How much more "real" do you need, when the parts fit?
This BT-804 is just a teaser, isn't it? I love the vape on it, but filling and those easily lost pins are a pain. I also love the Term-C and Ithaka. Just pre-ordered the 91%. Only next step is to get the real thing :sigh:
Ooops, u shouldn't have IMHO. There's hardly any price difference between the R-91% (€56.70)and the 'real' K-Lite (€62.98).

Have you tried plugging the mouthpiece hole and filling from the bottom? I don't spill a drop that way but I never could master filling from the top.
yes actually i did, plugged it and bottom filled it still flooded and leaked, but probably mainly my fault. i think i over filled it. i'll still probably use it, just not often as i would if it wasn't such a PITA
Maximus (Max) is his name. and I'm going to look into that method u mentioned...I had initially always flooded it too, wasted a lot of juice. But lately got a hang of it... I plug both, the air-hole as well as the 510 post, while top filling and just with a half turn of the top cap inverse it before tightening it fully. That has worked better, though there's yet some juice in the bottom 'holding chamber', but never thru the mouthpiece anymore.
BTW, I think I'll try JD1's bottom feeding method in the next fill-run. Hope it'd eliminate the overflow syndrome completely. And yes, I'm still vaping it strong (as of now, while writing too) and am yet satisfied with this inexpensive buy!

I've developed a good eyeball for how much juice to use on the short tank models I have (about 1/3rd of distance to top). When you screw the bottom back on, keep an eye on the channel area. The juice should push up just short of the channels. If juice isn't stopping short of the channels, empty some until it does. I sometimes get a gurgle or two that disappears with a few puffs, but most usually I don't.
If you have a small syringe (1mm, I think), check to see if the plunger will almost fit the top hole. If it comes close then it's probably the right size to trim the lip at the very end for a good fit. I trim the lip with fingernail clippers and cut the shaft about an inch back for a handy little stopper.
I take the top off the juice bottle first, then leaving the 804 on the mod, remove the drip tip and put in the stopper, turn it upside down and grasp the base of the 804, unscrew the tank and put it in my left hand also, fill it 1/3rd full, rescue the mod out of my left hand and screw it down into the tank, making sure I don't flood the channels, pop out the stopper, pop in the drip tip and fog the room. I can do it almost as fast as typing all this out lol.
If I had the coins I'd probably spring for a 91% also, but remember that it has a fill screw, as in, you have to remove it from the mod to get to it. At least it'll hold more juice though.
Same here on the filling method, but I use a Viva Nova tank instead of the stock one. I install the tank upside down (quantity measurements) on the BT804. When I take the bottom off of the unit and invert the tank I fill to the 1.4ml line which is about a third full. Same difference as your method but I have a fill line reference point. I try to ignore the upside down markings when I am using it though!

^^^ @ qorax: I just seen the pic of your GP and kfl over in the kfl thread. Great looking rig you have there. It looks as sleek as the hybrids.

but it's a teaser that delivers. It's all second nature to me now. Filling is as easy as an evod, just gotta use a q tip plug. I bought some vivi nova metal tanks for tank cracking juices but not put them into use yet. Pluid in my kfl is very nice. 2 804's in regular rotation. I went for a 91% and a russian too. This is the way to vape, until something new comes along. I have genny's in use but they are more to play with than anything. Now that i don't depend on them though, i am getting better with them. so, when do you think fastech will have then for 5 bucks?
Looks like ill have to give mine another shot. I wrapped a sharty coil on Chinese silica and its just not doing it. Putbit down weeks ago. Now that I have some proper wick, maybe I will see what all the fuss is about.
Any helpful vids or pix of the deck?
