Tried the T3 from SI yet? Thoughts?

The double wrapping of cellohpane tape won't do it, I tried that. You need to glue the holes shut.
I had already done that. 1st one out of the package is a dud, end of story. 2nd one is working great.
I found a way of blocking the air holes that is working great for me & it's not permanent like glue. I just rub the knurled part on a candel till the hole is filled with wax. It stays in place til I punch it out with a pin. Works great for me.
Yes, I ordered 2 replacement heads & 2 T-3s. So I'm going to pull one out to see if it works on this tank. If that doesn't work, then I'm going to paint the tank with clear nail polish in case there is a tiny crack that I'm just not seeing. I'm hoping it can be fixed.
It's disappointing, sure, but anything made on an assembly line can be bad. So I'm not blaming SI for it; they're still my go-to place for batteries, cartos, & clearos.
Tried the candle thingy with a new head, and now my defective 1st T-3 I tried works great. So it was a defective head, not the whole thing. And it only cost a couple bucks with a replacement head to get it going.
Thanks again, Butch, for the candle wax suggestion. It's working great so far! And now I have 2 working T-3s.

I kinda like my T3. It's good with my Black Cherry. However, it smooths out my tobacco flavors too much to the point where I can barely taste them anymore. I hope the X2 clearos don't get discontinued.
Aesthetically, it makes my X2s looks like miniature baby bottles, but I guess I can get used to that.

My only caveat with the wax method would be it might come out, easily, when cleaning in hot water. I have pulled the air tube off the head, be careful of the wick that just lays on top of the coil, and they clean up like brand new. Way better than a clearo can be cleaned and also easy to switch flavors as a result. The other "big" tip is to invert the silicon seal on the air tube if you use thick, heavy liquids. This will increase the flow of liquid to the wicks/coil and eliminate or reduce dry hits.
Now the big trick will be having them maintained during manufacturing exactly the way they are, without any so-called improvements as has happened with clearos and CE3s.
One worthwhile change, if it can be done without introducing leaks, would be a replaceable mouth piece as many have noted. Something a little smaller or even a flat "pipe style" tip would be nice as well but I'm afraid that introducing a second set of seals would open a big can of liquidy worms.

So.... Looking like I'm the only one with a leaking problem? After the nano fiasco I only ordered 2 of these, no spare heads. I filled the first 1 about 3 different times with 100% VG juice and it floods the batt after only a couple of hits... Looks like most people are having good luck? Maybe I should test the 2nd one? I'm just getting tired of sopping up my favorite juices with Kleenex instead of vaping it...
Based on what I've experienced I'd say you have a dud. I've gone through about 50ml on T3s so far and haven't even had condensation on the battery. Try the other one and check the head on the one that's leaking to make sure the silicon seal is seated properly compared to the "spare" one.
I agree ... I was just trying to cover all the bases. But it's working now that I replaced the head, so I'm happy.
<-- happy with her dollar store *puffy* mosaic stickers covering holes.. pretty and shiny
Kinda worked a little.... I tried taping all 3 holes, the net effect was like plugging 1 hole. But the whistling noise was annoying, lol.
