I got my two t3s to test last week. I had a bottle of ry4 I've been running on my first one this whole time and I absolutely love it. I just got my order in for a bottle of ecto plasma (one of my favorites) and loaded up my other t3 with it to start vaping. First pull was ok. Second pull was worse. By the third pull, a tiny little puff on a ten second drag. If I unscrew the top portion, burn it, and blow into one of the holes the vapor just ROLLS out. Screw the top back on and take a drag and its back to a wisp. Any ideas?

Hi Chad, As I sit her vaping a t3 i am trying to figure out how it could be blocked as to not have airflow. First vape ok, second less progressing to nearly no vape..... Is it a stiff draw?

The juice? Not likely since its already a fave and vapes well on other devices.....

Trim wicks? No, they are already massively short. That would almost certainly lead to flooding.

VVwill help? Well, Yes it will, but it wont fix the issue with this specific clearo.

Have you put this t3 on a different battery?

I have a feeling its not making good contact with the center pin on your PV. Remove the t3 and gently get a thin device like a dental pick, straightened paperclip etc and wiggle the center pin upward on you battery. Go gently, you only want it to move about half a milimeter or so upward. I find it is generally easier to do a little on one side then rotate and do a little on the other side. If the problem is connection this should fix the issue.
The only other thing I can see that would affect the vapor output would be something lodged in the center tube, obstructing the airway to the mouthpiece. But this would also make for a very stiff draw, so thats probably not the issue.

Report back after some testing and we will try to help.

First of all thank you for the response.

It's not an air flow problem for sure because the draw is the same as my other t3. I can take the tank portion off, fire it, blow down the tube and tons of vapor comes out the holes. Like more than I get in a drag which is weird. I put a different battery on it and same thing. I also cleaned the post and wiggled it up a bit and same result. But at least my other one vapes really well so thank you for that advice. The next step is to vape down my other t3 and put the ectoplasma in there and see how it goes. I'll report back with that

Well, after some testing I think it's the juice. For some reason the ectoplasma doesn't agree with it. I switched to my "good" t3 and the same thing happened. Weird thing is if I turn it upside down so the juice isn't on the wicks it vapes great. I'll just have to put this juice in my tanks and ry4 for my t3s I think

What is a T3? I am new to vaping so I don't know the lingo? Are they good?

If you Google "kanger t3" you'll see what we're talking about. If you know about tanks it's basically a big tank that holds a lot of juice. With the atomizer inside of it. A lot of people love them including myself but some don't. If you want to try one out they're like 5 or 6 bucks and I highly recommend them. Just not with ectoplasma juice apparently.

Sounds like what I may be looking for. Hopefully the local shop "Vaporoo" that was suggested to me carries them. I hate to wait for mail order stuff.

I have the same problem with Johnson Creek's Autumn Crisp in Vivi Novas. It doesn't matter what head I use, or how careful I am loading it. Full, only half, whatever. No vapor. It just doesn't agree with Vivi Novas. Why? I have no clue. Maybe it's overwicking? It is really thin. Either way, it doesn't work. Oh well, that one gets dripped or cartos only. Some juices just don't play nice with some attachments.

Try your Ecto in something else. If it works there, at least it works. And hopefully, someone with more knowledge than I might be able to figure out how to make it work in your T3. Just wanted to let you know that these things happen and you're not crazy. :)
