in the mean time if you have 32 gauge kanthol (maybe 30 will work too) you can take the negative screw out of the post, put a piece of kanthol in and have it sticking out. then press the screw into the post and it should tighten down just fine, its how ive been doing it for the past few builds. Im sure theres a way to use a tap and rethread the post hole to a slightly larger size to use another screw to fit it which is what ill be doing if my replacement screws are a no go.
Unfortunately i dont have any 32g kanthal. And i have recontacted the seller to find out what to do if the screws dont fix it and the post in stripped. He told me that he would replace the bottom deck at that point. So i will have this working right. It is just a matter of time now. I hate waiting.
I'm also curious about the Black Russian Ed. with red o-rings. Anyone order it yet?
Mine came in, it's basically the Russian 91% with red o-rings and without the name on the bottom.
How smoothly threaded is it?
Broke off the bit in the .......n airhole.. :/ Oh well, only $50.. at least I got some spare parts out of it.
One of these days I guess I'll have to break down and get a drill press.
Let us know how those replacement screws work out.
Just a first impression, but the "Black Russian" clone is proving to be a LOT more forgiving than the Kayfun Lite Black Edition. The juice channels are deeper so the wicking issues (constant dry hits) I'm having with the KFL Black Edition just aren't there. Build quality seems quite good on both. Now that I KNOW the problems I'm having with the KFL Black ARE the shallow juice channels, I'm hell-bent on fixing them.
They're all 'the j-stream one', lol, it's just whether you want to get it straight from the manufacturer or through eBay.This was super helpful - thanks Zip. Now it's down to the black russian (if the seller ever relists it), the Kayfun silver from the same seller, or the J-stream one if I can ever find the link![]()

With DHL express shipping, my kayfun left China at 8pm PST, January 23, and arrived at my door at 3:30pm PST, January 24th.
