I really just don't get why something that just WORKS hasn't come out yet. I mean, electronic cigarettes and clearomizers have been around for some time... you'd think someone would have at least semi-perfected one by now, at least long enough till the coil or whatever burns out and need to be replaced, but all this gurgling and flooding is so annoying! Part of me thinks they are made bad on purpose so people have to keep buying them and keep looking for the next best thing, and then keep buying those.
I agree - I think about that as well. Even if it were noticeably more expensive, you'd think there would be a 'no hassle, no surprises, no maintenance, guaranteed 1 months usage with no issues' clearomizer out on the market by now.
That said, I think the problems are really about tolerances and QC more than great design (not to say there isn't vast room for improvement too). For instance, the Kanger T3 works great for quite a bunch of folks with no issues, no off flavors, no modding, etc. Just open the package, fill, and you're good for 2-3 weeks. They just need the ability to have better QC and tighter tolerances so those 'magic T3s' are a much greater percentage of the product than they appear to be now.
FWIW - 3 days, 3 refills, new 3-hole T3... no leaking, no gurgling, no off flavors, no burnt flavor, no dry hits. We'll see how it goes; I've got a few more, and odds are that I will have an issue with one of them, but I'm hoping I won't.
