Svoemestro Kayfun 5

[deryk]

Hello folks

Well my geek vape aegis might be bullet proof but the kayfun 5 doesn't seem to be. I have dropped it from my lap to the cement floor at work the other night, and it seems like something shifted inside. The tank works if I push down on it . The screw pin is flush with the bottom like it shows in the pictures but when it fell the pin slid up a little..tried loosening it doesn't work get the check message... I ripped it all apart and nothing looks broken but when i tighten the pin to be flush it feels like it needs a few more turns to hold the guts of the tank tight but when i do that it isn't connecting I wonder if it damaged the 2 white little insulator plastic pieces...from the exploded parts picture would be #2, and the insulator that goes through #3...unless those are supposed to be one piece and mine broke.

Any thoughts?

one of the downsides of tight tolerance engineering (i always forget which is high or low tolerance) is it creates things that are easy to damage because small malformations cause big problems. figuring out what part(s) of the device might have been damaged could require a micrometer. what you say is logical though. that's the softest most bendy part of the device.

I emailed them with a description and photo...lets see what they come back with...if it is that insulator I am gonna order a few spares so hopefully I wont have to order it again later

I found a reassembly video, now it's in chinese, but around the 26 minute mark it shows that insulator as being one piece (mine must have broken) I slid my 2 pieces in through the bottom and was able to get the tank tightened and put it on a mod and it seems like it's working...gonna test use it for a few hours...definitely need to order a few of those insulators...they are fragile.

nope put the tank on my aegis and the pin slid up a little...so definitely need a new insulator.

I always find those type of threads amuzing that go like this.
"Even though I know the insulator on my atty is broken I used it anyway and the battery expoloded. I just don't know what happened."

Well the good news is you know what part you need anyway. I have a friend who is a sys admin and has this thing where the moral of every story he tells is “always make backups”

well here is a pic of the broken insulator
