Hi All, just a bit of a warning regarding the Kanger T3.
I and several other Vapers have been having problems with the Kanger T3 leaking when the juice level gets down to about 1ml.
Both the 2 T3`s I purchased worked great but at about 1ml of juice left in the tank , they were starting to gurgle and when I unscrewed the tank from the battery, the well was full of juice. I would clean it, refil and it would be fine but again at low juice level it would gurgle and leak again. After much deliberation I think I have found the cause.
The lower amount of juice allows the tank to heat up from the heat of a hand causing expansion within the tank and forcing the juice down through the bottom wick, which of course would not happen with a top coil attie like the CE4.
Maybe when the tank is full with juice it is not so susceptible to tempreture increase from the hand!
This evening, I had a half filled Kanger T3 and put some tissue up were the battery connects and is as dry as a bone, nothing being absorbed by the tissue. I just held the T3 in my hand and within 20 seconds it has started dripping out of the bottom.
My first leak that I had was when driving and my Ego with T3 was in my inside coat pocket, I kept smelling Choc Mint Chip Ice Cream as the tank was leaking due to the increased pressure inside the tank caused by body heat. Well thats my theory anyway. If anyone has a better reason as to why the T3 leaks, please chip in and I will be suitably embarrassed by my above micro-rant.

leaking you say? I would normally attribute that to holes.

Ive just started with the bottom fead kanger t3 myself after seeing a review by Tod he thinks they are a great bit of kit which is why i switched from the ce5, but he also came to the same conclusoin that it gurgles a bit when it low on juice , solution dont let it get too low as it holds 3ml.
