Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

Yes we will know in a week or so. Priority shipping her some 100VG (I have 100mg nic in all VG).
Unless anybody else gives different input that makes me change my mind I will add 10% distilled water.
Thanks all!

I am probably late with this but maybe it will help someone else. I add 9% DW and 4% saline solution to my non nicotine VG base. It makes the perfect consistency for my 60pg/40vg e-liquid mixes.

Lots of vape dealers online are out of things I would have purchased. I had to search through several sites to find a Griffin 22ml rta in stock.

I have a box of spare tanks & parts, plus I have all the additional KF's I ordered. All of them are EHPro clones except for the one nano. I still need to order oringsn. Especially for that fill screw!

There's a blog by @TheKiwi which gives sizes for Kayfun screws and o-rings. Also gives sources outside of the vaping world. You do have to buy bags, 24 or so depending on the item. It's useful to know because they will still be available if vaping gets shut down.

Here's a link to the blog.

Kayfun Replacement O-rings and Screws! | E-Cigarette Forum

If the link doesn't work you can find it by checking his blogs.

The o-ring store is another resource for metric o-rings. You don't have to buy huge quantities of a size.

I thought I had the URL copied, but no success. I think it is theoringstore.com

Havent found replament gor for fill screw; bug id Someone has s fill screw for an Orchid V3 that fits the fill port bof my Kayfun lite plus V2 perfectly.

Then that would be the one! Some Orchid & KF parts are interchangeable. I have spare M tanks for mine that are Orcid v4"s I think.

I've read that the o-rings on the very uncommon keychain screwdriver work for the fillport....

That's good news! Every KF comes with those little screwdrivers!

They probably will, but may not fit tightly on the fill screw. That was my problem. Even with the replacement o-rings that come in the kit they would flatten, stretch, and come off every time I filled. I got tired of it and ordered the pack of 50 in the 2mm x 1mm size from www.oringsandmore.com. Those are tight and you have to push them over the screw threads to get them up to the head. So far they stay put every time I remove the fill screw.

That's good information. I may jump and try out FastTech if I see a low price on something great.

China is looking a little crazy lately. They want to annex Hawaii and most of the Pacific.

Yep, they are making their moves.

FWIW, I've ordered once (Tobecco Kayfun 5 clone) from Eciggity in Hawaii because they had a good price and it was in stock when no one else had it. I ordered it on a Thursday or Friday and it arrived at my home in Georgia on Monday morning.

I was impressed since I chose the cheapest USPS delivery option. 3 or 4 days over a weekend is pretty fast for the distance. It must have been on a flight or two and only touched ground to change planes!

I've had the same experience with them & have bought several times.

Correct some Orchid and Kayfun parts are interchangsble anf you can even make a Franken.Atty.

One ECF member extended the chimney with a 5 mm tube and somehow connected a round bell cap on top an M tank. He said he could put almost 10 ml of juice in it.

By the way. If Someone had the original Silverplay (not the Nano). You could use the deck and chimney from from the Silverplay and use a Kayfun nano chimney and Kayfun 34 mm bell cap and actually see the Juice in the Silverplay. O did that once snd very disappointed with flavor. I put tge Silverplay original back together, snd paid it forward when a friend broke his Atomizer.

Another little thing. I hated the ugly top cap of the Ohmega nano so i put it under s Kayfun 34 mm bellcap for less weight and sleeker appearance. Good flavor too.

Most Kayfuns but not all come with tge little two piece screw driver set.
I will have to try the little O rings On the screwdriver.

Thanks for the tip.

I almost got in trouble because of tge Kayfun screwdriver as i went through Security for Jury duty. I showed them ITE had two 2 2/2-2/3 inch screwdrivers do i could fill or tighten screws in my Goblin Mini. And btgey let me keep my screwdriver set

Japan tried that once ... seems like it worked out pretty well for them in the end

Yup. Use a piece of aquarium tubing. I did that. But no point to it, really, unless you want to breathe vapor all day. My current setup is 2.5 ml.

 

[tj99959]

Heck, my current setup is 6-7 drops.

My Kayfun also holds 2.5 ml.

In my opinion the little 25 ml bellcap perfects the Kayfun lite plus in 3 ways.

1. Pull the deck for building or wicking without dumping Juice.

2. Bottom fill without using fill port.

3. Compact and pocket friendly.

My I30 holdz 3ml. phhhtttt!!!!!

Feeling a bit sad. The mod I quit smoking with has died. It was a Sigelei 20 tube mod. Quite a cool mod, made of good thick stainless steel, with a Spinner type top connector that took Ego or 510 tanks. It was the most expensive mod I ever bought, about $80.

It's the first piece of vaping equipment I ever had die on me. Tried to use it this morning and it was acting odd. It wouldn't fire the tank. All that happened when I pressed the button was that the Sigelei logo popped up on the screen for a moment. I took the battery out and noticed that the spring had collapsed. Turned out to be the exact same spring the Silver Bullet uses. Thinking it might have been a bad battery I put in a new spring and a new battery and the new spring instantly collapsed without even pressing the firing button. Luckily the battery only got slightly warm on the bottom. I took it apart but couldn't see any obvious problems.

I never knew it had a hot spring. I didn't think regulated mods used them.

Sorry its bad to see an old friend check out.

Sounds like the mod was putting out s LOT more watts than it should have.

I had s similar problem with Sigelei 30.

I could vape my Kayfun on tge istick40tc at 12.5-15 watts.

the Sigelei30 instantly burned the wick at 9 watts.

I have the Sigelei75 in my stash. Hope it doesnt have that issue.
