The little beige thingamajig goes on the 510 pin with the larger end covering the pin head. The larger doodad is the cup for the coil post (looks like a hockey puck with a hole in it and a post with a screw sticking out of it) and they both fit in the deck. Make sure you align the holes in the hockey pucks since the 510 pin threads in the metal part.I'm about to throw the Origen out the window, but thought I'd check here first for assistance. I took the silver pin out, since I'm not using it for squonking. I am unable to get the brass pin in after over 20 attempts. I know that parts aren't optional, but can I forgo using one or both of these parts? I feel it will go in without them. Second question: if I put the silver screw back in can it work for regular vaping?

I have tried over and over again. I got so frustrated yesterday I put it away and am revisiting it today, still no luck, it just won't catch the threads. Maybe this is a sign that I need to try squonking [emoji38]
Eta: the silver pin goes back in fine, so it must be the brass one that's defective

Make sure the screws are the same length... I've heard of FT supplying incorrect hardware.
Yeah, but it's probably their suppliers. let's face it, at the prices they charge, you're not buying a product lovingly assembled and subjected to 3 QC checks before release.
I once got a KF3 mini from them, and it kept leaking no matter what. Took a good look at all the o rings, the threads, it all looked good. Finally looked at the glass and discovered one end was cut on a bias which made getting a seal impossible to accomplish. Someone released that from a factory somewhere like that. That was my second and last try at FT clones (had a problem on another KF5 right before). I love them for all the little odds and ends you struggle to find, but I decided stuff like that wasn't going to work for me. Works for lots of other folks around here, but the vape fairy refused to enchant my clone orders from there.
OTOH, I have 2 Merlins that must have been dusted with vape fairy stuff as neither of them have ever leaked on me. Win some, lose some.
Both screws are the exact same size. So for my sanity, I went ahead and put the silver pin back in. My hands are SO sore from trying to get that damn pin in, I decided it wasn't worth the frustration. And if I do ever try squonking, I now have a tank for it! I'm just glad these lessons I'm learning cost less than lunch. It's not worth messing up my hands any more for the $8 or so I paid for it.

shove a toothpick (or something similiar) in the hole of the squonk pin, and it'll work just fine!
Did you try backing the screw first - like you're unscrewing it, slowly, until you feel a click?
No, I guess I didn't. I'll try that tomorrow. My left thumb is in bad shape from holding down the post while trying to screw it in.
ETA; I ignored the pain and tried that...still not successful

I got a Serpent Mini from FT and never could get the damned thing to work. I don't think the center pin is screwed in all the way. I'm going to send it to a friend and have him drill it out.
I'm so embarrassed. I fell for the $1.97 Kayfun clones, and don't have a clue how they work. Would someone please spell it out for me in simple language. Thank you!
Like, the Kayfun bellcap thing?
nectar doesn't look like fun to build with mesh...
it does remind me of the Corolla though. speaking of which, I need to go buy another one.
but I don't know if I'm manly enough for cotton candy colored.

I think you could pull off the cotton candy look, petro.
Or, you COULD go topless......So, please, do tell. I have a faint interest in this Nectar tank. Is it fairly similar to the Toyota, other than the one single air flow hole and the HUUUUUUUGE fill hole?
I had a 3.1 from ages ago that was gifted to me. I never even tried it til the chatter in this thread about it. I like it muchly, Zen.
Which part(s) are confusing you?
Here's a pic. KF 3.1 on zee left, and V2 on the right.
@Zen Knitter - altho this looks like the tank is about 27 feet tall, it really DOES fit together.
Directions, voila.
Directions, voila.
Thanks for that picture! I took a screenshot of that as I have a couple of these too and have yet to build on them.

Don't be embarrassed .. YouTube it...lot easier to watch it than have to read it... there are many videos on it plus ones to top fill it..here is one, sry kinda long.
Thank you Kat, that is the one. How do you use the wick and wire sent along with it. And which is the fill hole? I feel like an idiot.
Here's a couple I used to get familiarized.
This one seems to have been done by a couple of casting extras from "Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels", (one of my favorite movies, BTW). You can skip in to the 6 minute mark whenever you get tired of them yakking...
I'm sure there are some better vids out there somewhere. These are just the ones I found first.
