I snagged a black and blue off the classies but would have loved black and green. I think that combo is cool!

Thank you for reminding me what nice "features" Angelina Jolie has.

I am fairly confident that my kayfun was sent here to test me as a person. One could argue that it is user error on my part but I took pictures of mine to show and when I look at other's build pictures, mine looks pretty much the same. She works wonderfully and then.......she decides to suck.

Also, I think I may buy an MVP. I have thought about a Provari mini but I am having trouble pulling the trigger due to color choices. Two polished silver Provaris would likely bother me down the road for not having some variety but nothing else is tickling my fancy. Can't justify a classie purchase for full price and no warranty.

My iTaste 3.0 is honestly useless because when I use it compared to the Provari, it is pointless. I figure an MVP buy won't hurt anything, including my wallet.........but will it work better than the iTaste?

AWE Don't worry you passed.

i have a question.
I'm getting low vapor on my kayfun build. do you think it could be cotton related?

either that, or it's airflow related. I should have mentioned this earlier, but it slipped my mind. When you were playing with the 510 adjustment screw and loosened your deck and then took it all apart to fix it, you should have stuck a pin or needle down the exterior airflow channel to make sure that the hollow 510 connection's air hole was lined up with the airflow channel. It's hard to explain.

Whenever I experience low vapor from an RBA, I first immediately check my AO screen. Most often, I am getting a loose leg, and my ohms are significantly higher. Like PoM has hypothesized, it could have something to do with that connection. I suspect a coil/electrical/power issue first and foremost!

If wicking is an issue, you will generally get a BAD taste, not (or in addition to) low vapor.

If airflow is an issue, you generally feel a tighter draw, or some indication on airflow that tells you something is off.

The only 2 mods I really want are that dark purple metallic ProVari and a MicroStick (on the email notification list). Then I am done.....until something else shiny gets my attention. Meanwhile, my green one should ship today and I am concentrating on toppers (which I really don't need any more of either).

Airflow issues on a KFL type normally would fall in one of 3 reasons. 1. Airflow control too tight. 2. Debris in air path or 3. Juice in air path. (Guess that could be debris as well!). I understand what POM is saying about aligning the air hole in side of KFL with the pin, however, unless that pin and airhole were drilled at same time with the current bushings in place and deck block tight, the chances of having it line up perfectly are slim to none, unless you like a loose top deck or you are able to shim under the pin/block (see my earlier post about wanting fishpaper/fiber washers made). I don't think the alignment makes a noticible difference in draw, but bad alignment can cause whistling.

I have the KF 3.1 and if I try adjusting the 510 pin, the top of my battery gets soaked........randomly.

It is a collection well for leaking but I have found the ring to be a bigger pain. There is a tiny rubber washer on the north side of the screw that doesn't seat tightly when you screw it into the base. Huge PITA

i'm good guys, this build was a success at 1.5ohms!

i think when i loosened that center pin slightly in caused my deck to be loose, which inturn moved my coil.

this time i used cotton yarn. and i think the flavor is better.

i think the tighter you have your air draw, the harder you have to inhale
and the looser it is, the easier you need to be on inhale.

I'm wondering how ocey is doing :)

Looky here. Look what come out. Hope you guys didn't commit to fast if you like what you see.

I have seen that before. but I just bought another Sophia, so that has got to wait. I was thinking the gold one would look good with the brass stuff I plan to use on my green ProVari.

It happened last night. I was sitting on a very low lawn chair and my white full size fell onto the concrete. The button started acting all squirrely and it wasn't firing. Then it was firing, then it stopped firing. Took off the topper and shook it and the button was flashing. Something was definitely lose.
I took it to the shop today and they tried to pull the spring up to tighten the battery up but that didn't work. They are going to send it to the hospital and they said it could take 2 weeks. Ugh! Still have my satin silver mini but the timing is crazy 'cuz I ordered a silver polished mini about an hour before I dropped the white one. Was that a sign???
