Its hard to believe people have ones that don't leak,There must be maybe 1 out of 10 that don't.But I haven't had the lucky one.I only use them on my Ego Twist and never on my vamo,and I take it off the battery at night and wherever I place it there is leakage,and I'm very careful with my gear.and they leak right away soon after first usage.I love/hate you Kanger T3 but I need a dry mini nova.

Wow! Sorry to hear your troubles. I use a z-max 2. Never had a leak yet. Bought my first 2 from Stormy's and the rest came directly from Kanger. FWIW try using a adapter. I have to use one on my zmax2. Maybe that is the difference. However, I just gave my bro & SIL twists and new kangers. They are fresh newbies 1 week or so in. They are not having any problems...Have you tried adjusting the kanger.

If you look at the bottom of the tank it can be adjusted to fit better. Use a flat phillips fatty. :)

I have 8 of them, none of them leak, they do gurgle when they get low, I find the 50/50 ejuice works well in them, also sometime using the right voltage improves performace, you may want to try fluffing the wick. My Dad complained of one that was leaking real bad, somehow the rubber seal over the tube fell out. Here's a good video on leaking T3s

I haven't had any problems either. I do notice though if I try to use too low of a voltage it will leak a little. I just rinse mine off after I use them and let them air dry. They do gurgle when its really low though. You would think it being bottom fed you could use all of the juice.

Lately I've been vaping mine beyond the gurgling point. Keep vaping or blow it out a little and you'll find you can almost vape it dry.

I just got four of these a few days ago, and have been using them all in rotation with different juices. Most of my juice is 80/20 pg/vg with one 65/35 pg/vg juice. Two of mine work great, one gets a gurgle but that's it, just a gurgle and no leaking.

BUT one of them, the one I used with the 65/35 juice was getting really dry hits at the beginning, I looked it up and saw a youtube vid of someone pulling out one of the "flavor wicks" so I tried to do that. First, don't attempt this when the wicks have juice on them, they disintegrate. So I have no idea how much wick I removed, now the thing leaks like crazy. I'll have to get some wick to replace what I pulled out or just toss the head and use a new one. Nothing like warm e-liquid in your mouth...

I had to pull the pin down to make contact with one of my eGo batts but other than that I haven't had an issue whatsoever with the T3s or MT3s that I've had for 3 months. However, I blew out my first 808-threaded CE3 by screwing it down too tight on a 901 batt (pushed the pin so high it dislodged the gasket) and could never get it to hold juice again. Great thing about a problem that's been troubleshot correctly, easy to avoid making the same mistake twice.

I have 2 of these, and both have developed leaking issues recently. Had them for almost a month now. One is still on the original head. The other nI re-wicked/coiled about 2 days after I got it, to have lower ohms and work better on my 650mah ego. Both had no issues till this past weekend. Out of the blue, the on I rewicked/coiled started leaking, not just a lil gurgle and some juice in my mouth, I'm talking, it leaked out ALL the juice all over me, and my batt. So I pulled it apart, and l;et it air dry for a few days.
The other did the EXACT same thing, the very next day... just out of the blue.. I did nothing different to them?
So today.. I put the one I re-wicked/coild back together, and.. It hasnt leaked yet, but I'm getting some serious gurgling, and very little vapor?? Guess I'm gonna have to re-wick/coil them again, and see if that helps. Could just be the wick is deteriorating, and allowing juice thru I guess? Getting tired of them tho... My vivi's have NEVER leaked a drop, and I would prefer having to tilt-a-whirl my nova than deal with leaking...

Funny thing is my t3 is working really good on this coil I made. I have had it for about 2 months at first i had a lot of
Leaking problems. it took a lot of work, i thought it never work as good as it does now took me a few tries to get the wick and coil just right. My 2 t2s are worse they randomly leak a lot. And now I prefer the t3
