Please critique my fasttech cart

[Sara Love]

I hope this is allowed. I'm trying to stock up on parts for the kayfun lite plus. Does this look ok? Am I forgetting anything? Too much of one thing, not enough of something else? Having never rebuilt let alone used makes it tough for me to know. I just don't have a good feel.

This is sort of a post and run but I will be checking back periodically. Thanks in advance.

i dont know anything about kayfun,, but i would think the metal parts would hold up for a long time,, if i am right you could trim those amounts back to 1 or 2

I'm a believer in stocking up for the just in case scenario. You are spending quite a bit of money on parts that looks like they're all for the KF Lite Plus (if there's anything else in there, my apologies). As kross8 already pointed out, items such as the larger metal parts really shouldn't wear out that much.

Having said that, it might really be cheaper to simply buy 5 KF Lite Plus. It would only come to <$100 rather than the ~$340 currently in your cart, and you can use them or cannibalize them for parts down the road. Stuff like o rings you will always be able to get, so the complete KFs that come with a replacement pack will probably be sufficient. If you ever run out of those, you should still be able to find them.

About the only thing going to happen to metal components is damage to the threads.

Leave it to me to try to overstock I have already stocked up for the PT2. The KF was my 4th of July purchase based on recommendations from here. So now I'm just trying to make sure I have everything for this one. I have 2 Kayfuns.

Hopefully this crazy post gave you a chuckle for today.

I don't know, I had a little smile when I read that cart list

I don't know, I had a little smile when I read that cart list

i was reviewing my ft cart yesterday,, moved most of it to a wish list,,, taking a little time to think it through some more. (i feel like a hoarder! & i am a freaking minimalist!).. i have fallen in love with my pico,, i even considered buying 20 and stashing my kanger's in a box of only in an emergency. ok,, so i havent bought the 20 pico's,,,,,,,,,,i have 2 right now..........but its hard not to pull the trigger

 

[kross8]

deleted,, very much the wrong board on my part.

That's a lot of money for parts....

I would clear the cart and spend the money on well reviewed, complete Kayfuns instead.

For that much money you could have 20 to 30 of them, and many of them come with spare parts.

 

[Sara Love]

Off to clear my cart and buy just the kayfuns but before I go is there anything I should be stocking up on for them?

Thanks again for all your help

 

[Eskie]

You'll always be able to buy wire and wick stuff. The only thing you absolutely need to buy (not from FT in all likelihood) is nic to mix your own juice. A dozen KFs with no juice to put in them won't be helpful if the worst happens.

 

[Zipslack]

I agree that it would be cheaper to buy full tanks and get spare glass and o-rings.

 

[BuddJohnson]

The Kayfun bases in your order have very narrow juice channels. I would avoid that particular sku and find one of the bases with bigger channels.

Not necessarily.

If she is a Mouth to Lung vaper she got tge right ones.

If she liked direct lung i would recommend the Kayfun Monster Mini V3

But don't get tge Monster Mini V3 with 528 Customs on the bottom. The standard Kayfun barrel will not fit on the 528 Customs bases.

Good idea but have to agree with Eskie. I bought an authentic new in the UK for £50. I could buy a few for the money you will spend.

Bare in mind that the entire chimney has not on your order list and also no drip tips. Without one or the other your order is no good.

My authentic is as good as new after 6 months. Just invest in a few and more acrylic tanks and you'll be fine.

I see that you decided to order complete Kayfun lites, but in response to your earlier question, I have been using the basses and bell cap kits for well over a year now and I love them. I retired all my other tanks. They feed quite well for me. I have had to rebuild 1 base in the last year due to a stripped screw. I have retired 2 bell caps for stripped threads in the plastic. I ordered the chimney caps because I get less leakage when the longer chimney sticks through the upper o-ring. I did have to drill the hole larger in my drip tips to fit over them. YMMV. I received an order today with this item $6.85 Replacement PC Bell Cap Set for Kayfun Lite Five Pawns (7 Pieces) 7-pack - ships one of each color / w/ 510 drip tip at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping Great price but I wasn't impressed with them. The chimney was built into the cap and they were very mini sized, maybe 2 ml. You will need a larger assortment of o-rings. Here is the actual o-rings you need Kayfun Replacement O-rings and Screws! | E-Cigarette Forum . I ordered a 100 each and it was less than 20 bucks. Just my thought, but I would only order the bell cap kits and plenty of replacement caps. I haven't lost a chimney yet, even the plastic chimneys. I keep 4 tanks in rotation, but only use one of them 90% of the time for my ADV. They hold up really well and I rewick every 3 or 4 days.
