I found this site it might help you learn about your watch :unsure: :)

[ELGIN] The Elgin Watch Collectors Site


Oh my word you guys!!! It gets better!! I just unscrewed the back of the watch and this is what I found....

This was given to my father from his father, so amazing!! Antonio DiPietro immigrated to the United States from Italy when my dad was 2 years old!! My daughter just did a research paper on him for a class last semester.

How you liking them KAS?

Very nice, they have a different feel to them texture wise, than the stainless does, I like the top cap more then I thought I would. I will need to use them for a bit longer, to see the extra battery life, some have reported. I need to get some new toppers for them though. I am starting to lean toward the Kayfun 4, sense I can get the P3 adapter. I wanted to get a Erlk, even though it doesn't have the adapter, but recent reports show that the Erlk will leak if you don't have it wicked just right, and when it leaks, it is all over your top cap, and connector. I never had any of those type of problems with my kayfuns.

They can be kind of simple to wick though Kas....what with the wick guides and all.

I really like my KF4 and since my P3 is giving me so many problems I been using it on my Ti. The only time I even came close to flooding it is when I over fill it.
When I do that and put the top on, well it's like pushing a cork in a bottle that is filled to the top :?: the juice has to go somewhere :laugh:

Yeah, I am still not sure, I still want both, I just can't do both at the same time, I know the kayfuns very well, so it would be less of a learning curve.

KAS

Yeah, I see that too. I think I would feel the same.

I do hope you get one though at some point because I sort of felt that maybe there was some hype around them until I vaped one. I actually didn't like the look of them much at first but the flavor outshines any consideration I have about their beauty..LOL

Well the other thing about the Erlk that interested me is the weight, it is very light compared to the kayfuns, and with the TI's being so light, it just seems like it would be perfect.

What is wrong with your P3 Fringey one? Did it have to travel to the mothership?

It is very light for sure. I am going to pick up a new Kayfun at some point....as I said I am stalking a Goblin at the moment.

They are still mechanical,,,but he is coming out with a new line of them with low-profile attachments and improved 510 connections and they are pretty!

I don't think think can be called a "true" mechanical because of the connection wires. When I think of a mechanical the pin touches the battery to fire, there is nothing in between.

OK I haz confused then. My Reo Grand pin touches the battery with nothing in between...Is the new Woodville doing that differently?

Oh, I may be wrong. I haven't looked closely at the new Woodvils. My Woodvils, like the Phidiases, have a wired connection. It's possible Rob is making mechanical Woodvils this time.

Reo - the button pushes the pin to touch the battery:

Woodvil (what I have) - the button is connected to the firing pin by wires:

I keep getting error messages, most of them about the coil is too low when it's not :glare:

Four different tanks, 2 Lemo, KF4, and a Subtank all with coils at or over 1.1 ohms.
The Highest I can go is 15 watts on a 1.1 with out getting error messages :(
3 Coils I made and 1 Clearo coil. Even my Satin 2.5 and my Ti can run all 4 without any problems at all :confused:
And I keep getting burnt tasting hits from all 4 tanks but it only happens when they on my P3. It's like the P3 is given them a power surge or something :unsure:
But it never happens on any other mod I put them on. :?:

Ah yeah, I see. He has a new fully mechanical prototype working. That is the one I am drooling over.

I don't know about the error code, but if it tastes burnt, is the boost on?

ETA: I think I was confused. Never mind.
