Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[Kenna]

No I don't, but that's because I don't like banana flavored things so I've never been tempted to use that flavoring. Love to eat bananas as long as they're not ripe and squishy. It's interesting though, that banana is better steeped when other fruits don't seem to need it.

I don't like to vape banana either. And I'm the same way about real banana's. Once they get ripe they go in the freezer for banana bread or pudding.

Aww my Strawnanner is gud!

Last night I had to use pliers to get my wife's Kay Fun lite off of the istick 30. I didnt really notice when I put the tank on the mod, but it bottoms out on the raise vent grooves on the top of the mod, and them screw holes work like a lock washer.
I haven’t had this problem using the adapters, this is our first tank that actually fits without the adapter.

Don't over tighten them when you put them on the mod. You'll damage the connection, & the battery inside the mod. No need to crank down on it, it won't come off. Isticks are notorious for having delicate threads, too.

I think they have all gone to stainless 510 threads unlike the early brass ones.

Just a barest touch of NOOX on them helps to prolong their life and give a better electrical connection.

That happened to Janet. The air screw of the KFL loosened and was 'sticking into' one of the groves of the iStick. I was a lucky ... with the point of a sewing needle I was able to reach the screw and work it back into the KFL so I could unscrew it.

It was 'locked' solid. I think I would have destroyed the top of the iStick if I forced it off w/ pliers.

Shew! Got lucky!

Those air screws do work themselves out. I have to screw them back in a little every few times I refill. All but a couple of my KF.s have dual airflow, which means I can screw those in a little further than I can with the single airflow & get the same amount of air. On the single airflow I have to leave them out more & have to screw them back in some everytime I refill.

Ohh Man how well you folks are convincing me to get a Kayfun

hmmm? I don't know about or have personal experience w/ NOOX, but stay away form No-a-lox. It was popular a couple years ago to use that. It's made for aluminum connections. I had a couple screw together adjustable mech mods. One SS and one brass. I tested voltage drop, then applied no-a-lox to all the threads and tested again. Yikes! I actually had less voltage applied to the atty under load then before. The drop actually increased significantly like .3-.4 volts. Spent the next 25 minutes getting that stuff cleaned from all the threads.

Ya know ya want one.

Maybe I am getting Altzheimered enough to forget all the problems with them and get one?
But then I won't be able to remember how to reassemble all the 42 parts!

Didnt think about that, I looked a little closer, and sure nuff, it was an air adjustment screw that bottomed out and caused the problem. the tank arrived with the "adjustment screws" flush, so in fact is not adjustable, lol. My next day off I will see if I cant shorten those adjustment screws so they recess into the tank but the draw isn’t so tight, were talking .025, lol.
Thanks for the idea!

ETA: haven’t yet had any trouble with the fill screw, but will keep a watchful eye as things wear!

Fill screws haven't been a problem for me, either. The oring has to be replaced once a year or so. Those tiny air flow screws should just screw in a little more, but do unscrew themselves. Just screw it back in, you shouldn't have to shorten it.

Look into my eyes...[emoji15]....& get a Kayfun & never be sorry you did!

I've yet to have a problem with a fill screw backing out. They snug up after filling, and the slight compression on the o-ring helps keep them tight.
Yeah the fill screw snugs down nice, I like the setup!
Some take the air adjust screws all the way out, but mine are adjusted flush. If that's a happy place for you, just back them out a tad, use a toothpick to put a dab of rubber cement on, and run them back flush. The cement will be forced into the threads, lock firmly in place, and still be able to remove if wanted.

Excellent thank you, thats what I will do! This is obviously not a job for loctite, lol.

I told my wife the same thing, then noticed the gouge in the top of the Istick from that little adjustment screw.

We purchased these back around May, and they have stainless threads. They still work nice and smooth.

I turned them screws in as far as I thought I could get away with, just awaiting the go ahead from wife so I can put a little rubber cement on the screws.
She vapes at 8w so by the time her tank needs refilled them screws would be lost if there was room for them to fall out, lol.

Then don't get a v4. It's the only one with all those parts. Get a Kayfun Lite v2. It's the best one I think. Once you get it, the parts make total sense from first glance. Screws are small, yes. I worked on mine over a damp papertowel at first, just so if I dropped a screw it wouldn't bounce far. If I can do it, you can do it. And the flavor is sooooo much better than what you are using.

Just don't close off your airflow! You'll get flloding & no draw. Just tighten enough to clear the bottom a little.

Robert, I, too, am a die hard Protank/Evod/T3s user. I resisted yje Kayfun until a good person we don't see often on here PIFed me an Ehpro Kayfun Lite V2. After building single bottom coil, the Kayfun is very easy. And the flavor is outstanding! I still use my Pro/Ev/T3s most of the time, but when I am home I enjoy the Kayfun experience.

Think I will just get a Golaith and a 200W mod.

My flavor is SOOO much better than a stock Kanger T3 too. Remember I modified my coils. The stock Kanger coils are pathetic.
I vape with a max of 2 ml of flavoring in 30 ml.
My custard is only 1 ml of flavor/30 ml.

I noticed a big difference in the Kanger dual coils when I started stuffing vertical coils in them, but 28guage kanthal is the smallest wire I have, and Ive been curious if 30 gauge kanthal might make even better flavor. My wife won't even pick up the T3 since she got the Kay fun lite!
Welp gotta head for the Coast soon, take care...
