I didnt actually get anything new but a buddy of mine asked me to pick out a kit for him and i got: 2x 1300 mAh Vision Spinners 2x Kanger EVOD tanks with replacement heads 1 Black carrying case 1 eGo Charger 1 eGo lanyard. i got it all for under $100. I think thats a great started kit!

I have learned from experience to go with Brian at the Veteran Vapor because is only sells the real deal and if you are unhappy for any reason he will work with you to correct it. I had bought a bunch of CE4s and CE5s from a "good deal site". They sent me all duds. Now that would never happen with Brian, but if it did he would send you 10 working ones. Can you tell, Brian is my hero.

Update.. Dad went from 2 packs a day down to a pack every two days. After smoking for 60 years I think that's pretty good.

He moved out of their house and filed for a restraining order the following day.

I rest my case. Actually some of it is pretty good and some not so good. A person just needs to try them all and decide what floats your boat. I would just not put all my eggs in one basket and run the risk of having nothing to vape until the mailperson delivers the next shipment.

im the same as joe. I can kill an 800mAh batt in about 3 hours and i go through 3-4ml of juice everyday.... unless im dripping... them im more in the neighborhood of say... 5-7ml lol!

Buncha lightweights lol I get at most 5 hrs. from a 650 twist and ~10 hrs. from my 1300 mah spinners. I go through 4-5 mls. of juice a day,sometimes more.

