Thinking about trying it out. I have the mini protank 2, but I haven't been impressed with it.
How would the T3S compare to it?
BTW, I have an iclear16 and mini vivi nova as well. So far, I'm liking the nova the best.
Ultimately, I guess I'm on a quest to find the best tank/clearo. :)

I have 5 t3s and 1 mini protank, they are about the same to me since the heads are almost the same, well other than the mini pro tank2 being glass

With minor modifications, I've come to enjoy the T3S. I use cotton for rewicking. I leave the flavor wicks on (albeit in cotton form), and this reduces gurgling. However, once below 1ml, hard to predict when it'll flood. When it does, I blow out the excess juice, and leave it on its side. Vapes well the rest of the tank.

I'm going to continue using them.

Another T3S cotton user :D I love the performance of the T3S with cotton, even without it's still pretty decent.

I've got mixed feelings about it...

Draw is too airy for me, but covering a hole with some scotch tape helps. Gotta try something more permenant

If I fill it almost all the way to the top of the center post/3ml line, I get very little flavor and vapor until I get to approx 2.4 ml

Under about 1ml I get gurgling

But between 2.4ml and 1ml with one hole covered, I've got no realistic complaints.

I get tired and go to my Protank and mini Protank. If they made a medium Protank in say 2ml and slim, it would be game over for eGo clearo shopping for me. 'Till then, the search continues.

Just picked up a MT3s at my local shop.

First impressions are good, albeit a little airy for me, which I can get used to I guess. Flavor is wonderful, especially with Vapure's Manic melon.

T3s users, does your base get really hot after vaping for a bit? It freaked me out and I took the tank off my battery and set it aside.

Is that normal? If it is I don't really mind. Except the heat bothers my finger a bit. I hope this won't be too bad as I have 5 T3s's in the mail soon.
:(

I really wish I could give the T3S a good review, but I've had too many problems with mine. If it's not an airy draw, it's gurgling or flooding. I've never been able to get it to work right regardless of the tightness of pieces, the ohm of the atty, and power coming from the battery, the level of liquid...I'm going to try re-wicking with cheesecloth and if that doesn't work I'm done with it.
The EVOD on the other hand, has worked perfectly since my first recoil.
I just wish I could find a good clearo with a huge tank so that I could vape away while home and not have to refill it so often.

I like my 2 T3s tanks quite a bit. I also have a Mini PT 2 and an EVOD. Sometimes I think the draw is a bit airy, but I cover a hole with my finger and it is better. I have one that I've changed the coil in once or twice, but have filled with the same juice, and it locked in for me last week. Draw isn't as airy, lots of vapor, just hitting the perfect conditions. I have to remind myself not to cover a hole now.

I've had a gurgle here or there, but have not noticed it nearly as much as others around here. I've got no experience with higher-end stuff, but I would not hesitate to recommend the T3s to a fellow vapor.

I have five T3S's with different liquids that I rotate through the day and I really like them. I also like that they come in different colors so that I can keep track of which liquid is in which. I haven't had any problems with leaking or flooding but I do prefer the 2.2 ohm resistance atomizer head. I haven't bothered to replace the wick when needed. For now, I've just replaced them and put the old ones in a baggy. Maybe someday I'll pull out the baggy and rebuild them all...or maybe not.

Best is highly subjective.

While I like my T3S lineup, along with my PT, Aro, and Davides, they're all bottom coil, with the pros and cons of that arrangement.

You say that you like the Nova best, of what you have, so maybe you just like the draw and temperature of top coil clearos?

I got my first T3S yesterday. Was performing great at first. But then for a stretch, I was getting very little vapor, very thin and little taste. I unscrewed it and rescrewed it several times, then (seemingly at random), the vapor was back again. Don't know what that was all about, but will keep experimenting.

Also, coming from the CE4, I've learned to pay attention to what you're unscrewing! A lap full of ejuice teaches that lesson pretty quickly.

Still using them.

Cotton wicks bring them alive. I let the cotton soak overnight before using, then slowly bring up the volts (beginning at 3.3). I usually settle in around 4.0 - 4.1 volts on the 1.8 ohm head. After a few tanks, when the wicks really become saturated, these things rock.

Under 1ml, it'll pick a time to gurgle. I can usually clear it out and vape the rest.

I find that they mute the flavor of tobaccos, yet work REALLY well with simple fruit flavors. I have one for tobaccos (Halo Turkish, Torque, and Voodoo), and one for fruit (Top Vapor Grape, Strawberry, and Island Punch). I can't taste the subtle flavors of the Halo juices, like I can in my Vision V3s. But they make cheaper juices taste really good, which isn't a bad thing. I've just been burning through Mad Vape juices, which are only $13 for 50ml. Swap out the wicks for cotton, load up some Top Vapor Strawberry....it's awesome. Clouds of vapor and TH at 11 mg.

Downside, the coils don't hold up well for multiple re-wickings. Not sure why. Best guess is since the bottom of the coil...one of the posts...rests on the battery, sometimes it gets nudged when putting the clearo on the battery. I'm careful, but after one or two weeks of removing the clearo to refill, the coil is out of wack and doesn't like to straighten out. So I've been getting about a month out of a coil, with two or three re-wickings. Not too bad, but some of my Vision V3 coils are almost a year old haha
