As far as I know, there has been no issues with any versions of the original kayfuns, I was going to buy 2 of the v2's when I found the 91%, my 91% is working fine, but I am going to look into getting replacement pins anyway, and just buy 1 of the KFL+ instead of another 91%.

I'm considering a Stardust.

For anyone that uses clearos. I got this from The Digital Cig a couple days ago.


American made Protank Killer

Protank Killer???????????
That is rite a tank named "Protank Killer" and guess what. It is made rite here in the USA. A fine group of people over in San Clamente California has designed their own version of the Protank. Every part including the coils are made in America. Magnavape maker of this tank is the first American company to manufacture a clearomizer on US soil, which is great and hopefully the start of many more stepping up to take on this industry.
These should be available any day now and include the coil and tank. You will need to use your own drip tip or purchase one separately. These tanks are a true 4.5ml system and they offer a single coil running at 2.4ohm's. The nice thing about the design is that it will also accept Protank 2 coils from Kangertech. The company is just getting in to mass production of these but from what we hear coils should be no issue getting a hold of within 20 days.

ETA - It would be nice to have a good quality American made clearo to use with my good quality American made mod.

I won some juice on Mod Envy but nothing big. I'm usually in the garage when it's on. Wish it was on later but then everyone on the east coast would have to watch drunk.

Just login and tell me your name. I'll let you know if you won something, although you may have to fast forward through the rebroadcast because I might forget what it was. I have won a bottle of juice and a Vapor Skinz, but that was almost a year ago.

I thought the PT2 takes the same coils as the PT/EVOD and the PT3 takes different (dual?) coils. I'm beginning to hate the world of vape gear.

The coils for these clearos definately look different than PT/Evod coils; hopefully better. From what I can tell, Magnavape is selling these to a few B&Ms in California but haven't gone national yet.

I'm reluctant to shell out for yet another version of the Fogger when I so truly, truly hated the v2 and v3. I consider the Fogger to be (by far) the worst piece of vape gear I've ever purchased. Never, not once, did I ever get a good vape from it, no matter what builds I tried, and I tried a LOT. That Aerotank Mega looks worth a try, though.

I'm not sure if I confirmed my Mod Envy theory or not. Tonight they were able to pronounce all the names of the winners and none of the names were rude. I'm going to use the same name next week, unless I can convince myself not to watch it a again. It's like a bad accident, but you can't look away.

Lol! I read that as "I reluctantly shelled out..." and I'm thinking Why? Huh? What?

The winners are picked by a random generator, but still...the rude ones seem to win more often, as well as ones the hosts can't pronounce (that the average English speaking person could).

I don't often get home in time for Mod Envy, and when I do it's usually the last hour or so. Do they do more substantive stuff early in the show, or is the whole thing pretty much the giveaways these days?

Very helpful info. They went on for about 10 minutes about ...... in the shower...

Just when I thought it was safe....Artemus (the eBay guy) has the "Black Edition" Kayfun back in stock - but it's a V2! Was it a V2 before? With a floating 510 connection like the Russian V2, that everyone posting says is crap? I'm not sure they mean crap because of the pin issue or crap as in total. {{cries}}

In other news: as an experiment I changed my name for Mod Envy. It's one I used before when Justin was the chat provider, but Vaughn doesn't allow as many characters, so I had to smoosh it together, guaranteeing they won't be able to pronounce it. Based on prior shows that may increase my chances of winning something. My chances would probably be even higher if I chose a rude name, but I refuse to.

This version has the adjustable contact like the original Russian, not the spring loaded that folks are having issues with.

The package has shipped, even though I told them to hold it until they got the contact issue figured out. If I have the tiniest problem with this thing I am going Ocelot on their azz! I can scare a Honey Badger.

I didn't get a Kayfun, I got a Russion 91%. The Russian 91% v2 by Kebo - Eciggity



Uh, oh. What happened to your Russian?

What problems are you having with your 91%?

KAS

Thank you for posting this! I'm going to contact the vendor I bought mine from immediately to ask about this issue.

Went back to look at the "not here yet" black Russian, and they changed the description - lined out the floating 510 pin and added a note saying "the first batch of black Russians will have the V1 style 2-peice center pin."
This convinced me that the vendor knows what they're doing, are probably trustworthy, and so I've pre-ordered a black russian!

Woo-hoo!


Edit - wow, they also answered an email I sent about it. Within like 10 minutes, at night.
Same thing - their black will have a v1 pin, and they mentioned the same thing "anyone having trouble with their V2 pin should contact the vendor for a replacement free from Kebo".

I just sent an email to the vendor I ordered from and included a copy of the statement on the Kebotech facebook page. I asked them if they had a plan in place if their inventory turns out to have a problem.

When I was on the Vaportek site there was a note that they wouldn't have any Russians until Kebo figured out the pin issues, but I was looking at Kayfuns and didn't pay attention.

Ok. From my reading and understanding of same. Kebo is going to make available the V1 center pins to V2 buyers. The buyer has to contact vendor. Kebo is working on problem and new shipments will be with V1 center pin. Various vendors are saying they have V2 or V3. There is no official Kebo V3 so there is confusion out there right now.

I got my R91 in a coop so no vendor to contact for replacement V1 center pin. Not sure how that is going to be handled by the coop host. I washed my R91 out today and I am taking it with me to my monthly vape meet tomorrow where there are a few people that do builds all the time. I am hoping that one of these gentlemen will take pity on an old lady and help me figure out how to get my center pin out and then tighten down the positive block tight enough that it does not move. Or maybe one of them will have a V1 center pin. I am thinking I may have to buy a Fasttech clone to get a V1 center pin. That would be an expensive fix.

My first big girl RBA and this happens. And I research and overthink everything until I think it is foolproof. Not for this fool. I know I will figure out some kind of fix. When I got in on the coop there was only V1 so we did not know we were being shipped V2.

That is a question I have. How do I know what is the positive pin/block/post on my Russian or any other RBA like my Igo-L. I keep reading about the positive pin or post but do not know how to tell which one it is and do not remember reading how to tell.

I bet you could contact Kebo directly and ask what to do. You could say you got it as a gift and don't know who the vendor was.

Good idea. With the firestorm over this I do not know if I will get a response, but I bet that some vendors will start carrying V1 center pins at some point. Will Google Kebo tomorrow if I can not get it working right at the vape meet. I could also put a Wanted ad in the classified if I have to.

Try the Kebotech facebook page. They actually responded to someone's question.
