Yup, he's gonna get another one or three! I'm really curious to find out how those kayfun Minis work. Still have to go to the bank and transfer funds. :blink:

I still say get another Lite vs Mini. They are priced more or less the same and you won't be staying with smaller mods forever..

Well, I received my Kayfun conversion kits today and I'm happy to say am now completely NR wire free. This works great in the Terminator-C. The draw is tighter than a KFL since it gets its air from the connector, but the vape quality is all Kayfun. I sold the Zapper wire welder. Now I can sell my Terminator internals and mouthpieces. I forgot how big and heavy the Term was, but now I can enjoy the vape without having to fuss with joining NR wire and measuring resistances with a ruler. 3 months on the wait list paid off.

So, what's the verdict on the iSmoka BCC that HHV is selling these days? Thumbs up or down? How would it compare to the ProTank or Vivi Nova (and I understand that the iSmoka is a bottom coil versus the VN's top coil)?

I've heard a couple of positive reviews but I haven't used one Pap. You might want to look at the Aspire. This one is all the rave now. It's a repurposed Vivi Nova.

    This is another version of the aspire , ego threaded looks kinda like an evod but 3ml capacity , I don't know if this was repurposed or not but this one's pyrex I'm gonna grab one this week , the first one I got is plastic but it sure as hell performs perfectly .

    Here we go again with wondering what is genuine and what is not. We have been told Aspire is the brain child of the NHaler guys and they were the only ones selling it. Hard to know what to believe these days. Gets harder and harder.

    Bronze I don't know why NHaler didn't come out with a pyrex version to start out with ,somebody else has already repurposed the pyrex vivi's as well , a strategic blunder on NHaler's part , I can't concern myself what's original and what's not I've gotten crappy replacement heads marked genuine kanger and noname heads that were flawless for my protanks. I'm only concerned with what works.

    I was thinking about those at Vivid Smoke. They have the glass ones. But was thinking of adding a K100 or K101 mech with it. With those 2 they give you a resetable fuse.

    Dusty, I probably will get another KF lite, but I would like to try out the mini with the Spinners I have, because I don't see myself not having at least two or three of round to go out and about with. If the minis are as easy to build/rebuild as the lite are and produce vapor like they do, then I'll have the best of both worlds. (At least till something else comes along the blows the socks off these, like a REO Grand VV!)

    For those who participated (and again, thanks) I've posted a separate thread in the General E-Smoking Section for the results from my poll listing equipment combos by price. ProVari Owners might enjoy that I listed them twice....

    Papaw, do remember the title of that thread? Easier to find if you have a name you can throw in the search box.

    I got one of the mini iSmokas, and it's performing quite well; no leaks, nice draw and vapor production. However, I had some juice in there (can't remember what it was, atm) but it sat in there for quite a few days as I was trying out the juice mixes of low and high nic levels, and when I came back to it the juice had rather plastic taste to it. I hadn't noticed it before as I was changing juice in it regularly, but when I went to the Protanks and KFL and then tried the same juice back to back with a protank vs the ismoka it was there sure as hell. Been reluctant to use it again since.

    Adam, however, swears by them and uses them himself. Just adding my :2c:

    A glass tank, now that sounds interesting.

    Been checking the Aspire out. Gets a good review from Todd also. You could look at the new Anyvape Davide. It uses the same head as the Aspire. New Anyvape Davide Glassomizer BDC Dual Coil 3.0ml - 2 Coils [gv-AnyVapeDavideBDC-CLEAR] - $21.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more *******

    GotVapes doesn't ship to Thailand. Too bad the heads aren't easier to rebuild.

    Anyone here mess with the Russian 91?

    I hear the added feature of the air flow control is kinda nice.

    Air flow is nice to have if you need it. I found the Kayfun Lite draw to be perfect for me, which is why I bought 3 of those instead! :)

    I just got my 91% from a group buy but the damn air flow control hole isn't threaded. The guy running the buy called me yesterday and is sending me one of his extras from his store. Said he opened to make sure everything was as it should be :)

    I'll have it here tomorrow :)

    So a simple "no" would have sufficed...I know your love of the KFL, but since we have the same car already, and the same mod already, I was trying to at least have a different Atty than you....

    Now this was more useful. Thank you, MW.

    While we are at it, how about the Z-Atty from ProVape? I see they have knocked the price down to 140....
