Snagged a svoemesto kayfun Lite Plus just now. Ordered from In Taste. They had them in stock. Vape Rev did not. So this one will join my kayfun Lite original and will be dedicated to CAT. I vape enough CAT to justify the expenditure. Beyond this I do not need another Kayfun. I use drippers on my Neme to vape my nasty NETs.

Good idea dedicating KFLs. I have two that I keep in rotation and an R91 that sits on the bench for most of the game.

My BF mods are dedicated to HHV. One has Pirate's Booty today and the other is just about out of Gaia - which is going very well with me. So far with the new NETs, I think I like Maple Eh? the best.

I'm waiting on a preorder for a Zenith dripper. I can't believe I did that after telling myself no more preorders. I hate preorders. Also waiting for the GUS Lord Estia to be available. I expect it will go great with my GUS Lord and a Parker Sonnet pen.

You and Smitty, huh?

Not that it's bad. Just think it could stand a steep.

Yes, it would seem if you have a juice that is vaped often then it is justifiable to put it in a Kayfun. I have two juices that fit in that category...DF and CAT. That makes up 85% of my vape time. The other 15% is spread out among a variety of TOBACCO nets. The drippers and mech work great for that.

I posted this on the Big Thread - if anyone is interested, Luxor Vapes had the HCigar KF 3.1 Matte in stock again for $36.50, free shipping. Ordered mine a few hours ago, and received the shipping notice already.

Tempting... Congrats, Bronze!

I ordered my first one at around 10:00 at night (central time) and got a shipping notice within a few minutes.

I'm almost ready to put my Vivi Novas in a glass case just for preservation. I'm officially spoiled by the HCigar Kayfun 3.1.

I went back to check out a ProTank II just to see if it would be worthy to take to LA on the flight to LA next month. It's still sitting in the rack with half a tank of Whit Lie in it untouched in 3 weeks! Back to the Museum of e-cigs with it will go.

I think the KFM with some extra Spinner batteries, coils and juice will suffice for the in flight vape device, while one of the two KFLs & a Provari will be packed in the baggage with coiling/wicking and other supplies.

Wow did the other thread reach it's limit?

Good to see you again, smitighe!

Not really, it's just that Adam and Heather got the OK to join the ECF supplier status and someone thought our forum might be a good addition to the HHV subforum.


Little did they know what they were in store for.... Bwahahahahaha

Dang, ordered too early from Vivid Smoke - it shipped 5/9/2014 and was over $10 more than Luxor's.

Never had the desire for a Provari due mainly to the price and the hype. I don't like the whole if you don't have this or that you have nothing. To me it doesn't matter what you use as long as your not smoking. I feel the same about motorcycles and other stuff. To each there own just don't look down on me and I won't look down on you. That being said after seeing the video that PB did on Provape I may consider a Provari 3 when they come out. It depends on the specs and if I'm ready for something new. I found them to be an impressive company taking a lot of care and pride in what they produce.

So for the Provari people. How it's made vape style.

Aw, Chak - my thinking would be that it was worth the extra $10 for the peace of mind that it will be there when you arrive.

Part 1 done. As a manufacturing person, I found this to be very entertaining. One of Phil's best vids. I liked the end of Part 1 where they were putting the coating on the boards. Would not have expected that. Very high quality work. As a manufacturing guy, I would be vertically integrating the operation by bringing in the machining operations. It's doable.

If anyone wants to know why a Provari costs $160, this video will educate you as to why. It will also convince you the Provari is simply the best PV money can buy.

Part 2 later.

 

[DavidOH]

It does show that the cost is justified by all the QC checks they are doing.


I was shown an app at the vape meet that may help those learning to wrap coils. Haven't used it yet but I will.

I saw all those defective tubes and end caps they showed at incoming inspection. I don't know how long it took him to collect that pile but even if it was throughout their history it is too many. Machining processes can achieve 99.999999% these days so I'm guessing their supplier is not incorporating all the quality checks they should. Got to build quality into the product, not inspect it into the product. A little SPC would go a long way with their supplier and you could eliminate a lot of that inspection cost.

True. The cap he showed had a tiny scratch that you could barely see.

I bought one of their "blem" models (you get $20 off). To this day I cannot see where the blem is. Now, I will say the ink used for the Provari logo has worn off. But when I got it, there was nothing wrong with the logo.

I need a pair of AW IMR 18490's. I always buy my AW batteries from Super T but it appears they have gotten out of the business because they are always out of stock and have been for many months now. Need another source for AW IMR batteries. I'm staying with this brand not because I don't trust others but, instead, because this is the brand I started with and they have never disappointed me (not to mention they are held in high regard across the vape world). There are times when I shop by brand and there are times when I don't. I shop for E-cig batteries by brand...safety is priority.

Thanks
