Kanger MT3 Problems

[STU1690]

today my mt3 started leaking from the clear slits on the side and the mouthpiece. not sure what has happened to it. I have lost half the liquid from my last fill up this morning. the vapour is also very poor.


2-3 days old. would have thought these things lasted longer than that.

sounds like you used a juice that melted the polycarbonate plastic inside the metal tube. Check out this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ices-flavors-crack-tanks-ce2s-clearos-36.html

Do you mean your tank has cracked??? I'm not sure what you mean by slits on the side.

I have been having problems with almost every t3 I own. I have 4 filled that leak out the bottom! Some faster than others. They work good for a day or so, I am wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I'm very frustrated with these at the moment, my pro is starting to gurgle now as well. I am new to all this so it could be user error...

With the MT3 it has a metal sleeve on the outside with two slits to show the level of juice kind of like the evod tanks i think. If i rub my finger over one of the slits i can feel juice coming from it. As the tank is mostly covered by the metal tube i can't tell if it has cracked.

I was using the hs menthol juice from vape escape here in the uk in the MT3

Sorry, I've never used the MT3, but I do use an eVod. Some condensation around that window and in the mouthpiece is normal. If it bothers you, just grab a tissue and wipe it clean. A leak is a different story altogether.

There are two things you need to know abot those tanks. 1) If you don't fully screw the body of the T3 onto the knurled part, you'll get leaks--that connection has to be tight. 2) On the other hand, screwing the knurled part onto the battery shouldn't be too tight, just enough to make contact. If you overtighten, you may raise the center post and your juice will leak. You also have to make sure the thread seal stays above the threading and the other seals are in place but it's just 'eyeing' them mostly.

I cracked a Kanger T3 with a menthol juice in about the same time.

I have an MT3, and I am guessing that the plastic part of tank has been damaged. I can't say whether the menthol juice your using is the culprit, or something else caused the damage. I've only had mine about a week and a half, but no leakage at all.

If you have had problems with the same juice damaging other clearos, then I would say the juice is probably the culprit. You could try the Kanger ProTank, it is glass. Sorry about your MT3.

 

[STU1690]

Ok thanks guys. Looks like it's going in the bin as i am not going to waste more juice trying to find out what is wrong with it.

The ProTank is not available in any shops in the UK from what i have looked at. Are there any other glass tanks out there at the moment? I don't want to be wasting cash on crappy clearos/tanks that are going to fail so quickly.

You could try to get a Vivi Nova with the all aluminum tank, not the SVT, but the solid aluminum. That should stand up to just about anything, the downside is you can't see your juice level. You could also try to find a polypropylene carto tank, they are supposed to be more resistant to damage than polycarbonate. I have a smoktech dct tank that is Polypro, you have to check the description, if it doesn't say it is polypro, it is probably polycarbonate. Good luck, hope you find something. Sorry I can't be of more help, not up with the vendors and what they carry in the U.K.

Only carto tanks and RBAs come in glass. ProTank is the only ready-to-wear glass tank.

That said, I've been using my Kanger clearomizers for a while and never had an issue. I know it's not helping you ATM. So sorry.
