thats the thing.. ive been through two heads and everythings nicce and tight.. its only when its gets really low.. its not leaking when its full. but when its 3/4 down i get liquid in my mouth
Yeah, unfortunately T3 coils are pretty hit or miss. When you get a good one though it is hands down the best clearo vape IMO. You just have to go through a much higher percentage of bum coils to get there.
The T3's normally overwick. Put a tissue on the drip tip and throw the juice toward it to clear out the coil and center post.
i think im gonna stick with dripping and use these at work when i have to drive long distances.. in my short experiance with clearos ive found that here all inconsistent.. 
ive heard the tend to leak when juice is getting low...try this How To: Fix your leaking Kanger T3! - YouTube
good luck. ive purchased 4 t3's,2 of the regular and two of the shielded tanks, and a pack of 5 heads. all of them leaked except the one my wife had, and the glue that held the top of the tank(mouthpiece) let loose after about 3 weeks and died. ive even tried rebuilding the heads myself, but you either get overwicking which leads to leaking or underwicking when you put too much wick and get dry hits. i hate to be the bearer of bad news, and maybe some have had luck with theirs, but mine sucked. on a better kanger note, my kanger pro tank has been excellent, absolutely no leaking, great build quality, pyrex tank, ad great wicking ability.
couple of things i do... if it starts to leak from the bottom, remove it from your mod, turn it upside down and blow from the bottom side. when i rebuiled the heads, i wrap the coil around a 3mm wick and place a 1.5mm wick on top of it.... however.. the blowing trick usually works for me... just in my experience

I've been disappointed with my T3's too. Leakage and very gurgly. I haven't changed out atomizer heads yet. I guess that's my next move. If I can't get them squared away soon I think I'll give up on them and move on.
Kanger just discontinued the 'old' T3 and redesigned it. The 'new' T3 is amazing, like its cousin the EVOD, it now has the same coil and base type as the EVOD. This design is AMAZING as far as tanks are concerned. 95% of the coils are perfect. You will still have the few that will just leak and act crazy, but for the most part, they are amazing. If you need good tanks, go with the NEW T3S, NEW MT3S, or EVOD.

Just to be clear, the EVOD is still my favorite. With the 2.4 coil, the EVOD battery is 4.2v, I can crank that thing up and get some great vapor on my Tesla. You just have to be sure not to overtighten it on your Tesla or any other APV that hides the ego threads or you run the risk of getting your base stuck and leaking your juice into the body.
whats the difference between the t3s and evod. they look the same LOL
Honestly... the texture of the base and the size of the tank lol. The T3S is all plastic with ml marking on the plastic. The MT3S is a metal wrapped T3S. It's more stylish I guess but also a little more sturdy because of the metal wrap. The EVOD is a smaller tank. It is metal wrapped and looks great on 650mah batteries and the EVOD battery. The T3S series has a diamond textured base and the EVOD has a smooth base. It just depends upon what you like better and what battery you have I guess.
few things that may be happening.
Thin e-liquid
Missing or mis-aligned flavor wicks
Low use flooding
Drawing to hard
I have 1/3 dozen T3 and 10 T3-mini - never get juice and only once got a gurgle.
Left sitting, they can over wick - Blow out into paper towel before use.
Keep topped up if possible
Store upside down if filled
Lighten and lengthen draw to decrease suction effect
If needed, remove coil pipe and add a thin piece of rolled cotton to increase wick thickness.(not recommended) Caution may cause dry hits.

I bought 5 T3s and all leaked,gurgled, got juice in the mouth even after taking out the extra wicks. I even rebuilt the coils but all failed. Then I bought 2 Evod,both worked well except some gurgling. Then I put the Evod coil and base in T3. Wow,everyone of them work very well.No leaking and no gurgling. Now you get great bcc with larger capacity than Evod. So glad I did not throw away my T3.
There's definitely a learning curve with the T3. That said, there's been a change implemented and the T3 has been upgraded to T3S. It has a similar ego threaded base, but the coil is separate like the Evod and Protank and it screws into the base. I just got my new bases and heads on Thursday and all is working better than ever.
Some things that may help you, I know they helped me:
Make sure the SS pin is firmly in place in the insulator.
At the first sign of overwicking pull the center post and readjust the flavor wicks so they lay side by side. If you have glass wick you can replace the flavor wicks too. Also, many peeps recommend cotton wicks using 100% cotton balls.
Wash the clearo between fills with hot water, especially if you're vaping dark or sweet juice.
If you're using a fixed voltage battery @ 3.3 or 3.7 volts consider building a lower ohm coil for the T3. I've had many replacement bases that ohm out at over 3 ohms, some approaching 4 ohms (quality control ???). The fixed voltage batteries even at 3.7v will have difficulty properly vaporizing your juice and it can cause the coil to gunk up and a lot of things can happen from there that will make you want to smash the clearo with a sledgehammer.
I really like the T3S and have 2 for my alternate flavors in addition to a Protank as my main delivery device. They're definitely a little bit of regular maintenance and not like some top coil clearos that are pretty much fill and vape until they die. Hope this helps a little. If not it helped my typing practice
