The Russian Rebuildable

[dohr_e_dohr]

Hi all,

Quick first question, been using the Russian for a couple weeks now and everything seems to be working fine. Was curious when filling through the refill hole on the bottom of the tank do i still need to loosen the top cap, tilt and let the air pressure change or can i just fill and go.

Thanks everyone. Happy Monday

Fill and go , don't loosen the top cap or you could get juice down the chimney and flood , only time you need to take the top off is when filling from the top or rebuilding /rewicking .

What he said.

If you want to fill it through the top cap though, remove the top cap, fill to desired level, tighten top cap ever so slightly, hold it upside down until all of the juice flows to the top of the atty, then tighten the top cap all the way. This should only be a solution if you happen to be on the go with some juice and no screwdriver but it works like a charm!

I would be scared to try refilling from the top if I was on the go. If the chimney comes loose while removing the top, you've got a mess on your hands!

I really like it. I have a Russian 91% and have no trouble filling using the fill hole on the bottom. My bottles don't have needles, just regular drip tops, I just stick it on the hole and squeeze.

Ugh, I've been searching the web for days trying to get my hands on a russian or a kayfun lite plus...everyone is sold out! ugh!

Enjoy the Vapelife!

Russian one of my favorite rba, I've filled from the fill hole and top. Filling from top can become very messy. I'd recommend checking out the M tank for the russian or kayfun looks 100 time better

The russian clones are just as good as the original. Had mine for 3-4 months and enjoy it a lot.

I purchased some juice that was in a needle bottle, no when it gets empty I fill it up with a new juice and continue filling my tank. I like the mixed fruits, so this make some nice blends.

Finally found a Russian, out of a company in Florida! So excited!

unscrew the positive post adjustment all the way and you will notice it is seperate from the post that goes all the way to the block. unlike some other kayfuns and clones. (one cool thing about the russian) when you look inside there will be a regular screw driver spot, tighten that while making sure the block up top is straight. I wouldn't of known myself except when i bought mine i had to assemble everything. Also mine had machine oil resude on the inside that took forever to get rid of. (boiling, cleaning, soaking, dumping tanks, ect.) the russian is great and the fill hole is simple with the 91% but the full size russian on the other hand is a pain.

I usually just fill and go on my KFL+.

 

[nodpaige]

I have the full size Russian and u right I have to take the top cap off to fill it cause the needle bottle that it came with does not work well with me. When I tried it it just came back out the fill hole.

I've had the Russian for a few weeks and overall I am happy. Very easy to build (make sure to tuck the wicks down the side of the block in the middle to avoid dry hits) and produces amazing vapor and flavor. I am running into one issue and am wondering if anyone has a solid solution. I cannot get it to work on any of my mods other than my SVD which has a spring-loaded connection pin. (Other mods include: Sigelei Zmax v3, Evic, Vamo v5, and now my newly purchased Nemesis which has a great adjusting mechanism!) Most other tanks have an adjustable pin you can screw out until you make a solid contact but if you loosen it in the Russion or Kayfun it loosens the block on the inside where you're coil is built which tends to create a short requiring you to dissassemble it and start over. Is anyone else having this problem? What solutions have you found?

 

[Sugaree]

Thanks for this thread. So helpful. I have a KFL+ and just bought my fiance a Russian. I watched a guy burn one up right out of the box...spooky!

The pin has an extra threaded section , you can take it out of the block an losses the bottom threads for the pin an adjust it that way really easy

Hello all I am new here. I have a question about the russian. I am having a problem with the resistance registering on my ohm meter and on my provari. I tired loosening the bottom pin thinking it wasn't making contact. when I loosened the pin the piece that it is connected to with the air hole(positve post?) moves and makes it impossible to work with. Can anyone help?

The adjustable bottom pin screws into another screw that attaches to the block up on the build deck. It sounds like your bottom pin is too tight and when you try to adjust it, you're just turning both screws and loosening the whole block. I know I'm not describing it well, but basically it's a screw that screws into another screw, which screws into the thing up on the deck! Might have to remove it and get those two screw separated, then you can adjust it properly. Did that make any sense whatsoever?
