Need Kanger T3s Coil opinion

[djezewski]

I have had really bad luck with Kanger T3 coils with leaking. I am wondering other than the fact that the T3s have bottoms and the coil is separate? From the video I saw it looks like the stem is ribbed and a different length. Do these new coils leak less? I have been frustrated with the T3 model so far.

 

[vernhall]

As have I -- frustrated, that is... Have some on order and can't wait to get them and try them out! Hope the new ones are better than the old...

The stem is ribbed so your fingers will have something to grip onto when you screw it into the base.

Don't know why the stem is shorter than the T3 coils other than they found that they didn't have to be as long as the original.

I've had my T3s/Base for about a week now and have not had it leak. Actually I didn't have the original T3 heads leak either. I do experience a bit of dampness on the battery's positive post, but I've seen that on every atomizer/clearomizer I've used. To me I don't consider that a leak, just normal condensation.
Nor have I had any dry hits. Kanger has said the new T3s has solved the dry hit/leaking problem and so far this has been true, at least for me.

Oh, when I say leak I mean massive amounts in the mouth and a huge swamp by the battery. The first 2 were like that, finally the 3rd coil worked. I had purchased 2 ea T3's and bought 2 spare coils, so damn, I only have 1 set up left...was going to give it to my son but I don't dare give him that one in case that one leaks too. I heard something about ohm numbers are supposed to be on the coils..if this is the case then I got ripped off.

 

[spider362]

Don't think they ever printed the ohm numbers on the original style heads, at least the ones I have don't, but the number is on the new T3s coil unit. I have a pack of 5 and 2.5 (the ohms symbol) is printed on them.

 

[djezewski]

Good to know that they are claiming the new model won't leak. The old style I got that leaked from the moment I opened the package.

I haven't had leaks on the regular T3's either, and I've been using them since they were released. Lots of them. I'm wondering where you got yours spider, since you didn't have any leaks. I've thought before that perhaps there's a difference between those labeled Tabac BCC and those labeled Kanger T3's. Mine have all been Tabac BCC's. I've assumed they were the same but now I wonder. Are there Kanger T3's that don't have the Tabac BCC printed on the tanks??

 

[djezewski]

Mine only have the liquid level markings on them..so could they have been copycats?

Thanks. Good to know. Mine have Tabac BCC vertical on the tank next to the level marks.

If you ever are shopping at Good Prophets and have extra cash on hand, you might pick one up. They come with the 1.8ohm coil there.

 

[spider362]

I got mine from LiteCigUSA.

I placed 2 orders for them.
The first order was placed early in October 2012 and was for 1 T3 and 1 spare head. This one only had one column of numbers and no other identification marks.
The second was placed early in November 2012 and for 2 T3's and 2 spare heads. These had two columns of numbers and no other identification marks.

I'm going to assume that all 3 are from Kanger since they were identified as such on the website and LiteCigUSA is known for selling only genuine items.

I agree - litecigusa good vendor - true joyes, etc. Tabac BCC's at good prophets and heaven gifts are made by Kangertech as well. Not sure if it's just a Chevy/Pontiac/Caddie deal or what. There "T2'" were called "CC Cartos" as well and the first T3's had the ml markings "upside down" because they were T2/CC carto tanks. Also no leaks for me on the CC carto/T2, except the 2nd seal would sometimes get out of place.

Unfortunately, litecigusa is not showing the bottom part that goes on the T3s. I though sunvapors had them but when I went to look last night I did not see them. My T# was packaged just as a tank, has the markings and all of the coils were separate. The tank has 1/2 of the ml upside down. No telling what resistance the coils even are as those were marked for me to know(I ordered different resistance..these came from hoosiers. I will be shopping elsewhere for new stuff. At lease my Vision Spinner looks to be real and is working fine so far with 1 week of occasional use.

litecig has the one head but at 2.4 ohms - useless for my flavors. The tabac Bcc is hard to find on Good Prophets - I always have to search tabac

eGo 3ml Tabac BCC Clearomizer - Spare Bottom Coils

Choose ohms in dropdown. BTW, the 1.5's are too much for my flavors and the 2.5 ohms are not enough - way too cool. I use 1.8 for strong flavors, 2.2 for lighter ones. And the ohms is imprinted on the shaft - need the right light to see.

The whole unit is here - comes with the 1.8Ω coil.

eGo 3ml Tabac BCC (Bottom Coil Changeable) Clearomizer

heaven gifts also has the same unit with the tabac bcc markings - good bulk price which makes up for the shipping. Shipping airmail takes about 10 days but it does arrive. EMS is 4 to 5 days but more $$.

I'm done with the T3, I want the T3s..I would guess many vendors want to get rid of their T3 coils before they get in the T3s

 

[djezewski]

Update T3s coils with free base ordered. Gave my son the spare T3 to use on his old Ego battery. He seems fine with it. May see if he would like a low profile battery the is a VV with a low profile. Now I will see who makes them. I know Ego has the mini's but it isn't a spinner.

 

[Heden Aklowd]

I got 5 T3s that I've had for almost a month and love them.
1 for the wife & 4 with different flavors for me.
No leaks or dry hits.

Thats a nice even divide What are you the taxman, 1 for you 4 for me

No she only likes 1 flavor Spearmint. I curently am rotating between 4 flavors Root Beer +3 shots, Hawk Sauce +3 shots, Rum Tobacco +1 shot & I mixed the Fudge Brownie with some Wild Cherry and that turned out pretty tasty. Both flavors are good by themselves but I prefer them mixed.

 

[djezewski]

Glad to hear that. What batteries do you both use. I still would like to find some kind of VV low profile battery for my son. He like to keep his device in his pocket and a Vision Spinner would be way too long.

 

[Heden Aklowd]

Just some 1000ma ego pass thru clones for now. I'm thinking of getting a VV, does anyone make a pass thru?
