Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

[MikeE3]

@MikeE3 do you have one of your K5's built yet. If so what do you think. They are a little finicky like all Kf's but I can get over the seeping. I just take the bottom 2 pices off and wipe it out and it's good for 3 or 4 more tanks. They're not like a KFL but with the MTL kit heard they work great for people who like to vape like that. Have to make some juice today. Think I will try a 30ml of Blueberry Watermelon while I'm at it.

Ok @2legsshrt --- I'm calling you out for not reading what we post on the porch. I've paged you twice talking about the KFV5. And then you ask me about it.

Quick update ... I stopped using it until I put one of the air restrictors in. Even on 1 pip it's a bit too airy for me. And I don't have any leaking or condensation problems with it. Maybe it's you sub-ohm TC builds doing it ... I still a Kanthal type of guy.

@2legsshrt

Well Pat ... I finally got to building the Tobeco KFV5. I used 29g Kanthal (1st time trying it instead of 28), 6 wraps, 2.5mm Id for 1.5Ωs, wicked with Delasco Rayon. I'm using 1 'pip' for the air flow which seems OK for me, and the juice is open 1 1/2 turns. My juice is 50/50 pg/vg.

And on top of a Radius

Not a significant difference from a KFV4 but a lot less parts. The deck was convenient for wrapping the wire leads. I'm glad I went w/ the 29g, I only needed 6 wraps instead of 8 (w/ 28g) to get 1.5Ωs. 8 wraps would have been 'iffy' with the deck screws directly opposite each other. I like the 4 screws on the KFV4 - I can make my coils 'longer' and use opposite 'corner' screws to secure them.

And

@2legsshrt, I'm so hoping you're right about how good the Tobeco KFV5's are. I only took one of the 2 I bought out of the box today and looked at it. Then I got an email from eciggity w/ a 20% off coupon code. Ding-dong ... I order 2 more.

Welcome back MS, glad you found your way home. If there is one thing I've learned on ECF over the years, it's not to get rid of all your vape gear if you decide to quit (you didn't so ). So many people have rushed to quit only to go back to smoking and have to start all over again. Doesn't sound like you went back to the stinkies, actually you didn't, yet you're back and we're happy to have you here again.

Please, anyone giving up vaping now, hang onto your because it very likely won't be so easy to replace it on down the line.

Oh, I was completely done with vaping. Kept saying "I'm tired of carrying this thing around, I'm tired of rewicking, juice leaking, charging batteries, I'm going to save so much money, etc.."

I missed vaping the whole time though and I was really unhappy without it despite all the hangups that come with it.

There wasn't any urge to smoke though and I was glad for that. While I was here last time, I kinda drifted away from the Porch but I did wonder how you guys were doing while I quit vaping.

And

I's sorry Mike. Just been really busy here. From what I hear the people like the middle size MTL the best. The condensation starts after about 3-5 tank fulls but it's not that big a deal. I have read a lot of guys that use Kanthal also. I'm subohm but I don't run it anything like people run cloud blowers. I am running it at 420F 23J which is only using 3.5v. Many have said that without the MTL kit it is also too airy for them. For me I run it wide open and it is just right. If you remember to let your finger off the fire button before you stop your puff you'll even have less problem with the condensation. Also if you are going to leave it laying on its side close the JC. That may not be a problem for you because your air inlet will be I think 2.2mm compared to 3.2 on mine. If you do get a little condensation it's an easy fix. Just remove the 510 screw and remove the 2 base pieces and wipe them with a tissue. Put it back together and be sure to tighten the 510 screw good and your good for another 4 or 5 tankfuls. I open my JF just a litlle over 1 turn. Svoe Mesto says in their instructions that 2 full turns is wide open and you can use anything under that to your liking.

Well YiHi got their newest 3 mods out in prototype. The most expensive one is going to be $300. It has the SX550J chip, with a huge color screen that you can adjust through your cell phone via bluetooth. You can toggle through the menu items with a joystick type of deal which I haven't really seen yet. Perry at Varitube has a video of the chip on his FB page. Insanity at it's best. The screen looks to be about 1 1/2" square. They aren't available for sale yet but they got the chip and prototype out before the 8-8 deadline.

That's great! Now you can just vape 0nic & just because you want to, not because you have to!

 

[2legsshrt]

This is supposed to be the most advanced chip and mod on the market if you want to check out the specs here is the link
SXmini - G+ Class - Dual 18650 200W

 

[2legsshrt]

Oh I guess they got 4 prototypes out to beat the deadline. Those tricky little Chinese. Plus they waited long enough that no one will be able to copy them. Looks like the chip will be available for modders too.

But how are we supposed to adjust it if none of our teeth are blue?

Kwit brushing.

Well thanks guys for turning me on to that little scratcher pen. My old S class almost 2 years old was starting to act wonky so I took the atomizer apart dryburned the Kanthal coil clean my contacts with that little scratcher then a qtip. used alcohol and it's back to working right again. I thought the chip might be wearing out after 2 years of daily use well nightly use. It's the one I keep on my nightstand. My resistance was running between 2 and 3.5 now it's steady at 1.5 like it was supposed to be. I gotta order some more of those. My contact on the mod was black and it wouldn't come off with a Qtip and alcohol but that little scratcher took it right off. I'll tell you these SX's are amazing. That was their very first chip,

 

[Sir Kadly]

Kwit brushing.

I did. I also drank lots of Mountain Dew for years. And ate lot's of sweets. End result, many thousands of doll ears to fix, or a couple thousand doll ears to replace. So no blue teeth here, just denshures. Still don't no y everybody needs these doll ears, how many dolls r there with missing ears in the wurld?

 

[2legsshrt]

Here she is as good as new, well sort of.

 

[2legsshrt]

Think I could sell it for slightly used but very slightly? My first SX

WOW just watched the Blue Angels at Sefair. Pretty cool even if they had to do their Low Altitude show. Imagine that clouds in Seattle.

Fyi - this juice vendor is closing due to the deeming. Nice of him to post some of the actually recipes for some of his flavors.
