I just got my T3's. Gotta say they are really nice!!

The draw is ever so slightly easier than a Clearo. Not so much that I would even give it a 2nd thought. They offer up a 'cleaner' taste than a Clearo. Excellent throat hit with 1.2% 555 and tremendous vapor! WOW...is all I can say for now!

On another note, I tried a couple Niquids...

Marachino Blast is quite tasty. not at all over powering just a nice light juicy cherry flavor, not that lip balm taste. The vapor production is immaculate (probably due to the addition of VG) throat hit at 1.2% is just perfect. Better than the traditional line, but not over powering.

Sublime is not what I was expecting. To me it is more menthol than mint, but my lady tells me she can tast the lime and mint. It isnt bad ( I don't do menthol) but not an all day deal for me. vapor is same as above.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Has your mail ran yet? Mine said the 24th until this morning when it showed it was at my post office and then it changed to the 26th. But, it then showed out for delivery and it's here today. Post office...arrgh! ;)

I've vaped a couple of tanks through the SI T3s now and can say the VTF is quite comparable to the Kanger T3s. For whatever reason, the coil head manufacturer (including Kanger) has decided to add a third vent hole which makes the vape almost too airy for me. The SI tank is sturdy and should provide a good life span. Time will tell on the coil head, however, I've been vaping the same Kanger coil since early October and with proper care and feeding it's working like new. My only complaint is with the X2 batts on which I'm constantly hitting the drag limit. The autos are somewhat worse than the manuals, but both will work just fine for "normal" vaping. I tend to chain vape and the T3 will definitely keep up. The batts, not so much. However, that has nothing to do with the SI T3 which seems to be an excellent, well made clearo. I'm sure you'll enjoy the vaping experience with your new T3. Merry Christmas to all!

Sitting by my window with a clear view to the mailbox. Not that I am anxious or anything. :blush:
Finally came!
Just ordered a 10ml sample of strawnana smoothie too... Poured about 1ml in, and vaping away. Nothing new to report:

- Tons of vapor.
- Lots of flavor on exhale
- Airy draw [not an issue] - the air hole seems considerably wider than other clearo/cartos.
- Very big, both length [almost as long as 2x 650 batt], and width, a little wider than battery.

Not sure if it is QC, but I noticed unscrewing/screwing the bottom to fill with fluid, the tension felt uneven, but does attach firmly, so no leaks. Also, screwing onto battery for first time, same thing, maybe outer threads were dirty on battery.

Definitely a keeper.
Rotating quite a few flavors/clearos atm. It's gonna be a while before I have to clean or dry burn this thing, but for now, I LIKE. :)

"All I got for Christmas was my two T3s, my two T3s, my two T3s..." :laugh:

Got my SI mail today. Thanks, Secret Santa! They shipped the wrong color X2, but got the right T3s. Filled my first one with Banana Split and I can tell already that I'm gonna have to mix my flavors a little lighter. Whoa! Lots of flavor with these! Not crazy about the draw though. Now I know what an airy draw feels like. Ick. Thank God for the long cutoff on manual X2s. Played a little bit with turning the post, and giving it a 1/4 turn counter-clockwise with a screwdriver seems to have helped some. But definitely have to tinker with it a little more. Tried covering the holes with tape too, but then started getting that annoying condensation on the batt post, so that may not be the way to go for me. And I was a little bummed out by the fact that the coil isn't as easily accessible as I thought it would be (like they are with the Splitfires or Vivi Novas), but I'm wondering how attached that top rod really is (like if it comes right out if you lift up the silicone cap covering the coil at the bottom). Needless to say, I won't be playing with that until this coil dies. But other than that, not too shabby. I'm getting the mad, crazy head rush that I got when I first got my X2, and my face feels like it's in a sauna. Definitely a cooler vape than cartos or regular clearos though, which some may or may not mind (I don't really mind that much).

Rock the coil tube back and forth a couple of times and it will come right off. There may be a couple of loose wicks (on Kanger heads for sure) laying on top of the coil, so be careful not to lose them. Or you can just toss them and replace with a single piece of 2mm wick. Regardless, the coil is easy to get to. Rebuilding it, now that's another matter....I'm kinda po'd that the coil head guys decided to add a third breather hole in the head. I never had a problem at all with the 2 hole version and the draw was nice and tight but not Frosty through a straw tight.

I got mine today too. It really does have an airy draw. I fixed that by plugging 2 of the air holes with the end of a toothpick. The flavor is a little muted compared to my CE3's (only other clearo i have used). Alot of people say this gets better after the first tank on the kanger t3's so i am hoping it gets a little better with time.

They seem pretty well made and solid. I got 6 of them and all the heads have a nice tight fit. That center post above the coil does just pop right off. No leaks so far and my batter post is staying dry so far. I like them alot, even tho they are huge. They will be replacing my CE3's.

I can't say much about TH as i use 60/40 juice so i dont really get any TH from my juice, which i prefer.

I got mine today, and on a manual X2 its working great. So far, no burnt tasting hits and no gurgling. It puts out lots of vapor, and gives me a good throat hit. I really can’t tell much difference between the X2-T3 and the Kanger T3. It does have an airy draw, but I got used to it using the Kangers. I can’t get it to fire my auto X2 battery very well though unless I cover the air holes on the T3 base.

The tank is interchangeable with the Kanger T3 tank, but the coil assembly won’t work on an eGo battery. It will screw on an eGe batt just fine, but the battery post doesn’t make contact with the post on the X2-T3.

So far, so good, we’ll see how it holds up over time.

J.R.

Merry Christmas everybody!

Yayy, cindy!! Hope they get your batt color straightened out--the rainbows are soooo pretty.
I'll be ordering a T3 as soon as they get the 5ml bottles of NiQuid up on the site. Got a few points to burn, and want to try the cherry on top, biscotti, and strawnanna.
