I am in the have no kayfun Kamp :D I quit lookin' when I found what worked for me and it is the various toppers that use protank/evod type coils. ie: SMOKtech ARO ll's (last count 35 of 'em), evod glass (1 of each color), mini trophy tanks (1 of each color) and mini davide's (several of 'em). I do have various RDA's and a few RTA's for the someday down the line if totally necessary use but I can truthfully say, "I am in my happy place" with my supply of toppers. :)
How well do the PT/Evod coils work in th Aro II? I know I've seen something about it somewhere but can't seem to find where I put my notes. I'm wondering because I have a Sabot for my BB and Aro II coils are almost impossible to find nowadays.

I had intended to do like you and have all my clearos and spare coils compatible/one type only. It was going to be PT coils only. But, my BB takes Aro II coils and I fell in love with the Vision Victory. Plus, I have some leftovers of other older stuff that I haven't bothered to stock up on.

Stocking up on old school stuff is a mixed blessing. It's usually on clearance and very cheap IF you can still find it (like the ARO II).
You guys are all so funny :lol:

I've never been a carto fan although I have a stash and do use occasionally. I do still love my old fashioned 510 attys and have a large stash:blush: . My Reo gets used the most often these days with its RM2 and I am loving my Aromomizer v2 on my Evic vtc mini.

Heaven knows I don't need anything else in my stash :shock: but because I still can, I'm thinking maybe after all these years it might be time to try the KFv5 for myself thanks to all of you enablers. I'll let ya know what I think after I get it.:)
I wish I liked the plain old 510 atties. That way I could get them really cheap. But, I only like the higher quality 510s (like the Vapage Hybrid). Those can't be found in clearance or bulk sales. Not yet anyway.

I do like cartos, both in and out of tanks. But, poor QC is so frustrating!

But, the RM2? Yes! :thumb:

Like you, I just can't resist trying a little something new (to me) while I still can. I'm waiting for the Squape -R W decks to go with the Squape-R's that I just got for $2 each. And, I'm thinking of trying out the Griffin, Tilemahos, or Kayfun V3 Plus while I can still get them. (Now that I feel fairly secure with my stock of KFL2+).

This PA tax 'thing' is breaking my resolve to not buy any new stuff. I was just looking at eciggity and they're in stock ATM. hmmm? Would it make me feel better to get a couple Pico's and a couple V5s?
Buy THEM, buy THEM, buy THEM! :D

That busted me up. Explained what was being said to my husband and then showed him your post. He cracked up. Then he sang along to whole song. :cry:
I took the original survey but haven't received the follow up questions. I am like you. There is no way I would click on a link in an email. I might google it and get to it that way though.

The last virus I got on my computer came from a trusted friend that sent me a photo. Virus was on her computer but she didn't know it. Learned a very valuable lesson with that one.

I am still kicking myself for taking all the surveys I took. I really think the info we provided helped the FDA fine tune the deeming regs :facepalm:
We did do the right thing, great information was collected. (I know you agreed in a later post.) FDA are the geniuses that counted logos on a computer screen to figure out how many manufacturers there are. You don't actually expect them to use their brains when coming up with this stuff do you? :grr: ;)
I only took the ones suggested by ECF.
Jup.
Ok, since I'm not really a provari fan, how did I end up with 5?
Looked at the glower and my step daughter was here (convert to da vape!) and said that's cool. So ordered her one and got one for moi. Now, you hit this with a flashlight at night it glows like itz radioactive! Reeeely brite.
As far as the P3 sale from DFW... well, couldn't resist that either. Only had da polish wun but since I'm 1/4 polish I figgered it'd be ok. Now thatz shiny and 1/2!
So the mail can find it's way to your house. :thumb: I have a glow in the dark drip tip that looks like a freakin' beacon compared to the glovari. Kinda cool, ain't it?

I don't think you'll have altitude issues going through the Appalachian / Smokey Mountains. They're no where near the height of the western mountains. More like big hills in comparison.

Speaking of altitude. I tried a new trick I got somewhere here on ECF for our flight to CO.

