I recently purchased some Kanger T3's and they were good at first, excellent actually. I've only used one out of five, but now I'm getting juice in my mouth. Anyone else have this experience or know what I can do to fix it? When it does happen I've noticed it does make a gurgling noise.

Was this shortly after filling?

Is your little rubber ring on the atomizer post flipped?

I have never had a problem with gurgling or juice mouth from the K3. I had some dry hits but that was remedied quickly by flipping that little ring.

How thin was your juice. It's possible that your flavor wick is worn out and allowing juice to seep in. The flavor wicks wear out on these before anything else. How long have you been using this particular head? If you've been using it for more than a couple weeks, it's probably time to rebuild it or replace it.

Just a few suggestions :)

I've had this problem when my battery is close to running out its charge. What's your set up like? If you're using a VV perhaps you have the volts set too low, or your battery is losing power. Otherwise this thread has an overload of info if you're up for the challenge: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/clearomizers/337585-anyone-try-new-kanger-t3-yet.html

Been using it on my Provari set to 4.3 volts. It is a 2.5 ohm T3. It hasn't done it in a while, maybe it just had something to do with breaking it in a bit, I don't know. If it stays working right and the life of it is decent I think this will be my favorite for vaping. I like cartos and tanks too, but this is much less of a hassle.

I've been using T3's for over a month now, and the only time I tasted juice was when I accidently got a few drops in the draw tube while filling. It took several draws before it made it's way through the mouthpiece, and no I did not like it. The gurgling sound is almost always attributed to the small white seal ring that sits atop the coil and mates with the bottom of the drawtube. If you've turned this upside down (some say it improves the draw) or the seal is out of place you will get a gurgling sound. Just my experience, hope you figure out what's going on with yours.

I had some leaking from the mouthpiece of the T3 when I was going to add more liquid. This happened for the 1st refill. The level was down to about 0.8ml. I turned it upside down and unscrewed the bottom. Liquid started dripping out of the tip. I emptied all the liquid, shook it out, blew lightly through the mouthpiece until it seemed clear, checked the bottom area, shook that as well and wiped the tube lightly and the threaded side as well. Put some liquid back in and got gurgling. I just emptied it out again and washed it. Have not used it again yet. Any idea why this happened on refilling?

I got my second and third one in today and immediately put them to use. The only thing that i noticed with them is a little gurgling here and there and it goes away after a few seconds. I use a 50/50 juice and it feeds fine. I did notice a little bit of muted flavor on the second tank thru one tho, but not as bad as a stock vivi. Will prolly be ordering a few more just in case.

I have this happen with the CE4(? stardust) clearos. It's condensation of the vapor that slowly accumulates and has nowhere to go. It's a prblem with the top coil since you tend to have to hold it horizontally of tilted so that juice tends to run into your mouth. I'm guessing since the T3 is bottom coil, most people are keeping it tilted up and not having this problem. Also the vapor travels further and cools off more in the T3, meaning more vapor will condense before you get it in your mouth.

I have a few things I've tried in general with the stardusts, but I often have to roll a piece of paper towel into a point and dry off the mouthpiece to avoid licking juice.

1. I try to release the button and pull vapor to clear it and not leave vapor in the head. If you look into the mouthpiece after you vape and see it's filled with vapor, all that vapor will condense and eventually try to go into your mouth or leak onto your PV.

2. I've experimented with cutting a small piece of paper towel rolling it up and inserting it into the mouthpiece when I fill the clearo. I haven't gotten a T3 yet, so I don't know if it can be done as easily, but with the stardust I cut a piece about 1.25" long and .75" high, roll it around something so it's like a tube, and insert it into the mouthpiece. This way the paper towel soaks up the condensation. Generally these things last for the duration of the tank. The problem is if they can't keep up then you have to fish the thing out and wipe down the inside, which can be a PITA when you're out and about.

I been having some trouble with them, ie dry hits, flooding. Been all over the posts about the t3 and seems that there is a people on both sides of the fence on this issue. I have a couple that work excellant and then a couple that are just tempermental. If this issue could be rectified it would be a great device for me.
