Authentic Svoemesto Kayfun Prime

[Bronze]

Hello,

my original prime airflow is really hard to control, once lifted - it's hard to turn it. Does not happen with the clone.
I've washed it and unscrew the pin to clean it, but still the same.
Any ideas?

Are you loosening your juice control far enough to allow your air flow ring to lift high enough? Back off your juice control several turns before lifting your airflow ring.

So I finally got my paws on a Prime.
According to the vape shop, SM have stopped doing cities on the metal tanks and gone with their standard logo.

Russia is a rather sensitive word in the States these days. I suspect engraving Russian cities on your product is not a good marketing pitch.

Was goona measure tank thickness between Prime and KFL but the Prime tank has a lip on it. Gotta measure it a different way. Later.

Yes, I'm loosening juice control far enough, it's happening even without top part.

Except for maybe the old carts or old dripping attys (which perhaps had nichrome) In my 7 years of rebuilding have never tried it. Do you feel a difference in the vape between nichrome and kanthal?

Yes I do, I don’t taste the ‘metal’ either way, however Ni80 Ramps a lot quicker than kanthal and that property in itself can bring out differences in juice flavour.

Some juices, in my opinion at least, taste/ work better with Ni80 than Kanthal, similarly the other way around is also true.

Jim, did any of us ever find an assembly drawing for the Prime? If so I can have Lori open up the OP and include it for reference. I gave a quick scan on the SM website but could not find it.

From the "Svoe" site.The text is kind of small, but if you enlarge it, it readable, just a tad fuzzy.

Number 8

Number 8

Thanks, I'll have to take it apart, but I guess after next wash I've to lube it again?

P.S. guys, I've attached the very same drawing to my question

True that, but didn't they go through a phase when they had engravings of various cities around the world?

Not sure about that. I know when they came out it was only Russian cities.

OK Kayfuners....Lori added the parts diagram for the Prime to the OP of this thread so if you need a reference there it is (or if you need to point someone to where one is).

Might order some and give er a try, thanks

So as you pop it upwards to turn, does it at least totally clear the base plate? Also when up and as you turn, is there an even gap around the tank bottom part that it's fitted on to? It is possible that it was at one time dropped and that afc part is slightly out of round and binding on the other part. That afc ring is not very thick and can be bent, but also can be bent back if that indeed is the case
