    Went by my sister's house this evening; her KFC whistles terribly. Would drive me nuts. I want some help to fix it, but need to wait until the weekend when I can have it here.

    Her SVD finally shipped today.

    Bridget , I've been doing some digging and there's bunches of complaints on the Ehpro KFL+ about whistling , some on the genuine SM's too ( makes me appreciate the 3.1's a little more ) but some have cured it by removing the AFC screw , some have had debris in the center post causing it , others have had to sand the air hole on the center post and the base , and others have had to realign the center post to make sure the air ports are properly aligned , if it's the last case you'll have to proceed with caution the center post is easily broken , Get with David , he had to sand his positive block some to get things lined up , seems it's really the luck of the draw on these .

    Retic, I called her and told her to try taking out the AFC screw first. She's supposed to let me know.

    Thank you for researching all that!

    Tech geeks can buy a t-shirt that says, "No, I will not fix your computer." For vapers, maybe, "No I will not fix your rba?"

    Just kidding - you are being a great sister, Bridget!

    And getting people off of cigs is life-saving. I need a time-out for being inappropriate... :facepalm:

    Ok, she said it quit whistling if she loosened the AFC screw. But she didn't like the draw, so she tightened it back a little, and has a slight whistle now. She's gonna have to live with it I think.

    Probably best that way , it's too easy to screw something up , if it ain't broke don't fix it . :)

    I do believe both. This one KFL is still misbehaving. I'll get it right or screw it up in the process. It's a juice flow issue.

    Nah I admitted up front I'd be OCD about it but you kinda simmered overnight , just don't wanna see somebody break their stuff , if I break mine , it's on me .

    Works fine for a bit then gets to much vacuum and slows. Cracking the cap corrects it for awhile.

    ahhh okay.. ever try covering the air intake and pressurizing the coil chamber ( blow into the drip tip) ?? it will put a positive pressure into the tank and the flow is increased a bit....

    I honestly wish I knew what to say about malfunctioning KFLs. Honest to God I have never experienced a single dry hit or flooding and I got my first KFL last summer. I've used both silica and cotton. In fact, I've been running cotton exclusively for the last several weeks. I change it after each tank. Wish I could relate.