Mods feel free to move this to the review section if needed, but I thought I would post it here since its really not an e-cig review or a liquid review as much as a comparison, but if you think it belongs there please move it. First off I am a huge fan of Kanger products, and I like both of these a lot. As with anything in life, there are pros and cons of each. I am going to compare these on the basis of the following criteria: 1. Looks 2. Taste-Vapor production 3. Ease of use 4. Maintenance 5. Cost of ownership 1. Looks: I like the way both of these clearomizers look but easily prefer the look of the T3S over the T2. I give the advantage here to the T3S. It is clearly marked a KangerTech product with the logo and name on the unit where the T2s do not have this. I also like that it has a gauge for liquid level both upside down and right side up since you fill from the bottom on these. They both come in color, but I find the looks of the T3S more appealing. Advantage T3S. It has a very clean uniform fit and finish. The ONLY complaint I have about the looks is the mouthpiece is clear which looks cool when unused but after a few draws you can see the condensation in it. Its there in the T2 as well, but with a black mouthpiece you cannot see it. I have had to get used to this. 2. Taste and Vapor production: Here is another area I am conflicted. With the T3S the flavors taste the same from top to bottom for me so far after vaping at least a tank of my go-to flavors with them. I might have to give the T2 a slight taste advantage for the first 1/4 of the tank, but after that it drops off for me unless I swirl the wicks which I hate to do. I do not notice a huge difference in vapor production but it seems the T3S produces slightly more. As my wife pointed out, there is definitely more of a "throat hit" from the T2 but at this point I am happy to tame that down just a bit. There is not a huge difference in this category either, but would give a slight advantage to the T3S since I think it produces slightly more vapor and the fact that my flavors taste the same from full to empty with all my flavors. 3. Ease of use: The T2 wins this one hands down. It is virtually impossible to get liquid in the air holes and-or flood a T2 from my experience. They fill from the top, very easy to do with little mess.You can fill while still attached to the battery. With the T3S you have to turn it upside down, unscrew the bottom, either be very very careful or plug the hole with a Q-Tip, put the bottom back on, and then re-attach it to the battery. Both are very easy to change the coils, although the T3S has an advantage here as you can easily change coils with a full tank as I have already done a few times (I will get to this later). One thing to mention here is due to the design of the T3S it doesn't work well for me with a lanyard on stock Ego batteries. It is fine on my Spinners, they have plenty of space and threads, but on the smaller batteries it screws down too far and places the lanyard ring in a bind and sometimes creates a distance that it doesn't make contact and you have to mess with it to get it to fire. I have gone back to using my Spinners anytime I plan to use a lanyard when using my T3S. I cannot efficiently use my lanyard and my EgoT 1000mah or my Ego Mini 400mah because the ring blocks the coil from making contact with the battery. 4.Maintenance: This is also a category where I am torn. It may be too early in my use of the T3S to accurately talk about this, but of the 10 I ordered with 1.8ohm coils standard I have replaced all 10 with 2.2 ohm coils that I ordered. The coils that came standard started flooding one by one but after exchanging them the leaking is minimal, but still there. I never had anything like this happen with the T2s. So far, there is definitely more maintenance with the T3S than the T2 for me anyway. Every coil I have used leaks at least a little and when refilling there is a procedure of blowing out, swabbing down the air hole and mouthpiece. It reminds me of the Ce4s in this regard. Let me say this, its not terrible. There is not liquid running out the bottom of these, but to say they don't leak a little would be being dishonest in my reviews. The second part is how easy it is to change the coils. With the T2 I always took out the coil, soaked the tank and cap in alcohol for a day or two, then let it air dry and go back into the rotation. With the T3S you just turn it upside down and unscrew the bottom, unscrew the old coil, screw in a new one, swab out the air hole, and screw it back on. I think it is more efficient as long as the coils last similar time-frames. 5. Cost of use: This is where there is not a lot of difference on the surface but as time goes on I can see either one having the advantage here. Up front costs are similar, in the neighborhood of $5 with one coil. The coils for the T2 are $2 and for the T3S are $1.39 so there is a difference there but not huge given how long they should last. I believe the T3S in the long run will be more efficient. I cannot count how many half tanks of liquid I have poured out of my T2s when a coil blows. It seems to ruin the whole tank and even if not, most comes out when you try to pull soaked wicks out and replace with new ones. That's why I gave up on even trying this with the T2s. With the T3S if I blow a coil I can replace it and continue to use the liquid in the tank. You can also buy replacement bases with the T3S ($2.50) but cannot buy replacement lids for the T2 (That I am aware of) and I have had a couple of them get the threads messed up and this renders them "spare parts". Bottom line is I like both these units for different reasons. I am planning to continue using the T3S as my daily driver for now but will not ever be bummed out at all I have with me is a T2. They both are great delivery devices. I just love finally being able to vape a whole tank of liquid with no drop-off in flavor or taste without having to top them off all the time. For a total noob, I would probably recommend the T2 over the T3S due to the ease of filling and lack of maintenance. I would give a slight advantage overall to the T3S head to head with the T2 as long as you dont mind a little maintenance and an occasional leak. I know there are ways to fix them, add wicks, rebuild, etc... but that's not me. I want to buy something and it work and for me it does, but there are definitely minor leaking issues similar to but not as bad as my experience with CE4s. This is my first non-liquid review so please, be gentle lol.

I'm not gonna do a complete rundown on the UD AGI (unless someone has questions, of course), but I will say that in Genesis mode, this is my favorite RBA to date. It's not the easiest to set up (that honor goes to my AGA-T2), but it's not too difficult, and it does have the best draw and performance of any of my RBAs. I haven't set it up as an RDA because I don't like being unable to see how much juice is left inside the juicers I use, so I can't really speak to that. It looks easy enough to do however, and it is nice to know that if you're into dripping, you have that option. I'll be giving the AGI a good workout over the coming weeks, and will post the results, but for now, I'll just say that this is a great little genny. My Youde AGI on a KTS+ mech mod

