Tried the T3 from SI yet? Thoughts?

[awsum140]

That's interesting, Debra. Where I am it's winter right now. Temps in the house are generally 68-70 and outside it's been between 20 and 60 since I've been using the T3s. It'll be interesting to see what happens this summer when it gets up into the 80, 90, 100 degree range.

Sounds like you need a table near the door in your A/C room to reach in and grab a puff here and there from, while you're out of the room.
Are your nano's misbehaving in the heat too?

do you get humid weather there.?..cause mark said where he is ....it hits 100...and hes had no problems...so maybe that's a part of it to....where meant to be getting a cool...change tomorrow....from high 90s down to 80ish...so ill see what happens......btw....I just tried that t3 I told ya I cleaned....and its working great.....sweet...I cant believe I got my fingers around it...

im not using my nanos much....so I cant say to that....but clearos...seem to play up....no matter what....maybe a little better in air con...I seem to get more vapes...before they leak....

 

[awsum140]

Yeah, it gets humid here. New Jersey is famous for high humidity in the summer, heck the whole Northeast is for that matter. It's not unusual to have temps in the 90's and humidity in the 90'sfor days at a time.

 

[abracadebra]

oh well time will tell......so how cold does it get there?....the coldest ive been in...is about 40ish....

 

[JoAnnW]

Best be prepared for the coming summer... I will not use clearo's or T3's outside in excessive heat and humidity. Only in air conditioning... I'll have to remember this.

 

[awsum140]

Well, cold is another thing. I remember a Christmas, back in the early 80's when it "warmed" up to a high of 4 degrees Fahrenheit. This year, we've been pretty warm for our winters. The coldest it's gotten, so far, is about 25. This weekend it's been in the 50's but is supposed to drop down to highs in the 30's by then end of the week. Overall the climate here generally ranges from lows around 0 to highs around 100 during the course of a year. Some years we get little or no snow, other years we get multiple bad storms with a foot or more of snow. The weather is variable, no doubt about it.

Awsum, thanks for the extra info. I will still use my Volt X2s for the smaller juice devices that I like (even though they are far from perfect). I want to stay with the 808-threaded (I've got bins full of all types of clearos & cartos), and I have a limited budget. I am looking at getting the Igo Revolver from NHaler. The kit price starts at $32 for the 650mah (price includes battery, charger, 1 Vision clearo; 3 coil heads for the clearo).

So far I haven't found anything that beats the price. Plus it's getting good reviews, at least the ones I've found so far. Voltage ranges from 3.3 to 4.8. I can't really see myself using anything over about 4.2, though.

Hey Moontiger....Let us know what you think about the Revolver. I have a Spinner 650, but don't really like the higher voltages. It might be because I've gotton used to the cooler vape with the bottom coil devices.

Temps will affect bottom coil devices most definitely. Going from cooler to warmer should cause leaks/gurgling, while going from warm to cooler should cause dry hits. Both should even out once the temp equalizes in the device. Have you ever seen or done the experiment where you put hot water in a container that can be sealed, poured out the water and immediately sealed it? Or the reverse, where you chill a container, seal it, then place it where its warm. These devices rely on a balance between surface tension of the liquid and the restriction of the openings. YMMV

 

[awsum140]

I hadn't thought about that, the effects of big temperature differences causing relative pressure differences as well, but it certainly is a factor. Once the temperature equalizes it should be OK though. Given the experiences with CE3s leaking due to relative pressure differentials, this should have been obvious. Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees.

 

[HOPS]

Somehow I'm the only schlub getting leaking... Tried the 2nd one with same results... 1st hit fine, 2nd hit gurgle-gurgle, 3rd hit no vapor and FLOOD...

 

[Imagine]

overfilled maybe?

Not at all... After the trouble I had with the nano's leaking I learned my lesson (hate seeing my fav juices in a puddle on the table). I only filled both with about 1ml... Just enough to get some in there, but not enough to be upset if they leaked lol...

You're not the only one, I've seen posts from others having issues. Could be your drawing too hard (quick), I think that is why they are made so airy, so we don't draw too hard (quick) on them. Did you do the air hole plug trick? What ratio juice? Manual or auto batt?
Of course it still could be a QC problem with some of them.

Nope, learned how to vape-draw after having leaking issues with the CE3s. I did not plug any of the holes, I like the cooler airy vape, easier on the throat. The juice I was using was HHV Heavenly Tobacco (ry4) at 100% VG. Manual X2 batt... I have no ideas... I've fiddled, fussed, cleaned, rinsed, and dry burned (well, not really "dry", just burned without hitting to try to dry the wicks a little, works on the X2 Clearos for me)... Still no love...
Now that SI is getting VV batts though, I think I'll just stick with the X2 Clearos and some CE3s...

that happened to my husband with all his CE3s.. coupla good puffs then they peed on him

he was not a happy man

 

[awsum140]

I'd suggest trying another head. Wicking on the T3 seems to be the biggest key and if they aren't just right problems could certainly crop up. Maybe try the trick of inverting the silicon seal on the air tube or removing the wick that sits on tope of the coil. I guess I've been lucky so far with both SI and Kanger T3s, no leaks, minimal gurgle and good performance right out of the box.

On another T3 note, so far a T3 seems to last about as long as an X2-650, the T3 runs just about empty when a freshly charged X2-650 needs to be recharged. Nice setup!

 

[Duster6524]

Using a 100% VG juice even thinned shouldn't be an issue, I would think it would still be thick enough, and since it is flooding, something must be wrong with the wicks. They're not in the holes right or something. I rewicked one with cotton and had problems with flooding. Since I had only put the cotton inside the coil and nothing on top, I put a small piece of cotton on top of the wick (like they came) and the flooding stopped.
Hops, you might take the air tube off and see if the wick and flavor wicks are in the feed holes. (If you are a tinkerer, that is )

One other thing I seen one post of (for a 510 T3) was a poster was having flooding and found his unit was leaking air around the mouthpiece. You might try some nail polish around it just to see.

I used to have that problem with the CE3s, until good 'ole awsum discovered the "stress cracks" on his. I checked mine and sure enough, I had 'em too... Little bit of clear nail polish and a lighter drag and not a drop since... Of course, I still have the "old" ones (kinda nervous when I need to buy more after seeing some posts on the "new" ones.
