I use the pin from pop rivets and they work great. They are just the right size for holding the coil in place while dropping it on a deck and since they are aluminum and are super light. Some folks are old school and some like the new toys.

I have wrapped quite a few coils around pop rivet stems also for a few atties. I hope you have a great mind and we think alike instead of some other more ominous description. :)

I'm not too good without it.


DW I have one of those on my bench & a pair of 3+ readers I use just for building. However when I take them off I feel and walk funny the first few steps! :)

P.S. Not sure what happened but the comment was about the the lighted magnifier not the coil wrapper. :)

Dry hit? Wicking problem? I thought ...
They're always saying "less is better".
Not always so. Too skinny a wick here.
So we got glycerin overheating. At 280 °C
VG breaks down to Acrolein, foul & toxic.
Doh.

After my "skinny wick" problem, I got another build that's not quite wicking well
on my new black Tobeco. Granted, the deck surface isn't quite as cleanly
machined as on the plain stainless one, but nothing that would explain it. Let's
see how the next build goes. There are SO many variables in how you build
the coil and the wick! If I knew what I know now about the kayfun V4, about
how complicated and finicky they can be, I would NEVER have risked getting
a clone. And that would have been a loss ;-)
Keep us updated of you're able to get it to work properly and what you did to fix/get it to work.

perhaps FT got confused then :)

Order placed. Thanks.

Let's hope I get the black infinite this month!
Good luck. I have had a Fasttech order that was shipped February 4th and through sort facility in China on February 7th, still show no progress from there. A second one placed about the same time just hit Chicago. And I paid extra for faster shipping. 7 to 10 days shipping. Yeah, right.

Mine shipped Feb 12 and I got it the 23rd 11 days to Canada with Epacket, extra 2.50 not bad:)
The infinite Kay-Fun V4(black) from FT is so impressive to me, I ordered another one, a SS one
I put it in my cart today and it's ready to ship now only thing is I added a few other things that wont ship for 3 more days
For me here in Canada FT is almost as fast as buying from the US off Ebay as long as I choose EPacket and pay the extra 2.50, no big deal only 2.50 more :)

I feel your pain, I had two FT orders that were place early in January, were processed through the China sort facility on, I believe, Feb 2nd and are finally arriving at the local post office tomorrow. Almost 2 months and I also paid for the "fast" shipping.

I love FT & FC And DHgate but more than once it has been so long from order to delivery that I had completely forgotten, and then it was like a Christmas surprise when it appeared in the mail box. :)

Right behind you...
I ordered some back up glass for my kf4's on Jan 29th from FT and its stuck in China post since Feb 5th. Paid extra for shipping too. They are blaming the east coast weather for the delay. I told them that I want my money back. They suck lately. Used to get my orders from them in 7-12 days.

Hang in there, it's out of FT's control. I had an order with no update since the 9th just show up on tracking at my local post office an hour ago, with nothing showing on tracking between there and Shenzhen.

MILLIONS of packages were dumped on China Post and USPS in the first two weeks of February, about four times the normal volume, to get shipments out ahead of the closing of China for two weeks. HUGE backlog at Customs and sorting on both sides. And then the crap weather on the East Coast for all of February messing with flights, and the port strike on the West Coast causing things to be re-routed elsewhere, further adding to delays.