I searched, but couldn't find this topic anywhere. I apologize if it already exists. This is my everyday carry (EDC): The small case on the left goes in my pocket. It contains: 1 x 900 mAh Vision Spinner 2 x T2 1 x T3S 1 x usb ego charger 1 x small bottle of juice The large case on the right usually stays in my car, unless it's very hot outside. It contains the following: 4 x isopropyl alcohol wipes (from first aid kit) 3 - 4 x paperclips (example: pull the center posts up when the backup batteries won't charge, NOT THE Spinners, a few other uses) 1 x usb wall charger 4 x q-tip (I moisten them with the isopropyl alcohol wipes to clean battery/charge threads) 1 x bread tie 2 x T3S replacement heads 2 x T2 replacement heads 1 x Iclear 16 replacement head 1 x iclear 16 (backup to the backups) 1 x backup usb ego charger 2 x ego 650 mAh batteries (these were my original batteries, now just backups) 1 x 2600 mAh rechargable battery pack ( used for charging cell phones. I was thinking of using it as a last resort to charge my Spinners if there was no other available power source. I'm not 100% sure how safe it is to use this for that purpose. ...maybe somebody with experience will chime in) 1 x micro usb cable (used to charge battery pack) Also pictured is a T3S on a Vision Spinner 900 that I keep attached to a lanyard. Well, that's my EDC. Now that I see it written down, I feel like it's a little overkill. ....better safe than sorry.

Not sure that animal exists. You might also want to read in reference to the "dry herb" talk.

Found this a while ago on a forum. Very easy to reference when you want your ohms as exact as possible. This shows your ohms per inch of different gauge wires.

No they are all ready to vape. Here is a pic. I have found some flavors taste better on different batteries so usually I grab the whole unit out and just start vaping when I change flavors.

Do you fill them up and put them in your case or do you bring them along and fill them up as you need them? I have never carried them already filled up because I thought they would leak out in my case being bounced around in my purse. That would be nice though if all you have to do is take it out of the case and put it on the battery.

Uma, that is a cute little bag. I wanted to tell you about this great bag I found on Amazon just in case you want something bigger. It is actually a makeup bag. It is Bare Essentials and can you believe it is only $5.99 and free shipping. It holds at least 5 50ml bottles, of juice,along with other stuff in one compartment and has rings on one side that was made to put makeup brushes in but is great for holding all kinds of stuff. I liked it so much I just ordered another one because my inability to control buying all the cool things I see and hear about on here has filled that one up. There is a pink one too but it is smaller and costs a little more. it would be great for you guys too if you can get over having a makeup bag. LOL

Welcome to VaporTalk!!! For more power, you might want to try the eGo Twist or the Vision Spinner. These are loved even by those who have the Tim the Toolman Taylor type mods. Yet they are small, affordable, and great for dialing in to suit your particular flavor or mix. As you're contentedly vaping away at 4.2 instead of 3.3 volts, you'll be able to calmly (ROFLMAO!!! OK, this is not so true, because when the heart sees that mighty fine Mod, all heck breaks loose inside our spirits),.. but, for idealist sakes, you are set up nicely to research calmly for your next new Mod. Best of luck to ya Ain't it great how we go from "Having to have a smoke" to "Having to Have that MOD"!!! I love it!!!!

I use a tiny coin purse with 2 zippered pockets for carrying. It's slightly padded, keeping things nice. The large main pocket holds a 10ml bottle of juice, an extra eGo battery, extra mod batteries. The smaller pocket holds a paper clip, wire, mesh, and extra mouthpiece DT. Here's a photo... it looks huge in the pic, but it's not, it's really small. I also have a few eGo cases full of stuff, and a Volt case (my fave, because it is deeper instead of wider), The iTaste fits inside the eGo case great, complete with charger, extra clearomizers, and even the manual with all the extra languages ripped out of it. These are nice cases, but I do wish they were a bit deeper. But they're great if they're going into pocket instead of purse, that's for sure.

I would go with what you feel your going to enjoy more. At first the money kinda sucks but once you hit that sweet spot... it will start to become a return investment I personally like the idea of the EA over the SVD having read and watched the videos on the page.... it looks like it an insanely awesome mod right out of the box.

Happens to all of us....Had a pear/peach that was fantastic....for about a week. Mtn Dew tasted great for a month... Then went yucky...month later, tasted fine.... Mint seems to help some flavors, caramel helps others..just keep playing....

