As for the parts...there are two kits, basic and full.

The basic is everything you need to get it running with a term, nautilus, or oddy. It comes with spares of everything that would need to be replaced.

The FULL kit is the basic kit PLUS an additional mouthpiece that can accept a standard 510 DT. The mouthpiece is just a short standard mouthpiece with a carto body over it. You have to provide a rubber sleeve off of another replaceable attomizer, like a t3 or the likes. Its the rubber piece that sits over the attomizer, and you cut the top off so you are left with just a rubber tube, or silicone, or whatever it is.

On top of these two kits you buy extra spare parts kits...orings, etc. Vochu said it really wasnt needed because you get all of that in each kit. Just so you know.

Its in the thread "Upgrade Nautilusa" on like page 2 and 3 that shows the parts. The explanation of the dt mouthpiece section is page 10. Better yet...here is the link on how to set up the dt mouthpiece..just copy this link, and paste it in a "Bing" search...not google. There will be a link on the search result to translate (yes I know, google will to), once opened, bing will continue to translate the rest of the pages you go to as long as you dont close the window....thats why I said Bing instead of google (google will only translate THAT page, when you click next it goes back to polish)

Hope this helps some of you! :thumbs:

Oh, that's why the post was deleted.. I thought it was for discussing the kit... Thanks for clearing that up. :) I managed to get one rule infraction a long time ago for a slip in a classies listing.. :?:

I think the kit is going to be fantastic, and hope it lives up to my expectations. Basically a full Kayfun 3.1 ES without the issue-prone filling valve.. ;)

Not only without the problematic filling hole....it also has one other advantage over the real kayfun....JUICE FLOW CONTROL! :D

With this kit you can completely close off the channels, just like we can with the Terms and any other oddy type device. :)

Juice control is still the number one reason I'll buy the kit rather than a real Kayfun if I decide to drop some cash.

Well, if I understand it.. You merely need to add a mouthpiece, top, and tank. So, parts are also available.. (I hate not having part-supplies/providers for 'things' - it's like buying a car which has parts no one provides).

not sure i follow you on this one....The parts you get replace the internals of the oddy type device....ceramic assembly and mouthpiece. You still use the rest of the tank body.

Yes, I expected that. And, yeah: the way the prices are fixed I suspect it would cost more. Otoh, I noted that some of the folks in the list were specifying the Tobeco clone. I suppose the Terminator 'Large' is the best destination for this.
The short Terminator is usually called "large" to identify is from the small dripper model. I believe the regular ,large, the short one is too short for the Oddy/Kayfun conversion kit

I got my term-c from Stormy's last week, set it up, worked great. I carried it around in my pocket for a few days and noticed a leak yesterday. I took it out and saw some juice beading at the seam between the clear and metal tank sections, I went to tighten it and found that the threads of the plastic section were broken off in the metal tank section. Is this a common issue, or did I get a defective plastic tank, or did my Honey Pearry crack the plastic?

The acrylic tank holds up to nothing peary or spiced.

The Rampage tanks are poly and hold up better, but Rampage's cust service reputation has recently gone south. Mine has had heavy citrus for weeks w/o probs.

Kir Fanis makes PMMA tanks. I have a couple but haven't stress tested them.

I recommend getting a 2nd steel tank first tho.

hehehe! Vapemail..

I cleaned it all up, dried, torched ceramic. Whipped out the new nickel & some 31awg ni80: kicked out about a 1ohm coil; over 2mm ekowoll with a 2mm XS-18 topper. I been vaping it - in clear, short-mode - for the last hour and it's lovely. It's coming to work tonight so I can see if anything leaks. Still getting used to the flow-valve. Using the same juice I mixed and use in my other atty, my first draws are very, very strong.. Like handrolled-cigarette strong. wowser.

I plan to get the jewlers-rouge out and work the threads/nuts when I recoil: they are very close/tight. Well made, however. I'll keep my Aga-T (original), but the rest of my atty's need to be drained, cleaned and prepped for PIF.

The question then becomes: Nautilus-upgrade, Kayfun-lite, or "The Russian" - and frankly, I appreciate at least Stormy selling replacement parts. Yep. I'm pretty well sold on bottom-coils.

Well, all of the choices you listed are great ones....though I dont know much about the Russian other than Todds review of it being identical to the Kayfun 3.1. If you like the Terminator line and the oddy type atty, I would say the best option is the Kayfun conversion kit because you get juice control. Other than that, I would have to say the Lite is the next best option because it doesnt have the fill valve that has had and can have major problems allowing leaking.

Yes, this was what I was thinking as well. And, so far as I am aware, only the Terminator (stormy's) sells parts - and I've had those horrible days with lost, misplaced and broken parts.. I appreciate parts.

And, yeah: the flow-control strikes me as perhaps the final selling-point. Perhaps china will read this and get more cloning ideas, (or perhaps poland has some more closet-manufacturers ;-)
