Im using a Tesla and absolutely love them, just bought a second one a couple weeks ago b/c I like them so much. I work at a golf course so unless im driving a cart im on my feet with my PV in my pocket. When im not working, and lay my PV horizontally between vapes i love my Kanger T2s. I do tweak my T2's a little. First i was pulling out one of the flavor wicks and a strand of the wick going thru the coil, now I've found it better to leave all the wicks in and cut a mm or so off the rubber sleeve allowing much better wicking, just be careful not to cut too much off or it will flood the center tube. I was using Kanger's BCCs, the T3 MT3 and EVOD, b/c im on my feet most of the day at work with my PV in my pocket and was getting dry hits until I started cutting the rubber sleeve. If its a fairly fresh coil head, sitting when i drive carts around b ack is enough horizontal time to not get dry hits, but I still use my BCC's occasionally at work so i dont have to worry about tipping after the coil has been through some use but the TH from the T2s is so much better. I also used to pull a flavor wick and strand of coil wick from my BCCs for better wicking but as with the T2s, have found it wicks much better when i, instead of cutting the rubber sleeve like the T2, flip the small rubber sleeve on my Kanger BCCs upside down and leave all of the wicks, allowing much better wicking. I just got a couple ismoka BCCs in the mail a couple days ago, from the short time I spent away from my T2s trying them out they seemed to have better TH the my Kanger BCCs but flipping the small rubber sleeve upside down was causing a little flooding, and the metal tube coming off the coil can be taken off to access the wicks and coil, but isnt meant to come off and is difficult do. I will spend some more time with these sometime soon and see if I can get the wicking just right w/o flooding. I have a couple Vivi's I havent used a whole lot, iClear 16 and iClear 30, the 16 i havnt used alot, didnt really like it at first and the 30 hits and wicks great, but im not a fan of the metal tip, whether its just the tip or the tank itself, every hit has a metal taste . )I tried a metal tip for my T2s and didnt like it at all)I also have a couple Kanger ProTanks's, dont get me wrong, theyre great tanks, if you like a super smooth vape. They are VERY solid, nice tanks but absolutely no TH. I kno with any BCC the TH is gonna be limited since the coil is so low, but if anyone knows of a good quality BCC tank with good TH please let me know. I have also tried a smoktech dct, didnt really like it but again, i only spent minimal time with it b/c i love my T2's. the local store that very generously gave it to me to try said its possible i got a dud carto in it so they gave me a replacement that i havent yet tried. Anyway, i love my Kanger tanks, when im not at work my T2s are great, when im at work, my T3's and EVODs work great, just dont have the TH im looking for, ive even upped my PG:VG ratio from 60/40 to 70/30, but dont want to lose any my vapor, and gone up 1-2mg/ml nic (i started at 18, went down to 14 a few weeks after i started vaping - now im back up to 15mg/ml with some liquids, and 16 with others) but im good with 14, and would like to even go down from there, other than TH. I know nicotine = TH...thats why im stuck.

If anyone has any suggestions for a BCC with good TH, or a good DCT that i could crank the voltage up for extra TH please let me know. Any ideas and experience will be greatly appreciated!

If you're willing to try a tank, try a Boge F15 carto tank--the cheapest and easiest of all the tanks to use:

You can get one from Vapelite for 4 bucks--laser pre-punched carto already installed.

If you're looking for a BCC clearomizer, try the new Vapeonly mini. It's eGo-threaded like the Kangers, but for some reason provides tons of vapor, TH and warmth. At least mine does. I got mine at LiteCig. I only have one, so it may be a fluke, but this thing is really good--so far.

thanks alot, ill def look into both of those. ive purchased from litecig before but its been a while ago...i havent seen the vapeonly yet, sounds like a winner. Ive also been looking at different RBAs, i havent been able to decide which one to go with or a good site for kanthal sp? wire and wicks. I would also like to try ceramic wicks and would also like to try to start rebuilding my Kangers...

did you tweak your vapeonly at all or just use it the way it came? the one i have like it didnt wick very well out of the box and its not like ive got thick liquid in it - 70/30. i tried flipping the small rubber sleeve over the coil upside down like i do with my t3s and evods and it flooded a little, then i flipped it back over and pulled a couple strands of wick out...its doin better, i think itll be good if i pull a couple more out...

Do you have a Mega or a mini? I understand that the mini is better. Check some Youtube reviews. I never got the Mega because of all the complaints about poor wicking and dry hits.

I just got the mini yesterday. No modifications--works out of the box. I vape thinnish eliquids, 80/20 or 70/30 PG/VG.

Sounds like you prefer the Kanger T2 for a reason. The only thing a T2 has over the bcc clearos you mentioned is a warmer vape, so top coils should be in your sights I'd say.

The Iclear16 and iclear30 are well received in that category. You might want to give either a try.

Throat hit can be enhanced by dual coils, nicotene level or pg percentage. Or alcohol.

(NOT a fan of dual coils)

i have an iclear 30 and a 16, dont really like either. the 30 wicks well, and idk if i just got a dud coil head on mine, i havent tried the replacement i bought with it, but it has a wierd taste, like metal i guess...like i said in an earlier post, i tried a metal tip for my t2 and didnt like that either. does anyone know if they make a plastic mouthpiece ffor the iclear 30? i havent been able to find one...ive tried dual coils and im not really a fan of them either. gone from 60/40 to 70/30, added pga, and gone back up a couple mg/ml of nic...i guess im just gonna stick with me T2s...i love them, BCCs just work better for me at work since im on my feet most of the time with my pv in my pocket. im constantly moving so i cant lay it flat anywhere and tipping works, but its nice to have a BCC and not have to...my new iSmoka BCC is ok...pretty good TH but it is the mega...ill order the mini, hopefully that will wick better

I just received one of these yesterday in the mail. I haven't put the thing down since. My juice usage is going way up. :)
My conclusion is the same as yours so hopefully it isn't a fluke. Good vapor, TH, warmth and flavor.

I use, in order of preference, the Mini BCC, a V3 Stardust, an EVOD, a Mini Nova, Boge cartos and a little CE2 clearo. The Mini BCC is my favorite by far.
I would recommend these to anyone wanting a clearomizer, bottom or top coil.

I have the 1.8 ohm coil in it on standard eGo batteries. My ejuice is 60/40 VG/PG, menthol, 0 nic.
I did remove one flavor wick. I was getting dry hits before doing that.
I've seen a review from VaporChase on the Mega 3.5 ml version and it seems to be the same. The only real difference is the size of the tank, they both use the same coil.

That's good to hear! Thanks for your review, Ang!
