    Kayfun v5 on Temp control

    lol! Honestly, sometimes I think I do it just to play with the torch, but I do like the results too. ...so win/win? :)

    Kayfun v5 on Temp control

    It is big, but doesn't touch anything it's not supposed to. I like a lot of wick. When I set my coil in, I set it at an angle with one leg going directly under the screw head on each side. I pull the tail against the screw post and under the little "keeper/prong" next to the screw. I have a...

    Kayfun v5 on Temp control

    Yea, its already around a 3mm rod, so it's a big coil. I don't like it springing out to 3.5-4.0mm after wrapping. I use the coiling jig that's popular from the craft stores. Even with tension I can't keep it from springing out unless I torch it first. It's not necessary, but after trying it...

    Kayfun v5 on Temp control

    I can vouch for the KF5 on TC as well. Its all I use now. Excellent vape, and TC keep my puffs a smooth temp no matter how long or short I inhale. Honestly, I tried to go back to wattage mode for a while and couldn't do it. TC is very stable on the KF5, in my opinion. I use SS316L almost...

    DNA 133 not holding a profile

    @Eskie @OhTheAgony @Dubminer It took a while for me to get around to it, but I reassembled the KF5, and its been vaping great for about 48hrs now. I have no idea at all what went wrong with it, but I have a theory. If you recall, all the insulators were fine but something was certainly wrong...

    DNA 133 not holding a profile

    Haha, yes indeed, the Therion being ok is a major relief. I suppose something could have become loose, or maybe shifted when it fell. Small connection issues can cause major TC problems in my experience. I suppose it just could have been something not readily visible, or something that...

    DNA 133 not holding a profile

    I may need to get out a magnifying glass and really inspect these then.

    DNA 133 not holding a profile

    @Eskie @OhTheAgony @Dubminer We'll, I've taken it apart down to the bones, and I can't find anything wrong. See the picture. It shows parts #2, #7, and #12. Big #9 made it into the shot as well, but doesn't matter. I don't even see a hairline crack on these parts. I don't see any broken or...

    DNA 133 not holding a profile

    Lol, well... I really like the KF5 and I believe in redundancy I guess. On it. Sounds like a plan. Probably won't get to it until this weekend, but I'll report back what I find. Sorry to hear about your CF4, Eskie. Hopefully that'll be salvageable.

    DNA 133 not holding a profile

    So it started having the same issues again, but this time on profile 4. Bear with me. After much fiddling I decided to just consider the Therion broken, so I put my KF5 on my Hcigar VT75 and ... I had immediate problems! I couldn't set the temp over ~230F or it was cooking. I checked the...

    DNA 133 not holding a profile

    That was my thought too. These profiles are probably all stored on one chip. I can't wrap my head around how this happened. Software burp is as good a description as any. As long as it keeps working, I'm happy though. Oh, and it's since gone to sleep, woken up and been fine too. So that's...

    DNA 133 not holding a profile

    Fixed (I think). Once I got home from work I did some more testing. I setup a different profile slot (4) to my 316L settings, and it worked perfectly. Pulling and replacing the batteries caused no problem. The old profile slot (5) continued to show the same symptoms. As before, the settings...

    DNA 133 not holding a profile

    So my dna took a drop last night from a night stand, all of 2-1/2 feet, and today it won't hold my profile. I have a profile setup on slot 5 for SS316L, and when in use I have it set to show the profile name "316L" at the bottom of the display and I normally vape around 480F. Now it's just...

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    This looks too good to pass up. What clone would you guys recommend that works great out of the box (after a good washing)? I ask because I've only had authentics to this point. Well, I had one clone years and years ago, but it came covered in machine oil, the parts fit together poorly, and...

    DNA167 mods

    That is very handsome. If I didn't just buy a 133, I'd be looking at this myself.

    Need a new SS capable tc mod

    I adjust temp to suit. After nearly driving myself crazy, I finally accepted that with SS, the TCR is so low that I just ignore what "temp" the device says I'm at. It doesn't know, not really. I treat the controls like a shower knob, up is warmer, down is cooler! Lol.

    Hcigar vt133 or therion dna133 Which to get?

    That's ... awesome. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

    Need a new SS capable tc mod

    Have to agree with everyone here. DNA is a solid way to go. One thought though, be prepared to adjust your dialing on your dialed in RDA. I find that I have to tweak things even going between a DNA 75 and a DNA 133. This seems especially true with SS with its poor TCR. Not a biggie.
