Hey, hope all's well and everyone had a great weekend. I just got an email from vaping Watch about a "Huge Warehouse Sale" - "25% OFF ALL IN STOCK PRODUCTS - PLUS FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $100.00. SALE STARTS @ 12:01 AM FRIDAY MORNING— SEPTEMBER 12, 2014 And runs through SALE ENDS @ 11:59 PM SUNDAY EVENING — SEPTEMBER 14, 2014."

Hopefully that includes RBFS. They all appear to be in stock right now. It will give me a chance to taste some 15ml of a few I've been waiting to try (the Pipes, Caven Fever, Count Caramel, etc.)

I should have the three new NETs from Mushroom Vapes tomorrow and will try to post my thoughts once I've had a chance to sample them.
Yep, that sale includes the RBFS line! You may want to consider going 30s with the new pipes, they're that good ;)

A little birdy also told me there will be new cigar NETs added soon.

Not if you check it on a daily basis, and catch them as they are released. ;)
I used to check the FT new releases fairly often, but there was a large gap when I wasn't buying hardware or keeping up with the new releases. I thought I would browse them to see what's new but there's like around 900 mechs alone now (nope, not an exaggeration). Just crazy, was only a handful of decent mechs at FT just a year ago.

At least a pretty large chunk of the new releases have been the latest fad this year, mods meant for 26mm batts. Those I easily ignore; I don't have a desire for bigger mechs and more battery sizes to keep track of.

Zen made reference to lowered nic levels in his Genesis line because they delivered juice-to-vapor more efficiently (iirc) hence the nic delivery is enhanced. Chances are the Magma has the same effect. I can say I've noticed it in the Veritas.
If that's the case I should be able to compensate by building my Magma with a little higher resistance if the TH is too much with my regular set-up.

I knew I shouldn't have done it, but I went ahead and did it anyway. Loaded up Admirals Pipe from RBFS in a KFL about 1/2 hour ago. Now I can't put it down and go to bed. :facepalm:

Brian has hit some really serious notes with these juices..

Every one of them that I've tried so far seem to be really solid vapes.

BTW, the Nest style cotton wick that I was using with KillRY4 was dark brown, and there was some gunking on the coil before dry burning, but considering that I put almost 8 ml of it through the KFL before changing it out, it was perfectly acceptable to me.

double check the size on that one. If i remember correctly, and we are talking about the same thing, it's for a 26650 mod and tank.

This one: $10.61 Full Replacement Tank for 30mm Kayfun Lite / Kayfun v3.1 ES - stainless steel + PMMA / black at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

No idea, honestly. If I can get 6 airholes on a kayfun, I'll look into what it takes to do so (obviously sans drill press).

The only things worth getting from FT are backordered lol.

So that's why it went from "ships next day" to "ships in 7 days".

I'd get one of the other ones, but I don't want to deal with O-rings.

....fine, I'll settle for the SS & Copper AFC. :rolleyes:

I like copper....as long as it's actually copper. The type that tarnishes and turns out to be copper-coated something else, I dislike.

(EDIT: Ok, so it appears to actually be copper. Why is it pictured with a phillip's head mini-screwdriver when the posts are flat-heads? Anyone get the wrong type of screwdriver? I mean, I have a PC Screwdriver set, so it's not a big issue for me, but it's still something I'm curious about. It's just pictured incorrectly. It comes with a flat-head screwdriver. This means you can also adjust your sunglasses/eyeglasses with it. Bonus value!)

I ended up finding this coil wrap calculator in the discussions page for that specific model.

-----------------------------

Also, the whole cash-in-mail thing was a joke.

I hope nobody took me seriously on that one. :facepalm:

However, I don't think he wouldn't accept it as a form of payment. It's just....how do you guarantee it gets delivered?

I mean, you can send it via Certified Mail; no idea what the additional cost would be to do so.

I certainly wouldn't just stick it in a plain ol' envelope and mail it, that's for certain. I'm not that confident in my luck.

If I personally were to send someone cash, it would probably end up delivered to the wrong address and I'd be sitting here :-x my mistake.

