It fits together and looks pretty good. Base is a little smaller in diameter, but not bad. I didn't check for leaks, because I'm low on juice and payday is tomorrow.

I didn't fill it up or anything, but I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work either. I screwed in the evod base to the T3 body just fine with a T3s head on it.

Anyone else having some weird problems developing with the new T3S bases/heads? I'm getting low juice flow even with 70/30 PG/VG juices, but only after using the heads a time or two. And sometimes they just....stop working. As if the atomizer has a short. But just taking the device off (be it mod or plain ol' eGo Twist) and screwing it back on fixes this for a few hits.

I've resorted to using the NEW T3S and MT3S bodies with some of the OLD bases I have accumulated. That's working fine. I'm getting a more satisfying draw this way, but with slightly less vapor and flavor than with the new T3S bases/coils (when they're working like they should).

A quandary.

I had it happen on one so far. A 1.8 ohm. Same thing. Loosen/tighten and problem fixed. Can't find my meter right now.

Had another weird problem today. Setup was vaping perfectly last night; new T3S with new base/coil unit. Working fine. Went to sleep around 4AM, woke up at 11AM and NOTHING but burnt, dry, harsh hits. Loosening and re-tightening never fixed the problem. Tried this on two completely new bases and heads, on two different T3Ss (one clear, one stainless MT3S) and never got a good result on either my eVic or SVD. Finally gave up and plopped an old T3 base into the clear T3S and all is well again.

Weirdness. I must be doing something harebrained.

I should probably note once again that I am a certified goof and a klutz and am prone to making errors even when doing the simplest of tasks. I have a startling tendency to overlook the most obvious things and I think this contributes greatly to the seemingly endless problems I encounter with darn near everything.

Case in point: ProTanks have been problem free since I got my first one about 2 months ago. I've been using Evod heads in the bases to tighten up the draw a bit. Tonight I decided to give the ProTank specific heads a try, and now instead of an airy draw, I'm getting dry hit after dry hit. This is on both my eVic AND my SVD. I guess what I'm saying is, feel free to ignore my complaints. Every now and then some lighting bolt of common sense strikes me and I realize what I've been doing wrong, but that's pretty rare. :oops:

Thanks! I'm going to order a couple T3S and see how they work. 21 bucks is not a lot of damage, so I can afford it ;)

I was having the same problem with one of my two T3s'. I would get a couple of good hits, then it would seem to short out. The flavor also seemed "off" somehow. I think I just figured out my problem-the base wasn't tightly screwed into the tank. I noticed a little leakage around the outside of the tank. So once I took the tank off the battery and tightly screwed the base back into the tank, problems solved-no more shorting out and improved flavor.

I solved the irritating-as-#(@! burnt issue I was having. Just removed one of the flavor wicks that sits atop the coil. Shoulda thought of that sooner. Nuclear D'OH!

And the connection issue I've easily solved by pulling the pin down just a teeny tiny bit.

No more issues at all with the T3S. I'm lovin' it. Now if I could just get this stupid #(@ing SmokTech Terminator RDA tank thing working right. Other folks are having zero issues, I get nothing but flooding and dry hits. As I've just illustrated, it's probably something obvious I'm overlooking. I'm getting lots of help in other threads though. This forum is full of great, helpful, patient people!

Stormy's already got stock. I'm planning on ordering two and see if they work. I have too many clearos already, 4 T3, 2 Vapeonlys and 2 eVods... Too many different heads. I want to love either Protanks or T3S, heads are much cheaper compared to the Vapeonly... Time will tell!

Yeah I hate that the VapeOnly's heads are so much more expensive than they should be. For the price of three of them, you almost might as well buy a whole new kit. I've been having too many issues with them though. Burnt if I leave all the flavor wicks in, flooding once I get past 1/2 empty if I remove one. I've given up for now. I might try them again if the price comes down, because I WANT to like them. They look snazzy on an eVic with the black tubes.

I've been having quite good performance. Most of my liquids are 60/40 or 70/30 and I rarely have to remove wicks. Sometimes I get a little gurgling but I roll up some paper and stash it down the center channel as far as it'll go while turning it upside down. That removes all the gurgling. As for dry hits, mine does it when the head is dirty. Try dry burning it or another head.

The BCC has a lighter vapor, but the thing I hate most is cost. 12 for the clearo, 3 bucks for a driptip, 15 bucks for the spare heads. But I love the form factor, 3.5 ml and the thing looks dainty. It's a day's worth of eliquid. Works very well, but the best flavor I get out of the eVod.

If I may...
I love the Terminator C RBA tank. I have 3 that vape all day. It's tricky to get it working but once you do, vapes great. Try the V1, I like it better Terminator-C R/A Tank V2

But really, at the prices of disposables, no RBA have a match. Maybe better flavor from a Genesis like but T3 vape like crazy. Plus, they last a long time, while my Term needs a new coil every 2 or 3 weeks. I'm vaping them because I have them, but really, I love the way disposables are vaping right now.
