so many questions

[djezewski]

I am pretty new to the Spinner and the Kanger T3. My first question is should I press the button then drag or drag and press the button? I am not real satisfied with this yet as I tend to get juice in the mouth and have flooded it. I have tried PG/VG mix and just PG. Have tried tons of flavors with my old rebranded ego and flavors still taste the same in this thing. I was thinking of maybe getting a Mini Vivi Nova with maybe long wicks or wickless. Wondering if these would solve my leak problem but also to be able to change flavors more often. Any thoughts?

Press the button first.

I've tried top coil clearos and T3 types. I keep going back to carto tanks.

I had a huge love hate relationship with my T3's. When they work properly they are one of the best clearos out there. Good flavor and tons of vapor. The problem is I had a ton of leaking and flooding most of the time. They seem to work alot better when they are more than half full and you take slow drags on them. This is how I finally got them working good all the time.



You should also try a vivi nova to see if you like it. Some people love them others hate them. I just ordered my first one to test out (I so hate waiting for vapemail). If you really want something that just works reliably you may want to try a carto tank, once ya get them set up properly there isn't really anything that works as reliably.

I bought 5 (6?) T3 clearomisers and every one of them leaked. I gave them all away.
I bought 4 evods and whilst they are much, much better, I still find them temperamental.

Changing flavour is not the best without rinsing out a clearo, so that why I have a few of each type....one for tobacco-types, one for menthols, one for citrus etc.

Today, I got my 4th Vision Mini Vivi Nova. I expect the evods may not be lasting much longer.

There is no right and wrong, but I've never had a leaky Vivi Nova. I've had some bad ones though....none of them made by Vision, but's that's a different story.

I've tried the Vivi Nova with 100%VG and 50/50. Still got a significant amount of dry hits. You have to tilt the thing pretty aggressively to keep the coil wet, but if you over tilt, it will "flood" and eventually drip into your mouth.

Are you sure you're getting flooding in your T3 vs. just condensation building up over time. After each fill on my EVOD, i just run a q-tip or some vaper towel up the tube and everything's cool.

I'm tempted, you know.

T3s were terrible (I had a few) and I am collecting Vivi Novas in a last ditch attempt.

Yes. When I went from cartos to novas (8 months ago) I had lots of VG liquids, and it's true. I only buy 70/30 maximum now and make homemade 80/20 or there abouts.

Thought I would try the Mini Vivi and so when looking on eBay, I found one with 3 different coils with long wicks, a drip tip and also the guy throws in a CE4 Clearomizer..all for $12.50, not too shabby.
Now as for leaking, I read somewhere about bubbles now that is fine for when I am just sitting around vaping, but when I am driving I sure will not be able to look for them. Also the thing gets pretty hot when I do a several strong hits in a row..and then floods..when drive. I see all these video reviews of different systems and they are hitting on them like crazy and never mention this happening. My son has the same thing happen to him(he is also about 1/2 pk a day analog smoker) He is getting quite frustrated also..he is ready to give up on these. Both him and I have burned(literally) through all the little rubber stoppers on the old Joye Ego cartridges and that is what got me trying with these now. I am certain that it is not condensation as I can take a tissue and get out juice from the mouthpiece and can see it by the battery..which mine on no matter what setting I use can do it. I have even flipped over the gasket over the coil..I really do not want to get into rebuilding the coils either.

If it's the same Vision branded 3-pack kit I got this morning you'll do fine. They are very reliable.

I have to agree with the carto tank. Once they are filled and primed they are pretty much worry free.

In my experience so far I would say the Vivi Nova has been very consistent and reliable.

Glad to hear that it is the boxed set

How long do the cartomizer's last?

How long do the cartomizer's last?

I now change mine out after 2 wks ( that's 60ml. of juice ). Used to go a month+, but not worth it anymore. At $1 per carto, I'd be happy to change it several times a day.

 

[donesmokin]

A carto lasts longer in a tank because it never dries out. Dark colored juices tend to clog up a carto faster than light ones. How many ML do you go through in a day? All cartos are not created equal. In other words, it depends. IMO catro tanks are very cost effective and hassle free when set up properly.

 

[djezewski]

I am not sure how much I would normally go through as those T3's have been leaking so bad, so I know with that I would say 4m - 6ml, on my old 501 cartridges I would use about 2 ml

 

[djezewski]

I don't use dark juices. Trying my 3rd coil on the T3..I am hoping I get some use out of them. I purchased 2 cartridges and 3 extra coils. These were purchased from Hoosier. I am wondering it these were Chinese clones. I saw a complaint on this forum when I did Google search.

 

[donesmokin]

I got dry hits on the T3 so I removed one of the wicks and it started flooding. Back to carto tanks for me.....
