My T3 minis are starting to gurgle.

[Garemlin]

Was hoping this wouldn't happen but it is Thought I finally found a regular ckearo tank, But all three of mine are starting to get the same gurgling that my regular T3 got. And getting the little splatters of juice up the mouthpiece when vaping. What causes this with these bottom coils?? Currently have three tanks and four heads. Don't know if I wanna chance buying anymore.

Thats the problem with the t3 i have bro. 50/50 chance you will have ....ty heads. China QC is great huh. Im goona start rebuilding them to save money. That way im in charge of quality. I just started vaping and only 2 out of 6 heads have made it past 1 week. Funny thing when they vape good it enjoyable when they dont its when frustration comes in.

after fooling with the T3 a little bit, I've found the so-called "flavor wicks" are the big trick. They act as sort of a stopper to keep too much liquid from getting into the atomizer housing. I usually use three or four stands from a 2mm silica wick to replace them each time I do a dry burn cleaning. That seems to keep the gurgling and liquid drops down to the bare minimum.

Just my opinion, worth what you're paying for it. Your results and mileage may vary. No warranty or guarantee is expressed or implied. Proceed at your own risk.

I'm hearing these new T3S heads are better but they require and adapter.

I have a box of the new T3S heads and a new base to use them with, but I'm still using my original T3s, both SI and another brand. At the rate they are going, with dry burns and flavor wick replacements, I'll be good for another to years before I get around to trying the new, improved, version LOL.

Where else did you get your heads that work on the T3s (if you don't mind my asking)?

 

[awsum140]

My spare heads are mostly Kanger and some do work on an X2, the "old" style heads anyway. The new heads, Kanger again, I haven't tried on an SI. I also have extra SI heads so I'm set for quite a while.

 

[greasemonky89]

Im still looking for the offical word if the new t3s heads and base fit the si x2.

How old are they? They don't last forever. I get about a week out of a coil

 

[greasemonky89]

Mine have lasted me anywhere from 2 days to a week and a half.

I have one that has been going for a month and it doesn't gurgle. And if this the life expectancy of these I'm not happy. I have Liquimax clearos that have been going strong for 3 months off continuous use. And my X2 clearos have been going for a month or so. Weekly cleaning might contribute to that.

Life will vary according to what liquids you are using. The higher the sugar content the shorter the life. That seems to apply to any delivery system, from a carto to a drip atty. The biggest factor in any of them is how much gunk builds up on the coil, reducing efficiency and muting/changing flavor. Cleaning does help, and with a T3 family, replacing the flavor wicks is also a good way to extend their life.
