Just got my hcigar hammer and kayfun 3.1 clone. Both very very nice. This is by far the nicest kayfun clone I have. Still can't figure out why the Chinese have such a hard time finding clear plastic tanks though

    Well... after poking around a bit, turns out that the KFC actually made it to my area, and was marked as 'Out for Deliver'.... but never made it. The last note, on 12/10 shows "Delivery status not updated" 2 hours after going out for delivery and nothing since. It SHOULD say "Delivered", so I can only assume that the usually rock solid USPS somehow lost the package. So I sent another note to FT saying that I never received it and expect a replacement (along with all the extra stuff they promised) sent out ASAP. UG....
    Leo did you contact USPS , don't let'm get away with it .

    Retic and Leo and others who ordered the KFC from FT...have you seen this? Geek, Sufie: FastTech Forums Free SS parts to replace the brass plated ones.
    Thanks for posting that RJ , I will definitely take them up on it but I'm not sure if I'll live long enough to receive it having vaped out of protanks the last six months which are plated brass I'm doomed according to Doctors Larry , Curley and Moe on the Fasttech forum .

    Bronze you were suppose to talk me out of it, not show me beautiful pictures of it!!!!!
    That thing looks sweet!!!!!

    ..........................

    Well after more searching today, and Bronze's picture's I couldnt hold out any longer so I ordered one. Then I remembered I wouldnt have anything to put on it, so I ordered a HCigar Kayfun 3.1 Clone for on it.

    ****EDIT****
    I got the magnet kit for it too.

    This is an expensive hobby. :

    Let us know how that Hcigar clone is. Wish they made a Lite clone.

    LOL! FT said they would make a separate item number for the parts...but I haven't looked today. Every time I try to make a ticket they want all these pics...and I ain't got time for that!

    Other then me plugging up the fill hole permanently it works very well.
    I thought I had a slight leak from the air hole, but with two filled for days, and one not being used at all there's no leak.
    My issue was the fill hole mostly.

    Okay guys I believe that I'm just going to try and start rebuilding heads. I'm going to start with the protanks heads that I have and I need advice on what to do. I know I want to use cotton and wondering if the peaches and cream one is fine. I also have no tools except for a nail clipper which I heard is one of the things I need so what other kind of tools do I need for this and where I get some cheap good quality kanthal wire and can someone explain what gage kanthal is good also.

    best advice.... dont frustrate yourself with rebuilding protanks but if you insist... a 5/32 drillbit, fingernail clippers, hemostats, 30ga wire, cotton or 3mm silica, tweezers, lighted 6" magnifying glass on a pivot arm, Patience of Jobe ( who is Jobe anyway??)

    30 gage seems to give a good ohm reading with 5-9 winds ( 1.5 - 2.3 ohms) thinner wire ( say 32-34) requires less winds to do the same ohm range as to where thicker wire 28-24 requires more winds to make the same ohm range but thinner wire ( hair thin) is difficult to work with

    because they did do one thing right they used polyethylene plastic for the tank it isnt effected by the citrus juices like polycarbonate ( Plexiglas) tanks. Lexan would be awesome tho

    Ohfergodsakes.... I ordered my KFC back when I was getting close to switching jobs... since I usually have my vaping stuff shipped to my office (I'm impatient), I had it sent to a buddy's house that lives a couple of minutes away from my office (I have a bit of a commute myself) so I can still get it as soon as whatever it is gets in.

    Well... turns out the KFC actually got delivered on the 10th... two weeks ago. But my bud's wife spaced and just put the package in a drawer and didn't tell anyone until I asked him to double check yesterday.

    So it's here... But I'm not back in the office until Friday, so it'll be another couple of days to get a good look at it.

    In case anyone's wondering, this whole adventure hasn't really turned me off to FT.... This is a pastime, a hobby and one that I don't plan on spending a ton of dough on. If I have to wait a few weeks to save 50-75%, so be it. As is, I have a mech, kick and some supplies sitting in my cart that I plan to order soon...

    But wow... I mean, I hadn't took a look around FT for a bit... it's been FESTOONED with Kayfun clones.... lite clones, full SS clones, plated brass clones, PLASTIC versions of the Kayfun, red clones and blue clones and.... (all said in the voice of Cheech Marin's char from 'From Dusk Til Dawn)

    I don't even use the Kayfun on my mech. :)

    Pix when you get yours Dreamer.

    Not sure what the heck I will use on mine. I ordered a 3.1 Clone for on it, but I dont ever seem to use the intended combinations on what I order them for. :D

    Will do, tracker says it will be here Thursday, but based off of where it is now, I am guessing Friday.
