I got mine yesterday and the AFC ring is very loose. Is yours like this? Is there a fix?I received my View attachment 855959 yesterday. It has the same style build deck as any Doggy and it is very easy to build on. The only difference is the build deck is recessed compared to any of the other Doggy's. Still very easy to setup. The threading on the frosted tank section is excellent.
It has topfill and that works fine. Simply unscrew the SS top piece, fill and done. No leaks or issues. For me the vape with the AF wide open is like the SJMY 2k16 set to ~½. That surprised me because they have a very similar sized center AF pin. 2.3mm on the 2k16 and 2.5mm on the Bas-tard, a 0.2mm difference (info pulled from the FT forum). I was expecting AF like the 2k16 wide open. No biggie, just something to note. And perhaps it's just the clone I received, IDK.

Wicking is just as simple. My tails are "just" touching the deck.
It's an excellent vape with really good flavor. I'm running a 0.45 ohm Lightning Vapes 26/36 316L 2.5ID clapton coil and running in TCR mode (140) at 25w and 380F on a Colossal. I also ran it in wattage mode from 12w-25w. I thought the included SS DT would get hot but surprisingly it didn't until I got to ~20w.

I like the View attachment 855961 !!!
For me… is it worth it and would I buy another? Yes and yes. I am hoping they come out with spare frosted tank sections or the clear ones like I have on my SJMY 2k16 Doggy's. I don't care for the PEI spare FT, and others, are currently offering (but if that's all I can get). The only con I have is the AF ring spins very easily (subjective). It stays in place while you're vaping but if it's put it in a pocket/purse it'll likely move from it's setting.
@bigbob2322 you might like the AF on the View attachment 855963 as it is tighter and can be tightened further. I seem to recall you like the Doggy with the 1.8mm AF.

With MAP the price is reduced. And yes, I'm sure with shopping around lower prices may be found. Haha...
Can the base be disassembled so that the ring can be separated from the rest of the works? If so, a piece of sticky tape cut slightly less than the width of the ring might be applied to the part of the works that the ring fits around.
I have an SKX Bastd and yes the AFC ring is/was obnoxiously loose.
I "fixed" mine by adding an oring to the bottom part of the AFC ring.
I believe the issue stems from the factory AFC oring not being quite big enough to actually make contact with with AFC ring. None of the orings I have on hand did anything to help. They were either the same size or too fat.
If you take out the 510 pin, the base below the AFC ring can unscrew(don't lose the little plastic part/insulator inside that section). Then the AFC ring can slide off, and you can decide what to do from there.
I added an oring to the top of the threading that the base screw onto, and when screwed back on, it squeezes the oring up into the bottom of the AFC ring.
If I were to do it again I think I would likely just try wrapping a bit of dental floss underneath the factory oring to help it stand taller and snug up to the ring.
My AFC is now quite tight, but can be moved.
It's an excellent atty outside that issue IMO. Essentially a 2k19 Dog.
My SXK Bastds arrived. I built 1 and I like it. Yes, the AFC ring is very loose. I might try the fix, butaybe just live with it for now.
Problem I had was the first time I went to refill the whole chimney came out with the top cap! Easy fix, however, butaking sure the chimney was snug and not tightening the top cap snug. 2nd refill went fine.
Flavor is good. Glad I tried it.

Have you noticed how the throat hit is on the BSTD? I've found the Doggies lacking in that regard.
Mine moves freely too and it looks like they all do so far. I took mine apart the other day. The AF o-ring they have installed, and the spare, is too thin in diameter (1mm x 17mm).
All it needs is a thicker diameter o-ring to fix it. Like a "1.25mm x 17" or even a tad thicker (1.3mm or 1.5mm). I looked at some of my other o-rings but none are thicker in diameter than 1mm.
The O-ring Store has the thicker ones (I checked). They let you make smaller quantity purchases versus other o-ring suppliers where you have to buy 50-100 min..
And the airflow? 2k16 sxk style or sjmy style?
I have both SXK and sjmy Doggies and really can't tell much difference between the 2.
Maybe, perhaps, a little more in the BSTD, but then again, it could be the juice I have in it.
I had to put this down a few months, was getting frustrated. Tried it this afternoon. I think I wasn't careful screwing it in, twisted the coil perhaps in the juice channels on the bell cap. Shorted the atomizer.
Was about to give up and trash it. Decided to give it one more go. Was more careful screwing it together and double checked resistance when it was altogether, which I should do anyway.
Must have gotten everything perfect this go. It was a 3mm ID spaced SS-316L 28 gauge coil, 5 wraps, a little over .5 ohms. Cotton bacon. Temp control. Perfect smooth draw, great flavor, comparable to a Kayfun in my opinion.
I feel like you just have to get this right. Some people get it pretty quick I imagine, some people just have to put it down a while and try again.
Thanks for the help everyone.
I have every Kayfun ever made, and although individual tastes are very subjective, I think the Doggy is superior to any and all Kayfuns. For me at least anyway.
Gave you a "WINNER", Mr. X, but I still really do love my little KFuns. I like the older style (without that silly wall) and dress them in the marvelous "diamond" bell caps. So so so good.
SJMY Doggy Discontinued?! I have 3 of these running- they are my all-time favorite tanks, but they're discontinued. What are folks buying instead? I like the open airflow of the SJMY.
You can get the center post/intake part, and convert sxk to sjmy draw.I did this on a few of mine a while back.
Ah ha! While doing a search at Fasttech I found they DO have an SJMY Doggy, SKU 6238000. Super-Duper!
Okay, great- but if you find you need them, here's what I used to convert SXK to SJMY draw. And if you've got a lot of SJMY's, wouldn't hurt to throw a 5 pack in your cart next time, just in case you ever need them.
