Kayfun LITE - Part 2

[Kyi]

I think they fit the regular chimney. Unless they make one for the nano too. What's the appeal with them other than looking cool?

Sent with no malice and not a whole lot of forethought from my new Galaxy Tab 4. Thanks Santa!

Normal chimney as in the full sized Kayfun tank chimney that is longer or the nano chimney? From the pics, it looks like a nano chimney but I don't know if it is the ACTUAL nano chimney or a similar one that is a different length.

The only appeal for me is yes... I think they look cool.. and I prefer a smaller tank in general. And maybe it's in my head but I always feel like I taste the 'metal' of the tanks and would prefer less SS pieces touching the juice.

I think it's the regular chimney, not the nano. If you have both why not go ahead, nothing to lose.

As we said when I was in the Navy: Reconoiter and report (check it out and let us know). I'm going to put a FT order together soon and might have to get me a couple. I never buy one of anything from FT.

[Kyi]

I sure will! It will be some time though probably... depending on FT's shipping. Ehh.. could be a while. Chinese New Year's coming up in a month or so. Perhaps someone else could shed some light on this. Either way, no biggie. If it doesn't work, it's just more money I've wasted on vaping stuff. Nothing new! My 3 Kayfuns have been collecting dust, I finally cleaned them out today and want to put them back in the rotation. I think with the bell cap kits, I will be motivated to tinker with them again. IF they fit, if not then I guess it'll go in my box of random vape crap that I don't use and am saving for some reason.

Jeez, give it a rest. Please.

Read back a bit, and see the post where a group of us agreed to make written statements, in regards to not bringing up/discussing the "authentic vs. clone" topic anymore...I was simply agreeing/joining that group.
Don't be jerks.
Jeez. And, please.

Speaking of bell caps...

I brought home a custom made bell cap, that my friend tooled up in his shop. There are so many on the market, but this one has a few little tricks, tucked into it by a master machinist.
One of these days, I'm gonna convince him to start selling these versions...blow the competition out of the water.

 

[Kyi]

That's a nice looking bell cap. What's the difference between this one and the regular ones?

Would your friend like to make another one?

If I told you, he'd have to kill me...and then you.
:wink:
Hahahaha!

He's so stubborn. He won't let me talk him into selling them. He's mainly afraid of people cloning his design...even though they are technically clones to begin with.
The whole "bell cap scene" started from one kind, generous guy in France...then 1 Q Vape company released their copy of it, which lit the fire.
I wish I could get him to incorporate some of my ideas, and start making these for profit...
Do any of you think there's still a market for them?

 

[Kyi]

Well, if I'm going to pay premium for a "special" bell cap, I'd like to know what I'm paying for and if its worth the extra cost and effort of obtaining one. As far as I'm concerned, the bell caps just look like the outside housing around the atomizer base. I don't see how it could be altered in some special way to make it better. So yea... I'd have to know what the difference was with it and it shouldn't be a secret.

If it was fairly reasonably priced I'd pay the entrance fee to find out what's different about it. I can also keep it quiet if that's a requirement.

Hey guys, I have a quick question. For those of you using the Kayfun bell caps, does it fit on top of the normal Kayfun nano chimneys or do I need to get some different kind of chimney? I'm about to order some from FT and I'm wondering if i need to get the kit that includes the chimney or if I can just buy the caps. I have 3 KFL all in nano mode so if I can use these just fine with the nano chimneys I have here then I will just get the caps without the entire kit including the chimney and base.

I bought mine as a kit from FT. I do have the Nano kit as well, but have never tried it. They are so cheap to buy as a kit anyway, so didn't really make a difference to me. Another friend picked up a 5 pack, cap and chimney for around $15 from FT. Go for it!

Without a fine tip juice bottle?

I can't even imagine any other bottle than this, for filling a Kayfun...works very well on lots of other things too!

Hmm, I have never used a thin tip or needle tip bottle to fill my KFLs except for the first few days. Have been filling with the regular bottles since two years now w/out any issues.

 

[qorax]

Q, looks like you robbed your standard K4 drip tip and tossed it on your KFL.

I think that's a GUS kiss driptip.

GR is right, it is a Gus KISS drip tip.

Good to see that everything is back to normal here

The latest word I heard (I believe it was from Q about a month or so ago) was that SM was planning a K4 Lite to be released in 1Q of this year. Does this remain the latest word? And still nothing on the design differences?

Let's just say he's got multiple engineering degrees...one or two of which, deal with things like "flow of liquids" and "pressure/vacuum systems"...and stuff...hahaha!!!! Sometimes, it's like talking to Sheldon from that show The Big Bang Theory. So...the cap isn't JUST a cap...it actually does something, as it has a design feature that promotes the e-liquid flowing to the feed holes.
"How?" you might ask?

I may not even have explained it right!

One thing that is safe to say, is that the threads are cut in such a way that they resist wearing down...something to do with having a more polished surface, so the metal threads of the Kayfun/Russian/FakeFun will have less friction against the bell.
