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.

I don't have the KFL19 yet maybe next month. :unsure: I have the kayfun Prime, that I think has the same size build deck. It did take some getting used to. :| I really do like the charger though, my old chargers are Xtar VP2's, and while they work fine they do take awhile to charge. This charger is a smart charger that steps down the charge once it get above 4.0 volts. I really like being able to just drop the mod in the dock, and it is faster. :)

Well, I took the first build out of the KFL19 and rebuilt. One problem is that the KFL19 doesn't seat properly in my Coil Master 521 V2 mini tab. The connection between the tab and the tank is intermittent and doesn't give a good resistance reading. The build I have now in the KFL19 reads 1.8 ohms on the Dicodes Mini Box. Right where it should be. This KFL19 is the ONLY deck I've EVER had a problem with on the 521 tab. Not happy about that.

Besides the KFL19, I'm currently setup and running three other RTA's. I tried all three in the 521 mini tab ... Doggy, Dvraw and Ehpro True ... all three read perfect resistance in the tab and all three have the exact same builds and exact same resistance. SOooo I popped the KFL19 back into the mini tab and the resistance reading is "open" while it still shows 1.8 ohms on the Dicodes Mini Box. Something isn't right with the KFL19. Either the 510 connection is too short or something. Dunno, but not happy. Other than that, vaping pretty good while getting a few "pops" as the coil and wick settle into the KFL19. Good vape density and volume. Just the 521 mini tab deal.

Wish I could help, but I don't have one of those. I usually build my coils on my mods. :blush:

Curiously I don't have that problem with a 24mm Lite on a 521 mini tab. As for the length of the 510, there is a minute gap when mounted on a Paranormal 75c. Maybe the machinist was standing too close to the machine when he made yours.:rolleyes: Joking aside, I hope you can resolve it, the tank is definitely worth it.

@kas122461 I noticed that too about the charger. My battery was almost fully charged to begin with but I just put the Mini on the charger to see if it worked. Showed my voltage to be 4.17V to begin with and charged that battery @ 0.46A and reduced even further as it topped off.

The only thing I don't like about the charger is the low contrast of the display. I have to be just about right over it to read it. Pretty much like the pic from Creme de Vape. I guess I would say the display is well, faint. It's bright enough, just low contrast ... If I'm saying that right.

I wanted the 24 but it isn't back in stock yet at Creme de Vape, so I settled on the 22. However comma (,) I have a 24 "style" coming on the slow boat if it ever gets here. Will be interesting to see the 510 length ... longer ... or if it's a 1 for 1 clone.

I have had a busy week for a staycation. On Monday and Tuesday I got called into work for a few hours, so I got paid for an extra 5 1/2 hours, over the top of my vacation pay. I did not get to start any of my home projects till Wednesday. So first thing I did was cut out a bush that was way to overgrown, and it had vines and weeds growing threw, and all over it. I think it took me about 4 hours to get it removed, I still have to cut and bag up all the debris. I think it was around 90 degrees, so after that I spent the next several hours scraping the paint on a 10' x 10' section of the south side of my house, then got the area that I had finished primed. Right after I got done it started pouring down rain. (glad I used oil based primer)

Then yesterday I got some of the caulking done before going to my brothers house, for the celebration, which was a blast. :)

Today I got the upper section of that wall scraped and primed, so tomorrow I do a bit more caulking, then another coat of primer. That leaves me 3 more days to get 2 coats of paint on and maybe the small amount of trim. if I have the time I still need to cut the bush stump down more, and start bagging debris. I have one more bush that needs more trimming, and grass seed to plant, but the front already looks a hell of a lot better. There is a lot more painting and repairs I need to do this year, but this is a good start. :)

G'day fine people. I'm looking at a picking up a Provari Mini Silver Dragon. Has any company come with an extender so it can house an 18650 battery?
@Wayneo ... Not aware of any third party vendors, but any of the ProVari extenders should work. If you wanted to cobble a Mini together for an 18650, you would need two ProVari extender sections for the 18650 in a ProVari Mini. KEEP IN MIND you will HAVE to use a button top 18650. A flat top battery of any size will NOT work in a ProVari Mini. The batteries all have to be button top in all ProVari's prior to the P3.

Yeah it is kind of hard to read sometimes, knowing them they probably chose that screen, for its reliability. :unsure:

@Deemac ... I tried the KFL19 (22mm) on a ProVari Mini ... with ProVari beauty ring ... and the 510 threads on the KFL19 will not reach the center pin in the ProVari Mini. Won't work. Maybe it's just my KFL19. Dunno. REALLY glad it works on the Dicodes Mini Box !!!

Despite your problem, I'm jealous, I got my 24mm Lite in a swap and I can't afford a Mini. :cry:
