Leaking Kanger T3 from Smokeless Image

[Gorky_Park]

I already watched a video (43 mins long) on You Tube about the fixes for the leaky T3's, and ordered some 1 mm silica wick so I can rewick it...question is, why does the manufacturer/distributor sells them as is where these things just start pouring out of the bottom within 12 hrs of having juice in them?

I tried thicker juice 80 vg /20 pg with same result (normally use 50/50)

When T3 works, it is awesome-great vapor production and flavor comes through so well...when it starts leaking it is a mess, leaves puddles of juice on my work desk and is a total disappointment. SI gave me 15 points ($2.99) towards a replacement, but I know if silica is same thickness and installed same way it will leak guaranteed.

Why make/sell product that needs to be fixed right away?

Am I the only one having this issue?

You arent the only one.

I have about 6 of them in my vapebox. lol.

You can try recoiling them with some thicker wick and thicker wire - I had to with all of mine. I dont even use them anymore as the EVOD's dont leak at all even when rebuilt.

to be honest i have 5 of them in my collection and ive never had any issues but i have heard others that do i have however had several EVODs leak on me its all hit or miss

Cheap product. Low quality control? I have two EVODs on the way, I have never tried a clearomizer, hope I don't get any leaks. I plan to rebuild them with mesh when they wear out.

they are all low quality control

Yep, you were right,after getting some silika I was able to adjust the flow to where there are no dry hits and no leaking...takes some time, it is trial and error, but at the end of the day it works and I dont use my stardusts anymore. Have Vamo on the way so I can try T3's at higher wattage.
