I guess the t3 kanger is not for me...

[spainman]

Well really I don't know what's going on. As quickly as I can lay it out... I have one T3, went through 2 coils... and BOTH of them have leaked badly on to my battery, like virtually leaked all the juice out. Both started off fine (vaped a cool mentol citrus 1st time and a ECblend sweet flavor called TKO the 2nd), until suddenly the flavor got really good for a second... then came the gurgling and bad leaking. Both did the same thing.

I was almost ready to pass after the first coil until I kept reading all the good reviews, so I went ahead and ordered another coil (thinking okay they're leaking right out the bottom soo...), tried it out (was doing a CE4 redux vs T3 comparison), thinking all was well and suddenly it started after a few hrs.

Am I doing something wrong here? My pv is an SST eGo Twist btw, and I tried vaping the T3 around 3.5-4.0v.

I'm about to give up on them completely unless I can figure this out, but actually I'm personally still liking the stardusts still anyways.

Both may have started around when they got to about 6ml btw... and if I set it down it is still leaking out to where I have to wipe a bit of juice.

 

[mad maori]

give up on them i reckon, get innokin dual coilclearomizer they a bit hard to find but really good...

Are you sure the orings are installed and the right size?

Is that the rubber ring around the upper base of the coil?

It's not unheard-of for citrus flavors to eat right through clearos.

Where did you purchase the T3 from?

Apparently Phil from Taste Your Juice is pretty mad about the "T3's" available at GotVapes...

This kinda inconsistency from vendor to vendor or even carto to carto drove me nuts when I first started vaping; don't give up man. Seems like now days you can get into a decent rebuildable atomizer and mod for fairly cheap.

My T3 and extra coil came from gotvapes indeed...

So I hear... but I've used two flavors, and everything I've tried does fine in the CE4's

Bah. It won't link. Just go to Tasteyourjuice.com and read the top post.

It's enough to drive me nuts. But it's also the way of the world.

Interesting... soo looks like I may be ordering from the wrong place... I figured they were all created equal... hmmm...

There should be an upper rubber ring just above the threads in the cap,my brother had one missing.

Inside the cap? One has the rubber ring, the other has a plastic cap above the threads to the cap where a ring would've been.

I don't know what's going on but I have two T3's from GotVapes and both work fine. One is red and has white lettering (scales) that go up and down. The other is Clear and has black lettering that goes up and down. They are like the ones shown in the product pictures at gotvapes.com. I've used the red one for a couple of weeks now (ordered about 2 weeks ago), even cleaned it out once. The Clear one is new as of yesterday (ordered a few days ago). Neither leaks at all, not even a little bit. I don't understand the issue pbusardo had at tasteyourjuice.com. Maybe someone from gotvapes can shed some light.

Edit: Just a note to indicate the Clear T3 I ordered a few days ago was just the tube as they were out of stock on the complete T3. The red one was ordered as a complete, assembled T3.

I buy these clear-o things expecting them not to work well. Got a T3 on the way from myvaporstore dot com (black writing in pics on their site), still, low expectations.

I have never had a t3,i use the vivi novas,my bottom and top caps screw off and there are rubber rings just above the outside threads,i know my bro was missing one top ring and his was leaking ,,do you have a pic>?\

do you see the o ring?

A little more info. When I cleaned my red T3, I took apart the coil and forgot about the two extra wicks that are placed there just above the coiled wick. I then tried using it and it leaked a bit and gurgled a lot. I then remembered about the extra wicks and was lucky enough to find them on the drain strainer I had placed in my sink. Dried them off and put them back on and the leaks and gurgling stopped. The T3's do tend to gurgle a bit when they are almost empty, like down to the wicks. Adding more juice stops the gurgling.

Maybe those extra wicks are missing in the coils that leak? I have also heard of someone who got a defective tube. He bought just a tube and it worked fine with his old coils from the defective tube.

Yes the ring is there. It is the very thin silicon gasket at the bottom against the cap.

That white piece? If that's it then yea I have that on mine.

Edit: no wait the other white ring, yes that is there too.

 

[orbach]

spainman, there are three silicon gaskets total, the top one at the bottom of the tube, the middle one covering the coils, and the bottom very thin one that seals when you thread the coil on the tube.
