I have five Vivi Novas but I much prefer the taste from the little 1 ml. Kanger M3s. In my opinion, the clear taste rivals dripping. They fill much easier from a blunt needle bottle or syringe. Also, the M3s also take quite a long time to dry after rinsing.

Stormy' Vapor Cellar has both the Kanger 510-M3 Clearomizers and Kanger KR808D-M3 Clearomizers. I've ordered from them a couple of times and they have shipped promptly. vapor beast has the 510 Kanger M3 Clearomizers for a couple dollars more but they have free shipping. Vapor Beast has outstanding customer server, including phone support, and they also ship promptly.

Here's a little mod I made a while back that wifey might like:

It is a Smoov battery with a Stardust clearo. I added the inverted Ego cone to give it a sleeker look. Sort of like a dart or torpedo look.

Your wife is setting herself up for disappointment with key-holing herself into the insufficient battery department. Inform her that the fiddling-with e-cigs is almost neccessary to benefit from them. If she wants a fidget-free e-cig, she's going to HAVE to think bigger. Sorry. It's the way it is. Good luck!

We had several e-cig users at a party I went to last night. The womenz do like smaller for e-cigs... Go figure... LOL

An ego with a 650 battery and a clearomizer or a miniNova would probably fit the bill... As Dougiestyle said, she is setting her self up for disappointment trying to stay with a ciggie looking type. I did that for 4 months and was very frustrated that I could run the battery out of two of them during the work day... I would stop at the gas station and get a disposable one sometimes if I went for drinks after work.

GREAT photos, Bad! I love that x2 with the clearomizer in "squash" color. What do THEY call that color? I must have it.

That is the yellow X-2 batt with the yellow clearomizer on it. I have 4 different color clearos with four different flavors going at a time. When I am tired of 555 in blue, I switch to Ry4 in the green clearo or Freedom in black clearo.

I use the Nanos and the CE3's for my "specialty" flavors.

These are particularly useful to test new sample flavors in on any device, particularly if you don't drip.

The smaller 1ml capacity is the perfect size to try a new flavor in. If you don't care for it just remove the juice, rinse it out, shake it dry, and refill with the next flavor. Unlike other ce3 attachments, these DO NOT require a needle and syringe to fill or empty.

Total win! :thumbs:

Hey Bad, never tried them; can they be rebuilt? I mean, do they come apart to where you can rewick/recoil them?

I have some of the Kanger T4s from GotVapes and they absolutely will not draw when used with an eGo cone. Look at the bottom photo for the T4s on the GotVapes site. I think the naked threads are seriously ugly nor do I find the dinky drip tip that the T4 uses to be particularly comfortable.

Another point is that GotVapes has stretched the truth about not needing a blunt needle-nosed bottle or syringe to fill the T4. The juice tends to collect around the wicks at the top and not let the juice down into the bottom of the tank. Also, the T4s take a long time to dry like the Kanger M3s.

That said, the T4s provide the same excellent, clear taste that the Kanger M3s do. Taste-wise they blow my Vivi Novas out of the water and give dripping a darned good run for the money.

I would say probably not, they are so small. I'm not a fiddler-type person myself. I don't have these particular ones you listed, but use ce3s, which are essentially the same thing. I've had the same few for about 4 months as I only use them to test out flavors, and they are still working fine with the limited usage. They are so inexpensive that I wouldn't bother rebuilding them (5-pack for $10).

Nice thing about the ones that you listed the link to, is that these DO NOT require a needle/syringe to fill or remove liquid, like previous ce3s did.

I have both the Kanger M3s and the T4s. Neither appear to be rebuildable. They won't come apart by pulling with your hands and none of mine have died yet so I haven't tried using more force that I fully expect will break them.

Despite what GotVapes claims the T4s to which dsy5 linked are only sort-of fillable without the use of a needle-nosed bottle or syringe. Even slightly thick juice usually gets stuck at the top of the tank by the wicks and refuses to go down to the bottom of the tank even with tapping the clearo fairly sharply on a countertop or tapping on the side of the tank.

There is no difference between performance and taste of the M3s and T4s. Their heads look to be identical although the center tube on the M3 is very slightly longer. However, the M3s work perfectly well with the eGo cones so you don't have to look at ugly threads nor do they have the uncomfortable drip tip. I've ordered additional M3s but won't be buying any more of the T4s.
