Focalecig ... A new Fasttech??

[Nikkita6]

Yes that one ... see, you're an evil enabler like the rest of us .. I love my SS Turtle Ship V2, in fact I am vaping her right now. I sure hope that the Turtle Ship V3 clone will happen before the summer is over, I hope! It may be too embellished for some, but I gotta have it!

You mean this one

Luckily I'm not into the shiney mods, or I would be in big trouble

Right now I am in love with this turtle ship mod, so happy getting toppers instead

 

[Nailz]

Hey I just paying back, as it's because of you I got the taifun

Well they better do a black version of the TS V3 too, as I will want that one

Duly noted .. but you are gonna thank me for enticing you to get the Taifun GT, I promise. Just make sure you check in before you do your first build so we can give you some helpful tips and user notes. Some people are thrown off my the retractable chimney sleeve on the deck, and wicking is crucial to the Taifun's performance.

So are you the "all Black everything" vaper Nailz?? ... all the new vape gear is either Copper, Big, and/or Black ...

And ... I think I have finally found some love for the Nemesis. In the 14500 version that is I want it, and I need it for my itty bitty, strange Taifun GS.

 

[Nailz]

Not all my mods are black, 4 of 9 aren't, but yes with how heavy I vape, I only use 18650's, I have 10 vtc5's and that's it.

I would love this bagua, bit only 18350, I would need to change battery every few hours and that would get old fast, but awesome looking mod.

I hope it likes micro coil with cotton as a build, that is what I'm use to using.

Sure I will be watching some builds on youtube, but your be the 1st person I will ask if any problems or questions

My taifun gt is finicky, very good flavor and vapor but it either wants to leak or dry hit, have a heck of a time getting the right amount of wick stuffed into that channel that separates the liquid from the inner chamber.

Taking about Taifuns. I just twisted 3 strands of 28 ga Kanthal. Did 7 wraps on 5/64. Came out to around .88. Wicked that with cotton.

Drilled my air hole with a 3mm drill and ripped out the chimney. Much better.

Almost any build on the Taifun works for me. Before I was just using 4 wraps on a 2mm screwdriver with minimal cotton.

I'm hoping I have better luck, trying something new because of leaking with my kayfuns, so had enough lost juice

 

[haku]

I have never seen a kayfun with that o-ring. Have you tried using it without the o-ring?

Ok ... so based on these pics, I would say that this is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER, but the same supplier. These were not machined in the same factory. The supplier is using a new "source" but is re-selling this to vendors/FC as the same product, but it is not. Shame on them for not notifying Focalecig that they had changed sources for this Kayfun.

The issue is now clear, but now, how to fix it? I had asked Haku if he tried putting the oring on the outside of chimney after it is screwed on to the base, which I am thinking may allow more juice flow to the wicks because the oring is no longer blocking the wick, but still keeping the vacuum in the chamber by blocking it off from the outside, as opposed to the inside??

once the o-ring is removed, dry hits are gone. you must take that ring out of the base.
new 12113 is vaping very well now. although the stock airflow is lower than in 13539 (after pulling the air screw out), it's producing enough and very dense vapor, and very good flavor. the only problem is the 510 pin (too short), or the 510 thread (too long), which makes the positive block a bit loose in the deck, and i'm almost sure that this is responsible for a minimum leaking via 510 connection.

will try to put that white o-ring between the chimney and the chamber, to help chamber sealing, as you've suggested, Nikki, when i run out of juice. anyway, i'm only getting a minimum leaking, as described above. will report, then.

That is soooo true! It surprises me that more Chinese vendors don't do this, and this is what makes FC unique ... and Doris being total sweetie doesn't hurt either.

I have the KFL V2 on the way, and I am sooooooo excited! I just hope it has a long 510 pin because I want to use it with the 4nine... in the meantime, I have to keep my eyes away from the lusicously beautiful Penny mod.

my kfl v2 has a very slight difference with 12113 when related to 510 pin/thread length. i guess it has less than 0.5mm out of the conn, not enough for a 4nine i think. so sorry :/

That's what i was thinking when i got those... like and who are you? you are not 12113, no way.

