Invite us over and prove it.

Everybody is invited! We can do a Vape meet and have some cabrito for dinner.

Monterrey is kinda near from the Texan border, and is one of the most important cities in the country. Actually as of yesterday my state has been getting a lot of worldwide publicity since we had elections and an independent candidate won the governor election with a whopping 25 percentage advantage over the predominant party, this is an unprecedented situation on the country and first time we get independent candidates.

Djakarta is actually a cool name. We try to keep them to two syllables or less. Our two departed feline friends were Koh and Sakai. I loved both names a lot. I'm trying to find something like that, but of course different.

There don't seem to be very many Burmese names that sound like cool cat names. I did find a couple more.

Thuza – angel
Khin – friendly
I imagine the "H" is silent like in the name you posted earlier, so it would be Tooza and Kin.

Ummmmmmm.......No But we applaud the effort, yes we do.

Sir Charlie is kind of liking:

Sanda and Thiri (the "h" is silent in Thiri). These are Burma names. Sir Rod isn't 100% sold on either, just yet.

Better call Saul.

My goats are Bhaji and Jitterbug.

And the name of the recently departed goat?

Does Independent in Mexico mean "not paid off"?

In regards of elections, it is a candidate that is not affiliated with any party.

Here in Mexico we have 3 big parties and many small ones, in the case of this candidate he is "just a citizen" (he was at the biggest party for 35 years, but he resigned since he didn't get a chance to be the candidate for the party… it's a long and convoluted story, but it's still an unprecedented situation in history and will open possibilities for the citizens to participate more in the government and even have a chance to be a candidate, so the democracy will get better even if it takes a little while)

Sorry this is long. And you can skip the words if you like and just look at the pictures. But the story is kinda' cool, so sit a spell, take your shoes off and read a bit!

It all started in 2008. A Glass Blower since 2004, Bert Langan, like so many of us, discovered vaping at a mall kiosk. And like so many of us, that e-cigarette left a lot to be desired. At the time, he didn't like, nor could he afford any of the drip tips available, so what's a glass blower to do? Well I'll tell you. He decided he could make his own drip tips hand blown of glass. And the rest as they say, is history.

Today, Bert has his own business Trippy Tips (Home page and he carries glass tips from an amazing group of talented glass blowers, who produce some of the most amazingly beautiful, durable and collectible drip tips one can find.

Like many of us, Bert moved up in vape gear and clearly he liked the Kayfun Lite Plus. But let's face it. The Kayfun is pretty utilitarian looking. And it's fairly complicated. And it's not easy to fill. So what if he created something truly unique for the Kayfun? Something hand blown completely of glass? Something that is one piece that would replace the chimney and let you see the build deck of your Kayfun and your coil in action? Something that would let you fill your Kayfun without fear of ever losing any precious juice? Something that would let you remove your build deck anytime you wanted to re-coil/re-wick? And so he created the Plasma Tank for the Authentic Kayfun Lite Plus. It, by the way, comes in 3 sizes. Small (2.5ml), Medium (3.5ml) and Regular (5 - 6ml). I got the Regular size as extra juice capacity is utterly fantastic in my book. Yes it is!

Tippy Tips Pic 4.jpg


I first saw this tank when AstroTurf showed a picture of his. And then my buddy Ping had to go get one. Darn you Ping! And then after a brief discussion about them here on ECF, I just had to learn more. So I watched some videos and learned that not only is the Plasma Tank just mad cool looking. It does some pretty nifty things for a Kayfun. Besides the obvious benefits, like being able to see the condition of your wick and coil. Besides being able to remove the build deck and re-coil/re-wick without fear of losing juice. And besides the cool factor of looking like your vaping a science experiment. Everyone who reviewed this puppy had one thing to say that really caught my attention. They all said using one is like adding a flavor booster to your Kayfun. Flavor booster? You mean my Kayfun can taste even better than it does right now? They all said it could, so sign me up.

