I've tried the T3s and the nanos but I'm not really set on either one yet. Neither one of them have sold me as something I could use all of the time, at least not without searching for something better. I could use the T3s if I have to, but I would like something better if it exists.

My main complaints the with T3s are that the vapor is a little too cool for my taste, I want something a little warmer. Also the tend to leak when they get below 1ml of juicem which I just fill them and everything is OK. Occasional they have a very minor leak when fuller, but not often at all and not enough to bother me. More of a minor annoyance. Also, I'm not crazy about the airy draw, I have tried plugging a hole and it is better, but this seemed to cause it to gurgle more often then without it plugged.

The nanos are alright, but they leak more often then the T3s do and the vapor is just as cool. The CE3s sound decent, but the filling is just something I am not going to bother with, end of story.

How are he X2 clearomizers? Or does anyone know of another 808 threaded clearo that will fit the X2 batteries, preferably with at least a 2ml capacity?

Honestly to me all of the clearos have the same relative performance. I like the T3 the best cause they seem the most reliable, the X2 clearos are slightly hotter adn wetter (leave juice film on my throat) but they almost always leak for me, the nano is just muted and cold. I still prefer a good ol cartomizer for a hot hit. 808 cartomizer tanks are nice but they are fragile and prone to leaking. My experience.

if we are talking strictly SI products, my opinion is that the answer probably is no........If the CE3s are off the table for you, you don't like the Nano and don't like the T3 - you choices for ease of use and no leaks is to buy cartomizers and toss them when they are done. The clearo cannot be turned upside down or it will leak out and personally, I think they are awful to clean well and none of them lasted me very long.

I didn't do any tricks to plug the air holes of the T3, I just plug it with my finger or wrap my finger around the threading where the holes are. For fun, I apply my finger and take it off repeatedly through the drag. It gives you the option of not pulling too hard and forming a leak. I haven't had one actually leak yet, just the gurgle noise and turning it horizontal works just fine.....the gurgle stops without clearing it. The spinner helps too.

I get the vape to be pretty warm but I chain vape it.

I agree that the SI T3 is the best option. You have to weigh the pros and cons. My T3's never leak. The X2 Clearomizer is prone to leaking but it is a warm vape. I chain vape like drummerskey so I get a pretty warm vape after a few draws. If I vaped an X2 Clearo like I do my T3, it would get so hot you couldn't touch it. I've said this before but Nanos really are nice on the 78mm auto batteries but I've had bad luck with them on manual X2's with burning. They are also more of a disposable because you can't really clean them and for the price it's not worth it.

I love my X2 clearos. They last me about 2 weeks at least and I vape 100% VG sweet juices. They are warmer than the T3 and cooler than a carto IMO.

As far as leaking......as long as I don't take too long to fill it, I don't really have a problem at all. Every so often there is a small amount that comes out the bottom onto the batt. No biggie. Wipe it off, blow out a tiny drop on a tissue, and vape on. When I use it on my manual X2 or spinner, I let go of the button before I finish the draw so there is no condensation left in the mouth piece and no residue in my mouth.

I'm still trying to 'learn' the CE3's. The X2 is consistently good, but I prefer the T3. I had to take the head out of my T3 and run it under hot water for a few minutes to clear up a gurgling issue, but since then it's been great. The Nano's are good but only on the 78mm battery IMO. I've burned 2 already on my manual X2.
