Premiums maybe, but atleast they can order. I don't get places like Ahlusion in the U.S that won't ship to Canada. What's up with that?!

Ahlusion is not interested in growing and expanding so it's easy to cut off a whole country. Knowing your likes, I don''t think you're missing anything.

I was more interested in their Non Aros. And it's not my country he's cut off, he's cut off the rest of the world. No international shipping, period!

He (once) restricted his website orders and wasn't taking new customers. Wouldn't even let people create accounts. Must be nice to turn away customers...even in your own country. To each their own. That's what he wants so he's entitled. Personally, it was no loss to me as there wasn't a single juice I sampled (14 in all) that appealed to me.

There was a time he didn't allow people to create accounts. I got the message.

Funny you guys bring up Ahlusion. There was a time when all I vaped was either HHV or A+. I haven't bought any vendor juice in over 6 months and just purchased some Ahlusion yesterday. I always take issue with vendors who turn away business. Their business model is odd to say the least. If they had better branding and reduced their menu by about 70%, they could be a huge player in today's market. I still find some of their juice exceptional, their teas in particular.

Yup the 3.1 has an O-ring between the chimney and the cap as well , I'm still more comfortable filling through the top though , I figure that spring will wear out eventually and O-ring's are easy to replace .

I guess I'm just clumsy, I loose about a ml of juice every time I try filling from the top and I swear I follow the instructions to the letter! I do believe in RTFM.

I'm finding the 16ga is nealy as wide as the fill hole on the KFL. It's easy for the juice to back up out of the hole unless you have it in there just right. The 18ga tip will sink into the KFL making backflow a non-issue.

Thanks, I get the picture now. The mini has the O-ring on the cap and also between the chimney and cap - same as the lites, but the fill hole is on the side. Never had any problems filling if I use the plastic needle tip. I agree with Bronze and think a 16 gauge blunt steel tip would also work.

The KFL plus has the fill hole on the bottom, however the bevel is deeper and they included an O-ring (and spares) on the screw. Filling from a standard drip tip is now not an issue on this model.

I just find that Wlad is not interested in expansion. I think he probably wants full control of his operation and limits its size to accommodate that. To each their own. I'm just glad I do not care for any of their juices because I don't like having limited store hours. I want to order when I want.

I think they must have changed the website being open only periodically. I just ordered a few from there (per IG's recommendation) and have been to the site several times and not noticed any 'closed' notes.

You could be right Bridget. I haven't visited their site in a year. Back then they wouldn't even let you create an account. I got all my samples from other ECF members.

A+ has changed in some way such that they can handle orders about any time of day. No longer do you have to fill out an application to join the secret club or order during weird workday hours. Just filled a KFL with Smooth Criminal. Great flavor but it is thick as molasses so hope it feeds well. I do like their strong tobaccos just like NETcom and GeJ. A nice counterpoint to my HHV mellow goodness.

How ? I haven't lost a drop . Where do you lose it from ?

Well I got my colored tanks put on two of my KFLs this morning. They were a little difficult but I'm sure just because they are new. I like the looks of them but it does make it more difficult to tell your juice level. My current coils are really lasting well for me, think I might be getting the hang of this mini coil thing.

Got my fasttech clear kits today AND a bunch of drips. Quality is exactly the same from the tank I bought in Austin for $25 dollars.. That pisses me off quite a bit. I could of bought 4 or 5 kits for that price but fault really is on my for not questioning thoroughly.

After filling it up I put the cap on and get the threads just barely started then tip it upside down and the juice runs out the drip tip.

Might be that I don't have the cap on far enough and the juice comes out before the chimney is sealed against the O-ring.

I would expect that you would need to screw it down a bit more before flipping so that the top of the chimney section fits securely into the O-ring of the cap. Once that is secure, then try flipping it over and removing your finger from the air-hole.

Worth a shot?

I think you and Dusty are right in that assessment , I screw the top on almost all the way before I flip it and remove my finger , I never have a problem , It would be a royal PITA trying to squeeze 100%vg through that little valve , I'll try it for a novelty but I expect I'll lose some juice when do .

I had disastrous results when I tried it, good luck my friend....................

Thats what I'm expecting but I have to try it once just to be able to say I did just for S&G .

If it doesn't have a screwing hole at the bottom, I want nothing to do with it..

I'm not liking the location of the AFC screw on the bottom of the Kayfun lite plus but I'm guessing that SM didn't want to be accused of cloning the R91% and I got to say if the R91% clones are 1 to 1 copies I wouldn't care for the real R91% either , the R91% clones work but the airflow is restricted compared to the 3.1 I find the 3.1 more accommodating when it comes to dialing it in . If Hcigar makes another clone I hope it's the first Kayfun lite and not the plus , having to remove it to adjust airflow would be a PITA , Oh and screwing hole ? LOL !!!
