Another V3 lover here. I use the 1.8ohm heads and hav'nt had any probs. wash and dry burn twice then binsville. At £2.50 a head, it's not worth (IMO) rewicking.

I've got four v3s, three work perfectly all the time but one of them has all the problems that Bluefish is having with his. What tim says about the threaded drip tip needing to sit square is very important as the one that refuses to work has a drip tip that has been threaded badly. However much fiddling and adjusting I do it just won't fit flush and this causes leaks, gurgles etc. I hope Jason at VapeEscape will be getting some spares in soon so I can sort it out.

I have had mine for a couple of weeks nearly and three fills have been fine,the last I ran into the same problems some of you have,the difference (or so it seems at the moment) is I used quite thick juices the first few times,where as on the last one I decided to get rid of some freeby orange,I did everything had the juice back out,blew everything through etc etc.
What I have noticed and I think maybe/maybe not is the problem is the amount of wick,fill it to the 1.6 level,leave it and half or more of the tank can appear empty,so you top it,but usually over top it,because there is still 1.6 ml in there but the wicks have soaked it up,well long story short I am going to play around with the V3 over the next week and test my theory out,for now I suggest,one initial fill,dont top up till its almost empty,then dont fill it right up,if it gurgles,take it off the battery blow it through and then a few good sucks till you get it going again.

I have been using them since Jason dropped them onto the website so a month i am guessing, only problem i have is a little bit of juice gets onto the battery at the top, but I clean that regularly and in all honesty out of the 6 I own they are still working perfectly, I use three of them daily have done since i got them all still working fine, that's with constant refilling, I clean them once a week if their lucky lol

No problems with mine either, when I fill it I use a spiky thing. Juice in mouth now and again ( rarely) I unscrew the top, screw it back on, job done. I have about 6 with about 12 spare heads waiting and 4 bases. My concern is the rubber seals seem to be disintegrating, wondering what can be used to replace them. Yes I know the bases aren't dear but why replace the base if a seal can be found.

Also you need to check that the plastic tank part has not pulled away from the chrome collar like this: It should be snug like this:

I finished the orange from Paradise vape and it was persistent in gurgling no matter what I did apart from only put a tiny bit in the bottom,I then filled it with TW blended Virginia and like the 3 first juices I had in its working fine again,pretty sure this is a type of juice or the amount the wicks hold problem,will need another botle of orange now to replicate the problem,what were others using when they got this ?
