Okay, I'm loving the t3 so far. Flavor is great and throat hit is awesome.

I'm not quite sure on how to dry burn it though. After taking it apart and removing the flavor wicks, do I have to pull the actual wick out to perform the dry burn? I've tried that and it was impossible to pull the wick back in.

Also, how should I alternate flavors? I tried to just switch juices from cinnamon roll to tobacco, but no matter what I did, the cinnamon roll flavor never left the wick. I've heard soaking the coil in PGA will help, so should I try that?

I soak my T3 in alcohol (vodka, grain, 151) for a few hours, remove the wicks, do a dry burn, then replace the wicks with cotton. The easiest way I found to get the wick back through the coil is to take a piece of cotton ball (make sure its 100% cotton) stretch it out then twist it into a long wick. I then use a twistie (wire with a plastic or paper coating that they use to secure cables and such for shipping) strip the plastic off, and bend the end into a little hook which will fit through the coil. I then slid it through the coil an use it to gently pull the cotton through the coil. Then clip the ends off to the same length as the original wick, and add some to replace the wicks outside the coil. Gives you nice, fresh wicking with no taste of the last juice used.

So you rewick it entirely? Is it possible to dry burn it with the wick still on?

You can, I do that with the Stardust's I use, but the wick will seems to start having off flavor and not working as well after a few cleaning cycles. I find it easy enough to rewick the T3's that I do it every cleaning.

Also, I found it helps greatly with the Kanger T3 if you take the center post above the wick off and if yours has it, mine did atleast, remove the wicks that are just laying on top not attached to anything. I did that with my Kanger T3 and it's rockin' like a champ now, totally keeping up with my vaping. Oh, and I plugged one of the three intake holes but thinking the draw is way too loose might just be a me thing.

Just change the base and soak the used base in water over night. Modding a T3 don't work for me so i just leave it alone. Taking out the flavour wicks makes it spit.
To me theres only one adjustment i make. If the thing leaks then i adjust the rubber ring just below the wicks by sliding it up to meet them. That's all i've got.