More than likely your taste buds are slowly coming back, so give the one juice a break for a bit and come back to it later on. Taste buds are a funny thing sometimes

With clearos buy name brand only, I had some no name clearos from a shop about a hour from me and they suck. Either stopped working in a matter of days or they leaked like a water main with a blow out

Smoktek has had some bad rep lately about warranties.

Saw this yesterday, I'd a thrown that thrash out way early...

Personally I have not used them but other members here use them and speak good of them.

I asked about pg/vg because I was taking a different tack with it. If the juice has higher vg or is all vg then it will be thicker and not wick very fast. That meaning you could be drawing faster than the wick is capable of wicking. That would lead to less vapor, less flavor, and more "dry hits". From your description of being able to take a few hits and then it changes it sounds like your getting dry hits and tasting more coil and wick instead of juice. The other possibility is that it's leaking thru the center hole but you would get gurgling and the top of your battery would have juice on it which shorts out the connection between your battery and coil. Just a couple of things to look for....

And women like her always have a support group of enablers that will talk about him like he's the worst person ever and treat her like a little saint! SMH

Ah, not only does he have the patience of a saint, he also has good sense and isn't afraid to use it. That girl needs some tranquilizers. Stat!

There is a pretty good stretch between the coil and the pos. post, but if you begin by fastening the pos. connection first and finish with the neg. connection, there's no problem with top coil hot spots...at least for me. My first (and only) try making a 7/6 28 gauge Kanthal coil was completely successful, and gave me a nice, even red glow across all the wraps, and I ended up with a 1Ω coil. What makes things a little tricky is the ridge around the top deck, which is there for when you're using it as an RDA. Getting your neg. lead under the ground screw with that lip right next to it can be a little difficult.

mix the peach and the banana. They make an awesome smoothi type flavor. I went with 35 drop of banana in a 30 ml mix and 25 drops of peach.

awesome! I almost bought that one... then i got talked out of it! lol! i will be picking one up then since it seems to get rave reviews!

well what percentages are you mixing at? i have tried to let some of them steep and it works a little bit but most of the time i have found that my flavors dont usually come through unless they are potent enough. I like the stronger flavors though.

Kanger is the brand name sheep. Its the kanger T3S here is a link for you http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop?page=shop.product_details&flypage=vmj_color_plus.tpl&product_id=1943&category_id=69

I may have to try the T3s. I totally disdain the copy T3's I had as they leaked and were not precise fitting. Mine both stopped working at all. The T3S is name brand I guess?

I've always been a paranoid pessimist. I over pack for every situation.

I vape at around 8 to 10 watts so I too go through juice and batts at an alarming rate

Imagine your old cartridge perched atop your spinner. Pry off the little end cap. Pull out the stuffing/filler material which holds the juice. It's like a cotton blanket that is just holding all the juice in a pre filled cartridge. You yank all of that out. What you have left is a short tube at the bottom of which is a totally exposed coil in a little shallow "pan". Now take your juice say strawberry fields, and just drip 3 drops right on to the atomizer. Put a drip tip in place of the old cap. It's just press fit with a little o-ring. Fire up the battery and vape those 3 drips directly off the coil. You will get a couple/few hits of just pure direct vape then you will sense that its going dry, loss of vapor and taste. Pull the tip, drop 3 drops of spearmint now, enjoy the vape. Rinse and repeat. (Figurative) Advantages: 1. Really good vapor production 2. Change flavor on the fly 3. Try out new flavors or mixes of your own flavors. 4. Really great flavor 5. In other configurations (other equipment) easy to rebuild coils Disadvantages: 1. Can't do it while you're driving or anything else except maybe watching TV, lol 2. Prone to a little bit of leaking 3. Prone to flooding the coil 4. More trouble than just filling a Clearomizer and taking off This is just a basic dripping method. There are other dripping methods even more sophisticated that I have witnessed others do that produce TONS of flavor and true clouds. They require different gear and are superior, very low resistance, dual coil, etc...

