@coldgin96 , what could be better then a 69 Camaro, George Lynch, and a good hook...


You're never going to believe this....
I was born in 1966. My Dad was 20 years old when I was born. He had a brand new '69 Z28 (Blue with the fat white racing stripes, I remember that because he was always peeling out of the driveway) for a few years because I still remember what happened riding in it on the way up to this very house to see my Grandparents.
He was getting ready to pass a guy when said guy in front of him slammed on his brakes and my Dad rear ended him. I still remember my Dad sweeping up the road.
Know why the guy in front of a us slammed on his brakes? A ......N SQUIRREL!
On a side note, at the time, we lived in Freeland and he was a auto mechanic at K-Mart in Saginaw. Commute was about 10 miles.
He told us a story about getting pulled over on the highway (not freeway) between towns. My Dad asked the cop why he pulled him over as he was going the speed limit. The Police Officer replied, "I know. Yesterday, I was sitting here and I saw a blue streak go by me. I didn't even bother to try. Please slow down."

Returning to the U.S. after one deployment, Whitney Houston appeared on base and sang for our battle group. That woman had the gift of an incredible voice I could not fully realize until heard live in a small, almost intimate venue, in an aircraft hanger. Say what you will, but that woman could sang. Enjoy :) ...

Hope everyone had a happy national hear fireworks day. Set off 24/7 by drunk people you wouldn't trust with a glowstick. The miscreants are okay, but in recovery. They aren't gun dogs.

I know I sound like a little ray of sunscreen but I did at least get vape mail today. batteries, Dicodes Charger, kayfun Lite 2019 (22mm), Longmode kit for the kayfun and a piece of candy ... and a free keychain screwdriver thingy. Three weeks on and still waiting for two packages coming by slow boat. Haven't even left China yet.

First build on the Kayfun ... this isn't a beginners build deck by any means LOL. Smallest build deck I own and that includes several Billet Box decks and various conventional RTA's. Super glad I've got a magnifier to work over. And that freebie keychain screwdriver thingy came in handy. It has smaller screwdrivers than I usually work with and need the smaller size. Resistance came out a little higher than I usually build ... 2.0 vs 1.83. Something may not be right yet. Same coil wraps I usually do. I may have to go back in and see what happened. Will see how it breaks in and go from there. Vaping pretty good right now. :)

Yeah, you'll adjust accordingly. The only issue I'm dealing with is the tightness of the segments. I initially did not tighten the window enuf between the stainless segments. Actually, I probably did but when you unscrew the deck from the tank it wants to loosen up a tad. I've been using a lever in the airhole to remove the base for refilling. It's just a matter of getting used to it and adjusting. My resistance on the KFL19 is lower versus the Kayfun Prime. Same coil.

My best guess for the higher resistance is maybe I didn't fully capture one of the coil legs. It'll bug me until I go back in and check it out later this evening HA.

Fit and finish is great of course. I did have one coil capture screw that was too hard to screw in and had to cherry pick from the spares to find one that screwed in smoothly. Both work fine now. I lubed up all the orings real good and will use a tank wrench and lever in the air hole as needed. That won't be a problem although I may opt for the Steam Tuner Top Fill at some point. We'll see.

I'm running with air wide open (1.8mm) and that is just right.

Yeah, you'll get it dialed in.
