My wife uses these designer bedazzled 650s I got her and they burn at 4.2 and last about 18 hours. I have been amazed how long they last especially the way she vapes lol.

Red is Strawberry Fields, Blue is Candy Cane, Green is Spearmint, Yellow is Traditional Tobacco, and clear is Juicy Peach. Now that I have used the T3S for a few days I plan to kill some time at work tomorrow posting a complete comparison review of the T2 vs the T3S. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. -
LOL I thought something else was wrong, I wasnt getting a hit. I have my lanyard on so the button is somewhat concealed. I unscrewed the tank, rescrewed it on, was like WTF?. Then I realized my battery was blinking dead. DUH

Not really sensitive to metals, hell when I was smoking analogs and had to go outside I would catch myself with a paper clip in my mouth when it had been a while since a trip outside. Now I vape at my desk so I chew on less paper clips lol. -

Dude without the Qtips I wouldn't know what to do lol. Aquatroy turned me on to them with filling the KPT and the same theory holds true for the T3S. Makes it so much easier. Plus I can swab out the condensation form the tip. I started keeping them when I was using leaky CE4s that I had to blow out 3-4 times a day. I use them a lot less after switching to Kangers that rarely if ever leak. -
Updated with the new color coded T3S's. In there are 5 Kanger T3S filled with Strawberry Fields, Spearmint, and Candy Cane all from Vapedudes and Juicy Peach and Traditional Tobacco from Sweet-Vapes. All 24mg and either 70-30 or 80-20. I keep two EgoT 1000mah, two Ego mini 400mah, and one of my Spinners (for when I want Tobacco flavor, I prefer the 1000mah over the spinner for all other flavors). Always have 2-3 replacement coils and the stock of Q-Tips for cleaning up a refill or condensation out of the mouthpiece. Just finished filling tanks and packing my case for the lake tonight and tomorrow. If it would only hold my charger..... Scouts Motto: Be Prepared!

In the topcoil T2s I was getting about 2 weeks out of a coil, sometimes less. I changed coils any time I noticed any burned taste. Never really tried to clean one, just pop in a new coil. Just switched to bottom coil T3S's yesterday from the T2s and I like them a lot, but two out of the ten I filled had bad coils that flooded. No biggie, just popped in a replacement coil and no problems since. Not sure how long they will last but I am sure the correct answer is "it depends". I switch flavors 3-4 times a day to keep it fresh. I do not notice the flavor getting less as the tank gets lower, it just seems my tastebuds will get used to it. I have 5 full tanks in my case almost all the time. Just my 2 cents, but I think Kanger makes better delivery systems than Vision. The T2 and T3S both are superior in my eyes to the CE4. I am not a ProTank fan because of the metallic taste caused by the metal mouthpiece (I suppose thats what causes it). The only leak I have had ever with any Kanger product were these two that came with bad coils but once I replaced them they vape like a champ! -

I love walking out of my office and someone sees me vaping in the showroom that I work with. Almost 100% of the time they thought I was smoking "something else" lol. -
I only had that issue on two of the coils that came with the units, the other 8 perform fine. Once I replaced those two they work fine with no leaking or flooding so far. Time will tell. As of right now I prefer them to the T2s and even the KPT.
-
I have now vaped a tank of Strawberry Fields from top to bottom with no leaking. The only complaint I have so far is out of the 10 I filled 2 of them came with bad coils. I am saying bad coils, because they both flooded on the first fill. I replaced the coil and they both have been fine. On one of them I tried to "blow it out" like with a CE4 but about a half a ml of liquid shot out the bottom. Once I replaced those two coils I havent had any more leaking and I have used them all at least some. Will keep everyone advised if leaking becomes any sort of issue.

I have several batteries but in my collection are two Ego Mini 400mah. I got them from Sweet-Vapes.com for about $10. They are small, very small, but last me 7-8 hours per charge and only take about 2 hours to fully charge. My Kanger T2s and my new favorite T3S are larger than the battery. I added the small ones to my collection to have something cheap I could take on the lake on weekends and take chances with around water and in the water that I wouldn't want to do with my other larger more expensive batteries. I love the way they perform and the stainless look is pretty cool as all my others are rubberized black. They run about 3.5v and seem to hold that all the way through the battery life cycle.
-
I am going to be in the minority saying this, but after vaping a few tanks out of my KPT I am not a huge fan. It might be better on a mod than my spinners and stock ego batteries but there is still a distinct taste I cannot get over. With that said, it made me realize how much I like the bottom coil style and after vaping about a half a tank out of one of my new T3S's I can already tell they are vastly better than the T2 long wick and do not have the bad metallic taste I get from the KPT.
-
First impression is wow. Not sure I don't prefer these to KPT! The T2s will most likely become a backup very soon. Only used them for a little while but taste and vapor production are definitely better than the T2 out of the box. Only remaining question for me is durability. Definitely a little more difficult to fill than T2 but so far that's the only thing I would give the T2 an advantage in. Definitely looking forward to not wasting the bottom half of some liquids anymore!

