My Kanger T3 Burnt Out

[joelj]

Hi guys,
I'm quite new to vaping,
I live in a country where there is no possible way to but e-cig supplies.
And a shipment takes like 20 calender days to arrive and costs (shipment only 16-18 USD)

I need some advice on long lasting clearomizers...

I'm using the Kanger T3 at the moment.
I vape like 2.2-2.5ml of juice a day at 4.0v using my SLB eGo device.

One of the kanger replacement coils stopped working after 2 weeks (give or take a couple of days).
Is this normal?
Is there any way to make the clearomizer last long?
Is there any clearomizers which last longer? or should I stock up with bulk orders...

Smoked my first analog after 15days as my replacement coil completely died.
Issues:
Not much vapor or none at all sometimes,
areas surrounding the coil overheats to a untouchable level,
and constant burnt taste.

any help you guys can provide is highly appreciated
Many thanks.

Are you talking about the analog? Classic!
I haven't had the T3 long, but I like it, and have been going on at least 3 weeks with it. Definitely have backups. With my order, I ordered 3 of them and 10 replacement coils, but I might order more if they're that difficult to get there and have such expensive shipping. I haven't done it, but my sister has replaced the wick and coil in one, so that might be another option for you.
Good luck!

Here's what I would do if I were you and couldn't easily buy more supplies. Get a Vivi Nova (or mini nova) - get a couple and some replacement heads. Also buy some wick and kanthal wire - a little bit of each will last you a very long time. Then check out some Youtube videos on how to rebuild a vivi nova coil. I haven't tried it yet but it seems very easy to do. Here's a good video:

It is actually normal for the coils sometimes to burn out in 2 weeks. I've had some last longer than that - and some burn out within days.

BTW - I have examined my Kanger clearos to see if it would be possible to rebuild them . .I don't think so.

Other than VIvi Nova - you could also look into rebuildable atomizers or tanks.

One advice, though . . . also get a multimeter. You can easily fry your gear with a shorted-out coil.

It is possible to rebuild a T3. I caught a video the other day of how to do it and it really doesn't seem that tough. I have the SI X2T3 (same as the Kanger but 808 threaded) and have 1 pulled apart waiting for me to rebuild it. I also have 4 others and a few replacement heads and I just haven't done it yet.

If I can find the video again I'll link it here

Here's one (not the one I was looking for)

He has an earlier video on how he made the coil and wick he uses in that video

i would say rebuilding it is same as a NOVA, just doing it from the bottom, so its a bit restrictive in space but once i saw how its done...i decided ill probably rebuild a few
