Tried the T3 from SI yet? Thoughts?

[SteveI]

Thanks Indy,
I've been looking as Wizard Labs... Seems like a great place to order. Not even thinking about calculators. It's been many years, but I was a physical science major in college.... Way too many hours in labs, dealing with measurements, reactions, notes, and clean ups.

Zip & Cody,
I applaud you both... The last few months have been rough for me. Not sure if my anxiety and stress is caused by my misfortunes, or withdrawal from not smoking... As upset as I am, all of it was nothing relatively speaking.

My only wish is that I was a little closer. For a buddy to lend a hand once in a while is no trouble at all.
Able bodied, and no excuses.... I've spilled more than my fair share of juice.

Yep, choosing what kind/brand of atomizer is where I get hung up. I go from "well let's just start with a cheap one to see if I have the patience for this" to "wow! that thing looks cool! it's "only" $XX.XX" which is still at least 75% more than I should spend at the outset.
decisions decisions.....

Well, for the T3, the full cost is only a 1 time investment. The true cost of ownership is the replacement coils... 2.99 for the performance of a T3 is unbeatable. Since SI doesn't offer a replaceable coil version of their x2 Clearo, I think the Clearo is actually more expensive to use. Each one lasts a while, but so far the T3's seem just as durable, and cheaper to use in the long run... I guess when my first T3 dies, I will have a better idea.

hey guys....vaping t3...then all of a sudden huge flood...look inside the rubber like ring that sits above wicks has come off floating on top off pole...so I unscrew head...this ring has gone very soft like and wont grip like it did before...but im thinking its all this heat where having..like high 100+ is the cause.nanos.clearo...are the same....they only seem to vape right when... I get them into air con...around 70 to 80....but I cant live in my air con room gota do stuff sometime..so do you think this t3 is stuffed now,,cause this ring is to soft...to grip like before...sorry if this sounds confusing...my brain not working the best atm....turn up the heat till we fry

I have plenty....but cant use them..i have a allergy to the fillers...I just dug out all me old nanos..that have been drying for weeks...they are sorta ok ...on manual 78...I just got...everything is leaking...but at least with nano...I can cope with leaks better...less to mop up...

Did I say this already? I forget, the perils of getting old(er).

I used clear nail polish on 2 of 3 holes on mine, and that improved and tightened the draw to where I like it (very tight). Nail polish has the advantage of drying in 20 minutes or so.

I'd start with 1 hole and see if that does it for you. Removing a clog of polish from a hole would be difficult at best, so if two blocked is too tight, that would be an issue.

So far, I've gone through the tank three times and just cleaned the wick (and switched to the other tank). I plan on ordering a few more and a host of replacement cartridges for when the atty dies. These just became my go-to vape as the tanks lasts even me 8 hours or more.

I would try another replacement head and maybe soak the soft one in some cool water and see how that does. It's possible that the rubber ring will harden back up a little? Just a thought. I don't believe that excessive heat is good for the juice either. When you are not vaping, take the T3 off the battery, put it in air conditioning or a cooler until you are ready to take a couple of hits.

you got it joann...can only vape in air con room....I put little ring in freezer....I thought the same thing....im trying to learn how to rebuild t3 with new wicks and wire,,,theres a couple of you tube clips...that show you how...but I don't think...my fingers could do it.....when you say you soak in vodka...do you just put the whole head in...and soak for how long?....I got some cheap vodka that is 20% prove is that enough?

I don't know anything about vodka so I got the cheapest one. I unscrewed it and put the whole thing in overnight. Took it out the next day, rinsed under running water and let it airdry on paper towels. It may not be necessary to rinse it but I did anyway. They came out really good. I also soaked a couple of clearo's too the same way letting them airdry too. I did use one of the clearo's and I must say... it was a GREAT vape! Don't know if it was the vodka but... BOY! I'm going to fill the T3 tomorrow and give that another try since this is the first time I let it soak in vodka overnight.

ok cool...I have so many clearos....I don't know why they all leak...putting 2 small o rings on mouth piece helps abit...but after a day or 2 there...crap...so ok im going to soak them all in vodka....wow if that works...ill be wrapped

Well that will clean them, but don't know if it will help the leaking though. Is the leaking coming from the mouthpiece or battery end?

its from the battery end...it starts with abit of spoting,,then big pools of juice....ive tried all the ideas...blow through...only a couple of vapes...theres always...spots....or pools....

 

[abracadebra]

and its the same with the manuals....I got a 78 today...as well as 650 x2 manual ...I got a few days ago....but I must admit manuals are far better vape...im so angry at myself waiting so long to buy them

 

[abracadebra]

to me there must be only one answer....they just don't like the land of oz....or at least my part of it

One thing good about the manual, it's sealed so the juice won't kill the battery. The leaking issues could very well be the excessive heat.

I think you might be right about that. 90+ too much 8-o
