Who's Tim? link?

I get my CE3's from Vapors Choice or Vaper Alley, but several vendors carry them, Discount Vapers is another.
They are made by BetterLifeTech.
If you decide to get them, click the post that I linked to and give it a read.

I also applaud your tenacity and OCD'ness, skelley. I was just giving you grief. My heads have been lasting so long with just a little hot water rinse and overnight dry that I think I'll need new tanks before I need new heads.

It's all good
I'm glad to hear that the heads are getting some mileage. The wife is happy and the only complaint is that she thinks it's a little to hot of a vape on her pink KGO....no wonder she gave me strange looks when I use to tail pipe my old CE2's.
I think I will pick her up a twist so she can turn it down. I'm running 5v and everything is good here.

He has a price match policy as well. Been very happy with his service so far. Not a huge site but generally quality stuff.

I really like them, too. I think that this leaky one could perhaps be cracked at the base somewhere, and when I screw it down tight like I have been it opens that crack up a bit. Have been putting it on just snug versus tight like I was and haven't had a leak since. I tend to screw them on pretty tight, but will lay off a bit and see how that works.

Where are you guys getting your coils from? I have a bunch, still, but would like another 10 or so. iVape is where I got mine, but they are currently out of stock.

Think this has already been answered but it looks like Kanger makes replacement heads with short and long wicks. Think some vendors repackage as well. Makes it even harder to tell what is real and what is a knockoff. Starting to think that is almost by design.
ALso see vendors postiing reviews on one product page that is actually a review for a different product. Wonder if that is by design too or if they are lazy or just don't know?????

The heads seem to be made by different manufacturers, this seems true with all coil changeables, i.e. T2's; Vivi's; CE4+'s; ego 2.0 etc.
This is good and bad.
Good: made readily available (no waiting for production back orders); price $1-$3 depending on man. and vendors selling.
Bad: not able to get a repeat vape if different materials used by different manufacturers. Quality may differ.
I'm sure there are other points, these are a few.

I have not only seen vendors reviews, but individual reviews that read the vendors description of the device and give their review and it's not even that device.
The latest was from a Vape Team Live review of the ego vision stardust, it was the Kanger T2, but they went by the vendor selling it. (it got thumbs up btw)
Lazy for not doing their homework? Yeah, I think so. If you are going to review something, you should know all about it and the in's & out's.
Only my 1.5 cents as I'm sure I could think up more later

I couldn't find my post about the T2 base having the broken wire, so I'll post the follow up here.

I did have a base go bad as the wire connecting the top pin to the bottom pin broke at the solder point.
I did notice that the post on the wifes batt already had grooves cut into it from many months of use from various devices and I believe that those grooves are the culprit.
I think those post grooves caught the air slot in the bottom pin of the T2 which caused it to twist and either break or strain the wire which had many tight twist in it when I inspected it.
Plus, I'm sure that as many times as she's dropped it, that it didn't help it either.
Another issue she encountered...
She forgot to tighten the head back down after filling. So when she installed the drip tip piece, it ended up popping the top metal ring off the outer tube. Not a big deal as it pops back on with some pressure, but just something that she has ran across.

This the one?

My original one just had its third head installed. It is starting to show its age. Getting about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks out of a head. Orignal mouthpiece. Been vaping with it almost exlusively for a month and a half. Been dropped a couple of times but it has not landed on anything hard (carpet). The age part is it is starting to crack where the tank meets the metal base. Not bad yet but I can see it.
Still liking it but thinking about your CE3 or a CE4 as something new to try.

That's it Apptiger, I must've had a brainfart they other day looking for it...thanks
The CE3's give me the best flavor of all the clearos that I've tried and they are awesome for a dripping atty.
I remove the metal inner post; cut the outer post down and reinstall the outer tube w/o the center post and drip. You can leave the outer tube long if you don't like a hot vape, but it catches condensation.
They only hold 2-3 drops of juice at a time, but they give the best flavor and it's clear so you can see when it needs more before it gets dry or floods.

How are these for everyday use? I'm loving these T2's, but I would love some more flavor.

I used them exclusively for 4 months, best flavor of any device.
I like to trim the wicks slightly and rock the post to raise it, which will increase juice flow.
