Great to see you SMT
You've been missed around here

Stay Well Mate

Thanks and nice to see you too Daniel in OZ. Stay well asMODus man!!! I'm never going to catch-up to you and NO WAY will I ever catch-up to @Zazie. Mmmm, trying to recall... nor with @DeloresRose or @SnapDragon NY (my fav dragon avi, BTW). Me thinks the Ladies have us permanently beat mate.

I am so glad to see you SMT! Been worried bout ya bud. Got a couple treats for you in pm. Sorry to blind you Posted some other pics of me and the family too, here and here. We did have a great time in the mountains on that vacation. Always nice to spend time with Ma Nature. Music, nature, and people are my three all time favorite things in life. Glad you're back bud.

Edit: Might want to check out this video I posted. And this.

Nice to see you too Rob. Wow, pics... you and Sue 25 yrs ago, totally awesome couple. Ya hippie!!! Young Matthew looks like a young Buddha sitting there. Haha, Rob the realtor could pass for a fortune 500 CEO!

An option for you and Matthew: Live Webcasts on nugs.tv ---> I know, not the same. On that page there is a free Bob Weir show (from archives) coming up on the 22nd. Also a Dead & Company webcast from 2018 tomorrow the 18th @ 7PM CT. It's from the beautiful Alpine Valley Music Theatre (~30 minutes from my home). @Skunk! may be interested too, IDK. 2020 is quickly being cancelled for concerts/festivals etc. worldwide. Safety for all has to come first.

FOH industry opine: Covid-19: Crisis and Aftermath
Live streaming will come to the fore as a result.

Ha ... switched over to a Dvarw on a Squid ---> awesome!!!

Kinda fitting for the current situation.

Nice one!!! So you like Steven Wilson too? Porcupine Tree? I've seen SW and PT a couple times each.

 

[TrollDragon]

Me too. Great deal on great wire. SUPER springy though

That it is, and it's a little dirty too. But a few quick pulls through the paper towel cleans it up. I use it twisted these days, works very nicely on the DNAs.

 

[TrollDragon]

Whoa, is that two kayfun lites? How'd you join them, the chimney I mean?

Edit: reason I'm asking is I am trying to make this work, but I need a chimney, or an extension.

Sorry I missed the question.

I used a regular KFL chimney and cut the upper part off of the long chimney from the Kayfun Mini 2.1ES.

I never used the Kayfun Mini in long mode very often as the long polycarbonate tanks eventually kept breaking off at the threads.

Joined the long tube piece to the regular chimney tube with a short section of 1/4" PTFE tubing (3/16" ID) the excess tube stuck out of the top cap but it could easily be cut to size. I never bothered cutting it as the Kayfun Undead drip tip fit perfectly over the excess tube.

Others have use aquarium tubing on the polycarbonate chimneys that Fasttech used to sell back in the Kayfun heyday. They just cut the tube off of a spare chimney and used that for the top cap end.

Those were great times and the Kayfun parts were plentiful.

SMT....good to hear from you. Do I detect some love on the horizon?

Things have been totally as you know they have been apart from a couple of dramas.... lockdown does funny things to some people...

Hope that you an yours are staying safe and well in these troubling times.

Cheers my friend....

Hi Charlie, thanks buddy. I hope and pray you and your health are doing better.
And that your lovely wife is doing well too ... keeping you in line.

Ha, this lockdown feels like when I was soooo much younger, in trouble all the time, and the parents GROUNDED me at home except now the company, food and toys are much nicer!

Dramas? Here? In the Land of Shiny? No ... say it ain't so. Insurrectionists!!!
What did I miss? PM me the juicy details, please. I hope Classy wasn't needed.

Horizons and love, haha IDK. Never say never, and all that, but I am still healing/reeling from 2018. After-all, almost 40 years together takes time... for me, anywho. Only time will tell.

Cheers right back at ya my friend!!!

Oh yeah, your purple uni poo is awesome.

The new panels look great. Please post proper kit pics when you get around to it. Are they from your Ukrainian source? He sure does excellent work.

I'm gonna end up ordering an Innokin MVP 5. I like their products.

I won one a few months ago, and I like it a lot. Just be aware it is quite heavy. Strictly a stay-at-home mod for me, but that's no problem.

In retrospect you did me a favor not answering. It made me get creative, and I made an extension using a 1mL syringe tube, silicone o-ring, and a couple tank pieces. It's working good, no vacuum leaks, and is sitting on my Hammer clone now. Thank you for the inspiration.

I won an MVP5 and Ajax here last December. The MVP5 is a very nice mod.

Everything I've ever had from Innokin has been good quality.

AVS has an excellent overseas shipping record, shipping from anywhere right now will likely take several more days than usual.

3rd RDA is the b2k - if you can find one over there. Here it is on today's vapemail

Wow, you did a GREAT job Blitz!!!

How many ML's does it hold? I'll offer up a guess of 20 or more.

Is that a Russian base?

I have several Russian 91%'s, a few SVM KFL's and +'s. And tons of spare parts.

Thanks, I was pretty excited that it worked out the way it did. I filled the tank from a needle-tip bottle so I'm not exactly sure on capacity, over 8mL but less than 12mL? The syringe tube section was cut at 40mm long from the shoulder to the bottom, but it could be extended another tank section if I used the whole tube I think. Good eye, it's a Russian 91% V2 clone base, with a Kayfun lite plus V2 clone chimney.

Shinyitis got the better of me last night.
Ordered another Xeta clone from FT - this time the YFTK version. My other one is an SXK clone which vaped great but one of the terminals broke. @charlie1465 pointed out that this was also a design flaw in the authentic Haku Xeta.

I was tossing up ...should I buy another SXK clone so I'd have 1:1 spares or should I buy the YFTK clone which more easily fits 3mm ID coils ? (according to reviews).
I went YFTK.

So in about July or August when this thing may finally arrive from China I'll post photos and do a comparison.

A dear friend, jammin' during home quarantine ...

Lari is a world class player for sure.

 

[Terri McVeety]

Seems they should have checked the puff counter a month ago when they got it, and complained then. But they were fine with it until it died. I'd say it's not your problem now.

Edit: Sorry, on phone and forgot to quote @Terri McVeety

What I was thinking. Had something to do with a button. I never dismantled anything because I saw people were having issues. Is an authentic so you have to hack in to even connect to escribe. I would never have guessed that many puffs.

thanks for your thoughts!

 

[Eskie]

Good morning shiners!