The suggestion was to put your mods w/ atty's attached upside down in the pocket of the seat in front of you during take off and climb to cruising altitude. On decent / landing this is not needed. Something to do w/ pressure changes climbing and descending being different was talked about but I don't remember the techie part of it.

Anyway I turned them upside down on take off. Worked well for 2 Kayfun V4s (I didn't close the juice control left it open) and 1 Kayfun lite.

But on landing the KFV4s didn't leak but I lost 1/2 tank of the filled Kayfun lite. And, whoops, that's the one I had in my shirt pocket. Note, juice/nic stains came out fine from a white micro-fiber shirt. Just rinsed in the sink when we got to Katies.
I dump my tanks when we fly. Use 2ml ones for the trip and have it timed down to pouring out very little. "The Grade" is 2.4 miles with 1,500'+ elevation change. No problem going down but going up, turning it upside down didn't work at all. Suppose it depends on the tank. Best solution I've found is vape the whole way up and if it starts to gurgle, turn it up a bit to burn it off.
I am gonna sleep on it but I know me......
I won't be able to resist and it is very very hard for me to buy just one of anything :D
You've slept on it annnnnd? :)
Thanks for the link. They looked nice, however, I am not looking for a wattage mod.
They were in this section. They still have some great deals on stuff if it's what you're looking for. Clearance
All the special people use Kayfuns ;)
Hate not being special. :cry:

Well, I retired a few months ago. Then last week I started working again. Hoping to supplement my SS and stop me dipping into the IRA too fast. On the other hand now I have money coming in so I had no choice, had to get some more gear I don't need. Sure you know what I mean. I ordered a couple of KFL's to add to my collection of PT2's and Lemos. Everyone seems to like them and they were only $10 each. Now I have to start looking into spare o-rings and screws and so forth, which means hours of research on ECF. Are 2 enough? Any suggestions?

I kind of wish the FDA would just do their thing and let me get some rest.

My wife and I have made a trip to Cherokee or Pigeon Forge annually for 30+ years. I've vaped for the last six and never really noticed the elevation changes affecting tank leakage. I have noticed a juice film around the air hole a few times. I just wipe it off and continue on.

The difference may be that I vape constantly while driving. That equalizes the pressure in the tank. You did mention vaping the whole way up to counteract the pressure changes. That's the ticket!

The pt coils seem to work just fine in my aro ll tanks. These are the toppers I use. Even after over more than a year of using them I've only had to toss one. I think it must have had a crack hidden on it somewhere 'cause it started leaking. I do get an occasional leak and it could be from the pt coil but it isn't bad enough for me not to use them.

I was hoping someone had one of each. I started to search and read and that got pretty long for a simple question.

Hopefully, someone will come along.

I'll have one of each type when I get back home in a couple-few weeks. If you can wait that long for an answer.

Are 2 enough?

2 is a start ... :cool:

Other than maybe! o-rings, I doubt it. But don't have a V5.
I doubt it also but the authentic K5's are interchangable with the Tobeco. From what I have come to find out they are exactly the same except the logo is black on the tobeco and the top piece of the chimney that goes into the cap for refilling is a little sharp which is easily altered but I have been vaping the 2 side by side for 5 days now and they are exactly the same except 1 is $95 cheaper. I am going to order 2 more before the state law goes into effect. O also the O rings are a little thicker on the Tobeco but still the same size. They both get condensation from the bottom which is easily fixed by occasionally removing the 510 screw and removing the bottom piece and wiping the condensation out and putting them back together about a 2 minute job.

Yep I was able to get an order in for 2 more of the SS ones and use reddit10 for 10% off. They are exactly like the real thing and almost as clean. Oh and I think the screws from the authentics are a little better but the ones that come with is work fine.

This is the first atty that I actually like better then the STM for ease of build and the flavor. You can get a milder flavor by turning the JF down to 1 full turn and go to 4 pips on the AF if you want really strong flavor and more nic per puff just open the JF to 2 full tuens and go to 3 pips on the AF. The flavor will knock your socks off if you have a flavor you really love which for me are most of the ones I use. I really like them and I'm pretty sure the AF restrictor kit will work in them, I believe they are a 1:1 clone.
