Well Done! Clicking "buy" !!!
Truth be known, I'm more of a Stevie Ray Vaughn kinda guy....so I'd better keep the ProVari too. Stevie was pretty rough on stuff!

I dint realize it was you the last few posts...LOL.. you changed your Avatar !! Im a visual kinda old guy....

I think I'll change mine......

Edit: Ill change it when one of my daughters is here to show me how. Im tired of my "action figure of Sean Connery" Ill find another Thunderball photo.

LOL!! It was an accident...but I left it anyway...I figure with all the anti-ProVari posts lately, I want to be as hard to track as possible! I was called The Devil by a dude with a Tesla earlier! I'm thinking about sending him a few bucks.

HAHA !! Good Idea.... I gotta figure it out how to change it.

Interesting. My KFL does not screw in completely into my ProVari mini, the beauty ring has a bit of play in it. So, what do I do, I try to screw in the center pin a bit into the KFL to make it screw in better into the ProVari mini.... After I did that, I now get the E1 error on the ProVari and the center pin/screw turns easily. I could fix it by turning the center pin out by 3/4 of a turn. I just hope that it does not start leaking out of the center pin/510 connector.... The moral of the story is: if it ain't broke, don't fix it... Crap....

Uhhh, careful there - the KFL center pin is not (NOT) adjustable. If you loosen it, the positive post block will swivel into hard-short position against your chimney.

On my provari with the SV beauty ring my KFL is almost flush but not tight. The ring will turn, but there's not enough play to wiggle it up or down.

Any of you guys/gals try a microcoil/cotton setup on your kayfun?
Just wanted to know how it was versus a regular coil/silica setup.


Yes, I have and it like it better than silica. Here's what I did...
I have always done the little bow tie with the silica, which is what I did with my cotton yarn. But I decided
that I wanted to try to do a micro coil, so I could at least save the coil by dry burning, and just do a new wick.
Micro coil didn't work out so good, so I made a new wick and put a single piece of cotton yarn into the coil.
From experience, I knew that a single piece wasn't enough wicking for the channels. So, I tied a little knot with the yarn right above the coil. Then the ends went right into the channels. This has worked like a charm.

So, the answer to you question...yes, cotton works fantastic. Just need to abide by the channel "laws"

Serves me right for not finding and reading the manual for this thing :banghead: ... had to drain it, take it apart and fix it. Works now :) . Thank you for the help.