I guess I'm saying, if you're going to send someone cash, pm me for contact info.

I'm always accepting donations. :thumb:

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

j/k, seriously.

...Except for the donations part. You can send those my way. :D

The vaping technique I've used since I started almost four years ago---mouth-to-lung---has remained the same. I seal my lips around the drip tip/mouthpiece with the delrin tip between my teeth. I don't "clamp" the tip between my teeth, but merely hold it lightly. (My drip tips are all delrin or nylon, because I don't like how metal or glass feels against my teeth.) I press the firing button and first take a "primer puff" to heat up the coil, taking the vapor into my mouth, then immediately expelling it. With the coil primed and presumably hot, I fire it up again and suck on the mouthpiece of the PV with some intensity, taking that thicker and more copious vapor into my mouth, as much as feels comfortable. Then I remove the PV from my lips and hold the vapor in my mouth for a couple seconds, savoring the flavor, before opening my mouth slightly and inhaling regular air into my lungs. The air takes the vapor in my mouth along for the ride down into my lungs. The effect is to dilute the impact of the vapor entering my lungs. When I exhale, I get a second hit of flavor, sometimes with a difference balance of flavors than on the inhale. That depends on the juice I'm vaping, of course.

This technique is second-nature to me---automatic, natural-feeling, and very comfortable. I particularly enjoy seeing the vapor from the primer puffs, which is somewhat akin to pipe smoking.

A "direct lung inhale" is all aerated vapor straight into the lungs,usually with no primer puff, and with no outside air. It's rather like breathing, except that it's vapor-filled air rather than regular air, and the inhale is longer and considerably more forceful than a normal breath---you know, the unconscious kind we do 20-25 times a minute to ..

Interesting, but I doubt that I will change my existing technique.

Yup, I am also a primer puffer. Nowadays it's to enjoy that initial whiff of flavour from the puff and out of the enjoyment of seeing the vapor.

The habit definitely goes back to thee atelier days of vaping when primer puffs were sometimes essential with cartomizers and attys. it stayed with me ever since.

Yeah, it is the one i was thinking off. These won't fit normal KFL's. They are 30 mm in diameter. Also the air holes are on the tank section ? How will that work, aren"t they supposed to be on the building deck section ? A little confused.

Dusty, I had well stepped bottle of Count Caramel Mr. Mann sent me and it was very good. I will probably order more as it was not to sweet and had a well balanced flavor IMHO. :smokie:


I like CC too, and all of the juices are steeped around 3 months at this point. It's just that I like the others more so far. Mind you, I've not had CC in the KFL yet to figure out how well it does in there.

Take a look at the the threading on the air ring, then look at the base for the 30mm Kfun. http://i2.wp.com/vapingcheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/30mm-Kayfun-Lite-PMMA.jpg It appears the base would thread into the inside of the air ring and the ring's airholes would drop down over the base's air holes. I don't see how that could not increase the diameter of the Kfun, but FT says the ring is only 30mm. Plus, I don't see how 6 holes would do anything for additional air flow as your still using the Kfun base's air system. Go figure.

Yeah i did see the threads but i still don't get it, unless it's a specific kayfun that this is a replacement tank section for ? One that the base's ait system somehow aligns with these six air holes ?

I don't get it either, hence "go figure". Maybe the reason for six holes is to increase the chances of aligning one of them up to the base. I don't see how else that tank would fit the base and what would be the reason for adding more diameter to the unit? How big is "too big"?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasnt this originally marketed as for a 22mm KF and turned it into a 30mm? The whole tank screws down over the original base.. Look at your KF. This screws down onto the bottom tank threads. The skirt with the airholes fit over your KF base. There is just enough room between this tank and the KF base to provide air from the 6 holes to your KF airhole (small gap)..

Someone just screwed up in the description.. again. :)

yeah, makes sense. i suppose the air ring isn't making contact with the the outer diameter of the 22mm kayfun base, otherwise what's the guaranty that one of those holes will align with the air flow hole of the base. if anything, i would say it actually restricts air flow to the base.
