Hello all!
so about a week ago (new years day) i got three new tanks, as listed in the title. in order, here, here, and here are the initial reviews i gave them. i said i would give them a week, and then post my thoughts. so! here they are.
t3s:
man, i love this tank. no problems except for some slight leaking from the bottom, where the contact is - which is my fault. make sure you grab the grippy part and not the tank, kids. from the start, it's given me light, smooth, tasty hits, and the taste has gotten even better. i've got it on my winder right now, and it's currently my go to tank. i also love the fact that the longer hits and repeated hits are still nice and cool compared to the standard ce clearo. thank you, bcc's. (run at 3.7v with 2.0 ohm atty head)
mt3:
this tank has been my "pocket" tank, or the one i use when i'm out of the house. it's small and tough; i don't worry about bending over and accidentally cracking the tank from the battery. (not that i ever have my vape in my pants pocket). on my first go with the mt3, i noticed a strange, almost plastic-y flavor that has now faded. i read up on it before i bought it, and found that more users had experienced this - i found a thread in which one user had replaced a small grommet or band or something that sits on the inside of the tank, and this cured the taste. i didn't do that. the funky taste faded to almost gone, and it doesn't bother me. now, when i hit it for four seconds, the vapor production is not as much as the t3s, but still more than the standard. repeated hits heat up the mt3 to the point where the atomizer section becomes warm to the touch. this is probably because there is a lot more metal on the casing. (run at 3.7-3.9v with 2.6 ohm atty head)
iclear 30s:
or, a big ....... tank. seriously. i'm a new pv owner, so i haven't got into the whole rda/rba thing yet (they're all on order right now xD) and this is one seriously large tank. the first time i used it, there was a very strong metallic taste which i'm crediting to the mouthpiece. there's another, sharper taste which i'm crediting to the fact that it was not "broken in" yet. this sharp taste has faded. now, before i decided to get one of these, i found very polarized opinions on this tank. people loved them, or they hated them. i said in my initial review that i was on the fence about it, that i'd give it a week and get back to you. well, unfortunately i'm still on the fence about it. it's a nice piece of hardware, and the most expensive tank i currently own, but i neither love it nor hate it. it's a little cumbersome (to say the least) for e.d.c, so i use it at home when i feel like switching it up from the t3s. there's a bit of a "warm up" before i start to get some good vape action, and i am not fond of the metal mouthpiece. the flavor is a bit on the sharper side, and it reminds me of skittles. otherwise, it is a juice hog (as many have told me) but well worth it. repeated hits get warmer, but leave the tank nice and cool. there's a tiny bit of leakage onto the battery contact, but an even smaller amount than my t3s. (run at 3.6-3.8 with 2.1 ohm atty head)
all tested with 18mg blackberry juice; unknown base.
TL;DR
t3s is great. mt3 is good. iclear 30s is nice as well.
favorite? t3s. best flavor, best vapor production, best price - all imv.
thanks for reading, and happy vaping!
