You can get 2 packs of each resistance. They have different SKUs, I guess, cuz MFS considers each resistance to be a different coil

@LittleBird, ruh-roh

I did so last night, ordered 2 Nauty heads @ 1.6Ω and 2 @ 1.8Ω. I was billed for 4 packs. I haven't gotten a shipping notice yet but ...

A few folks over in the Kabuki thread did likewise and when they got their shipping notice only 2 packs of heads were in the shipping notice. They were charged for 4 packs and their acc't shows that amount deducted. Someone opened a ticket and another has been calling unsuccessfully all day to see what's up.

Ruh roh! Shoot, I'm so sorry. It worked for me three times over the winter. I didn't buy anything with this sale. Perhaps they caught on?

Samsung Galaxy Note 2's were out 6 months & selling for about 600.00. I got one. Refurbished. $1.07. Free shipping, no activation fee with a 2 year agreement with the wireless company I've been with since the mid 80's & had no intention of leaving.

Let us know what happens if you can. The sale is good through the weekend. I'm not sure if I should try.

So I put a rayon wick into the VVTF w/ the vertical coil. Put a piece of rayon behind the coil and a piece in front. Pull them through, cut of the tails and packed it into the chamber. Looked good, what do I know.

From the side.

Made vaper when I fired it up. Still looking good.

But ... the draw was so tight I though I forgot to open the air hole on the Nauty. Nope air hole is open and juice is almost pouring out. What the heck. Tried to blow through the drip tip ... nope could even blow air through it in reverse.

"Light bulb" goes off. I probably pushed rayon under the coil when packing and clogged up the air hole. Tried to push a tooth pick through the wick and into the air hole. Yep ... definitely clogged. I Took a pin, a tiny screw driver and tried to unplug it. Seemed to work. Put it all together and tried again. Nope now it's passing air but flooding like heck. Took the head out again, took the bottom of it off to expose the air tube and pushed the toothpick through from the bottom to the top. Opps has a bunch of rayon strands down in the tube and it clogged the opening again. This time pretty tight. I messed up the coil some trying to ream it out.

So I took all the rayon out. Putzed w/ the coil to unmangle it and reworked w/ KohGenDo cotton. I though it would be easier and faster to use cotton. Had to take care and go slow getting the rayon in place.

Anyway back to trying to vape it. Well I had air flow and a lot of gurgling and flooding. I quit!

Maybe I have to pack in even more cotton to make it harder for the juice to get through the juice opening. It just above the red o-ring in this picture.

Ending: I think I took one for the team. I may try again ... but this VVTF is not for the faint of heart yet alone 69 year old eyes. I guess if the FDA came and confiscates all my decent toppers I could get this to work or not:cool:

No apology needed from you ... you didn't do nothing.

How did you do that?!

Sure will, hopefully I have a shipping notice tomorrow and I'll know if I'm in the same boat as some other ECFers. They shouldn't mess w/ ECF peeps ... word can spread fast and effect their sales. Seem the folks effected wouldn't have been as upset if a credit showed up on their CC acc'ts, yet alone a message from MFS about what's going on.

The chimney on a KF3 mini is one piece, so rabbit ears aren't possible. The deck is also very small; it's a 19mm atty. He wicks that way to maximize wicking material in/directly next to the coil, and minimize wick near/in the channels. It works -- just as your way works. That's the good news: all that matters is it works for you! :)

Corgi update? I'm sure he/she vapes! :lol:
Corgi update coming up! I got home about 10 last night. He gets cuter with more personality everytime I see him! He's less bity & more snugglie now. He still harvests grass in the yard & brings it inside, then snacks on it all day. I offered him some lettuce from my salad one day & he ate it & came back for more! He's learned to swim! They took him camping with them at a lake for the first time. I'll have to see if I can upload the video from messaging on my phone. Those stubby little legs just paddling away! Too funny! I started getting things in order yesterday to get ready to leave & he followed me around watching. I always try to erase any sign that I've been there when I stay in someone's home for them. I strip the bed, & wash & dry the sheets, & run the dishwasher. In his case, I also vacuum up all the grass. He knew I was getting ready to leave, & he had to have some lap time everytime I sat down. He did well until I brought my suitcase & other things & set them in the entry way to be ready to load. That was not ok with him. He went over, & laid down next to my suitcase, as if he didn't want me to forget to take him with me. He guarded my stuff for 5 hours. I couldn't get him to come & get on the sofa with me. He wouldn't play tug of war. Wouldn't chase his ball. He stayed right there by that suitcase. He broke my heart!

That is precious. No wonder you're so attached. It must be so hard to leave him each time.

You should see him offer to shake hands when I'm vaping. He always thinks I should give him a bite. He shakes with right & left paws to get a treat. I have 2 fruit flavors that he likes. He'll come over, & sit & offer to shaken first one paw & then the other. So I go get one of his treats for him. He can't have my treats!
I'll post a pic of him guarding my suitcase on the BP.

Well this KF V5 is harder to build then the STM. Went with 6 wraps of 26awg SS 3mm. My cheapo ohm meter was reading it kind of crazy but once I got it on the SX it was right on at .45. Got it on the wide open spot think I like the 3 pips better. Takes a little more power for some reason but it really has good flavor for 2 hour old juice. Kind of gurgles though.

Man I can't believe how strong the flavor is I had to cut it back to 420F. 425 was too much but the SS usually is a little noisy at first. Tons of vapor for a KF it is really different. No leaking so far I lubed the Orings. Not going to leave it on my Q overnight though just in case.

It's a class of tiny teeny-weenie little bugs. This is one.

And we tie imitations of it for fishing.

I knew what a midge was, but wasn't sure if you were using it that way or not. But wow...... can't imagine trying to tie one!! That's nuts! I have a hard time doing something while holding it under a magnifyer, but if y'all have glasses that you use........I need some of those!! lol Haven't found readers that are strong enough to make up for my real glasses then magnify it more.

they've always said you can get two of each resistance. I imagine it's just a glitch and they'll take care of it, but that's the second glitch in a short amt of time if that's what it is
