As for the liquid yes it can break down a little if exposed to high temps and as a result you say it bubbled up in to your mouth - partly due to it being thinned out in the heat but mainly because you most likely got a few drops into the centre tube of the T3 while filling and re-filling.
This happens when we get too excited about a new experience (vaping).

Nothing, no device or piece of kit is perfect, they all have their little quirks which is why there's constant chatter online about this n that and how to make it better, new hardwares being produced etc.

The T3 on the eGo problem is prolly due to the resistance of the T3 - it just might be too low a resistance - this thought just occurred to me and so I had a little Google and found the following for your reference.

Taken from http://www.constantvapor.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=KANGER%2DT3%2D2%2E5ATOMIZER

What ohm do I need? - An ohm is a measure of electrical resistance.
Lower ohm (1.8-2.0) = less electrical resistance = hotter atomizer = greater amounts of warmer vapor;
likewise higher ohm 2.4-2.6 = greater resistance = cooler atomizer = cooler vapor.
3.0-3.2 ohm atomizers work best with a variable voltage ego or mod.

This one says that they are no longer stocking the lower res heads
http://www.discountvapers.com/kanger-t3-coil-heads/

"There is only one resistance right now, Kanger has specifically told me all the lower resistance heads do not perform properly. once they get it worked out I will carry them, as of 11/16/2012 they do not sell them unless specifically requested and even then it is discouraged. so I suggest you do not buy them until I post them here. I will only post them when Kanger tells me the issues are worked out. I will not sell a product that the manufacturer says is faulty no matter what"

Rebuilding your own is really the way to go after a while, simple too but eVods are much, much easier to re-do and they also look so much nicer.

The LiQueen Cuban Tobacco juice you can mix with another flavour - the vanilla would be a nice combo.

My good deed is now done for the day. Back to being nasty work

I can't really recommend it but I've been using 1.2ohm coils on joyetech and kanger egos for a few months now and have had no problems whatsoever. The egos are putting out around 3.2volts under load which is an 8.5watt vape which is high enough for me. Any higher and my juice tastes burnt.
The pros of a small ego outweigh the cons of a big mod for me.
Its 2.6 amps which is higher than the 2.5 amp limit of the battery(i think) but I don't think the amp limit has ever kicked in.

Yeah I'm a bit OCD when it comes to this :P

I am going to rebuild the coil on my T3 and try for a 2.4omhs and see how that goes

Ill try the vanilla/Cuban tobacco mix and see how it goes

I shall be putting in an order for an Evod in the coming days

Also going to pick up a mech mod as well and have a fiddle with that :P

After those I basically have everything haha so it's just going to be flavouring to mix up loads of different flavours and combinations and keep my out of trouble :P

Is there anything out there that will consistently provide 15-20W?

Thecageyone · 08-08-2013 03:49AM

I don't get it? Why would you want 15-20W? serious question ...

was.deevey · 08-08-2013 05:19AM

Heat, Vapor and Flavour.

Just did a quick calculation and i'm averaging 15 Watts @ 3.7v, starting @ 18.5 watts fully charged and honestly can't vape anymore at less than about 12 Watts on a drained battery with my French Coffee Juice.

Thats on a Mech Mod with a .9 coil without a kick

Of course that depends on the flavor of the juice as well, if I change to strawberry or watermelon around 12 Watts is about as high as I can go without burning.

...adding to was.deevey's post, my 18-20 watt zone is being split between two coils, 9-10 watts per coil (see? In a range of normality and no burning, doesn't change the flavour much it just doubles everything, less button-holding).
I like the extra TH it provides, means I'm not vaping as much. 24mg on a fresh dual-coil gives a huge wallop.

A Vamo with stacked 18350s.
Throathit's twin battery mods (PM him on UKV).
DNA20 mods. There're a couple of modmakers on FB, cost €120 delivered I think, but they're pretty boxy.
One of them goes by the name 'Shanmods' I think

What kind of contacts has the Sigelei got? If they're chromed brass, sand the chrome off and rejoice at the extra .2-.3 you'll probably gain.

