I filled mine for the second time last night, not one bit of gurgling or flooding. I use the wicks that are bought though, I suspect the problem is somewhere between 100% VG liquid and the rebuilding process. Using the standard wicks and 70-30 liquid I have no issues.

This exact reason is why I haven't spent the money. I break things, a lot, like everything I touch that is smaller than a rod and reel and I am pretty hard on those too lol. I thought I saw KPT replacement tanks in several places. I could be wrong, have you checked the Marketplace yet?

OMG the smell of a smoker now is borderline repulsive, and I mean that in a nice way because I smelled that way for 27 years. I just never realized it. Now that my wife has stopped and can smell the same thing, I am confident she will never pick up an analog again unless our government decides to ban it or something stupid.

The only clearo-tank I have ever had that never flooded is the Kanger T2 and (so far) the Pro Tank although I have only had it a couple days. Conversely, everything I have had that was a Vision product has flooded from time to time requiring them to be blown out.

Mine spent most of the day laying on its side. I never stand my batteries up on end due to how likely it is they get knocked over. Never have I had a Kanger T2 flood, we will see about the KPT but like I said it is my "at home" delivery device right now only. The price would have to come down some before I would see them becoming my every day delivery device. I break things that are made of glass or pyrex. A guy at a local "accessory" shop said another type of delivery device for another thing said the pyrex pipes were unbreakable and I am on about my 12th one lol.

I am still on my first tank of liquid so my experience is limited, but these are my first impressions. Its all I used all day and night yesterday. There is DEFINITELY a difference in the quality of the taste between this and my normal T2s.
-
Not sure about the missing part, but the gurgling sound means you have liquid in your air hole through the coil. Put a Qtip loosely against the opening on the bottom and blow out the excess liquid, swab it all off to get it as dry as you can, and you should be good to go. It happens with every delivery device at some point.

Now that I have gotten and used a KPT I do not see what all the fuss is about with the "airy draw". I think it is damn near perfect for me. Positives: Liquid tastes fresh when it burns, definitely a cleaner taste than anything else I have tried Huge Vapor even though I use 70-30 and 80-20 mixes exclusively Great Throat Hit Awesome looks on my spinner 1300mah Easy to fill, can change coils without emptying tank, cheap coil replacements Negatives: Very heavy when on a lanyard my 1300mah hangs almost horizontal Cost of unit Easier to break than my T2s I have been using exclusively Makes a much louder noise when taking a draw than anything else I have used (not necessarily negative but worth mentioning) Bottom line for me is I love it, BUT I am not ready to make it my main delivery device. I have several batteries and my KPT will be my "at home" device for now and my T2s will still be my "on the go" devices. As hard as I am on batteries being a boater and outdoorsman I think I would break these in no time if I used them on the go. When I am at home, my case I carry around will never be used though. The KPT is by far the best delivery device I have used to date but has portability issues.

Welcome to VT! If I had started vaping with Dekang, I would be back on analogs by now. It is some vile vile stuff. By far the two best (not cheapest) suppliers of all those I have tried are VapeDudes.com and Sweet-Vapes.com out of the dozens of suppliers I have tried. They are the only two I will order from again. Keep in mind each taste is different but I have found that the price of the liquid is directly relative to the quality at least in my experience. People rave about Mount Baker Vapors and I am not a fan, and I am sure there are some that may not be a fan of what I like. It truly is an individual experience. I have not tried ECblends but mainly because I am done experimenting. I order mine now in 100ml bottles and after MUCH testing I have found what I like. My flavors are Spearmint (70-30 24mg xtra flavor) from VapeDudes Candy Cane (70-30 24mg extra flavor) from VapeDudes Strawberry Fields (70-30 24mg std flavor) from VapeDudes Traditional Tobacco (80-20 24mg std flavor) from Sweet-Vapes (By far the closest thing to an analog of all those I have tried)

My wife was the same way, and I never put any conditions on her quitting. It was my decision alone to give it up and after 2 packs a day for 27 years this was my first attempt and am approaching 90 days analog free! She started to get interested because she saw how much better I felt, stopped taking the anti anxiety meds I had been on for years, and overall was a happier person. The wrinkles around my eyes have gotten noticeably smaller, almost disappeared all together. She finally said, ok Im gonna try it and now she has stopped taking her daily sinus meds. Our son no longer coughs like...ever. We never smoked right around him or in a vehicle with him but nonetheless, he has stopped coughing. I cannot even put into words what switching to vaping has done for me and my family. Even my cardiologist applauded me for switching and was happy to let me vape in my hospital bed while having some follow up tests done before taking me off blood pressure medicine all together.

