    2 Broken Vamo V5 in 2 weeks and I need some help/advice

    Here's how I fixed my vamo: I use the clone kanfun lite with the vamo v5. My wife dropped hers several times. I had a 510 to 510 adapter (ego threaded, also). That worked. On my setup, it must be poor vamo AND poor kayfun. I've seen that adapter everywhere, they are ≈$3.00. You could even...

    Kayfun leaker

    I never thought to remove the mouthpiece and look. Sure enough, I see some of the o-ring thru the hole. So when I top fill, screwing the top back down mis-aligns the ring. Now what? I'll try to back the top off a couple of threads and re-seat the o-ring. Maybe use the bottom fill only (not...

    Kayfun leaker

    I think theres no fixing these kayfun lite clones. Today, I removed the chimney o-ring, replaced with the spare o-ring that came with the $50.00 unit. No change, same senario: leaks thru the air hole until proper vacuum acieved. I'm thinking about stuffing two o-rings in the top cap. I...

    Kayfun leaker

    It just stops leaking after drawing on them awhile. Is it that gulf moisture coming up from the south? I'm sure I fill too high, I'll take that suggestion and fill just pass the glass.

    Kayfun leaker

    I keep all three kfl filled. I'm actually getting burn hits from the real one. Shoot, I prefer the clones today! I tried a different build: I ran the coil wrap perpendicular to the post screws, whereas I previously ran the wrap in-line with the screws. I cut the ends shorter, just long...

    Kayfun leaker

    I filled the fasttech kfl for the first time, stood it up on its end and went for a walk. When I came back every drop was gone. I thought "oh man, I've bought some crap". I've read countless articles, numerous videos. That's how I finally got it right. I checked out that Tobeco...

    Kayfun leaker

    So I'll talk to myself, share my finding w/fasttech kayfun lite users: I stuck with the top fill, but covered the air hole with my thumb. I screwed the top cap ALMOST tight (still holding the air hole) and turned it upside down until I saw the air pocket completely shift. Tighten the top...

    Kayfun leaker

    I've been using the fasttech kayfun lite for three weeks. After filling, regardless of top or bottom fill, I'll get the juice to escape until the pressure "gets right". After a few minutes the leak stops. Through the forum I've tried all suggestions. Watched youtube videos regarding top till...

    Kayfun Lite Leaks

    I use kanthal 32 ga. 3mm wick. 4-40 screw to wrap the coil. I'm a recovering Kanger T-3 user; those items worked great for rebuilding the T-3's. I said "no leak" yesterday, in fact do leak. I am cutting the wick pretty long, it may be the problem. I noticed that when I filled, it would...

    Kayfun Lite Leaks

    I'll try that. I did do something different, based on this pic. I wrapped 10X coils, whereas I used to do 6. It came out to 5 ohms, I'm normally around 3. Worked good.

    Kayfun Lite Leaks

    I'm one week into the Fasttech kayfun lites: they've quit leaking. The two thing I did differently from the first fill was raise the coil WAY above the airhole and only fill to the top of the glass. Goodbye Kanger T-3'S............

    Kayfun Lite Leaks

    Alright, I'll do that. Maybe I'm packing too much wick? I think I may have filled too much, now I'm filling until it reaches the top of the window. Fennario TN? Dad born/died in Dyserburg. Small town U.S.A.

    Kayfun Lite Leaks

    My latest rebuild seems o.k. I wrap the wire w/ a 4-40 screw, 3mm silica wick. This time I left the winding WAY above the airhole, about 1/8". I've stood it up for 5 minutes, it's holding. I've seen some rebuild with the winding perpendicular to the posts. This latest one is in-line with...

    Kayfun Lite Leaks

    I cut the wick 3/8" long and pushed the wick just below the threads on the chimney tube; I'm confident the channels aren't blocked. The top o-ring (black in color) has a groove cut in the tube, and that groove is cut up into the tube (≈.1"). The groove is wider than the o-ring, its not a snug...

    Kayfun Lite Leaks

    I bought two kayfun lites from fasttech. I threw away the wick assembly that came with the unit and made my own. I stood it up and left for 20 minutes, every drop ran out. I read about the issue and did everything suggested. My second rebuilt was well above the airhole, still leaked a...

    Anyone here used fasttech.

    I've bought both the Vamo v3 and v5 from fast tech. Perfect! My first vamo was bought from vaporbeast.com last fall, still working. I tried the V3 from fasttech, bought 4 months ago. Just as good ($32.00) as the stateside unit ($80.00). The U.S. unit did have some cheap batteries and puny...

    Anyone ever shopped at sweet leaf vapor?

    I bought their sweet leaf liquid. Haven't received it yet, sorry. Posted on their facebook, they seem like a good group. I'll let you know as soon as I try it. What was it you were waiting on from fastech? Hardware, liquid?
