Deb.. short of moving south.. east or whatever would cool things off.. have you tried using an ice chest to store your vapes and gear in with those little blue ice thingees? if you have filled vessels.. which ever they are.. if they're in a cooler, it might help??? course that would kind of ruin that warm vape thing maybe but somehow I'm thinking a cool vape might be refreshing for you at this point.

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...

This is kind of "off T3 topic" but the nano also has filler inside of the tube and you can tolerate them. The problem that you could be having with the carto's is letting them dry out too much before topping them off with liquid... not keeping them really wet. There is another SI thread about proper filling and topping them off. I had bad reactions from carto's and stopped using them until reading that thread... lots of helpful tips.

Back to the T3. I would re-read the T3 thread because there were some suggestions posted about the placement of the plastic cup above the wicks. Also the care needed in adjusting the loose flavor wicks. Awsum and others had great suggestions about that. Hope you find solutions!

the nanos filler is sealed in tube...more so...the carts are more open...ive tried and tried...done all the reading....on carts...stop them for weeks...started again ..and everytime its the same...my throat acts up..plus I hate the taste of them...not for me ever again...

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.

Can't say about the T3, since it's winter here. But I routinely kept my manual X2's with CE2's attached through the summer in my vehicle. Never had a problem with leaks.

Oh, ya, I live in Phoenix, Arizona where only getting to 100' means it's a abnormally cool day in the summer. It is often 110-115'.

Don't know what the problem is Debra.

I have noticed that now with the cooler temps the ones I leave in the car will gurgle for a bit when I start vaping them on the way home. Lately the temp has been in the high 40's to low 50's then. Tonight will be interesting, supposed to get down to 29', and I am scheduled to be off at 9:00pm.

I also noticed that the 2 of my T3 heads are missing the little o-ring / seal that sits above the wicks. SI probably doesn't have spares, so they will sit aside until one of my main ones die.

Ok, off to work, have a great day everybody!

I'm awful cold natured, so I keep a space heater close to me. I've learned to not leave my e-cigs in front of it. When it happens, my clearo's gurgle and leak until I unscrew it from the battery, and blow it out. The battery will be nearly flooded. Of course, the battery gets hot as fire, too.

One side of my laptop has an exhaust fan pushing heat out. I can't leave my e-cigs there, either. A few times I put my ecigs above my keyboard, in the crease below the monitor. It's warm, but not "hot" by my standards. If I leave them there too long(a few hours), they will gurgle and leak.

I don't know where the line is, but heat will definitely affect a clearo. Is there a difference in humidity between Australia and Arizona? I live in the southeast, and summer temps regularly hit 95-100, but with 60+% humidity. "They" say Arizona doesn't feel as hot b/c there's no humidity. I've seen 2 weeks straight of 100+ temps in humid-less Denver. "They" are liars.

I think you need something stronger than 20% to clean effectively. I sprang for a pint of 95%, both for DIY and cleaning and keep thinking I need to try a shot, just for scientific testing purposes of course :)

come on awsum.....no one said 95%.....where the hell do ya get that....?.sounds like rocket fuel.....:(:D

Sitting down, facing forward.
I got it from the little liquor store around the corner It's called Everclear and is actually a whiskey even though it's clear and looks like vodka or gin. I haven't sampled it from a shot glass, yet, but it does add some throat hit to my DIY liquids. To be honest, my drinking consists of a beer or two during the summer and some Baileys at the Holidays. This stuff will probably put me under the table, or desk.

No everclear in Massachusetts since its a PGA, so just vodka for me.
