It definitely does light up in a kayfun , I'm getting nuances of flavors that I never got before , I can finally taste the tobacco in DF now before the KFC the white wine taste overpowered everything else but the sweetness .

DF "feels" as much as it "tastes". That becomes even more evident in an rba.

Yeah I do know thats why I want a few more so I don't have to wait until the tanks empty .

My thoughts exactly, I figure I got 3 PV's I might as well have 3 tanks and 3 drippers.

Yep, gather up all your other gear and toss it in the bone box.

Way to go Dreamer! That Dragon's Fire really lights up in a Kayfun. try moving the coil a little closer to the airhole and see what it does for you. Do you have an air control on that thing? I get plenty of throat hit w/18mg on my KFL. How'd you string your ekowool through the coil?

It sure looks like the bone box is going to fill up FAST!!
No air control on it, the draw seems fine the way it is. I have a air-flow control but I dont really think it needs it. I am pretty sure its either the coil to far away as I thought when I was done it seemed rather high compared to the video's.
Funny you mention the ekowool thats the only sort of problem I had. I was working from memory and thought you said you ran 2 strands of 2mm through yours. So I sat here for a good 20mins trying to get that accomplished with no avail. So I went back and looked and seen you were using 1mm. I couldnt figure out for the life of me how you got 2 2mm through it. I just ran a single strand of 2mm through it, and if I had to guess I would say it probably doesnt have enough wick in it, especially based off what I have seen the insides look like on video's compared to what mine looked like when done. Its has plenty of flavor and I havent got a dry hit yet, so I will probably just let it as is till it needs filled then tinker with it some more.

The EASIEST way to compress those coils is to use a small culinary torch (if you have one) or one of those small, light duty butane torches.... Even one of those 'wind proof' butane lighters (basically a mini torch). I just squeeze the coil with some needle nose pliers and blast the thing until it's bright and just keep the heat on it for a few seconds. Let it cool.... PRESTO!

Makes for extremely durable coils....

still waiting for my KFC... ...?!? heh.... No worries... I'm happy vaping what I got... In fact, I am probably going to snag another K100 and throw a kicked 18500 in it for the KFC. Set it at 11 or 12w then forget about it.

Never thought of that LeoRex, I will have to give that a try too. I have a light duty butane torch.

It's that damned Singapore post that has you screwed up Leo , I won't order from Fastech again until I see they went back to using Hong Kong post again .

Thats why I ordered from MadVapes, yeah it was twice as much, but I ordered on Friday and had it on Tuesday (today). I am pretty impatient when it comes to waiting. I am certain me and Fastech wouldnt see eye to eye.

Dreamer, in the event you don't have a calculator handy, use this online one to determine your watts. I prefer about 6.5 watts with DF. I'm considered a cool vaper but you figure out what you like. Try the spectrum, say from 5.5 - 9.0 watts to see what fancies you.

Thanks I been looking for something like that, I currently have it on 4.3v I just took the ohm +2

retic, SlowTech finally got back to me. They were apologetic about my SVD malfunctioning and said they would gladly let me exchange it (postage paid) if that's what I wanted to do. Don't know of any alternative. But anyway, I wrote back and said yes I wanted to exchange and please provide instructions. Haven't heard back yet but at least I got it logged. So I figger I should get this process over with by 2015 or 2016.

General like I said why let them keep your money for something that don't work right , I really like mine , in fact I sold my Vamo to Bunnykiller for his wife to use and I plan on getting another for backup , but if it malfunctions I won't hesitate to send it back , what gets me is the balls of some of the stateside vendors charging 70 -80 dollars for it with no warranty at all .

Sadly the same is also true for juices that are not as good..they just taste worse!!

The only thing that told me is, I need more BEER!!

I would expect as much , there's only two other vendors besides HHV that I am interested in one is Ahlusion's and Naturally Extracted tobacco .com and possibly GEJ in the future I think they are pretty safe bets with their NET's , ask Bunnykiller about his fiasco with pink spot that he got from a BM , although I've tried more HHV 's than he has I pretty much knew what to expect ordering different juices from them guess I ain't the adventurous type when it comes to juice vendors .

Boy I just came up with an Idea.... Butane powered units..
A hollow coil that allows a butane flame to flow thru it to heat up the wick no batteries, no chargers, just a push of a button on the Piezo igniter and FLAME ON!!!!

obviously it took me 3 beers to do that equation takes 5 to understand it

I still think a laser is the way to go especially since the amperage on batteries keeps going up .

definately need some kind of out of focus lensing system people fuss too much about hot legs, hot this, hot that, imagine 1W IR LD finely focused to .002" dia on silica now thats a hot spot!!

I also have a bunch of RBA drippers for the reason you mention. They are very simple and easy to change out the wick or dry burn or whatever. I use Phoenix RBA's. Very simple devices. Easy to build. Great flavor, TH, and vapor. Holds 12 - 15 drops. Ask 100 people the best dripping RBA and you will get 100 different answers. This is what works for me for the juices I don't vape all day.

Please no more fancy cheap links till after Christmas, I just ordered 3 of them.

Too late you're hooked like the rest of us ,might as well kick back and enjoy the ride LOL !

dreamreaper welcome to the zoo Seriously congrats on your first micro coil and I'm sure they will just get better with time.

Lets Talk Hardware...

Why I like my RSST. Its versatile, its a genny, its a dripper, its got a tank, it doesnt gurgle, its got variable airflow ( just turn the hole in another direction). Multitude of coil options, multitude of wicking choices ( still think the sea sponge would work) you dont have to empty the tank to rewick/recoil. It works on an Ego or a mech. (hell it even works on my Bench Power Supply for my Electronic use, makes mechs look like an Ego at low voltage with an Evod tank) (( this is a 1 hit only situation really ruff on the throat and lungs reminded me of the 1960's when the "Mosquito man came thru the neighborhood" ( when they used diesel in the mix Retic, do you remember that??)

Oh how true it is, I said I wasn't buying anything else till after Christmas. That was blatant LIE!!! I just ordered 3 of those drippers, some wire, some wicking meterial, and more juice from HHV!!!
Thats it till at least next week!!!!! I need to decide if I want another KFC or go with the 3.1 Clone and the real KFL+?

Thanks Iowa Gal, there is definite room for improvement, but I was pretty pleased with how the first one came out.

I don't let people get away with it either. I just get lazy chasing after them. I saw they had a long warranty period so I wasn't in a hurry. And it wasn't like I had to have it. I have other PVs here. I got the SVD primarily as a back up. But you are 100% correct...it's the principal of the thing. And to this point, SlowTech appears to be honoring their policy.

Yeah I remember that I worked for mosquito control for a couple of summers driving a spray truck you set the gph in the cab crank it up and instant fog , for some reason stupid ... kids on bicycles liked riding behind the truck while fogging I cut the flow first couple of times they did it but after that it was their problem as well as their parents , They probably have all kinds of complications from that now though .

Make a solar PV and Obama will give you a subsidy.

Yup I heard they're good about returns ya just gotta wait on the slowass postal system though .