Bump Everytime You Buy Something New

Just got in two designer batteries for my wife from Sweet-Vapes. They are EgO 650mah and are bedazzled lol. One is "purple fade" and one is "pink wide stripe" and I know she is gonna love them. They also run at 4.2v standard and thats her sweet spot. I also got myself 2 400mah Ego minis to use on the lake and when in and around the water. If they get wet, they were only $8 lol. Got a KPT as a gift from a forum member, much appreciated, and I love it but will be my at home thing as it is too heavy and clunky to haul around everywhere but has the best taste and hit of anything I have tried. -
This thread shows what I started with. I have added several things since, but it details the whys and whats of my starting kit. Happy to answer any questions.

My wife and I doing it together helped for sure, but she still smoked analogs occasionally until she found a flavor and nic level (24mg for us with 70-30 or 80-20 blend for throat hit) she could vape all day and love it. Once she found that, we both have said many times we prefer our e-cig to analogs and would have done this a long time ago had we known. The only time I had trouble at first was on the lake where everyone is floating around our boats with analogs hanging out of their mouth and I have to climb back onto my boat to hit my e-cig. I solved that by buying a few cheap $8 400mah Ego minis that I take in the water and if they get wet, then so what it was $8. It was a lot tougher on her and I both when we started because we ordered 50-50 flavors in 16 or 18mg nic. Once we upped the PG and increased to 24mg liquid neither of us have really wanted an analog. Tobacco flavor for me was key at first, and I found a good one. Now I only use that because Spearmint, Peppermint, and Strawberry taste weird with bourbon and when drinking. More PG and 24mg nic is what I would suggest. Some of my make friends also had a complex about it looking funny. I could care less about that, but some found it "less than manly" to say the least. There could be some of that going on. There is definitely a "this doesnt feel like a cigarette" to get over at first but once you do, that generally gets overridden by the fact you can do it almost anywhere.

Yea its more how it fits in my case. I keep 3-4 filled T2s in my case at all times to switch throughout the day, and 2-3 batteries "just in case". My case will not zip **** without putting serious tension on the KPT and I know that cannot be good for it. I may end up changing my mind, it looks great on my Spinner 1300mah and I can definitely taste a more crisp flavor and get a better hit, but it wasnt the scale of improvement over the T2 that would make me switch completely just yet. For example Monday night and Tuesday on my boat my battery and T2 hit the deck 3 times, twice popping the top off my T2. (Yes I had been drinking). I am fairly certain that would have busted the KPT lol. I stopped wearing my lanyard all the time at the lake after almost jumping in with it a few times. I keep it in the shade under a towel to keep it cooler. All in all, I love it. The taste and hit are way better than the T2.

I finally got one to try and am amazed at the vapor production over anything else I have used right out of the box. I am more of a "feel" guy than visual so I am not too worried about the vapor even though with 70-30 it looks like a cloud coming out of my mouth with this Pro-Tank. I may order one more. The only "downside" I have found is the lack of portability, weight, and fragile nature of the tank itself. I am gonna make my KPT my "at home device" and still use the T2s when "on the go". It also is much "louder" when I hit it, I can hear it cooking the liquid a lot more than my T2s. I would say it produces 50% more vapor and throat hit than my T2s do. I like it, everything but the aforementioned things. I am seriously

FDA to release "deeming" regulations October 2013
bcartervol98 replied to Christopher's topic in General Vape News
I wonder if a flavor like "Spearmint" or "Peppermint" would be considered a banned flavor or a menthol variant? -
VapeDudes "Strawberry Fields" is one of my top three flavors. The Strawberry from Sweet-Vapes is great as well. The difference to me was the Strawberry Fiekds is like a real strawberry and the one from Sweet-Vapes is more like a strawberry candy. Both great in their own ways.

W00t! Six Months Analog Free!
bcartervol98 replied to CascadianExotics's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Congrats! Approaching my 3 month mark and never felt better. -
This has been my experience as a whole. I either liked them at first or never will. I liked the Traditional Tobacco out of the box but the flavor profile changed greatly with a 2 week steep. Other than that the vile flavors stayed vile and the good flavors were still good.
-
Gonna be trying one out tonight thanks to a certain forum member that sent me one out of the blue! Thanks "You know who you are"!
-
I have never steeped a non tobacco juice I didnt like and had it taste better afterward, usually it is the taste I didnt like amplified. The one exception is Sweet-Vapes traditional tobacco. It was like a different flavor all together after a 2 week steep.

My Spinner just died. I broke it out Saturday night at about 9pm and lasted till about 5 minutes ago. I must vape less than some. I canot even kill my standard Ego type 1000mah batteries inside a 24 hour period lol.
