yeah, but they always seem to torque just a bit, and then pull the micro apart.

Lion keep your drill bit in the coil when you attach the legs. Then give the coil a dry burn and if there's any separated could give it a pinch with some tweezers

Is anyone else using a Bottom-Feed RBA ?
On my RM2 there is one slight annoyance, nothing major but something I always seem to have to go back and correct. If the coil is located too close to the deck it affects the ability of excess juice to drain back into the feed tube and juice bottle. This seems to affect the ability of the coil to produce, as the airflow under/ around the coil is restricted by the excess juice. I have to slightly lift the coil with a toothpick to a higher position, then it hits like a champ. I've already learned to trim the wicking close over the feed port, and wrap tail around from the other end. Anyone else noticed these things ? Or am I the only bottom feeder here ? (did I say that right ? :oops:)

Yeah.... I have two 1/16 bits I use.... but when I mount the coil, it'll stay on the bit until I have everything tightened down. That does two things; keeps the coil from getting torqued when securing the legs and lets me position the coil exactly where I want it without it getting deformed.

Works great, especially when I build my dual coil stuff... I can hold the two bits with one hand, locking the coils in place, while I tighten them down.

Duh. I should have thought of that. It was just so frustrating seeing that pretty, perfect 1.5 ohm coil get torqued...I just saw red. Like a Hyena was nearby or somethin'!

Man, I never thought I would be dripping....

But VaperCon changed my opinion on it. Now I have a couple of dripping atomizers, one being the IGO T, which is sweet!

I am hammering Monkey Chunks, Gandalf Legend, Pirates Booty, etc.

Love the flavor in the IGO T, it is just spot on.


Still working on my micro coil technique. Since I am still waiting on the Russian Post Service, I am taking a few days off. The fool thing seems to separate when I land the wires, no matter how much I torch the coil...Prior to landing it when I test it with the meter, 1.4 ohms. As soon as I land its terminals, 4.4 ohms. Sigh.

Well once you get the wires captured and have it ready. Get em glowing and then squeeze em together again with tweezers. Do not do this while you are laying in the button tho. It will come to you.

For everyone here that ordered the Kayfun 3.1 clone FT says they will be shipping in 5-8 business days and they are shipping them with free spare parts including a stainless steel tank section and a 510 drip tip adapter as an apology for the delay, apparently the manufacturer had problems keeping up with demand .

I was watching a video of the Russian just today and the guy said that the ss tank section and spare parts were part of the original kit, as it is if you buy it from InTatse or VapeRev.

The 510 drip tip adaptor, however, might indeed be a freebie. With his he also got a length of silica wick and some wire, which may be due to the fact that it was a different vender. Just wondering how much is actually given away here. :blink:

It looks like they are putting in one already-made coil.....

Mine is scheduled to ship 11/12/13...ordered Oct 24th. :)

Smit...Craig put up a nest vid and I watched the whole thing. Interesting to be sure. But I haven't had a single wicking issue with my Kayfun from the very first draw. Maybe I'm lucky. Well, I am lucky. And that never happens so I'm just leaving it alone. But glad it is working for you.

I think the Navy nest may be too much for my kayFun… I usually have a problem with it over wicking and flooding the chamber, then it drips out the air intake. The cotton wick with the twisted coil I have in there now is working flawlessly so why fiddle with that? :unsure:

    The Russian is still a lot more expensive than this it's only 22 bucks so anything exta is nice lagniappe.

    Yep. I'm excited.

    I gotta admit, I'm pretty impressed with fasttech and the ordering was easy and I just like it. If this comes in with no problems I may end up ordering one more time from them. I want that SS Vamo 5 really bad. And a blue K100. And and and.....:facepalm:

    :laugh:

    There is nor reason to fiddle with it Chak. Not IMO anyway.

    So when did everyone else order their FT Kayfun counterfeit? What's this about some people getting "restocking" e-mails? What's that about?
    Mine was ordered 10/23 and due to ship on the 11th but no emails I think that the first people that ordered raised a lot of hell prompting the emails there are some pathetic people on the forums there it's actually so bad it's hilarious .
