Focalecig ... A new Fasttech??

[Nikkita6]

Nice Corpse! It looks like Tobeco has improved the machining on the outer body, and I like it. It looks like sku 12113, but the juice channels on the Tobeco are hella wide and deep ... you better wick up for that baby

Let us know whats up after the beauty bath

vape mail!

Now it goes for it's beauty bath...

Like the Grand Canyon.

OT:

Supernatural is a show about two brothers (Dean and Sam Winchester) who are hunters and slayers of all sorts of supernatural beings...Satan, Jinn, Vampires, Demons...etc. The shows levity and kick-ace classic rock score is what has kept me watching it for the past nine years, it's really quite unique.

I'm still waiting on new screws for the posts and fill hole, a friend warned me that these rust easily, so i'm not taking chances.

Oh, I should check it out .. I've slayed a few dragons and demons in my lifetime, so I can relate I think I have heard of of the show, but I wasn't sure. But I should watch for the sake of some interesting OT convo's

This is what I refer to as "delayed gratification" ;-) Hopefully it won't be much longer though. Another Kayfun Lite is still on my list of "more stuff to get", but I am leary of "plus" versions, so you will have to let me know if it whistles when you finally use it.

I won't buy a "plus" again. That whistling is beyond annoying.

My Russian clone whistles also, I even chamfered the airhole but it still makes my dog bark.

I think it must be whistling from the internal airhole under the coil.

 

[G-weezy]

But 22.95 for a Orochi on FC is a steal Nikki. Will match that Kraken real nice.

... I can't with the whistling. I do want a Russian though, just to have at least one of everything. But it has to be polished, or brushed because I don't do "sandblasted" .. at least not yet. If I find a really sexy sandblasted mech, then of course I'm in.

It is, it is indeed! ... why are you tryna get me in trouble Weezy? There is a long list of "steals" on the FC website. I really think I need another Kayfun though, and I really would love it if Doris could get the Kayfun Lite V2 w/ss nano drop kit included.

I love the side airflow control and the mirror quality polish of this Russian but the whistling will drive you nuts, I have to randomly adjust the airflow screw when it starts and it will (usually) stop whistling.

Next time it's empty I'm going to see what I can do inside to prevent it.

 

[G-weezy]

Try removing the airflow completely? See what happens if it makes a difference.

Nikki,
No not trying to get you in trouble. I'm waiting for my first Kayfun Lite. Will see how it goes. This is how I justify myself. 22 bucks. Not bad at all. But if I go out with the friends to eat or at the bar I just flushed at least 100 bucks on drinks. But for a mech that will last me longer...Yea!!!

 

[f1vefour]

I have tried removing the screw and even covering up the screw hole to verify it wasn't the airflow control screw threading causing the whistling.

This is why I think it's internal.

Definitely or I may break down and order it from slowtech, I need another as well.

 

[G-weezy]

All good. Was just wondering. Let us know what you find.

Slow tech has been pretty fast for me. Under 5 days was my record. Lol.

i also started with aspire et-s and glass bdc vivi nova (my brother suggested that to me, he convinced me to vape).. wanted to order a nautilus then, when i started to read this thread..
ordered nautilus tanks, replacement coils (from the other site).. and an squape! for him last week: i'm convincing him to start with rbas now

about the "tobeco" kfl i own (sku 13539 with wide juice channels version): tried much wick at the beginning, because i thought it was going to flood (it was leaking, in fact, and getting some semi dry hits; juice with about 80% vg). error. the best not leaking build has less cotton; inspired by someone tips and pics from here (sorry, i don't remember who was), the cotton is fluffy on the juice channel, but not laying down ("8" setup) nor occupying the whole rest of the chamber. again, simpler is better.
about its air flow and whistle (well, i never noticed a whistle, maybe because removed the af screw immediately), haven't needed to drill it yet; but noticed the hole in the positive screw, above the insulator that weezy has described: it has better af when aligned to the air hole (i think), so i adjust the positive screw to match it (to test, you can introduce a wire into the lateral air hole, it should reach and get into the screw hole); there are 2 valid positions in a 360º screw round. dunno if it will be effective, but you could try before drilling.

i've received the taifun (now i have the three kings, kf, taifun, squape), still cleaning the base, and a bit scared of the taifun setup (even bought some mesh, just in case). also received a 3d (my first dripper). waiting for the ss quasar, igo-w, immortalizer and omega, but now i can start to taste my mixtures (will use ekowool, and will dry burn it and the coil when changing flavors, hope it is enough).

satisfied with this gear, but my mouth gets wet whenever i see your vapeporn. amazing collections you have. thanks for the pics!

My fastest was about 10 days, slowest over 30.

Just caught the tail-end of this conversation, and I'm assuming it's a Kayfun lite gurgling/leaking issue.

What I've found out with the kayfun lites, is there is an o-ring that the chimney goes into when you screw the chimney on. This o-ring rarely seats properly. I've found two solutions... one, is I somehow had an alluminum tube that was the EXACT diameter of the chimney... I dunno where I got it, or what it's from, I just found it laying on the floor in our house. Before I stick the chimney on, I put that alluminum rod in and used that to stretch that o-ring out.... the chimney would get a good seal that way. Before filling with juice, I test the vacuum seal by holding the airhole with my thumb and inhaling a tight bit, and use my tongue to create a slight vacuum... if there was a vacuum leak, it wouldn't stick to my tongue, and I'd have to try to re-seat the o-ring.

A recent fix I've found, was to buy these small O-rings, and replace the current one. These are thicker than the ones that came with the kayfun, and make it real hard to screw the base in... but it can be done with some force. The good part is, it alwasy makes a tight seal and a good vacuum seal. It just takes some force to put the chimney through that.

Now, for whistling, most whistles come from the 90 degree angle from the air hole. One fix, is to take a countersink drill bit and put an ever so slight angle on the airflow hole. just 1/2 a second burst with the drill to take off the sharp edge of the airhole. If you have a standard drill bit like this, you'll notice the tip is angled. This will do as well if you take a drill bit one or two sizes larger than the hole currently is. Again, just a real quick burst since you don't want to actually drill a hole. Be sure to clean the hole of any metal bits before testing.


Anyways, good luck and vape on.

It's a Russian 91% so the air control is on the side. No gurgling or flooding, just whistling.

I have already chamfered the air intake so the whistling almost has to be coming from inside.
