crxess,

It's too bad you are all the way in Williamsport, we have beautiful weather down here on the gulf coast and I'd love to buy you a beer!

It looks like there is also a preorder up for a kayfun clone in black or gold color. Not a black edition, but looks pretty cool. Looks like they aren't shipping until May though. Anyone get any of these yet?

I'd love to Kick back and enjoy that Beer. Please enjoy one for me. :)
Hmmmm........ With the New Nemesis Anodized Tubes(FT dull finish) those might get me in trouble.:ohmy:

Here is a really easy way to wick a kayfun with cotton. Its pretty much foolproof.

Sorry for the crappy pics. You basically pull the wicks straight up and screw the chimney on. Then cut them even a bit above the chimney. Then fold them in an S pattern into the wells making sure to NOT block the juice channels. Just lightly place them in there. Pbusardo used this method in his video. Probably better to watch that than go off of my crappy pictures. Hope this helps!

Anyone received their BE from privatedeal yet? I received a tracking number 2-3 days ago, and eBay says delivery by today latest, but tracking shows that he's simply registered the tracking number. Thing's not even with USPS yet.

I'm in the same boat, been stalking the mail room at work looking for the vapemail, USPS hasn't been updated since March 26th.

So neither of you bothered to read the Notice on the top of the page that said HE IS AWAY until around the end of the month?

Whoa.

With all due respect, the orders were made last fri, and his "away" notice was until the 26th. He updated his new away notice later on. Given that he was available for a period after the 26th, it's not an unreasonable assumption that there was a chance that orders made last week could still be fulfilled after the initial "away" period.

And besides, noone's really .....ing or whining about it. Just asking around.

Just thought I'd update with this pic of juice channels on the new BE vs an authentic KFL+ v2. They are almost identical.

For clarification, the one on the left is the new BE (not the BE v2 from privatedeal) and the one on the right with the nasty gunked up coil is the authentic.

Here are the airholes. They look to be identical in size.

Hola! Got my new BE today. Just broke it apart and you guys are gonna love seeing this.

First off, the air hole is REAALLY significantly bigger

I can't really take a closer picture of the new airhole, but there is now a very significant milling of the hole's edge and I get NO whistling. At this point I'm just annoyed that this clone has no whistling at all, while my new V2 has a slight whistle. Weird.

Next thing. The juice channel has got a nice steroid boost. The original had a shallow juice channel that alotta people complained about, although I never got a dry hit. But check out this new puppy

Only thing that annoys me right now, they made the centre post screw parts shallower, which made taking it apart and tightening back on a pain in the ...

This time it also came with a free frosted M tank

Overall, ridiculously good value IMO. Whatever it was that people complained about before, it's been fixed. Still hate the new shallow screw catch, but ah that side. Loving it.

Alright. Update with baaaad news

1) the m tank sucks. More specifically, the threads on the m tank are horrible and doesn't fit. It's incredibly tight to tighten it on, and doing so causes the burring and you get scrapes of plastic on the deck. Hopefully I'm the only one, but my m tank is pretty much useless at this point. The weirdest thing about this is, it screws onto my metal midsection perfectly smoothly, which doesn't make sense given that it shares the same threading as the deck.

2) the plastic insulator that sits inside the atty (around the centre post) is stuck inside super super tightly for mine. After jamming it out, it refuses to get back in. I've tried for almost an hour to no avail. Thank god for spares.

That aside, thing is set up right now with double 32ga twisted kanthal at 1.3 ohms. 50/50 ahlusion apple wild woods and it's vaping mightily. If you like a loose draw, the larger airhole is gonna make you a VERY happy man. No dry hits so far

The complete absolute lack of any whistle whatsoever is incredible. I'm very impressed.

Plastic and metal threading rarely like to play nice.
My Nano kits sand Color mid tanks are a PITA. Back and forth, back and forth......... and suddenly they catch perfect and spin right on. :facepalm:Even thinking you have them right, when they are not and the tank threads will be trashed.:(

Some things I have had to work on/off slowly to chase the threading to match. It is a pain and takes some time, but can often be done.

Yeah I'm gonna spend a little more time messing around with that when I run my current tank dry. Maybe add a little more juice at the threads and be more patient. Aside from that and the stupid centre post insulator piece though, this thing works like a charm. The complete lack of whistle is just making me very happy right now.

Try it on another base. I got mine today and the M and my nano rings both won't work on this base.
I think the base's threads could use a light sanding to knock the burr off.
I have a full tank on my other BE. When it's done I'll try the M on it and I bet it fits.
The base needs a little sumtpin sumtpin :2c:

This is my first RBA and I have a slight issue with it now that I've figured out where to place the coil. Is anyone else disconcerted by the sound of air being drawn into the Kayfun coming from the side of it? I find it makes me want to move it to the side because the sound isn't coming from near where the body of my mod is. Hopefully I've explained well enough that you can understand what I'm trying to describe.
