Let's Talk Hardware

I honestly think the 510 on the KFL isn't the real issue , if you used the Magma on the MVP you've probably forced the center pin down on the MVP , I have to readjust the center pin on my Panzer following use of the Magma on it to get anything else to work , it's worth a try to pry it up first , it will take a month shipping both ways if FT issues a return ticket for the KFL base and you're likely to have the issue with the replacement .

I think it's a combination issue. His KFL pin is a bit too short AND his other devices centre pins are a bit pushed in. Yes, prying the centre pins up on the devices should work but I can tell you this much about my experience with the cheapo 510 pins that they have in most devices, once they start twitching and moving, they're pretty much done!

My clearos, tanks, KFM, and Magma, all work fine on the same batteries right now. This leads me to believe that the issue has to be related to the base on this particular one.

If it works with an adapter then all is good internally , the Magma has an extra long 510 that tends to force center pins down , sometimes the 510 in my SVD gets stuck down and I have to pry it back up , also if you have a tendency to crank down your atty's all the way , it'll do the same thing . It' worth 5 minutes of your time versus a month of waiting to see if you can fix it . I hate waiting especially if I don't have to .

I'm not sure if the 510 center pin on the MVP is spring loaded like the SVD but I have to clean it with alcohol and pry it up occasionally , juice does work it's way down there and gums it up .

I just compared the number of threads in the connection on this one, and it has at least one or two less than my working ones.

BTW, I don't like messing with the center pin for the same reason Dust mentioned. Why risk messing up the battery when every other tank I have works fine on it?

I think I'll just keep blowing clowds from my KFM while they ship me a replacement.

Ok , you've heard from Dr. Larry , Dr. Curly and nurse Bridget , Dr. Moe doesn't like FT so I guess the ER visit is over .

I agree it's good internally, but the threading works on only one adapter I own which is abnormally short. Even on a regular 510 to eGo adapter it won't work.

BTW, I'm just getting to know my KFM, so waiting a bit for the KFL+ shouldn't be that painful.

Volt, are you just wanting a refund or replacement? If you get a replacement it will likely be the same IMO. My sister has 2 KFL clones, one worked on the iStick and the other didn't. They both do now with the o-ring placement.

Phil has his P3 review up.. detailed as usual.

get an RSST with an adjustable pin and be happy

I have bad news. I love my Achilles dripper more than my kayfuns. They feel neglected and lonely. I'm sorry my dear kayfuns, you just don't make things taste as good as my dripper.

I filled the A up for work yesterday with 2 mls of liquid. The. I just tossed it in my work bag, said bag gets tossed in my car, then tossed in my little locker. It went in and out of my locker several times during the day, tossed back into the work bag, rolled around on my front seat a bit. Didn't lose one drop of juice. It's perfect

Dust, already watched that PB review. He got all bent out of shape over the auto menu. Perhaps the weakest part of PB's reviews is he rarely comes up with alternatives for things he doesn't like. In this case, he sorta said he would rather punch the button each time. He alluded to the fact that a large majority of Provari users told ProVape they preferred not having to punch the button so much. He also ruled out multi-buttons. So the menu access is purely a matter of preference. I don't see how this would ruin my day either way they present the menu. I was glad to see they resolved that loose cap/connector problem. That would drive me crazy unscrewing that stuff every time you unscrew your atty.

Drippers always taste better than tanks. Even my cheapy drippers taste better than any tank (including Kayfuns albeit not by much). That they design drippers to hold more juice and keep them from leaking so easily only makes drippers more attractive.

you need to try a RSST dude a tank with dripper wetness

just cause its a Genisis doest mean you need to use SS screen

Hardware thread. Link to PBusardo's Provari 3 review.

p.s - Robin and the General are both waiting on delivery of their respective P3's.

One of these days I'm going to pull my Genny's out and re-wick with Rayon. See how they do! Still have a DID somewhere here. I know I got rid of the RSST's but still have a couple others as well.

I think PB should end his YouTube career soon. Leave on a high-ish note. I didn't watch the P3 one but I did watch the veritas one and he sounds like an idiot.

I had an AGA-T2 and detested that thing. Built it using all kinds of ways. Most finicky atty I have ever come across. Jay Tater has it now.

I will come to PBs defense a little here. That Veritas review was one of his worst and is an exception. He did not do his homework on that review or come across as knowing anything of which he spoke. His advice on how to make it better was just so totally off the wall and bizarre...showed he knew nothing of what he was saying. But I cut him a break. He still does lots of good reviews that are comprehensive and very informative.

I just don't enjoy him much. But I'm glad you do. Long live Phil.
