I've done a TON of outdoors stuff while vaping. Camping, hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, horseback riding, and on and on.


If you're wanting a cheap, easy dripping solution that can easily be replaced and won't break your heart or wallet if it's damaged or broken, then get an Ego Twist and a handful of these:

510 Atomizer, 510 Atomizers | MadVapes


Simple, easy, and cheap. Ego Twist with a 510 dripping atomizer. No need to worry about rebuilding, expensive mods, or carrying tons of spare batteries. It's not what I would recommend for dripping at home but if you're wanting to drip while camping and backpacking where space and weight is a premium, it can't be beat.

Well kind sir please tell me how I can better respect the vacuum. The fill hole leaked from the time I bought so I plugged it but it's a temporary plug I think I could unplug it. So I've been using the top fill/bubble method. I thought hard about getting the nano kit just to see if it changes anything also because I prefer a less ml tank and the diameter of the full size looks better on everything just about compared to the mini that just good on stick batteries mostly

The nano kits are great, especially for on the go.

What model Kayfun do you have. If you have the 3.1 (side fill) then your ball is likely lodged in the open position. It happens, though I have yet to see it. I've read that you can take a small needle and stick it in the hole on the deck where the juice enters the tank (as opposed to where you fill from) and can lodge it free. You can look around the forums. I have read very recently of a guy who fixed his KFL+ v2 that way. If you can't fix the ball, you can always put a dab of super glue in the hole and fill it permanently. That will fix your leak.

If you have the KFL+ with a bottom fill hole, I have no idea why that would be leaking except that the screw may need a new o-ring.

If you use a nano kit, I wouldn't recommend a top fill. In my experience, the chimney is to short to keep juice from coming out of the top when you turn it over and before you can tighten the cap enough to create a seal.

kayfun mini on an ego-just got mine and am in love-way more portable than my kayfuns on my mechs, even with the nano kit. Just make sure you wrap your coil high enough for the ego to handle it
I got my mini a few days ago. Decided, just for grins, to use the extended chimney and all 3 tank sections. Put it on a 1100 mah eGo. For those old enough, remember the old movies where the femme fatale used a cigarette holder and ended up with like a foot long cigarette? Well my combo puts that to shame. Not particularly portable though. Perhaps in a side by side configuration, it'd be OK. Here's a link to a cheap adapter for that:

This one is sold out but has pictures of an eGo and atomizer installed in case you can't picture how it works:

I think something like the gripper would be better, cheap when Madvapes has them on sale. Holds a XL size carto.

I do believe you are looking for a cigalike, use it in the "danger zones" rollercoaster, fishing etc. and keep a clone mod not too far away so your still good if you lose the cigalike or for when it dies. I use one for that purpose and only that purpose.

I was thinking the same thing;
a cigalike catomizer type might be perfect.

Or perhaps a couple v-nanos with automatic batts.

I actually looked at something like that thing then couldn't find it and didn't know what it was called. I am thinking a mech may fit in it and one with a bottom fire would be hand friendly I think upside down. it would be like the button on the reo sort of

About the only that might fit would be a 14500 based device like the original Bagua, not the thousands of Bagua style clones that take 18xxx batteries.

Here's another side by side option from FastTech, although pricey (and unavailable for a month I see):

There's a thread here, used to be in the no longer existing Vamo subforum, how a ECF member made his own side by side from a regular Vamo.

Just a thought, any vacuum dependent tank or RTA will leak in summer heat(kayfun, evod, protank). Due to the expansion of the liquid when going from inside to out. If you had it inside and it was leak free, when you go out in the heat the liquid will warm up and expand creating positive pressure inside forcing liquid out somewhere.

I'd vote ego and igo s, and a u can. Or ego and spheroid(I'd be bummed if I lost a spheroid though).

In most places the temperature differential won't be enough to make that kind of difference. Only in places where the AC is in the 60s and the outside temp in the 100s MIGHT that matter. But for most of us where the inside temps and outside temps are 20-30 degrees difference, it won't matter that much.

Also, the temp doesn't instantly climb just because you brought it outside. It will rise very slow and be able to expel any expanding air through the mouthpiece just fine. When you use the 3.1 fill hole, the air is being expelled at a pretty rapid pace. Much faster than any air might move from a temperature differential.

In short, this is a case where the theoretical concerns will stay theoretical. This isn't going to be a problem.

The lone exception would be if you left it in a hot car where the temperature might get up to 130 or 140. Then you'll have problems.