Edit: If you're trying to use an 18350 to power a .6ohm that could be the source of woes too. The internal resistance of the battery itself relative to the current being drawn would cause the battery to drop voltage quicker.

I used to have a vamo until it stopped working, so you're saying build a 1 ohm dual coil and it should be able to fire it with stacked 18350s? Interesting.

I realised pretty quickly that a single 18350 wasn't gona cut it for dual coils, only have 1 though.

It has a crappy magnet bit that for some reason stopped being magnetic after I took a blowtorch to it. Doesn't look to be brass underneath, just a dull brittle material. I'm also putting the batteries in with the positive part touching the spring at the top as it seems to fire more consistently. I really need to get the upgraded screw bit from celticvapes but the thought of paying nearly a tenner for a screw annoys me. If it's so much better with it why the hell didn't it come with it in the first place??

(Heads off to buy overpriced screw...)

It still won't for a low ohm coil so you'll have to make a 1.3ohm (think that's it's limit?) dual-coil and fire in voltage mode with stack and matched (same age/voltage) batteries. Each time you use the batteries when stacking you have to switch which one goes on top, so number if you decide to try.

The magnet idea was stupid of them, they took the idea of a magnet in the switch and used it wrong. Very dim. Once you got the magnet off did you sand it? Think that's supposed to be brass.

Couldn't get the magnet off, after several efforts with a blowtorch and pliers all I managed to do was chip some of the edges off and remove it's magnetism. Strangely enough I haven't really gotten any misfires since it became non-magnetic but I'm getting less peak time out of the batteries. Once they go below around 80% (as measured by my evic) I need to change. I'm hoping that the magnet is a poor conductor and putting a brass screw in will help.

That vamo idea is tempting, might see if I can pick up a second hand one on here.

platinums · 13-08-2013 09:57AM

Ordered a lot of juices lately the nicest being the Coffee Cream from Mom & Pops Vapor

Ordered Calipiter Chow and Butterfly Baits waiting for them now

Also ordered from Vapegear.co.uk
[ Sigelei Telescope 19B NO GLUE x 1 ] [ Sigelei Kick x 1 ] [ Mesh and Wire Sample Kit x 1 ] [ 316 7x7 Stainless Steel Wire Rope ] [ Efest 18350 800MaH x 1 ] to add to the pool

Im excited for this Kick, never thought I would get used to Mech mods, single voltage, but I like it, only wish the voltage would stay consistent and not fade with the battery, hopefully the kick will achieve this..

€70 spent on juices since 1st of the month, shame half the juice I dont like though.

Ionised · 15-08-2013 08:41PM

Difficult choice today...

Food for the dog..or Kaifun...

Well the dog does really enjoy leftover pizza

Turns out you can use a 2c coin with insulating tape around the edge to make it work (19b) without the magnet. Who would have guessed?:pac:

I have iClear 16 clearos, they're dual coil ... should I be on the high end of watts? I don't do math, never did

but I've been vaping at 8-10wand all seems fine ...

grindle · 16-08-2013 07:41AM

I haven't used the iClears, so if they work I can't say anything against them, but I've been told they burn at 13-14watts.
This makes no sense, it'd be like having a single coil that tasted burnt at 6-7 watts.
Something about the setup of those things is off, whether it's the coils touching off each other and creating a spot where the juice dries faster so it tastes burnt quicker, or... I dunno. I'm not gonna be buying one to find out, but think of the max wattage you could set a single coil to. Double it. You might not like that heat, but a dual-coil should be able to reach it.

The final resistance of the i16's is still the usual 1.7-2.2 ohm range, like any clearo. I haven't seen one, but I bet it's dual wicks with a single coil running through both. From the pictures it looks like it.

