Happy camper. Only complaints now, ring #25 sticks and screws off when the deck is removed, and the valve is a bit stiff. Other then that all is kool.

It takes a while to get used to all the things that can unscrew. I accidentally unscrewed 28 the other day instead of 26 - makes a mess...
A screwdriver in an airhole is good for getting purchase. Many recommend removal of orings and lubing them with juice.

I've just added a chimney extension and glass to mine to take the capacity up to 6mm. Have quickly discovered that this adds another part that can be accidentally unscrewed.

Isn't the KF supposed to be filled thru the little port on the bottom with a needle tip? Or am I confused yet again?

Sure, but not the KF4, which is what this thread is about.

I keep a small allen key on my desk now for torqueing things tight. The 6 ml tank sounds good, good vaping means more refills. At least I can rid myself of gunked up napkins and paper towels now. What are you using for a coil? I have 30g kanthil at 1.8 single, wrapped 6 coils around a 2.4m screwdriver, Japanese organic cotton or my favorite, drugstore cotton balls.

6ml is good - makes the tank a bit big but I'm coping. The atty is authentic so I got the authentic "longmode kit" from cloud 9 for expensive. I think fasttech do a cheap 7ml kit, but can't be sure.

I've had it 3 months and my current build is my favourite - 28 ga, 3mm id, 8 or 9 wraps for about 2.2 ohms. JOC pads, cotton just touching the deck.

Used a dremmel today on the bore, must have been out of round. #25 now stays on and valve works properly. When #25 was getting stuck in the bore it impeaded valve operation.

Try as I might, I don't understand what you are saying. Could you explain in idiot proof language pls

The bore(hole) drilled in the bottom of #26 wasn't a clean cut or out of round. This is why my valve only worked a 1/4 turn, as part #25 would hang up on the inside of #26. I reamed out the whole in #26 with a Dremmel tool.

Thanks, understood. When I see "sticking juice control" I immediately think #8 is not seating proper in #3, cos that's what is usually reported.

Well done you on your diagnostics and fix, and well done for not running with my advice.

Now if I can only get the piece of kanthal out of my keyboard. Damn.
