Here is what it looks like in the KFL plus. Love these :)
Now that I think of it, I think it takes a chimney extension. FT used to have them but not sure they do now, I need to see if the KF 2019 extensions fit the KFL+ bases. If they do you can get the top fill tanks.

My overall approach is to rely on my Mech squonkers in the long term. After the obvious stocking up of nic one of my main concerns is O-rings for my BF (and other) attys. You guys know how the tiniest difference in O-ring size can make an atty un-useable. Of course O-rings are used in multiple applications - are the sizes all standardised? Not just the diameter/circumference but thickness etc
fastech has a very large selection of orings.

That's my approach too. It's a super simple and reliable thing that can be set up (with the right atty) to please anyone from an 8 watt tootle-puffer to a 80 watt DL cloudz bro.


There's a zillion "standard sizes", both in metric and inch dimensions.
The O-Ring Store LLC, We make getting O-Rings easy!

It can be fidgety to measure the diameter. You'll need a decent set of calipers. There are also some tricks I've learned from fitting o-rings on drip-tips. If the diameter is correct but the the o-ring is too tight, and the next thickness down is too thin, get the next smaller diameter. The more you have to stretch it to fit, the more its thickness will be reduced.

All that said, I've had atties I've been vaping for 3-4 years now and have had no problems with the o-rings.
Calipers sound like a good Idea - I don't mind fidgety as long as I get results.
I've had a few issues with O-rings. Maybe it's the climate in Sydney that goes from super humid to super dry in the 12 month cycle but my RDAs where I'm changing airflow options with a full barrel twist (like the recurve ) seem to be the worst. Thanks for the link

I'm with ya, bnrk! I love my acrylix for the KFs. My faves are the little diamond tanks.

In all honesty I dont have a clue who your talking to.
I think she was talking to me... lol Yesterday we had people over for football sunday, so I missed quite a few posts.

Anywhoo, I already got the Zmax telescoping mod and am seriously thinking about the Kamry's for the crazy price they are... (thanks to those who posted about them) they would eventually find themselves in my apocalypse bag for when all of my good stuff bites the dust 10 years down the line. lol

Do VG or PG need freezing for medium/long term storage? I know it's unlikely that there's ever going to be problem sourcing either but I'm in super cautious mode at the moment
No need to freeze them, just store in a cool place. Shelf life of at least a year and my gallons last about two.

There's really no need to stock up on PG and VG as they have many uses outside of vaping and will remain available. I get gallons because they are a good deal and we use about 400ml per month.

Thanks! For those prices I got one of each, plus I had a 15% off coupon code via honey. When I get them, it will probably feel like I went back in time with a time machine. lol
I bring mine out from the hoard and enjoy them from time to time. Still a nice mech that continues to work for my style of vaping!

I wonder if the hellbeast rba might fit? HellBeast RBA Kit

Hellbeast also uses the Vaporesso nrg gt coils.

I have one coming in tomorrow, for use with a hellbeast and a GV Cerberus.

(I agree that a purpose-built rta is generally better, only picked this up to try it out.)
That would be perfect! I pulled out the 2 coils included with the tank, one a dual and one a quad and each coil is sectioned off by itself surrounded by metal so building in there for the most part is going to be impossible. I mean it could be done but it would be way too tedious so an rba deck like that would be perfect.

I really like the EHPRO True MTL. I did have leaks wicking it the first time, but that was easy to correct. Love the very easy build and the top fill.

Mine will certainly be prominent in my apocalypse stash. :) I've purchased a number of attys over the years and the most recent models seem to be in the 2 to 3 ml capacity range. I like 4.x ml tanks that can last most of the day away from home. Kayfun Lites have been my staple and I have 6 or 7 of those, some that are starting to show wear. I just ordered a pack of 30 Kayfun fill screws. The screws wear out, but the SS coil deck threads are still fine.

Nope. Both are very stable. I bought a bunch some years ago and have been using it ever since. I've yet to detect any problems with it. I store it at room temperature, in liter-size glass bottles.

I don't like plastic for long-term storage of anything because it's somewhat permeable to oxygen and I don't trust it not to leech stuff.
