My first kanger t3 disaster

[Shads]

Hi All,

First post here. Start vaping about a year ago but gave it up due to the steep learning curve and not being able to find a satisfying vape. Started again after ending up in a bit of a debate about e-cigs with my doctor. Once I found bottom coil clearos all my problems were solved. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now. Not making any conscious choice to switch. I just put my smokes in an inconvenient place, gave myself permission to smoke as much as I want and kept the PV with me at all times. The only hard rule is I'm only allowed to go and fetch 1 cig at a time. If I want 2 I've gotta make two trips. Results have been pretty nice. Started at 50/day, yesterday was 17. It's been a fairly steady decline of 1-3 cigs each day with only one day where it was higher than the previous due to a traumatic event.

Anyway I thought for my first post I'd pass on a hard lesson I leaned yesterday. I'm using a Sigelie ZMAX v2 with a Kanger T3. Since the ZMAX has a fairly high sided drip cup the knurling on to removable part of the Kanger is completely hidden so to get it off you've got to hold the top part to unscrew it. Since you've got two threaded connections there (battery to Kanger base and Kanger base to Kanger body) it's not hard to have the wrong one unscrew. You can't see which one it is on the ZMAX until you pull it off. Which I did while the clearo was full. A word to wise, a 3.5ml clearo tank with no bottom on it tends leak a wee bit . Took a while to clean that mess up.

Moral of the story, if you can't grip the clearo base turn it upside down when you want to take it off the battery.

Oh I should add another part of my story. Been a heavy smoker for 20 years. Made numerous attempt to quit, one lasted 3 years, a couple last 1 year and many others last from hours to a few months. My trouble was even on the long term quit attempts after year I found my ability to concentrate was shot to pieces and it didn't go aaway so I was thoroughly miserable. I pretty gave up on giving up a few years ago. I decided that if was a choice between 40 more years of feeling like that or a premature and possibly painful death but being happy between now and then, then smoking was what I'd prefer.

The reason I point that out is because although I said I started using the e-cig with no intention to quit smoking (I was hoping to cut down a bit and save some money since it's $20 for a pack of 30 her in Australia) what I've noticed over the last week is a change in perception. I'm actually coming to accept that quitting IS possible without the debilitating long term side effects and my previous firm decision NOT to quit smoking is starting to be re-evaluated. Not something I ever thought possible

sorry double posted

I have no intention of quitting. It's not even part of my thought process. I enjoy smoking.

I managed to switch my habit and nic fix addiction to a healthier delivery device. Now I can smoke in the house again, in bed, in the car, everywhere. I haven't been able (by choice) to smoke in my house for over 10 years. Sure is nice.

Not to mention the cost savings....even buying new batteries, clearos, ejuices.....all of that is way cheaper then buying 4 cartons of tobacco cigs each month. Once I settle into a hardware solution my monthly consumable expense of juice and heads will be less than half the cost of a carton of cigs.

Can you get an adapter for 510 to ego? That'll raise your Kanger bottom base to better grasp it. This is what they look like:

Adapter - 510 Battery to eGo Cartomizer

Vape on!

Yes, I did this, too, lol...T3 and MT3. What I do is screw on the Kanger just enough to have it seat, but not enough to where its tight. As long as the battery can make the connection you're good to go!

Also, the T3 will lose vapor right at top/cone connection because of the holes in the knurled base. One thing you can do is wrap a finger around the cone and base and it'll keep the vapor from escaping.

All those Kanger BCCs are ego threaded, so they really work much better with eGo batteries. However, Kanger just released a Protank, which is 510 threaded and should sit nice and flush on your mod.

Same as the VAMO bud...you need that adapter. I mean, I could just foresee this happening when I slowly tightened my EVOD down...backed it off slowly, t'was full of juice.
Besides, we all get leaks, so any distance between the PV and said leak is a win. And my adapter has a small space inside, to grab spills a tad. Blow it right out.

Oh No!! Why would...you...show..that to me?!!!?

MUST...HAVE...NOW

It is, isn't it? I'm considering getting a mini ProVari to go with that tank.

I use an adapter all the time since the majority of my stuff is ego threaded. A key not though, is to make sure the fit of the adapter is really tight, and the clearomizer just tight enough to make a connection. I still managed to unthread the bottom of my EVOD by accident and got juice all over my eVic I learned though and with this technique it hasn't happened again!
