T-shirts.. :laugh:

yep, you got it once again: the coils are not identical, and one of them is lighting up before the other. and individual resistance is about 3.2ohm, quite high.. s***, time to redo the coils..

B-laaah... I'm so lazy lately about rebuilding, i cannot believe i did rebuild coils everyday before just for fun.
Good luck.

i have some imr purple efest in my basket (18650 -2500mah-, 18500, and 18350), because they are cheaper than aw imr (my usual ones) here. also considering to get flat ones, instead of nipple (my usual ones), to get some nemmys shorter (and to remove the beauty ring)..
should i pass and go for the aws again?

Its funny you ask ... I was gonna go all "tech battery nerd" on halfempty, but felt it was too late in the evening ... I would go with AW honestly. I have a purple Efest, purchased only out of necessity, I have a few mechs that need a flat top, and AW doesn't make flat tops. Efest has a very jainky reputation, and their batteries are notoriously inconsistent, and amp limits are usually grossly overstated.

About a month ago I got a pair of Purple Efest, and one died for no apparent reason after a week's use. While the other just doesn't last as long as my AW's do. I also recently learned that Efest purple "30amp", were really re-labeled Sony 20A :( This made sense because a few months ago a 30A Efest nearly went into thermal runaway during testing, when it was pushed to 20A, as per Sun-Vapers.

Moral of the story ... Be very careful with Efest batteries, they are very mediocare, and all this purple hype was a marketing ploy to keep up with the increasing popularity of Samsung and Sony batteries.

i was sure that purple effest 18350 are - 700mah, that's why i didn't get them

Don't laugh Haku ... I'm corny like that! :laugh: I will make T shirts for everyone, and then harass, and nag you all until you take pictures wearing the T shirts, and post them on ECF in your avatar. :laugh:

The T shirt will read " Certified Playa #vapelife " :banana: .. Now, somebody has some dual coils to redo :rules: Which brings me to the reason you should get the dominator, because is has the push down n catch mechanism for your leads. :D That looks so .... easy :)

tried your suggested denture cleaning tablets to remove the oil machine taste in my new taifun.
it worked very well, although i needed to use 2 tablets (2 baths); between them, had to brush all the tiny tubes/holes with dish detergent, using a pipette cleaner (brush), and an inter-dental cleaning micro-brush.

I'm glad it worked for you, they are designed to remove odors and tastes from tiny nook and cranny situations :)

Oh I've had a good run with them, had them for a long time, and can't complain for what I paid for them, but as they seem to be getting worn, may as well try something new to play with :)

Nailz you should get a Squape ... everyone should get a Squape. If you like how the Kayfun vapes, you will love how the Squape vapes. I love my Squape ... go get a Squape :D

Man... you just didn't get right one. First butch 12113 was just the best and simple RBA, i never had any problem with it. My rose one works just great as well. Hope you will get a good one, one day.
I can't get use to Taifun, it's sure tasty but i can't get hand on wicking it.


Laylel, try ss mesh wick with 3mm silica top wick ... magic, yummy vape :banana: ... or just get a Squape. :D

    I've always used vodka for cleaning e-cig stuff, but after seeing your suggestion on the denture tablets, I got some this weekend, my wife had been using cinnamon red hot in a clearo, thought nothing better to test these denture tablets on, and holy moly, worked like a charm, clearo and the bottle the juice was in, came out smelling of............nothing. I won't be getting the vodka anymore, the denture tablets are a lot cheaper, only down point is you can't really drink it afterwards like vodka :laugh:

    All my Kayfuns came from the other place, got 3 of the $15 one's, which have been pretty good, but think the orings are getting worn on them, so been having some leaking from them, then I got 2 of the new black $15 Kayfuns, they was crap straight out of the mail, leaked like crazy, after a lot of messing, I found it was the oring in the top cap was not making a proper seal with the chimney, tried switching out the oring, but still leaked, I solved it in the end by mis-matching the silver and black kayfuns together, and I actually like the look of them, have silver bottom part and silver top part, then black with smoked tank in the middle. But I am still having to keep tweaking them, still sometimes get leaking, sometimes dry hits, now just wanting something that isn't so much work, but hoping for a lot there :laugh:

    I got the fogger in SS, I liked the black, but it will be used mainly for work, and my work mod is a blue nemesis, so thought the SS is a safer deal to go with most mods.

    Too bad KFL 12113 got all screwed up, like Laylel said it was an awesome Kayfun, well made, great quality, great vape. Nailz, I think that black 3.1 is calling you .. it looks too good to be crappy.

    I looked at the Squape, I didn't like the look of it, especially not being able to see your liquid level very easy. That is one thing I do not like about the KF, the plastic tank, I have one built with the metal middle section because I have a licorice juice that eats the plastic, but have no idea how much juice is in it. Know you can get glass for them, but the glass costs more than what I paid for the KF.

    The glass tank on the Fogger is what drew me to that one, plan to use my licorice juice in that one.

    i'd like to see most people in this thread wearing their " Certified Playa #vapelife " t-shirt in their avatar :laugh:

    i'm afraid i'll also procrastinate.. fixing 2 rdas double coils, creating a new one for the new taifun, another one for the squape (i was getting permanent burn taste, semi dry hits, and even leaking, even after changing the cotton, so i've had to remove the coil).. too much work, and too less time.. so i hear you, and would better go to sleep :p

    Speaking of Vodka ... I allowed myself to be "pressure sold" into buying a 1 liter bottle of Vodka last friday. :blink: Now, I don't drink vodka, I am a wine lover, but the sales lady made me do it. :unsure:

    So I made a cocktail in honor of our MIA Marilyn, I call it "blondie" and its ice tea, lemonade, and of course vodka. :D

    Everybody try it ... tonight :laugh:
