    For those few who has had leaky Mini T3s... Have you tried storing them upside down so the liquid doesn't absorb and leak through to the battery?

    I'm trying this as I have noticed my T3s leak when you lay them on their side or you leave them on your battery and set it in a cup or something where it still tilts. I'm thinking the juice wicks so quickly that it overflows onto the battery... of course I very well could be totally wrong... still figuring it out even though I've had them for a month-ish. Any Ideas? I really like them and their airy draw because I inhale deeply and don't wanna burn the wicks like I did with the nanos.

    Your theory actually sounds good. I use the regular T3's cause I like the larger capacity. I will start doing that and see if it helps. :)

    See, I find top coil devices leak from the top and bottom coils leak from the bottom. I'd much rather little juice on my battery than juice in my mouth. That's why I use manuals. No issue with a little juice on the battery. I didn't have a problem with juice leaking in the iclears for the first couple of weeks. But I guess once that plastic gasket gets a little worn it will end up leaking. Time to move to the aspires.

    I use both the large and the mini T3's...and I keep the large ones just sitting on my dresser because since I started vaping the minis I don't use the large ones much anymore, and they all have fruity flavors in them that I hardly ever vape. all my minis have tobacco juices in them, and I keep them in a small round metal canister with a foam insert inside the can that has holes cut out of the foam to put my minis in. actually the container was a vape kit I bought long ago from HALO cigs...it originally came with small juice bottle samples in it. it works perfectly to keep my tanks in, I carry it around the house with me and sit it on the coffee table wherever im at. I also take it in the car with me and sit it on the passenger seat so I have 6 0r 7 tanks ready to just pick a flavor anytime I want. ANYWAYS, I do notice my minis do slightly leak occasionally inside the canister so I just take the tanks out and clean the canister and rinse off the foam insert and im back to vaping. I think all tanks leak slightly no matter what you do...I previously tried to keep my tanks in my Volt carrying case like when I go out in the car somewhere, but when I don't keep them sitting straight up they leak a lot more. I hate getting juice in my mouth from that, so I keep mine always sitting straight up in my handy dandy little canister set-up thing...

    I never really paid attention to it. But thinking about it if I leave my T3 minis sit for a while and then use them they will initially gurgle and leak. Even with new heads. I never had this before because they were in constant use. Now that I use a few different types they tend to sit longer unused.