2x 30ml bottles Druid's breath 12mg 70/30 from Greenman and 2 x smaller travel kits! Smaller 650mah batteries and clearo's with chargers and case. I know why they sent two chargers now. One of them didnt work! Nice padded case tho. I can fit my iTastevv/vw in it also!

I ordered mine from Veteran Vaper. I generally default to 2.2 on all my stuff because they are good at both lower and slightly higher voltage.

I got a boge 510 carto, cheap, hugh flavor, excellent taste. It's easy to change flavors with a carto but they are temperamental. easy to flood but almost fool proof delivery device, I like the ease of testing a flavor but some linger for a good while.got to have q tips with you if you have a carto. Back to the original post, did you use the condom method to fill it? The coil sits on the bottom near the threads and if that filler material is dry it would burn it.

That may be an advantage the Spinner has. I can tell when my standard Ego Batteries are getting close to dying and they drop off in performance some but the Spinner always maintains until the light blinks.

Uh, oh....Uma's mad!!! Excuse me while I duck and cover... :p Honestly, this is good reading. I'm learning a lot more about batteries. So, please continue!!

Personally I'm not fond of the dct, they can be messy to fill, lose juice when the carto goes bad because you have to remove it completely from the tank along with all juice. The vivi nova or kanger protank is less hassle, less messy, easier to maintain. As far as the battery I use a ego c twist also variable voltage. Can't really give advice on the battery you are asking about because I know nothing about it.

Yes, you are right about the taste difference. I started my vaping, today, with one of the sample bottles. That USA Tobacco sample bottle was 18mg nicotine. The larger bottle, of the same flavor (purchased separately from the kit), contained 24mg of nic. I had, initially, assumed that they were both the strength. After this first filling is through, I will start on the larger bottle. Starting at the strongest, and working myself down, is (I feel) the way to go to wean myself off of nicotine completely.

That's why I didn't bring it up in my original reviews because I am in the vast minority, but not alone in my dislike for the KPT. I do believe the T2 and T3S deliver better flavor than the Vivi Nova for a better value overall. I have one Mini Nova and one Vivi Nova and I do not really use them anymore either. I think the flavor comes through the T2 and T3S much better. Again, everything is subjective when it comes to "taste" but when it comes to other intangibles like ease of use, maintenance, cost of ownership reviewing can be valuable tools. Just typing this for myself made me realize I will probably use both at times without switching solely to one of the other. Its good to have two choices like that that are so close together. Strawberry Fields, Traditional Tobacco, and Juicy Peach have never tasted as good to me in anything I have used as the T3S but not a huge difference with my minty flavors.

Well, if you don't have any takers I sure would love to have it. I love mine, even better then my Mini Nova and I thought that was impossible. I have never tried the T2s and the T3s that you are talking about. But that is some great information.

To me, the KPT is the worst ranked of all the delivery devices I have tried based on taste alone. I cant review it because of how much I didn't like it, and since most everyone here loves them I am marking it up to personal taste although the person that sent it to me agrees it makes the juice taste like liquid metal. I am most likely in the vast minority and this is why I didn't mention it in this review. I was so excited when it came in the mail, and was a gift from another member and friend here. When I first loaded it with liquid I thought maybe it was just the "new" taste. Then I changed coils and alcohol-Vodka washed it and put in a new coil and the same taste was there at the same level. Its a metallic taste, probably due to the metal mouthpiece, but am going to try and trade my KPT and 10 coils for something of equal value at some point and if I cant most likely I will give it away. I offered it back to the person that gave it to me but they also feel like it gives liquid a, and I quote, "vile" metallic taste and didn't want it back. It has been sitting in a shot glass on my bar for a couple weeks now. It works, looks great, doesn't leak, and is easy to use but if you cannot stand the way it makes things taste its not really fair to review it imo.

Patrica dear, let me know if those juices end up being sweet and usable. I usually want candy sweet but never get anywhere near it.

Excellent info, Uma.
