That's illegal here in the nanny state. My friend required a syringe to irrigate around some dental work. Had to have a prescription just to get one with a blunt tip needle. But for places where you aren't protected from yourself they're a nice cheap option.

are you sure that's correct? I cant imagine farmers, lab technicians, diabetic people, etc. doing without syringes. And out of curiosity, I googled "new york syringe law" and it appears legal.

kayfun started leaking this morning, took it apart and refilled, still leaking so I left that one home. took it apart again and knew most likely it had to be an oring issue but they were fine. upon further inspection I noticed the clear tank had a slight crack on the threads and when I pushed on this crack she just broke right off. I found an older plastic tank but when I looked at it I noticed it had the same exact crack on the threads in the same exact spot. I guess I forgot that had happened to me last year. anyways using the metal for now.

Makes sense to me. That polycarb tank seemed like the weak link in an otherwise brilliant system. I just started using Kayfuns a couple weeks ago so I should be good for while. I'm going to pick up a couple of replacements so I'm ready when the originals bite the dust.

The good news is that FastTech sells them for a dime a dozen. But the bad news is those are the same plastic tanks. I don't even think that they are Polycarbonate ones.
Could you please visit the Fogger thread again? I'm not sure about an airflow on that Pallas. :confused:

I guess it could be a slight weakness but honestly I have 4 kayfuns and have had them for a year and a half maybe, I rebuild almost every night on at least one of those four so they get a ton of play. this is the 2nd broken tank but if you think of how many times I have screwed and unscrewed the tanks, I guess its not to bad. the thing is though, I never unscrew the plastic parts from the metal ends, they always stay attached.

I'm going to start doing it that way, I've been taking everything apart. You have a good deal more experience with these things than I do. When I go to clean and dry burn, the bottom section takes quite a bit of torque to remove from the base. Do you think I'm screwing it down too tightly? I have a provari and a ring so I have to get it on pretty tight to make contact with the center pin. I put it together pretty snug so it doesn't come loose when I'm taking it off of the PV.

Keep an elastic band handy. It's what I do..

I have to actually twist the ring and the base at the same time to dislodge it, fingers are too fat. That would help get traction in the right place. Good call D.


If you can get one of those little bands that you put around your mod, even better. ;)

I have the Just Vape It one

Yah those plastic threads are a pain so if you just leave the metal ends on the plastic tank (both sides) it's much easier and there is no chance to cross thread. As long as you hold the bottom metal section as you screw and unscrew there is no issues. When I open up the kayfun I use one of those round disc's that is used to open bottles or jars, this gives me a good grip to unscrew the very bottom and top threads

Colonel, I believe you are. The brilliance of the K'fun design is such that you actually don't have to torque anything dead tight. I'm with K'funs since their launch in 2012, have six of them currently, and have never tightened them beyond the regular finger twist. None has ever leaked on me ~ or given trouble while disassembling. Fortunately haven't cracked any of the Makraloons yet as well.

Like Dusty correctly opined, keeping a few wide-width rubber bands help. I had to use them a few times on my Aquas and Spheroids. Luckily I have a boatload of them, Canada Post serves me a few with each package :) It's also wise to lube the O-rings once a while. I use Vaseline on them during every third or fourth tank fill.

Ya thats what I do here use 18 as a base and mix a bit of 24 for a bit of extra kick but I just quite smoking and still have a few smokes a day but that is fast coming to a end. I was also smoking 2.5 packs a day full flavor cig and in 5 days I am almost ready to toss my smokes. I be happy not to have that nasty nic stains on my nails anymore. Good luck

Slather some ejuice on the threads before you assemble it.

I use my 1.5mm allen key in the air hole...
