Has anyone used a pyrex tank kayfun yet?

Like so many, you've been suckered into the "Alibaba experience". That's not glass... and you'll note that nowhere, other than in the usual - "everything but the kitchen sink" title, do they mention actual glass. I've seen a few that do... and they're simply lying.

The kayfun design is held together as an assembly with a threaded external body. With few, rare and costly exceptions, can you apply a fine thread to glass... so you won't be finding it in attys, not even genuine, $150 ones.

There are glass conversion kits for the Kayfun, Russian and 1:1 clones, but they are essentially a carto tank affair where the end caps thread onto the base and top cap of the Kayfun et al, and the glass - and for that matter the entire atty - is held together with tightly fitting o-rings.

"Science of Vaping" conversion with o-rings removed.

Not a fan of alibaba either. I've been searching in vain for a pyrex fix for my kayfuns. I like a few tank crack buster juices. Hate waiting for that terrible dry hit to know that it's empty. I figured that if alibaba has maybe someone else might too. Thx for the reply. I will keep searching.

Ewww.
Well, looks like SoV should be putting their list up tomorrow. F5ing all night/day till they post it.
Not sure whether the Tarsius glass is too thin, too tight, too out of square on the ends... or a combination of all three, but this is not the first glass fail I've heard of.
Hopefully, they get it sorted before the Chinese clone one or the other (or both)... and both SoV and Tarsius sales go flat.

Speaking of Tarsius, have you seen the 4Nine mech? Very interesting features, design and price point.

Meh. I saw Todd's review on it. I can't say that I ever liked recessed buttons with finger grooves.

3,000th post SOF. Thanks for being of those that provide quality info on ECF :)

Thanks very much 4thpower. Living in a cardboard box under a freeway overpass, I have a lot of time on my hands for "quality info". :p

I was on Tarsius Customs FB page this AM and came across a few comments by the owner of Tarsius... Pando Rodrigo.

"We would like to apologize if the glass quartz did not fit, this is a process we are currently aware of. We will definitely find a way to get the replacements to you."

"Same goes to the other Quartz Kits out now, we know which batch had the problem and rest assured that we are working with the concerned vendors to resolve the problem. Thanks for letting us know."

"We decided to flame treat both ends of the glass without compensating for the change in diameter after flame treating. Agaiin, we apologize for not seeing the effect. We are working on the replacements and they will soon get to you."


So... they are well aware, and are standing behind glass failure issues, if you contact them. Good for them.

If anyone has a US link where the quartz kits are sold please link it. Just recently got my first Kayfun. KFL+ and I'm inlove. Best tank ever. Been building a crazy amount of coils the past few days. That Russian I'm the first page with the quartz kit looked SEXY!
