Eleaf GS Air Fan

[Cirus]

That's how I got to be called "Bikenstein" by resurrecting old bikes...

A buddy and I used to put signs out, "Motorcycles Wanted Dead or Alive -phone number". Bikes in garages for years or a decade, people would want a few hundred, we'd offer less, they'd take it, and most of the time all we had to do was take apart the carburetor, clean it the air filter and spark plug and varoom! Put an ad in the paper and turn a profit in a week. My buddy's back yard was a mini junk yard and you could fix about anything with a part back there.

No... I think they're going to just kewp things confusing and convoluted. Consider my situation for example:

One of my three 20W iStick Minis (yes, three... I have a problem) failed. It's actually the newest of the bunch. It was beyond the 30 day warranty covered by Origin Vape, so I reached out to them directly and explained the situation, hoping Eric at Origin would have a direct point of contact with somebody having either an iSmoka or eleaf email address.

Turns out, it was neither. Kat Chung at the dedicated Myvapors site got back to us, paid for return shipping, and will send out a replacement when they get the defective unit.

It's labeled as an Eleaf product on the box, has the existing joyetech MyVapors logo all over it, is sold through the MyVapors site, directly to the vendor, and is supported by iSmoka somewhere in their convoluted chain of custody. Somewhere in there, the joyetech MyVapors branding got mixed into the deal... how exactly, who knows? But it's enough that it's recognized by the vendor as a MyVapors product with its own support staff.

More and more weird and complicated.

Ismoka has said that eleaf is their product and they have no affiliation with Joyetech. I guess you can repackage a Chinese product and sell it however you like. I know Joyetech applied for the eleaf trademark in the US, so I would expect anything from them.

I remember those days. Some would give them away if you hauled them off. The vintage bikes you find now are few and far between and much worse condition.

Yep, had a lot given to us. The most vintage I've ever been around was another friends 1943 Harley WLA.

I learned how to ride on a 1969 Honda CL70 when I was 8 years old. Could barely touch the pedals.

Beautiful. I found a widow in NC that has a disassembled WWII BMW her husband shipped from Germany (not a scam..hasn't been advertised). I need to check it out.

My uncle served in the Korean War and piecemealed a '49 WLA and shipped it to another uncle of mine, a piece at a time. Got the whole thing back to the States, eventually... took over a year. He reassembled it after the war ended and he came home. His grandkids still have it and it is still in great shape... still runs, too. 740cc engine, if memory serves me correctly. Sweet ride, but Army green all over.

Cool! Yeah, they are 45 cu.in. flatheads. I had the same motor in a Harley Servi-Car (3 wheeler) I sold when I went in the Army. It had the motorcycle transmission....no reverse. I've been pullin a motor from a 68 Bridgestone 350 while I was gone. Motor looks good inside. Nice chrome cylinder bores.

Being a Joyetech trademark here in the States, I'd imagine that MyVapors is indeed Joyetech incognito... or whatever. Who knows the exact relationship between the various pieces of the pie...

I'm just glad I found a good, rapid customer service option. Incidentally, I also contacted Eleaf and iSmoka at their support email addresses. Unsurprisingly, I've heard nada.

BTW Bikenstein, I live about 10 miles north of AJ Foyt Kawasaki in Houston. Used to go in there every week back in 1988-89 when I was shopping for a sportbike. Ended up with a 87 Yamaha FZ 600 though.

I don't remember the finer details of the bike (been ten years or so since I last saw it), but I seem to remember it being all green and that nothing was chromed or painted on the components... just bare aluminum. I THINK it had blackout lights, too.

He even had the gun mount installed (no gun, of course). The only things missing if I remember correct were any identifying paint stencils and the Army star. By the time my cousin got the thing, he didn't want to modify it at all, even to make it look more authentic. Now his sons have it (young teens) and are of the same mind. Everything is original except for basic perishable maintenance parts like the tires and whatnot. And it looks IMMACULATE.

And all it cost my uncle was a metric ton of postage over a year.

My wife owns a 1957 Servi Car, reverse and all.

I still have my first Harley, a 1965 Electraglide. Last year of Panhead, first year of electric start, so it's the only panhead with electric start.

I am nearing the end of the mini-wad of Rayon that SD so graciously PIF'd me.

Is there any 1 seller that is better than the others or has better Rayon?

If anyone has a metric .... load of it and wants to sell me a couple bucks worth, that'd work too.

Bruce in Ocala, Fl

Coool...... I worked there as a mechanic a few years before that. Maybe late 70s early 80s

I think you are remembering the upscale "Prince" called the 1960 Chrysler. Had one of those, too, long after its sell-by date had come and gone. Big sweeping fins, and never met a gas pump it didn't want to spend serious time with.
The Valiant had three on the column, and could do 0-60 in less than four minutes, downhill.

Nice car there, but not the one I'm talking about. It was definitely a Plymouth Valiant, early 60s model, push button auto transmission, we used it for a "hangout" after the engine blew and they parked it in the backyard. As teens we would sneak smokes in that car lol.

My GS Tank took a dive to the ceramic kitchen tile floor. Drip tip broke off and used a wood screw to remove the broken piece since I didn't have a nail file .. Lynn haha air flow ring was bent away from the base, but I was able to pop it back in. Now to see if she holds or leaks!

 

[Canno]

What happened in the 60s anyway?
