I ordered three Kanger T3s, and they've been quite reliable to me. They produce great vapor, TH, and hold up to 3ml liquid.

It's important to unscrew the unit off the battery/mod tube via the RING that screws into the T3. If you try to unscrew the T3 via the plastic tank, you risk unscrewing the base from the T3, causing leaking or flooding. This is clearly stated in the instructions they send. Follow this rule, and keep the base screwed on fairly tightly, and from my experience you won't have problems.

From what I have been reading, they both have their pro's and con's. Although, the inconsistency of peoples opinions does point towards potentially bad QC for both. Some have wonderful experiences while others have a leaky, dry hitting, burnt nightmare.

I ordered one of each to try with my new 1000mah twist.

I'm leaning more towards the Vivi Nova. I find that Vivi's have a better draw, and better vapor. While I will admit the T3's flavor is slightly better... I've had them leak, spit juice in my mouth, gurgle and some heads have such an airy draw, even when a hole is covered. Never had a single problem with the mini vivi nova. I like the look of the T3 better, but the performance of the nova is what wins my vote.

Been a Vivi Nova Fan but switched to the T3.

I like the flavor better. I also like the design.
Bottom Coil is cooler. Replacement is of the inyards about 3/4 of the unit. The Vivi just replaces the head and when the post is out of alignment than it's problematic.

If I have one complaint with Kangers t3 it's that it does tend to crackle a little, but since there are no dry hits and no sputtering or leaking juice I can live with it.

Might be a problem stealth vaping in the movie theater. Sigh...

I got a T3, and it tasted terrible. I even bought one of each of the resistances, and that didn't help. After about a day or two, they did get mildly better. The Vivi Nova, after a few hits, I was impressed! Which shocked me, because I was never a clearo person. I found a site where I can get 5 replacement heads for less than $10, and they are on the way.

I frequently use both the Kanger and ViVi. I am a HUGE Kanger fan. I have never NEVER had a kanger leak on me. if you do get that boiling gurgle remove the wick and blow through your tube and it clears it right up. I have never gotten a dry hit from the kanger. but I use a ViVi for capacity and cosmetics lets face it the vivi just looks nice with a metal barrel on a Zmax.

i am a T3 fanboi,,i been using them since november and have yet to have any leaking issues,but i get mine from Kanger,so i guess that is where the difference is ??

i did get a condensation gurgle but that was an easy fix,,i just cut off the airtube on the head

i tried two different versions of the vivi novas and hated both,,just couldn't get away from the dry hits with 80% pg juice regardless

I just recently tried the kanger T3s. Great vape. Love vivi tanks too.
But whats cool about kangers is you can switch the juice pretty easily.
I just put about 1ml in at a time and I can switch my flavors throughout the day.
But, I'm going back to vivis eventually. I like both. Vivis def give a stronger hit.
With kangers I like to add a couple drops of stronger nicotine to the juice to improve throat hit.
Which can sometimes make me feel a little over nicked. But yeah, both are great.

From what I've seen and read, these Kanger T3's are giving much more flavor than the Vivi. What I'm reallylooking for is you're opinions on tanks vs. clearomizers in general.
GO!

I have both and prefer the Vivi Nova. The Kanger T3's give a little more flavor, but it is a cooler vape. I prefer the warmer vape I get with a Vivi Nova.

I enjoy the Kanger T3, but I'm having problems with the latest batch of attys I ordered for it. They're not priming well and I'm getting a lot of burnt hits even with a full tube.

I had this issue with replacement atttys as well. Seems to me there is more wicking in them. Solved the problem by taking some material out of the top wick.

Ive only been vaping just short of 4 months. Never tried a Vivi Nova but will very soon. Im very interested. Ive been using t3's for 3 weeks and love them. Most of the reason i havent gotten a VN yet probably. Nothing bad to say about the t3's. little gurgling when its getting low. Other than that. Great taste. Nice vapor and TH. the 2.4 ohm heads handle 6volts of heavy chain vaping at times. No loss yet.
