I've been using a Kanger T0 for about 2 weeks now. I like the bottom coil vape and get tons of vapor so that's a good thing and I like not needing a syringe to fill it. I don't like that I always get a drop or 2 of juice leak out of the bottom when filling and if I have to hold the plunger down too long the plunger hurts my finger. (That could just be because I need to enlarge the hole in the juice bottle for a faster fill.) Over all I do like using it - however - does anyone have any idea how to clean it? I'm getting a burnt taste that I think will clear up if I could just clean it and give it a few dry burns, but I can't find anything about cleaning them. It can be filled with water by holding the plunger down, but it's impossible to get enough of the water out of it. I know they're not that expensive, but it just feels like I could get a lot more mileage out of them if I could clean it. Anybody have any ideas?

Lol. Man I keep trying different options but keep coming back to the CE3's. I had one last night empty all over my ego twist. I hope it was a fluke because these things are the shiznit. Anywho starting to like my Thor and Vision a bit more than original. I guess being used to the CE3 and not putting so much effort into getting a lot of vape made those others a bit to get used too.

Had that happen to me the other day after filling a CE3- all the juice started seeping out the battery end.
I filled it upside down like I have always done, so I don't know why it decided to do a juice dump.
I emptied what was left of the juice and did a refill and it worked fine.
I just haven't tried anything that vapes like the CE3. I've been tempted to try the Thor but I'm worried about muted flavor and other issues b/c it reminds me of the old Stardust which I hated.

Yeah..I keep going back too. I just dislike the upside down syringe filling. It's a hack, not a good way for end users in the long run. The new Tidy clearos seem to solve the issue in a different than the K0, so I want to try those too. Plus, they make them in a 1ml version, which I think will help with warming the vape up a bit. I just can't seem to find who's selling the updated versions. The old ones apparently work like the CE3s.

CE3's are my #1. I don't mind the syring filling since I vape at home mainly. Though I do get some snide remarks
from family members about the syringes lying on my desk. lol I was thinking yesterday how it is going to be trying to fly with syringes, juice bottles and all the gear needed for my ecigs. I am going to have to take a flight in the near future. Will this cause problems getting my luggage through security I wonder?

Depends on if you carry on or check in. Me personally I would check in with that syringe stuff. U wouldn't want them taking my syringes leaving me with hunting down one to fill my clears. CE3's kick ...!

I was a little on the fence with the Thor but I have to say that I have been using them for 2 says now and an learning to love them. Solidly built and vapes great. Easy to fill and use. And replaceable heads?!?! It's a no brainer. But I do have 3 boxes of CE3's and will always love them. Until something better comes out which they will be hard to beat.

The only CE3s I have lost both did juice dumps. They were unsalvagable after that, even though I tried. I just looked up the Tidy clearomizers that KDude mentioned. They look interesting. I will have to try them when they become available.

ty for the reply. I was thinking checked luggage would be the best option. Hopefully there won't be any problems.
How is the flavor for you with the Thor, compared to the CE3?

I haven't been thrilled with the T0. Lots of vapor, but the flavor isn't as pronounced as on the CE3. Definitely good overall. Better than CE4s for sure, but I still prefer the vivi nova. Going to test the T2s next.

let us know what you think of the T2's HillGiant.

Cut one of the white "mouthpiece" ends off of a 510 carto to fit under your drip tip on the CE3. Press the non-cut side firmly against the silicone plug in there. I do this when any of my CE3's decide to do the dump and it's solved it pretty much 100%. I think the syringe hole will decide to break the vacuum in the clearo which causes the dump - covering the hole eliminates that.

You can also use the little clear mouthpiece that comes with the CE3 and cut the tapered end off too. Just anything to sit in there and cover the syringe port, really.

Can't wait to try the Thor either!

Kanger T2's are not very well built. I have had 2 break on me. Thready on mouth piece broke. And another one leaked from the bottom seal. The Thor's or Vision's are def built way better and more solid. And the center post on the T2's were not centered. But that's just my OCD. I will say that the vapor production and flavor were great. Just cheap I though. Oh and u didn't drop the T2 it kinda just fell apart. If I were you I'd save your money on that one.

Have you washed them? Do you remove the tube for washing? I found that CE3 when you remove the tube don't fit as well afterwards. Don't remove the tube.

Sorry for the delay. Yes I take the whole thing apart. Just to dab out the primer fluid. I have never had any issues with leaking or anything. I have had 1 leak but I think it was defective cause it completely emptied itself. And I didn't clean that one cause the primer was minimal. I find that the 3rd fill is when they start to really shine. Love the flavor on these. I just actually filled one last week and been vaping Halo TriBeCa (YUM). But I have one of those going. A vivi nova and 2 DCT single coil 3ohm carto tanks. Blazing!!!!
 
Does the 3ml version have 510 threads or ego threads in the skirt?
I like trying new items also, but one thing I did the other day was break out the wifes old 808 auto kit. Wow, I had to teach myself all over. Slow and long drags, I think I have gotten spoiled as some devices just deliver, but I didn't notice it until I tried the old kit out.

If the T0 combines the ease of filling of the eGo Vision with the great vape of CE3's I'll gladly sign up for a ton. Nowadays I'm using the 3.3 ml version and they vape even better than the smaller ones, with only one caveat: it sometimes doesn't thread well into my eGo Twist batt.

Ego threads, but there are adapters for 510. Great vape for the buck!

I don't know exactly why, but the 808 was so good! I vaped them for a couple of months back in 2010 until I ran out of supplies and money and went back to smoking. Once the condom method was developed, you could fill 10 carts in a few minutes. Batts were inexpensive, although didn't last long. A great e-cig, now I think there are better things, but back then it was a great leap forward!

Ok, so coming back to this thread... I haven't been using any of the clearos I got at this point. The CE3s, while good, did dump my juices and leak a few times. Also, there are some blah juices inside that I'd rather not finish and don't know how to get rid of it.

The Kanger T2, although nice and smooth, it does seem to lack a throat hit and the flavor does seem to be muted. As for the T0, seems to hit well, but I keep getting this nasty plastic taste. I don't know if it's the juice or what but the taste isn't going away even after refilling. Ugh!! What's next? Should I try the Thors? I'm getting tired of all these clearos crapping out.
