Think this may have been covered but couldn't find the thread on the quick. For those who have tried both how does the T3 mini compare. Is is less airy and flavor muting than the regular T3??? I found I really don't like the T3 at all even after two tries with very flavorful juices. Emptied it both times after just a few puffs. Figure the smaller size may help. But if there is not much difference than capacity I will pass.

JoAnn, I think you wrote my post for me. I felt the same way about the T3 and the mini. To me the T3 was cold but the mini was slightly warmer and perfect. I like the CE3 better but the mini is the only thing I use on my X2 battery since it doesn't require a syringe to fill.

I MUCH prefer the mini's. Better, warmer flavor and vapor than the larger T3. Also no puddling or condensation on the battery post. Probably because the airtube is not as long. Also, no liquid pours out of the mouthpiece on refills either.

I was just about to ask about this. Thanks for letting me know.

I would still like to know if the minis mute the flavor at all. So far the three bottom coils I have tried , the T3, Nano and CE3, all do. The Nano being the worst of the three. I can deal with slightly cooler vape if the flavor is still there.

Tap'd from my Maxx

I haven't had any muted flavors when the coil and wick is good but after a few refills it does get muted and dry burnt taste. Don't like doing dry burns no more because whenever I do it, it leaves a burnt taste on the wick....

Does doing a vodka or grain alcohol clean help out???

never tried vodka or grain alcohol, too lazy for that lol


I thought I would hate doing it but it really isn't that much of an effort. Much less time consuming than rebuilding wicks like some people do. LOL. I have so many clearos now I do them in groups of 10. I can't believe that I still have a few V2 Liquimax clearos that are still in service after almost two months with weekly cleanings.

I'm using T3 mini's but after puffing on my X2 clearo's some more I'm liking the draw on them as it feels tighter so I want to stretch their use out as long as possible (due to cost). What exactly do you do with this? Rinse them out in water, then soak them for some time in vodka, then allow to dry? I've searched the forums for cleaning with this method but didn't see any good instructions. Mind you I may have just missed it. Thanks.

This YouTube video demonstrates cleaning and dry burning the X2 clearomizers. Just do the dry burn the way Mr. Outlaw shows you in the video and stop when you see the orange glow.

I just got my minis yesterday, and I like them much better than the big t3...same flavor, same vape. I mainly like the mini size since I never put that much liquid into a bigger t3 ever so the mini is perfect and has a much better feel and balance in my hand compared to the bulkier big t3. so far so good for me with the minis...

I have officially given up on the T3. Filled one yesterday for a log trip to North Carolina. This was my third time trying it. Was using it as a pass thru on my X2. Worked great at first and then started getting very little vapor and gurgling. Took it off and it was leaking everywhere. As far as I am concerned I am done with the T3 and don't even know if I wanna chance the mini.
