Kanger T2 Sunfires. Worth it?

[Fattlestar]

I've read a lot of reviews about the old Kanger T2's. Almost all of the reviews are, well, as old as the clearo is. Are these still worth a buy for cheap backups?

I still use these for on the go/work. They're still a decent clearo. I get my replacement coils at vapingme.com for $2.99 for a 5-pack.

Thanks for the reply TLS01. I was looking for some cheaper clearos with prebuilt replacement coils that were also cheap, and I found that same deal. Someone suggested them as good backups because of the low price of replacement coils and decent vape they provide. Not sure how the T2 will stack up to what I've been using (Nautilus Mini BVC), but if it does vape nice that's a heck of a deal, right?

How long have the actual clearo's lasted for you? (not the coils)

I've gone through a handful (6-7?) of them over the past 18 months, mostly because I dropped two of them, same day while out golfing, on the paved path, on back to back holes, I was miffed, another two of them just plain stopped working, tried swapping coils, still a no-go. If you hot water rinse the coils out when it's time/juice gets dark, they last a decent amount of time (let them dry for about 12-24 hours), I can run anywhere from 20-30ml of juice through them before replacing which is pretty reasonable for the price.

I have yet to try the Nautilus BVC, so I couldn't give you a fair comparison, but they hold their own against a protank 2. I also use a 510-ego adapter, on my ego batts and MVP to loosen the air flow with the T2.

Just to add: When you rinse the coils, just give a little tug on the wick, slowly, to be able to rinse out the "contact" area of the wick and coil, it helps lengthen the life of it.

Great, thanks for all of the info! These seem perfect for my needs (trying lots of different juices without using the expensive BVC coils up on them). I'll grab a couple and a bunch of coils.