Lets take old atty as standard for measurements (we can't compere them as old and new because it's obviously different atties).
Base. Juice channels are pretty close with old atty. How i see it. Purpose of o-ring has nothing to do with a temp to fix juice flow.
Top cup. Grove for o-ring is 0.5mm higher then on old one.
Chimney. It's 1mm shorter then a chimney on old one.

So, how i see, purpose of that o-ring is to keep chimney higher, as you may see from the last picture. And it will be a great solution IF at the same time o-ring will not block juice channels. If take that o-ring off chimney immediately going down what unseals top cup/chimney connection.
I see only one solution what will fix this atty solid (without playing with it every time) - get longer chimney (at list 1.5mm longer then it is right now), what is brings me to the point - need just get nano kit.
Or (not sure) try to put o-ring in middle of chimney what will make it longer (higher) but ... again but, as you can see from pics, they made all of the threads shorter, so, with o-ring in between 2 parts of chimney, it will be not possible to connect chimney together.

Update for issues with 12113. Doris still investigating and having a conversation with there's supplier to find a solution. Also she said they will have to stop selling 12113 till they find answers for there's question. She is on weekend till June 24th. I will update when she is back.

He-he, you are lucky you got chimney what high enough to make a good seal with a top cup. main doesn't.

 

[halfempty]

Vaping is a bit deceptive in this regard ... sure, it can cost you much less than smoking does, yet with all the variety in flavors, clearos, cartos, RBA/RDA's, mechanicals, and VV/VW devices that vaping offers, you may actually spend more money keeping up with the Jones's.

But look at it this way, vaping is a lot more fun, and interesting than smoking is. So its like going to your favorite amusement park on a regular basis. And if you ever start to feel really guilty, then just log in, and come chat with us ... We will help you justify the expense of this hobby, and make you see why you needed that extra RBA.

I don't have the problem of keeping up with the Jones's, I wish it was that simple. I just like toys! So I can hurt myself financially without any help. Throw in a couple of enablers and I'm in trouble.

Guess I'm in trouble

 

[nelsonm64]

Nelson54 where are you?? I need to talk "Kayfun Lite Plus V2" with you asap!

Hey Nik, what's up? I've been around a bit but work has kept me SUPER busy! basically, home, eat, bed

Does the o-ring fit between the two pieces of the chimney? Maybe try putting it there.

That's what i meant (pardon my cricket English). Just put it all together, testing it, thread on chimney down part and top part are pretty short, it let me put it together bu it not very solid (i have feeling it may unscrew any time, doesn't mean it will). So far it works and does the job. So i will give it a some time. Haku came to this point as well.

Haku
How it works with o-ring in middle of the chimney? if you try it yet.

I used to be seriously in love with the SS version of this .. almost got it too about 5 months ago. But as per usual, some other new and fantastic clone gets released and I fall in love all over again.

It does indeed .. that is probably the most commonly used build for the GT, but I used to build mine with ss mesh and silica at first, and then I discovered xc116, and have been using that in the Taifun ever since. And of course you can hit me up with questions, the Taifun is my baby.

This is why I like ss mesh or xc116 ... it eliminates the guess work in how much cotton to use. XC116 is the easiest, one 3mm piece cut with 1-2mm out from each side, and done. XC116 works best with 60% or less VG though.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! .... Well, guess I'll need to shop for a new mod for it! Actually, I am kidding. I had always planned to pair the SS Stingray with new KFL, so technically it already has a home, but I was hoping to accumulate multiply atties that I could use with the 4nine.

Right now the original 12113 is perfect with the 4nine, my other KF 3.1 is not that great with it, and my Kraken is only ok .. All of my other atties have nearly flush 510 pins.

KFL 12113 - I hope that the suggestion to put the oring on the outside of the chimney may be a improvement, so I eagerly await your feedback to see if this is a viable fix for the issue.

Well I think you should get a nano kit regardless. ... I remember a few weeks ago you were like "wat dis nano kit?" All I have to say is "KFL V2"

Besides Laylel, the V2 nano kit is soo sexy!
