Hello,

I dropped my mod on the floor. When I went to take a vape, I heard a loud pop and some air shot into my mouth. I took my kayfun apart and saw my top chimney cap 1/2 way off. Recoiled, rewicked, and tightened everything down. Everything seems fine now. Anyone know what might cause this to happen. Something happened when I dropped it, just not sure what. Gave me a little scare, was loud.

I was using a E LVT with a kayfun lite v2. 1.5 Ohm at 15 watts.

Thanks

The threads on the polycarbonate tank aren't very deep and they wear when you take the top off to replace the wick. I bought a spare for about $4 when I bought my Kayfun, but haven't used it yet. Cross threading also weakens the threads. When you start to install it, turn it backwards until you feel a click as the threads align, then screw it on.

dropped it.. The cause was physics of impact.

Mine has never popped the chimney, but I have had the plastic part of the tank pop a thread or 2 when dropped.

That happened to a Rose clone because I dropped it. I was sure it was ruined, too, especially since I had to use pliers to get it off. Nope, it was fine! Still using it :)