Thecageyone · 17-08-2013 01:42PM

I don't know, I only have a few of them. One won't fire on either Vamo, it just gives that 9.9 ohm reading - no contact. But the other ones will. I use the one that doesn't like Vamos on the itaste, which only goes to 11w. But right now I have some VP in the one on the Vamo, just tried 14w and it tasted fine. I'll give it a run through the day, see how it goes.

jamie72 · 22-08-2013 01:32PM

Just ordered my Smoke Drunker tank.

Can't wait to try it, no more having to buy T2 heads!

Worried about how high the resistance is on the heads though and how silly it'll look on an ego!

How much do you have to buy to qualify for the free samples?

Don't think there's any minimum. You just have to register for the "in private club" and when you order something, they are there as samples to click on.

They only had 6mg available though, so I figured I'd just check out the tastes.

Also, Cigare de Paris was listed as a sample on the site, but out of stock.

I guess the popular one go quickest!

i really dont like coffee sweets say from a quality street. Never thought I'd like Coffee Juice but its lovely, more like a lovely strong espresso than the fakery pumped into chololatey sweets.

Lucutus · 26-08-2013 12:38PM

Legal Vape 4000 from China, 10,000 units, pm if you want to buy one from me.

Okay so I'm just after ordering "FrankenVape" & "Candy Cane!!!" YIP~EEEeeee......!!!

http://www.vaporium.eu/prestashop/product.php?id_product=175

http://www.vaporium.eu/prestashop/product.php?id_product=119

I so excited to try these flavours! I've been dying to try sweet/candy type flavours, so I'm hoping "Candy Cane" will be nice. "FrankenVape" is Kiwi and Marshmallow flavour, its sounds unbelievably gorgeous!!!!

I love all types of fruit in real life, but I haven't liked any of the fruit flavoured e-liquids that I've tried. So, I'm really hoping I like this one. The Marshmallow part sounds to die for!!!!

I have a splitting headache from trying to chose e-liquids. They have some really nice ones on that site! I wanted them ALL! :P

Has anyone tried either of the e-liquid flavours that I bought? If so were they nice? I know its hard, but can you describe what they taste like? Also, has anyone ever ordered from "Vaporium" before? Are they fast with their orders?

I have a few e-liquids for swaps if anyone is interested? I'll post a list later!

I can't wait for my new order to arrive!!!! YAY!!!

EGriff · 05-09-2013 05:32PM

I ordered this cheap lil dripper from fasttech. https://www.fasttech.com/p/1376204 so I can try dripping and rebuilding at a low low price.

I got a ego thread cover too so it won't look wonky or snap off an ego battery. https://www.fasttech.com/p/1284506

DublinCJM · 06-09-2013 11:55AM

Got one of them from ESI for 7 quid... grand job, but I haven't a scooby how to rebuild it though, so now it's just sitting there...

Here you go!

Get some wire and wick, clean hands, and good eyes. It's easier than you would think but takes a little practice.

DublinCJM · 06-09-2013 01:03PM

Haha, thanks Tommy....

I never said I couldn't find a vid that showed me... just that I can't do it!

I've tried to rebuild my protank heads with no success as yet, and they're supposed to be easy!! So I've not even bothered trying the dripper!

Sure I'll keep on trying... going on holiday soon so that might be a good opportunity to have a good crack at it!!

DublinCJM · 06-09-2013 01:04PM

Just got another protank mini as I dropped one the other day, and it smashed, funnily enough.

Also just got a protank II, so am looking forward to seeing how it stacks up against the protank, and the mini (which I love!)

EGriff · 06-09-2013 04:15PM

I'd say rebuilding that lil dripper would be much easier than protank coils. You just wrap the coil, stick the wires through the posts, tighten the screws and you're done.
Protank has the lil rubber piece and the centre post and a smaller area to work in.

Well that's what I'm hoping anyway, I haven't tried either yet.

Today I ordered
