Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

[clnire]

@MikeE3 , although I did buy an extra pack of o-rings for the Coppervape Skyline, do you perhaps know the measurements of the different o-rings? Specifically the ones for the tank section. The one I have built seems to seep a little at the tank section and my thoughts are perhaps the o-rings? everything is assembled correctly (even watched a few videos to make sure). I don't have a way to accurately measure mm/cm.

TIA!

 

[MikeE3]

Uh, guess you like them?

Yep, I need 2 more for Janet and the other two for spares ... or maybe for me ... not sure yet.

No, I don't know the sizes. Hmm, I can't remember, did these come with spare o-rings. If they did, it might be worthwhile just changing out the o-rings and see if that helps. Janet had a Prime clone, giving some problems and I just swapped the o-rings it shipped with and that fixed it up.

Not sure, either. Mine came with spares, and I also picked up (after deciding I liked them!) a few of these, for insurance:

Sounds like you did the same. Like Mike says, swap in the spares to see if that fixes the problem.

A quick search came up with this from Reddit - but note the caveat at the end!

Here is the list I made of the o-rings and their sizes, if it helps any. I'll take one apart and make some pics if needed.

• 18x1.5x15 Glass (2) (seats against the glass one at top, one at bottom)
  
  
• 14x1x12 Deck (1) (under the deck when you screw it out)
  
  
• 14x1x12 Deck JFC (1) (sits just under the juice holes, seats against the jfc mechanism when it's closed)
  
  
• 19x1x17 AFC (1) (under the afc ring)
  
  
• 6x1x4 inner chimney (1) (sxk uses 7x1x5) (on the outer edge of the chimney by the threads for jfc)
  
  
• 10x1x8 top cap inner (1)
  
  
• 13x1x11 top cap outer (1)
  
  
• 8x1.5x5 drip tip (2 each)
  

outer diameter x thickness x inner diameter (measurements aren't guaranteed 100% accurate, I just use a ruler which isn't the ideal way to size an o-ring)

Oh gee! I didn't see them or I'da added a few to my cart.

 

[DavidOck]

Next time, just add them to your wish list so they don't get lost!

Thanks Mike, didn't know if you had a micrometer to measure or not.

THANK YOU!!! I have a big assortment of O-rings so this is VERY helpful and worth a try. I did buy 1 pack of the Skyline o-rings, but nice to have spares for spares.

 

[DavidOck]

I just hope he was good with that ruler!

Dang I just watched the review by PB on the authentic $197. That's even more then a Kayfun. Must be pretty fantastic huh?

 

[DavidOck]

Uh, the authentic what?

 

[2legsshrt]

@MikeE3 Busardo has a video on his review of those being made at the factory. They turn out 2 an hour. China probably turns out 2 a second. But it may work $180 better. Who knows,

 

[2legsshrt]

Uh, the authentic what?

Coopervape Skyline

 

[2legsshrt]

In Search of the Lost Vape. Something new. I've given up on new think I'll just go back smoking much easier. Got nothing to lose right?

The Coopervape is a clone.

Must be pretty fantastic huh?

Fantastic is overstating it. It's more like a KFL-Lite with airflow options and top fill instead of need a screwdriver to remove the fill screw. You can 'dial down' the draw to be like a KFL-Lite or open it up for DTL vaping or cloud chasing.

Another 'plus' is it's one of the easiest atty's to coil OMO.

BTW what was PB's thoughts/rating on it. I haven't watched any of his vids since they mostly turned into hour long features.

He loved it. Couldn't say enough good about it.

So what are you waiting for ... you've probably not bought anything new for some time. Go for it. Break our of your doldrums.

I like mine enough to have recommended them to Mike... Versatile, well made, easy build.

 

[MikeE3]

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

OK with that consensus I guess starting to smoke is not the answer. To tell you the truth I don't even like the taste anymore or the way they make you smell. Too darned expensive and just don't work that well. I tried it for about 2 weeks and I can see how it would be easy to start. It was a joke anyway. I'd never go back to smoking just not my bag anymore. Plus I don't need to give anymore money to the govt. They get enough as it is. plus I have enough problems without adding to it. Do need to make some juice tho
