Tried the T3 from SI yet? Thoughts?

[dxmantx]

I agree with Eleanor. These T3's are working great for me as well. I also use my manual 900 x2's and the airy draw is not a problem for the manuals.
I have no leaking problems like my clearos where I always pull them off saying "leaking yet?" with a tissue at the ready.
They produce prodigious amounts of vapor and the flavor is clean and pure.
I am still looking forward to Mr. Outlaw's vids regarding the T3's

YES!... Hurry Mr. Outlaw!!! We REALLY need your guidance and instruction!

I glued 2 of the holes shut last night and tried them this morning. I am now in love with these! The difference is amazing, a much improved tighter hit!

Mine shipped today; Yaayy!

Turning the gasket on the head post upside down really gets things going and speeds up the wicking. Try this if you use heavier vg juices.

Super glue also works well to plug the holes. Just make sure your T3 IS NOT screwed on a battery when you apply it.

Thank goodness for videos. I watched the SI video on refilling a T3 and I'm happy to say I did it with no major accidents and that is after Tail has had her evening cocktail!

I'm loving the T3's and ease of use. Just wish the airy feeling would go away. I'm looking for my gorilla glue tomorrow and try plugging a couple of holes.

Did anyone try nail polish yet? Curious to see if it left a residual taste or not.

I'd suggest using the thick version of any of the "super" glues. It won't have a tendency to just run through the holes and it only takes a very, very small dab to do the trick. Not doing it on a battery is also a good idea, unless you want a permanent T3/battery combo. I do suspect that there would be enough machine oil and vaping liquid residue to keep it from sticking too well, but better safe than sorry.

Agreed on using the thick stuff. Actually, I used some stuff called Cypox which is a combination of super glue and epoxy. Reasonably thick and fills voids nicely.

Rumor has it that there are Kanger T3 minis coming out.i would LOVE those-sometimes I don't want to put so much juice in a tank and when these get down to 1ml they have a tendency to leak on me.

 

[Trainguy059]

True. 1.7ml and they use the T3 coil head. They look just like a T3 with 1/3 of the plastic tube whacked off. Kinda cute.

so while I was at the dollar store yesterday - I found these little mosaic puffy sticker things - very small. There are now 3 colors surrounding the nubby part of one of my T3's - covering two holes. Works great and they're Mylar shiny stickers too!

Do you mean C-pox? I searched for Cypox and ended up at that adhesive.

More thoughts...
My taste buds seems shot again... Can't taste flavor atm.

I like the T3 more and more.

I'm lazy with the airy draw, but quickly noticed that if I used my thumb for the battery button, my index finger could curl around an intake hole on the T3... Imagine a golf grip. Covering 1 of the 3 holes is just enough to make it excellent... If I manage to cover 2, the draw is very tight.

After vaping about 4-5 ml, I decided to take it apart to clean. Even if I couldn't swap out coil assemblies, I love the fact that you can dismantle to clean thoroughly. The post to the coil assembly was really tight. But once that was off, I could easily get at the coil and wicks. One of the wicks was coiled, the other two were just laying on top, and around the coil. I very carefully removed them to get a better look. All wicks seemed clean and no gunk on the coil at all. I just rinsed again, just in case, let it dry a little before reassembling. I use high PG, so I reassembled exactly as new. I've heard with high VG, reversing the rubber cover to the post, and/or removing 1 of the loose wicks helps too.

Huge step up from the x2 clearo which isn't designed to be taken apart. If SI continues to sell the x2 clearo, I hope they upgrade to the newer version available which can be fully dismantled, just like a T3, except top coil. My x2's seem to be lasting well, so I shouldn't complain too much about it.

I hope SI continues to expand inventory... I think multiple options on clearos is good. A large top coil and Large bottom coil clearo. I would ask for the T3 mini as well, but that would be greedy.

EDIT: OTOH, if SI is considering the T3 mini, stocking the coil would cover both products. Also, if the mouth piece were made shorter, it would further reduce the size of the unit. I think it is unnecesssarily long, even on the big T3... Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I totally agree with all the points that you raised... and NO that would not be greedy!

x2'S are known to be "hot" right after being taken off the charger. Sometimes takes a few hits to get the charge discharged so that it doesn't give a "burnt" taste. Just take small hits until the battery normalizes.

I'm usually taking my batts off charge when I wake up in the morning so I do the "cigar puff" kind of thing right off the bat just to keep from coughing up a lung anyway. lol Is it just me? Whether it's a smoke or a vape....that first puff in the morning is pretty harsh. lol

But then again....My all day vape is a cotton candy flavor and when it tastes burnt it just takes on a grahm cracker flavor....so.....it still tastes great!!!!

 

[Tail11]

I also agree with you Steve. I've been lazy and haven't looked for my glue yet so I'm doing the finger cover upper too.

I would prefer a flat/squared mouthpiece I'd love to see SI come out with a choice on mouthpieces on their next go round.

You should drink a glass of water when you get up in the morning first, before vaping or smoking, because your throat will be very dry. That should ease the harshness. Just my

I start the morning with sipping coffee then vape after a few sips. It's either tht or find a more mello liquid.

 

[Trainguy059]

Yep, same product. IIR, Cypox is an exclusive rebrand through Mike Rose Hobbies while C-pox is a product of CoolChem. LOL Clones aren't unique to the e-cig industry.

Do you mean C-pox? I searched for Cypox and ended up at that adhesive.

 

[philly1234]

Not sure if anyone has asked this question yet, but...can you put an SI replacement head on a T3 that you already own? Has anyone done this yet?
