re manual button.. it's been a couple weeks since I started using the manual (along with my autos) when should I start remembering to push the darn button? I am still drawing briefly before I remember.. oh right.. button

I know what you mean! I hated them at first because I've only used the auto's. Sometimes I would draw and pull hard thinking... does this thing need to be charged? Then remember, push the button! :facepalm: I put it away and stopped using it but at that time, I only had two auto 900's and was just rotating those two. Then I pulled it back out after reading how others loved the manuals and getting more of a rush of flavor by pushing the button right before taking a puff. Well, needless to say, it took a while of practice before I started to get the natural rhythm. Now, by George, I think I got it. :laugh: Sometimes... it's just tough being a noobie.

I have more autos than manuals. When I have the T3 on an auto, after drawing the vapor in, seeing the vapor cloud in the mouthpiece, I ever so lightly draw the vapor cloud out of the mouthpiece. Doing it lightly will not fire the auto but will get the lingering vapor out of the mouthpiece, preventing the cloud from liquifying and draining back down the airtube. Haven't had any pooling on the battery post since I've used this method. I'm loving the T3 on the auto X2 more and more... and with two of the holes closed, it's great. Manuals on a whole are not my favorite but I use them to keep in rotation. You will find there will be a learning curve to get a method that will work for you when your manual battery arrives. Push button... inhale... release button before you stop inhaling. In the beginning you will really have to keep that in mind. With practice, it gets better. One added benefit with the manual is pushing the button a couple of seconds before taking the first inhale... you will get a really strong burst of flavor that you don't get with the auto X2. Just relating my own personal experience for you to consider.

oh dear...its drooling joann........opal hit the ;):banana:bender on the head....:laugh:its when I stay on one t3 to long..it gets to hot....so ive been....4 vapes...next...t3 ...and so on..no more wet wet wet on the bat post....chain vapers guide:laugh:..as far as manual goes.....next ticket in the vape journey......watch out alien egg sack fingers....push button ....inhale...:banana::rickroll::rickroll::banana:...release button before you stop inhaling .....ill learn what you said to a tune...until it sticks in my head...ill make sure I wont do this in public....singing with my manual.....cause someone may arrive with a straight jacket.....:laugh:.

Really helpful posts in this thread - especially the wax trick to plug the holes. I find I'm plugging one hole with wax, then using my finger to plug one of the other two - as needed. That is, I sometimes start the vape with only one hole open, then release my finger part way through the vape. Kind of like using a carburetor on those pipes from my youth. It gives me more control for my various moods during the day.

I've been using water on these and the nanos, but I've been informed that I need to add vodka to my wet bar. Will try that next time.

I'm sure you'll get it. ;)


My T-3 trial lasted 3 full days. By the end of it I really was liking them more and more, but I am still missing my sweet spot. I found that the first 30 minutes or so on my freshly charged 900mah X2 battery was the best. But for now, I'm putting them away until I can purchase a vv battery. I think I will enjoy them a lot more at a higher voltage.

But that's just me ...

Heck, I usually have 20-30 CE3s with a couple of flavors, a couple of clearos, some iTaste mini tanks (like about 10) and now four T3s all either in use or ready for use. It does take some time to fill everything, but that only happens once or twice a week.

I'd go insane just trying to manage that. lol

Variety might be the spice of life, but if you do it right, you only need 1.:D

LOL, guess that's why we say YMMV.

I've only been doing DIY juice for a week, and I've already made 15 different flavors. And I like ALL of them except 1, which I am allowing to steep for awhile. No way could I ever, ever, ever see myself using only one flavor.

Yep, variety IS the spice of life. :banana: :rickroll:

(I even require variety for my emoticons.)

Oh Lord! It get's worse!! :facepalm:

Ok, before I come across as a completely .... retentive anti clutter freak..
On my desk, I have 2 computer monitors, blu-ray player, hd/dvr, 5 speakers, all in one printer, cable modem, router, battery backup, and the computer tower. 3 remotes, 2 cups of water, a sandwich container full of almonds, a flashlight, my keyboard and mouse, extra wireless mouse I never use, big vanilla candle, camera, and

my ecig stuff. Finally.. an angry bird sits on my speaker. The 5 drawers are filled with STUFF. In one of those drawers is my Volt starter kit box filled with old batteries and fresh clearo's.

How about that?

Edit to add: Btw, my 3 ecig bottle ARE 3 different flavors. lol
Edit: Actually, 6 speakers!

Sounds like my desk, but add a lot of paperwork, glues, tape dispenser, stapler, giant mug full of pencils and pens, flatbed scanner, label printer, two ip phone modems, 24 port switch, assorted syringes and pipettes and a partridge in a pear tree. The keyboard is in an under-the-desk drawer and the UPS sits on the floor alongside the desk along with the full tower case.

I only use four different flavors in all those delivery devices and they're all neatly labeled. Add to that three X2-650's, two iTaste VV V2s and six 78mms. I will say I rarely run out of battery or delivery stuff.
