretty satisfied with my RBAs - I have a phoenix, Reomizer, Chalice I, and A7.
I use bamboo mostly (Thanks you, Giant Love!).

I just wanted to try mesh to see if I could do it, really.

Oooh! And I recently figured out how to recoil T3 heads and stop the leaking of T3s!
You need to make sure you replace the extra piece of queen wick on top of the coil - but not too much because then you'll get dry hits.

I'm really getting into the whole RBA thing!
I'm lusting after an ERA/Hornet, but my natural frugality is getting in my way. *Sigh*

I may try to save up for a Reo mini/Hornet combo.
Oh, man, yes! *Drool*

Well look at you and all your rebuildables! Didn't I pif one to you a while back when you were first getting into them?? I can't quite remember, it was a while back!

I have no idea. One of PBusardo's thumbs down was "you can't get them yet".

Kanger sent that set directly to him, so I'm assuming they wanted some feedback before the production goes live. So, I'm afraid it may not be soon.

argggg.... who knows though. Maybe when my new penelope wire comes in I wont need anything else

And please let me know if those coils work on the Penelope. I want to know if I did good

Im already pretty sure they will work.... the description is exactly what im using now (minus wrapping the coild on the silica myself)

Now im hooked on looking at iHybrids and the GP piccolo.... anyone here ever owned either?

 

[wolandepiphanius]

Hill Giant probably has had one in his hands probably. I hope he chimes in soon. He can answer so many of your questions.
