Kanger MT3 leaking?

[ITGeeK]

I wasn't exactly sure where this should go so if it needs to be moved i understand.

So recently i purchased two Kanger MT3 clearomizers, first ones after had been using cartridges. But they seem to be leaking a bit, is this normal? I seem to get a bit up in the mouthpiece tip and then the terminal where the 510 threading is also seems to accumulate some juice over time.

Without a fine tipped bottle or a blunt tipped syringe, it's easy to get a little juice down the central tube when filling. That could accoount for both of the issues you mention. If that happens to me (and I notice it before putting the head back on), I just run a pipe cleaner through the air tube, then reassemble.

Otherwise, take it off the battery, upend it so the coil is out of the juice, and blow gently through from the battery end to clear it.

If you have a Variable Voltage battery I find that bumping up the voltage a little helps to vaporize more of the juice that makes it into the wick area. If not sometimes removing the center post and rearranging the loose "flavor wicks" helps a little with overwicking(gurgling)/leaking issues. These t3 heads can be a pain to keep working right sometimes.

Yeah I'm a little frustrated, I've had juice in it for about 5-6 days now and it just started coming through the tip. I'm wondering if i bent it just enough while in my pocket to cause this or something. Now I'm interested in finding something that might be a bit better and not leak like this.

If you want something that just works reliably you should look at getting a nice carto tank. Once you get them set up properly there is probably nothing that is as reliable and hassle free.

If you look around, you'll find Plenty of threads on here about the T3s/MT3s leaking. I loved mine when I first got it...until it started leaking with just about every tank. People say by making sure it doesn't get below 1/3 full will keep it from leaking...not for me! Mine can be 3/4 full and still leak all over my Battery or in my mouth. I really like them though, so hate to throw them out. I've tried everything from rewicking, to taking out flavor wicks, adding more flavor wicks..nothing seems to help.

The Kanger Evods are really good, so far for me though...a bit small..but other than that, love them! And they are cheap!!

Bought a Mini Nova and a T3 at the same time because at the time it seemed the forum was split about even on which was "better"
Alternated between them over about a week and in that week the T3 gurgled and leaked regardless of all the tweaks suggested while the mNova worked like a champ(and still does ~5 months later)

That's just me tho, others have had differing experiences

I second this word for word!
I tried every thing under the sun to make T3's work to no avail.
When they worked, they were awesome.
And I, like you, found the EVOD and have been vaping one a couple of them for the past few weeks now.
Not only is there no leaking, but there is no gurgle.
That was usually my clue that the juice was about to invade my mouth and throat.
lol
I know this doesn't help you with your leaking issue, OP, but when it comes to replacement...give the EVOD a try.
Good luck!

Sounds like i will be looking into that. I'm also thinking from some other read that part of my issue may be that I'm using a dark juice in it and people say to use a glass clearo or tank. But, I'm having a hard time determining whats glass or plastic. every time i look at sites such as fasttech its not very clear.

when don't the MT3's leak? lol

I hate those things with a passion

I'm wondering if you have one of the newer T3s, the ones with the replaceable heads as opposed to the older ones that have to have the whole base replaced. I have the older ones, but with the Evods there have been a few times that the head comes unscrewed a bit (probably from me refilling and not noticing it) and it will start to do what you're describing, leaking up and down. Worth a check maybe. If not, I don't know. Barring user error (mine) I haven't had issues.

 

[ITGeeK]

No i have the MT3 where just the base screws out the mouthpiece is fixed. still very annoying considering just buying an MVP with the 16's the MT3 as it is lasts me like 6-7 days.
