Kanger T3 or Vivi Nova

[vernhall]

Am getting really really frustrated with my luck with T3s (hard-draw, gunking up, flooding, etc) and want some input as to people's opinion of the Vivi Nova vs the T3... Is it really 'better' as I've seen some folk comment or is it just personal preference? I have a couple that I haven't tried yet and wondering if it's worth the effort...

Please let me know your opinion of the 'best' tank in this class...

hi vern. if you have them, i reckon you should try them. personally, i have few probs with the T3s, cept for some slurpy noises on occasion. i just clean them or put a new coil on and i am all good. let us know how u like the viva nova if and when u try them. ♥

I'm new to vaping, but I started out by ordering an ego twist, vision spinner, 3 mini nova's and 3 Kanger T3's...thus far all 3 nova's have been perfect on both of my devices....the T3 was great at first, then started to mad gurgle, took it off and it had leaked all over my battery! I'm hesitatnt to try the other T3's I have....enjoying the nova's too much

If you already have some Vivi Nova's, it's certainly worth the effort to try them!

I just received the new iClear 30 tank, and so far, absolutely love it!

No dry hits, holds nearly 3mil of juice, and looks great. Also provides excellent flavor... about as close to dripping as I've ever had with a tank, and I've used numerous tanks!

I previously used Vivi Nova, but while they weren't bad, I eventually moved on to other tanks. If the iClear 30 holds up for a couple of weeks, and continues to perform as it has since yesterday, I think I've found my "go to" clearomizer tank!

Biggest problem right now is finding them in stock! All of the great reviews has pushed demand up beyond what's currently available.

No problems with my vivis, mini or standard. Some of them are even "knock offs" and perform fine.I am also interested in looking into the iClear 30.

Haven't had much luck with my T3's either but the miniNovas with 1.8ohm head (you should use these not the full size Novas if you are using Ego type batteries) have been very reliable for me. Make sure they are genuine Vision Novas though as the copies are often poor.

Part of the fun of our hobby is trying new delivery methods to see what works best for you. I've been vaping over a year and am still trying new stuff.

I have the T3 hate it...
Got the vivi freaking awesome and a nice warm vapor...

Will go for Vivi anyday....
+1 for the Vivi

My mini Nova's have been fabulous. No issues at all, as long as you clean them. I even dry fire pulse a few times to burn junk off head. Works for me. I have an iclear30 as well, haven't used yet. However I've been using my Kanger Bcc evod all morning and love it. So much so I just ordered a blue and stainless one! Great flavor, massive clouds of vapor. I think it's my new go to clearomizer for work. Probably break in the Iclear30 tonight.

Happy vaping!

Have you tried a Evod yet?

I have tried both the T3 and mini viva nova along with the stardust type clearos. I still prefer my little CE3 XL bottom coil clearos. If you don't have to have a big tank you may want to give these a try. No leaks, great flavor and seem to last me forever. I usually have 6 or 7 flavors loaded up at all times so can't really tell you how long a single one will last. Although I can say that I have gone through 30 mls of one my most recent favorite flavors and the CE3 I started it in is still going strong.

At 10.00 for a box of 5 it might be worth the investment to check them out. discountvapers.com has them in stock at the moment as do, I am sure, other places.

I Vape with the Kanger T3 and knock on wood, never had a problem.

One nice feature is that if they ever do gurgle, you just take the clearomizer part out, Blow out through the Plastic tube in direction of mouthpiece, than blow out through the Inyards part from the Bottom [Wide Circular Part] and they are back to new.

I've heard such varying things about Kanger t3, I wonder if it's dependent on Vendor [Authentic Vs Knockoff] or if there was a bad batch.

Kanger has some advantages over the Vivi Nova
1. Bottom Coil means cooler vape, also the particulates in the juice [sediment] isn't left on the bottom like the Top coils. See the top coil will absorbe the lightest molecular density first and leave the heavier at the bottom. So close to the end of a Vivi Nova you have a much darker liquid.
2. When you change the coil on the t3 you change everything except the tank part. With the Vivi you just replace a head. If the tube is out of alignment than you are out of luck and need to replace the whole Viv Nova
3. I find that on the Vivi unscrewing to refill and than rescrewing the Rubber Seal get's out of alignment and I have to fiddle with it to get it to screw in properly.

I like taste and coolness better on the Kanger T3 than Vivi. Hope I don't run into a bad batch.

By the way the trick of blowing it out, tried it on an Evod and didn't work.

Have you tried a Evod yet?

But I thought an Evod is essentially the same as a T3, except it's smaller. But the coil and wick should be the same for both, so why would it be any different?

The coil is a new design,and worked better than the T3s I have.

I have been using a Vivi Nova for quite some time now & I don't have any real technical issues thanks to this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...70-vivi-nova-no-more-burnt-flavor-so-far.html. I will say that no matter what modifications I have done, the nova still has a habit of muting light flavors where a carto will not. I will be ordering the EVOD soon to test out & see if I like it better...from what I hear, I will. I will say that I only use 100% VG juices so the top coil system just isn't the best for them...but if you use a thinner juice, you may not have the muting issue that I do.

All in all, I have gotten my money's worth out of my Vivi Nova & will still use it as a backup with stronger flavors. It isn't a bad tank after all, just not quite what I want.

Newb here, I haven't tried the vivi yet, but I love my kanger mt3! (really just a metal wrapped T3) It is easy to use, and ( I knock on wood here also ) no problems. I just use a syringe to fill it so I don't get any in the center hole. Mine performs the same whether filled to the top of the center pin or getting empty. I always tighten is just barely tight, then shake it, set it down for a minute or two to make sure there will be no leaking. Then when I put it on my ego, I am careful to just barely tighten it. I think over tightening can cause a lot of problems. I love the simplicity of it since I am new. All I have is a plain ego and at the ohm it comes in it produces more vapor than the cartos I started with. Waiting for them to get back in stock since the Chinese New Year is over, and going to try a lower resistance since I only have a fixed voltage device. Since I am a newb I don't even know what my voltage is. Anyone care to enlighten me? All I know is I have a 900mah Ego, I beleive they are Smoktech although they have no name on them. Sorry to get off topic of OP, send me a pm on the voltage please.

not a big fan of the T3, but love the vivi nova and the mini

 

[Mudfinger]

Enjoying my T3, haven't tried the Vivi yet. No issues to report. Certainly a much better setup than the CE4s I was using; more capacity, no leakage, much thicker vapor, and it allows for a faster draw.

The funny thing is that I tried the Evod Yesterday. Set up a friend with equipment and he wanted something shorter than the t3
the Evod is definitely different than the Kanger t3.

I filled it incorrectly, maybe overfilled or got liquid in the tube and it was gurgling.

So I tried doing the trick I do with the Kanger, blowing through the tube and almost all the liquid went out and
than I noticed liquid caught at the crevice at the top.

Anyway my first experience is be very careful when filling and it's a gurgle monster if you fill incorrectly.

When it was empty I blew it all out and I think it worked fine.

Adding my two coppers.

I bought two T3s to try.. both were pretty much an epic disappointment. It's my understanding that it's luck of the draw with the T3s. If you get a good one, it's awesome and the heavens open up and the heavenly choir serenades you while you vape. But if you get a bad one it's really really bad.

Vivi Novas are more consistent.
