Kayfun LITE

[bsoplinger]

I'm going to try the thread-locking cup point style (p/n 90251A155) so that the screws hold their setting. These screws have a small nylon insert in the side that binds slightly against the internal threads and resists turning.

I had a black EHPro kayfun lite + get locked to my Stingray clone top cap because of the tendency of the airflow adjustment screw to work its way out. I'd be interested in hearing if they stop that from happening. My black edition from Artemis has the hex head and stays in place perfectly.

I think everybody should have this:

Can you use the 510 threaded die to chase bad threads by hand or do you need the die holding tool (is there a name for that sort of wrench)?

If you have a hex die you can use an end wrench to turn it. Round dies require a die stock ("die wrench", "die handle"). If you're just chasing over bruised brass threads you shouldn't need a wrench at all.

Always use lubrication for taps and dies. Bacon grease (lard) works well, actually.

^^^What he said^^^

The name is: "Die Holder" or "Die Stock" Mr. BNEAT will know better. I only know Russian name of it.

You shouldn't need a die holder unless your 510 threads are very messed up. For the most part you just hold it in your hand or you could use a pair of pliers.

Edit: For lubrication, I use an old Russian aliphatic lubricant. The same stuff that is used to thin oil based paint. Man, I feel old... I'm going to try Lard next time. Thanks MaxUT.

Maybe i have been fortunate, but i never needed anything like this. I have purchased about 15 mods and maybe 25 attys since i have started in rebuildables and not once have i ever said " I need a die thingy". on the other hand though, I'm sure I do have tools for vaping that most would say why.

 

[Daddy dan123]

Is that die thingy something to repair threads?
And is there a longer continuous thread on ecf bigger than this one lol

 

[ethermion]

Indeed. If I had an atty in one hand, and a tap & die set in the other, the atty would go in the trash, and the tap & die set back into the pile of cool tools that I would really prefer that I never actually need.

I have 3 real deal KFL+s. All thread like butter out of the box; no lard necessary. Zero problems. I like zero problems.

Because, I'm assuming you buy name brand products and don't shop at FastTech.

I think I should edit the name: Ultimate FastTech Atomizer repait kit. So I did.

That would be correct. Actually I have bought 1 clone before but I forgot what it was or where it is. I now understand then why this would be a necessity.

I received my Ruzar clone from Fastech today in record 4 days time.
It has the deck of a Kayfun, more the size of a Kayfun Mini 2.1, the coil sits almost at the top of the chamber sleeve.
It only holds 2.5 ml and is the same size as a KFL. Works good.

You haven't had trouble precisely because you have 15 mods. If you had just one or two your mod threads would be boogered by now from the cheap Chinese threads.

Buying a regular purchaser of both clones and authentic; I've never needed anything other than my Swiss Army knife.
Maybe I've been lucky; but, lubricatin threads has never been necessary on any caking product. A good thorough cleaning and I've always been good to go. And I clean and prep my authentics and clones the same way.

I currently don't use 15, that's how many I have had. at the moment I have 6 complete set ups. Chinese threads?

We're spoiled with the German-made Kayfuns. Many attys are made in China and their machining processes and QC fall far short of the Germans. I bought a die a long time ago and clean up all the 510 connections before I even put them in use. The only exception has been my two KFLs. Those threads cannot be improved on.

Hahaha my professor for the last 4 semesters of the electrical engineering program I'm college was a German electrical engineer retired from Siemens.
I gained a while new respect for German engineering. Main reason why I was willing to jump on certain authentic attys so early into vaping; well that and I used to own a Volkswagen that was built in a Germany. Huge difference between their German products and the ones built anywhere else.

Indeed. The Germans have always made good stuff. Sometimes to a fault. Many things go obsolete way before they wear out and the Germans never figured that out. I can buy a German-made machine tool that will last 75 years but technology will obsolete it in 10 - 15 years. So why add all the cost of heavy cast iron into something when it is not necessary? Why build a TV that can last 20 years when it will be considered a dinosaur in 5 - 10 years?

We used to build things like that in the US. My plant uses an American (brand) 32" engine lathe which was built in 1952 and spent most of the years since in goverment Strategic Standby Storage. I set it up as a dedicated boring machine and after it was settled in and precision-aligned, bored a 3.7" diameter hole through a 30" long workpiece.

Total hole size variation in that 30" of length was: .0002".

My Fastech kayfun has perfect threads. I don't know who made the other 2. Stop bashing the Chinese made kayfuns. I bet most are as good as the originals.

I know mine looks better
