T3 maintenance suggestions. ..please??

[time2quit]

Hi everyone. Im back to vaping...again! Its been 2 years since I've vaped, and sooo much has changed. I just bought a T3 clearomizer, and am lovin' it! Can somebody please give me advice on maintenance (if necessary) to prolong the life of the head (coil, whatever you call it?) Thank you much!

Ok Time, First welcome back!

What device are you using you t3 on?

What voltage(if adjustable)

What ohm load head do you have on the t3?

What liquid do you normally prefer(light/dark?)(VG/PG ratio?)?

How much liquid do you typically use in a day?

There are a few things I can help with , but a little more info will help me give you more specific help with your situation.

Thanks luse! Well...im using a Ego-t. Not quite sure the voltage, however it is not adjustable. I literally just started vaping again today. Ive probably vaped about 2 ml. The juice im vaping now is a "usa mix" not to dark...not to lite. Somewhere in the middle I guess. I dont know the exact ratio of pg/vg as I bought it from a local shop (the kid working couldnt give me specifics on ratio) im assuming its at least 20% vg because it has more vapor (then I remember) from 100% pg. As far as ohm...im not sure. It came standard with the t3 clearomizer I bought...if that helps??

IMO: coils are cheap just vape it until you need a new one
Kanger T3 EgO Bottom Coil Atomizer Heads

And Evod coils are even cheaper. I prefer the evod to the t3, but it holds about half a ml less if that matters to you.

OK Then

So On the standard T3(im nearly certain) that most all come standard with the 1.8ohm head.... You can check on the tube the next time you fill the tank. Its laser engraved on the tube about half way up. this will keep you in formed for when it is time to replace the head.

Cleaning, You will want to learn how to disassemble the unit. Remove the base from the tank. Gently rock the tube back and forth while pulling away from the base. This will expose the wicks sitting atop the coil. Take a tweezer and remove these and set aside, they will be replaced later. Rinse the now exposed coil and wicks under warm/hot water until it appears clean and white. Place on battery and apply power, on and off until all the sizzling stops and you begin to get vapor production from the open coil. Continue power on and off until no more vapor production (this is the gunk burning off the coil) the coil should now begin to glow red, continue on and off until you can clearly see all the wraps of coil. Once you can see the coil and there is no more gunk on there, your coil is now cleaned. Those two wicks that you removed near the beginning, I normally heat them with a small cooking torch. A lighter would work, or a flame on a stove. You want to heat them to red hot. This will burn all the old liquid and gunk off them once they are white they are clean. Place them side by side back on top of the coil, reinsert the tube and slide the silicone sleeve back on. Then this can be placed back in the tank to be reused.

The silicone sleeve that was slid down over the tube onto the wicks can be turned upside down to increase liquid feed to the wicks if you find that you are sometimes getting dry scratchy inconsistant hits. I am a heavy vaper and normally use about 3 tanks of liquid per day(~0nic mostly) and can get about five days to a week before I notice that the coil needs to be cleaned to restore proper performance. I can clean one of these heads in under ten minutes. Most of these heads last me personally about a month and a half before i retire them and move to a new head....... If something needs further explaining ask away. Good Luck. Happy Vaping.

Just be extra careful with the whole process... or you'll just kill the coil....

ok im not a rookie to e cigs just this site i have an evic with the stock battery and a 2.5ohm vivi nova with the 2.0 ml tank size my current mvr vw setup is 3.7 v at .5 second, 4.6 v @ 1.2 seconds, 8v @ 2.8 seconds, 8.9 @ 3 seconds, 6.9v @ 4 seconds, 4v @ 4.7 seconds, 3.7 @ 5.5 seconds, 4.9 @ 6.1 seconds, 7.1v @ 7 seconds, 8.9v @ 7.5 seconds normally use the auto switch to 3.4 seconds i like the burning sensation in my drags but also enjoy to have the end flavorful i normally use i believe its a high pg since its a runny liquid on full flavor like a tobacco flavor or coffee and mix it up on my longer drags with a drop of fruity i am used to using it as a drip my normal cleaning methods for the battery and mechanics are basically lots of q tips lol and for the heating coils i normally soak in diet coke for an hour then shake then rinse with rubbing alch then soak in rubbing alch for 30 min then air hose to dry any tips lol i am going to repost this once i get enough posts not as spam jsyk

I'd look up how to make your own coil/wick too. You'll end up saving lots and it's not too hard. There's a great video around the forums somewhere.