T3S's just arrived, cant wait to get home and try one! Sweet-Vapes rocks, ordered Wednesday at 4pm, arrived Friday at 2pm standard $3 shipping! -
Its a 100ml order flavor for me for sure. Actually thats all I order anymore lol. Spearmint, Candy Cane, and Strawberry Fields. I get extra flavor in the first two but the Strawberry is fine as is.
-
Tam I have never steeped any non tobacco juice I think it's good right out of the package.
-
I just ordered some T3S's and they look good. Bottomfeeder just like KPT but hold 2.4ml. I have a KPT and I like it ok but not enough to buy any more, the one I have was a gift. Been using T2s but have noticed I have to keep them completely full or some liquids don't want to climb the wick good enough to keep it from tasting kinda nasty so I have to swirl.
-
I am so impatient, I want my bottom feeding T3S's I ordered to be here today instead of Saturday lol. I cannot wait to compare. I have a feeling, based on the way the KPT works, that I am going to like the bottom feeders better than these top coil T2s. Maybe I can actually finish a tank of Strawberry Fields.
-
Thats what I did and the qtip was black. I am used to cleaning them every time I charge them as a habit, but I must have missed this one too. As I continue to vape this I am increasingly convinced that I just so happened to blow a coil when I first fired up the freshly charged battery and thought there was something wrong. The residual taste was still on the battery when I put on the fresh tank. All is well now!
-
Which is why my KPT stays at home lol. Thing is I have tile and hardwood throughout so a drop at home would most likely be fatal as well.
-
Thanks Uma. I wasn't sure, and to be honest now everything seems fine on the tank I have on there now. Gone through about a half a ml with no more funky taste. Maybe it was just coincidence that I popped the coil on the first draw once putting it on the newly charged battery because the taste is still there on the other battery. Going to play it by ear and see what happens. I may have jumped the gun on the post, I just have never noticed any black particles floating around in my liquid but that could just be dirt as I have filled my tanks in all sorts of places and have never really examined them closely. I could have gotten something in there when I changed the coil since my "vape gear maintenance area" is very near my wifes "coffee grinding area". If it does it again its history, I have a bunch of back ups now. I am also second guessing whether it is just the taste of the coil going out and not wicking very well, gonna change that when I get home. After using the KPT a while the top feeding T2s definitely have a different sort of taste. Looking forward to getting my T3S package Saturday to try the bottomfeeders exclusively for a while.

Sheepdog that is where I am too. Now that I know what I like I am good. I have the bases covered: All Day Vapes are Spearmint and Candy Cane from VapeDudes, occasional fruit vapes are Strawberry Fields from VapeDudes and Juicy Peach from Sweet-Vapes and my one tobacco flavor (for drinking) is Traditional Tobacco from Sweet-Vapes. To be honest most of the flavors I see are those that I probably wouldnt like. All the coffees, cake batter, vanilla, and sweet flavors are not my cup of tea. I eventually want to try one of the soft drink flavors like Dr Pepper or Mtn Dew but outside those I can go through every flavor most sites have at this point and all sound kinda "meh" to me. Now I digress to say a few months from now who knows. The first time I tried Spearmint I was like OMG Thats a Menthol!!!! but after a few more vapes I realized it was almost exactly like doublemint gum lol. Our tastebuds change drastically after dumping the analogs. I even like food now I would have never liked before and do not like a lot of things I used to. I would have rather taken a punch from Mike Tyson than eat a stalk of celery when I smoked, but now, I love it in and on about everything. The last thing I expected when quitting analogs was that my taste for food and drink would change as drastically as it has.

Yea the problem is many of their first experiences are when a news story of a battery exploding hits the air waves like the new post in Health and Safety sub forum. Its just like anything else, the story about the millions of people living healthier lifestyles now never gets told, but let one battery explode from being charged improperly and its all over the news. -
Not to question you, but isnt it the nicotine that dehydrates you, not the PG? That's what I always thought. I never had this issue and use 70-80% PG liquids but have had some dehydration issues especially in situations when I drink a considerable amount of alcohol.
-
The common theme of every battery exploding story is either charging in an automobile or from a PC. I have never read anything about this happening when using a wall charger.