But they're not easy to find. If you go to TrippyTips.com, you'll see they're out of stock. How do you get one? And how much does this miracle of vape-glass-ology cost? Well a couple emails to TrippyTips and Bert himself responded with they are available at Boulder Vapor House (BVH) Vaping Supplies & Accessories, MODS, E-Juice & E- Liquids in Boulder, Colorado, for $65. I ordered mine from them and I found they are also really great people. I also had the great fortune to speak with Bert himself (one heck of a nice guy BTW) and he let me know there will be other vape shops who will be carrying these Plasma Tanks in the very near future. Bert makes these tanks one at a time, and releases them in batches. And while they're not abundant, here is a complete list of vape shops who will stock them (just in case you might want to pick one up for yourself - Hint Hint):
  • Boulder Vapor House
  • Wyoming Vapor Company
  • House of Vapes
  • Vape Parkway
There is also a company Bert has teamed up with called PlasmAir that is selling authentic modified Kayfun bases paired with a plasma tank custom fit to each individual base. Every plasma should work well with any authentic Kayfun base, but each Kayfun base has slightly different specs due to the tolerances when they are being made, so with the PlasmAir they custom pair each one for the BEST possible experience. They are currently taking pre-orders on their website, and more information is available through facebook or instagram. They're not inexpensive at $190, but according to Bert, they will take a Kayfun to new heights.

Speaking of Facebook. There's some great information on the Trippy Tips Facebook page if you want to learn more about current and upcoming products.

So how has my first experience been with my own Trippy Tips Plasma Tank? Man, I love this thing! First of all, it's just 'UBER' cool looking. I love that the entire thing, including the stainless base is fused together. Not a chance this thing will leak. No Sir (or Lady). You just uncrew your build deck off your Kayfun Lite Plus, fill your Plasma Tank like you would fill just about every other easy to fill tank out there, attach your build deck to the Plasma Tank and voila, you're done. And how about the flavor boost? I started off tonight with a new coil and wick, so it may be a bit early to tell, but I have to admit, it's pretty amazing from the first vape. It usually takes a few hours with a new wick to get the best flavor (at least it does for me), but in just about 15 minutes I could tell the flavor is amazing. And if that's true, I can only imagine what it will taste like tomorrow.

I did find I needed to open air hole screw a bit as it was a tad tighter on the draw, but once I did, it's vaping wonderfully.

Well there you have it. I'd really like to take this opportunity to thank my friend and forum-favorite-son, Ping! Ping really helped me a lot with this purchase and if weren't for him, you wouldn't be reading this. No you wouldn't. Thus, if this was too long, it's all Ping's fault!. And if this was a little long, my apologies, but something this cool just needs more than a few words! Yes it does!

I'll end this with some pics of my own. Yes I will!

Most of my glass drip tips are from Envision Vapor, but I do have a couple of Trippy Tips. I got one for Christmas that's the same color as one in the picture.

ETA: You need murrini slices (aka tank beads, tank charms, etc.) to put in your Plasma Tank.

I'll be glad to take the blame for your long post. Well done Sir Rod. Great and accurate review and beautiful pictures to go with it. To me it's a must have for KFL authentic owners. I'm waiting for the release of the next batch. It really is a game changer.

Awesome review, RB! Now you're influencing me to buy one… and I've been spending a lot lately, haha.

Well, they don't call me a "master-enabler" for nuttin, ya' know?!

Most of my glass drip tips are from Envision Vapor, but I do have a couple of Trippy Tips. I got one for Christmas that's the same color as one in the picture.

The Slices are cool, but on the Plasma tank, there would be no way to get 'em in there. The chimney gives just enough space between it and the Tank wall to get a needle in to fill the tank.

I didn't realize this, but on the Bouder Vapor House site, they say this will work on Authentic KFL+ and Authentic Russian 91%. But I'm not sure it would look that great on the Russian I have with the Media-Blasted finish. But the flavor is just geting better and better and better that I feel quite sure this won't be my last Plasma Tank, For Sure!

Bummer. I have some slices, but they don't fit in any of the tanks I use regularly. I thought the Plasma would be perfect, but I see now how it's shaped.
