Yeah, that's truebut worth a try. Thinking about it, it works for the Ohno (Nano) because of the filler in the Ohno acting like a buffer. No buffer in a T3 or CE3 :(

I bet that when you push the seal into a full CE3, it will push a little air into the tank, which will also push a little juice out the bottom. Let us know what happens if you try it.

I'm a clumsy putz. I've been rinsing out after every fill, soaking coil assembly for a few minutes, and letting it dry. No problems for a couple of weeks, aside from the loose wicks starting to get dark stains on them..... welll.... Today, I'm so used to doing it, I got careless... First, the rubber piece that has to be pulled off before the tube went down the drain, then I simply lost one of the loose wicks. :(

I decided to borrow a rubber thingy from a spare assembly I have on the shelf, and load it up with only the 1 loose wick. It's been about an hour, vaping is fine, can't tell a difference, and no leaks so far... I gotta stock up on more replacement coils. Just call me doofus. :(

When I do "take apart" cleanings I use a strainer cover for the drain just to make sure I don't lose anything. It's paid off a few times since I can be fumbled fingers quite a bit of the time.

Deb, If that juice seems to not wick good because it is thick, try adding a drop or two of distilled water to it. Might help. ;)

I haven't posted in this thread for awhile, because I felt a little odd being one of the few not liking the T-3s. Well, today I received an 808-threaded vv battery (ordered before SI's big announcement). I'm happily vaping one of my T-3's right now. Cranking it up to 4.1 volts has made all the difference in the world. Plus I've adjusted the "airiness" a bit more. I had already plugged 2 of the holes, but it was still too airy for my taste. So I filled the 3rd hole with clear nail polish, then stuck a tiny needle in there & pulled it back out before the polish dried. Now it's just about perfect.

I'm doing the happy dance. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Yep, the T3s respond really well to a slightly higher voltage. I vape almost everything right around 4.1-4.5. Higher than that, and things start to taste burnt. The regular ol' Volt X2 does a pretty good job but I'm looking forward to the Volt Spinner. For some reason I like keeping both 510 and 808 devices in my rotation. Go figure!

Man that stuff really IS great, isn't it?! Doesn't play well with regular cartomizers though, at least in my limited experience. I got a small bottle of it when I first started vaping and was only using 808, small cig-style batteries and regular filler-based cartomizers. Didn't do JACK and I wondered what all the fuss was about. But in a T3 it really comes to life!

Got my first T3 the other day and blasted thru a 15ml bottle of bobas bounty...(well almost the whole bottle) and it is great! It os a bit airy and cool but the flavor is yum yum yummy! My first time trying bobas bounty too.

i like my cig size batts for cartos and vaping on the go. I often use SI devices with my ego twist with a shorty adapter. i haven't heard much about the spinner: it sounds like a twist with an 808 thread. i mostly use the twist for dripping.

Yeah I still keep and use my cig-sized batteries with really strong juices in cartos in the rare instance that I'm out. I'm usually at home though so these big but slightly clumsy batteries (I REALLY dig my fat-batt 1300mah Vision Spinner) and tanks are my favorites. Haven't got into the dripping thing but I aim to.

I have read this entire thread with interest. I don't think the T3 is for me. I have my all day vape juices but i wouldn't want to load up that much juice at once even if i didn't mind a device that dwarfed my 650 x2. apparently they don't use the same plastic as the CE3 which is supposed to be impervious to cinnamon and other juices that crack the weaker plastic. I also don't like an airy draw. i like the replaceable atomizer concept though. The T3 does not seem to be a perfected design. If i have to have an imperfect device, i'll stick with the efficent CE3.
