Is this a Kanger head?

[ta2dave76]

Guys and gals, need some help on this...I think the girl at the vape shop doesnt know her hardware.

I recently bought a couple of clearos...I was told it was a T3. It doesnt say Kanger anywhere on the tank, then again neither does my other T3. Visually they are the same, one of them the air tube is plastic, the other metal. One of the heads has a stem, the other does not...

Supposed "T3" on left, TS3 middle, T3 right. Im stumped. And cant find these "stemless" heads from any of the vendors. It works. It works very well, better than the TS3 and T3 head...it it from a T3 clone maybe? The stemless head fits the T3 and the TS3...

Thanks for any help.

Did it come with the Plastic tube Tank?
Definitely nothing I've seen from Kanger

Unless Kanger has done something I'm not aware of, no the one on the left is not Kanger. With it being plastic in places Kangers are metal, I'm confident in that "no".

 

[EvilZoe]

Yeah, sure doesn't look like Kanger.

Doesn't look like Kanger to me, I'm not aware of any of their clearomizers ever using a plastic tube. They are always metal with the vertical lines (until the new versions start popping up which will have a somewhat different design on the metal tube)

I haven't seen the one on the left.
It's definitely something "other". From a different brand or something.
But you say it works great - let us know if you find a source online!
I suppose it would fit an EVOD as well?

If it performs as well as you say you've sure got my attention.... (Following this thread).

Ok...the blue one I was told was a t3, however there are no markings except "CE", and it looks like an X over a trash can. The other I got last Friday, I was also told it was a T3. It has no markings, and the inner tube is a clear plastic, and has the "no stem" head. The font on the numbers is identical. I asked the other day if they had any T3 heads or coils, the girl fished around in a box and gave me another stemless head.

So, I now have two heads with no stems that fit the T3S, the blue T3- not even sure its really a T3 now, and the mystery clearo.

My TS3 says KangerTech, w/ T3S under it. I figured the T3 would also say Kanger?

I know Im still very new to the vaping world, but dang this is confusing the crap out of me lol.

 

[ta2dave76]

I mean it works good, little to no gurgle, and it fits all the clearos I have, minus the iClear16 and mini protank of course.

No the air tube in the clearo is plastic...not on the head.

The clear airtube has been discussed here with the evods. Those are knockoffs. I guess that also answers the no stem question.

 

[Train2]

The only clear airtube I've seen is this, and it's not a total T3 lookalike like yours is.
The top view too, is still really unusual - the one on the left, is the silicone gasket sitting directly on top of a "short fat stem" that's part of the coil? Or is it like the original T3, and you can't even really get AT the coil?

...

The gasket snugs right up to the airtube.

 

[Krizzell]

Clear plastic has to be a clone.

 

[Train2]

Looks like consensus says "copy".
Since it's working well, the remaining question is - can you replace the coil only?
If yes, then what do they cost?
If no, what does a new base cost?
A real Kanger T3S, you can replace the coil for like $1.20...

 

[ta2dave76]

Well...with a little bit of snooping on Alibaba, I think I found a match. Witshine Tech ltd...

Interesting. They have protanks as well. I should buy some and have "Tattoo Dave's Ultimate Clearo" put on them and sell them for 1/2 what the vape shop charges....

Im sure I can get the heads at the local vape shop, but seems like they are trying to make $$$ off the noobs like me.

yeah, that's wild a nylon coil assembly

can you unscrew that out of the base & take the silicone cup washer off
then 'snap' a picture ??

can't say I ever seen one of those before...


edit: maybe a T3 not a T3S

The one in the middle looks like Kanger to me. The base is from the old TS3. Has the threaded stem and rubber seal looks right. Check if it has the ohms stamped on the base passed the threads and before the rubber seal. Should say 1.8, 2.2, or 2.5.
