vivi nova vs kanger t3

[mainevaper]

Got my order of t3's today, and have a few opinions i'd like to share.
OK.. 1st opinion... The kanger t3 produces less flavor than the nova... I can still taste the juice, but its more of a flavor explosion in my mouth with the vivi opposed to the kanger. The kanger produces good vapor... More than the nova? Not quite sure on that yet... Give me a day or 2 to make that decision, but its fairly close.
The size of the kanger vs my vivi 2.0... Well, 3.0ml(kanger) vs 2.0 for the nova... The kanger is obviously bigger, but how so? Well, its about a half inch taller... Other than that, pretty close.
The "draw": its a lot tighter on the nova... I mean.. A LOT tighter, and I personally prefer a tighter draw. Again... This is subjective to ones opinion, and also easily remedied.
have not yet altered draw, but will in due time. I'll report my opinion after.
Oddly... The kanger doesn't seem to handle the voltage as well as the vivi... I turn my twist up past 4.0v w the kanger, and the juice fries... The nova can go well past this without frying the juice. This is odd, as the nova does not wick as well.... I will state that the kanger has 2.4ohm heads, where the nova I'm using on the same twist is 2.8... So this likely plays a roll.
Conclusion...
I guess... Maybe if I hadn't started with the nova over a week ago, my opinions may differ, but I've been using the nova, and the switch to the kanger has been a bit of a let down so far. Granted... I've only been using it for a couple hours, so its entirely possible that it has a "break in" period, and I may change my opinion. But my first impression is as stated.
I will update in a week with my final conclusion.
Thoughts? Experiences? Tips?

I was using the Mini Vivi Nova (and still do) and wanted to try the Kanger T3.

So I picked one up and have been using it the past few days.

I personally seem to like the Kanger better, I have only got 2-3 burnt hits on the Kanger. The Vivi I seemed to get more. The Vivi also seems to want to be refilled after a half/tank otherwise it is more prone to burnt hits and off tasting juice.

I like the cooler vape and easier draw on the Kanger. Like any clearo it seems they need to have a tank or so ran through them before they perform their best when new.

Running my Kanger at 4.0 V on a Ego Twist. I run the vivi's around 3.8V both on 2.4Ohm heads.

Well, its only been 2 days.. But the kanger may not be as much a let down as I first thought...
It seems that they def require a tank full or to b run thru them before they perform optimally.
Since running that 1st tank thru, I have had 0 dry hits, no leaking, and all around good performance.
The one thing I did to tweak the t3 was plug one of the air holes. It was just too airy for me. Nice draw now.
The juice seems to last a lot longer than in the vivi. Flavor is a lil different between the 2, but I wouldn't say one delivers more than the other, just a tad different.
Vapor production seems pretty close, but the vivi being a top coil does produce a warmer vape, the kanger isn't a cold vape, but def not as warm as the nova, which is to be expected.
I don't have an opinion on which I prefer yet.. I think time will tell that one for me, but at the moment, I'd say they compliment each other nicely.
To make things even more difficult for me, I have a ce5 coming in today =D
I kinda think its gonna b about the same as the nova, but I guess we'll see.

I think to get the best comparison though, make sure you are using the same juice and same resistance. I went from a CE5 with a 2.8 head to a MT3 but the MT3 had a 2.4 head. And, the CE5 is a top coil like the Vivi, but so far I stick with the MT3 simply for the size and store my all day juice in those, using the CE5 for the other randoms I like to hit. I also want to try the vivi though.

The juice seems to last a lot longer than in the vivi.

I notice this as well. I know the Kanger holds slightly more, but it is more efficient with the juice consumption, another plus.
