kanger ts3 vs mt3 for beginner - looking for better tank.

[inkb0n3s]

hello everyone!

so i am a new vaper - i've been vaping with friends for about a year and a half, and finally got one.

it's the basic 1300 mAh ego winder with the standard clearomizer tank. i keep the volts (?) at around 3.2 to 3.6, using 18mg of nicotine... i don't know what the juice base is, sorry.

i've been looking at getting a new tank or two, and i found that the kanger ts3, mt3 are both recommended. HOWEVER, i was also thinking about the smoktech tumbler, or the iclear 30s. i know that ecf user hawaiiVPR swears by the iclear 30s, but i'm not sure if i want to spend all that dough on a tank i may or may not replace.

i want something that is easy, hassle free, and durable (as in long life without having to rebuild) and also cheaper...

maybe i'm being too picky, but these are all available to me at a local b&m - i do not want to order online, which probably will change if i get a cc.

any and all input is appreciated! thanks very much

When I started vaping I used the T3S. Had no issues with it. I also use the smoktech tumbler and personally like it better. The Tumbler has a more airy draw than the T3S, or at least they do for me. I usually only drip now, but use my Tumbler here and there and on the go.

thanks very much mr. crothers!

did you notice a huge difference in how long they lasted before you had to clean / rebuild them?

 

[Ahoy]

I went from clearo's to vivi nova's myself. I still use vivi nova's! They are cheap, reliable and just well built clearo tanks(buy the vision vivi nova's) the smoktech vivi nova's are prone to leakage due to the lack of build quality around the threading. There are fixes for it but it really isn't worth the hassle.

IBtanked has lots of great choices if you are ok with spending some more money for a great product.
the iclear series has great products in their line!

 

[Mr. Crothers]

I agree with Ahoy on the Iclears. I use those from time to time and enjoy them. As far as how long they will last, its really just gonna depend on how much you vape, the thickness of your juice, etc.. Usually when the taste is a little off, I take them apart and clean them. I personally get about 2-3 weeks and sometimes even a little more out of a coil head.

 

[inkb0n3s]

ahoy - yeah, that's what i've read about the smoktech knocks. :s vision vivi novas you say? hmmm. i will keep that in mind! and i mean, yes, i am willing to spend a few more bucks if i can get a better bang - but i'm currently unable to order anything outside of a good ole fashioned b&m right now >.< thanks for your input!

mr. crothers - when you say you can get 2-3 weeks out of a coil head, are you talking about cleaning or talking about when the tank becomes unusable?

After about a year and trying different delivery systems, I'm still using the kanger mt3 and t3s. Even after trying the rbas like the Kay fun and rdas like the igo.

I want something simple and low maintenance. When my vape quality is not up to par, I simply turn the mt3 upside down, unscrew the base and pop in another base with a new head recoiled with microcoil and cotton.

No need to mess around with syringing the juice up. I've also been using the same heads (about 10 of them) for 4 to 5 months without recoiling. Just dry burn and rinse once a week and rewick with cotton.

The only issue is that you'll have to change the rubber grommet to a silicone one, as in this thread.

oh man thanks very much danny4x4!

but i still have one more serious question: will a kanger t3s or mt3 fit to my ego winder battery?? :s

 

[monkey801]

They should fit your eGo just fine. eGo isn't the brand, it's the thread/connection.

The t3s and mt3 both use ego threads. I don't know what threads the ego winder has, so maybe someone else can chime in. If your device only takes 510 heads, you can get a 510 to ego/510 adapter for about I think usd1 to usd2.

I do sometimes use the adapter with the mt3 on the provari which only takes 510 heads.

Hope it helps.

I had nothing but trouble from Kanger T3 and MT3. Leaking, gurgling, lost liquid, ruined trousers.

I like the TS3 very much though. Not ever had a good smok clearo.

T3S *for me* is better than the Kanger evod. Bigger and clear tank.

 

[danny4x4]

I understand what you mean although I haven't had any problems with mine. Hence caveat to the OP, what works for one person may actually suck to the next. Only way to know if a certain delivery system works for you is to try it. I'm sorry, but there's no way around that. It took me more than half a year before I finally came to the conclusion that the mt3 and t3s were just right for me.

 

[Grimwald]

I have a mt3s. Works OK until it's down to the last 1/3, then nothing but leaks and gurgles. What is the use of a bigger tank if you can't use all of the juice?. Also, I find that I need to plug at least one hole in the base, or it is too airy for me. I have much better luck with evods...just wish they held more juice.

I have also heard that Kanger may be phasing out the T3 series...just what I've heard.
