Out for Delivery for the home package ! It'll be there at the end of the day (USPS always comes around 5pm, which is cruel). Gotta build my lost KF mini that I just found hidden in a kitchen drawer (wut ?) lol.

OK, just build the KFM (which, btw, was a PITA getting the coil legs to stay under the micoscopic screws). Now, mailman, please hurry. It's 5pm already, somewhere in the world.

The trick to wrapping the legs around the post screws is to back the screws out far enough to get a complete wrap around them and while holding the coil firmly down over the air hole with your wrapping instrument (drill bit, screwdriver etc,etc) wrap the leg 3/4 of the way around the screw and while still the holding coil in place, take a flat tipped screwdriver and push the leg down on the block. Once done, grab the end of the leg (while still holding the coil in place) and continue to wrap it all the way around the screw, then tightening the screw before releasing the coil. Repeat the process for the other leg. The key here is to leave enough leg after wrapping the coil to easily do so. Once you are done tightening the screws, its only a matter of pulling straight upwards on the coil (with your wrapping to re-inserted into the coil) a bit to get the leg clearance off the block and prevent shorting of the coil. I hope this made sense. If not, shoot me a PM and I'd be happy to give you further assistance.

This may sound like a bit of a PITA but, once you have done it a few times it becomes second nature. Good Luck!!

anyone want to trade for some Absolute creme? yikes.. worth a shot
Remmy00 -- If anyone wants to trade their ACB away, they have to go through ME first to get to YOU!!! I am calling DIBS.
I have put up TWO "ACB WANTED" posts on the Swap Meet thread in 24 hours. I am now accepting ANY NIC LEVEL. If this little gem doesn't hit for you, PM ME! Day or Night. I will close the deal - I have just about everything on Clark's menu and most of the short runs including Raz Cup, Hummingbird, Refresh, RBF, Home Slice, BSP, BP, AA, etc.

B-but how many hands do you have ?!?

I usually have no problems with the KFL+ and clones, but this one... damn. The legs would pop out EVERY TIME I tightened the screws a bit. Ended up tightening them just enough so it would hold, but I'd better not move the coil around too much. Eh, it's working ! I'll try your method, if I can find a third hand (should be included with the KFM).

Thanks though ! This community is really awesome !

Finally got them !!!!

Steep time: One Zotz

Nic Level: 12mg

Tank/Atomizer: Kayfun Mini by Ivogo

Mod: Innokin iTazte VV3 and Provari mini

Thoughts/Tasting Notes:

Holy Wick. Where do I begin ? This is... incredible. I'm not as good as others to describe flavors, so I'll be short and to the point : the main flavor on the intake is "amazing", and I get a lot of "wow" on the exhale, with a hint of "awwwwww, yum". All of these are very well blended (I can separate the vanilla and cream in CB and Wakonda, not in this one, though I get a tad more caramel than I do in CB) and they all sing along together.

It's also less sweet than I expected, less than CB. There's a hint of dryness where CB is rounder, I guess due to the tobacco.

I will enjoy my 2ml tonight, and let the bottles steep for a while. It's pretty high in nic so I get that faint alcoholic/medicinal feeling that I always get with 12 or more, so I will let them open for a couple of days and revisit next week. After that, all bets are off. I will have to vape the 100ml through the summer while I can still vape 12mg without losing a lung.

Final note, the KFM looks ridiculous on the Provari, kinda like a space rocket, but I don't care.

Clark and team - you outdone yourself on this one. You HAVE to do it again with the new TA.

Steep time: Say what???

Nic Level: 12mg

Tank/Atomizer: Yaeliq RDA with 1.1 ohm coil

Mod: (mechanical, VV): both

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: As the first official purchaser of this juice, I feel obliged to post my thoughts.

I can sum it up in one word: decadent.

I'm not even a Creme Brule fan, but this hits all the right notes.The richness is unparalleled. Deep custardy caramel with the best parts of The Virus (perfectly) thrown in. Best juice since PBC... and that's saying a lot.

MS, Just two but a third sure would come in handy at times. With the coil attached to my ohm reader, I hold the coil in place with the left and do everything else with the right. I just keep the screwdrivers and or hex wrenches line up on the desk next to each other. There is a certain amount of dropping and lifting involved but like I said, once you get accustomed to it, it becomes second nature. I also have a very good light and wear geezer glasses Err, Um, I mean optical visor.....:p

I also use one of these to wrap and hold the coils in place and or drill bits or a screw driver. I find that the coil looping tool gives me the best leverage and stability though and helps to keep the left hand out of the way.

The small one of course.

what I do...wastes more kanthal (but it's cheap)...and I'll try distorto's method the next time I rebuild...but...

I leave pretty long legs, leave screwdriver in, wrap leg around the back of the post and up to opposite side of screwdriver that it came from, pull tight and wrap leg around screwdriver, repeat opposite side, everything's nice and tight and you can let go of screwdriver to tighten the screws, unwrap legs, lift coil, snip legs, good to go.
