Bea, I would go w the ehpro 101 that @Shawn Hoefer linked. It's newer and has more modern features and cheap as chips :)
Whenever I'm thinking of ordering from an online company the first thing I do is check their "about us" or "contact us" section to see where they are. I have heard of Efun but never ordered from Them so I did that. Look at what they say :rolleyes:

It's kinda odd that it is nowhere in the USA.. been looking around for it. Is it just being released?? It's in the U.K. but it's almost 2x the price.

Since the UK has embraced the fact that vaping is a much safer alternative to smoking, while the US takes the regressive, money driven agenda of banishment, we'll see more and more products and marketing focused on the markets that will still be here after 8/18.

Did you call/write/email your reps yet? Since the new administration, regardless of how you feel about them, it's worth the renewed effort.

I promise I'll only mention that a few hundred more times....

5 VV4's in the electronics carry on.
6 RGM2 split up between carryon and cases.
6 bottles of juice split up between carryon and cases.
2 Packs of coils in the cases.
1 surge protector charger.
1 power convertor.
List of vape shops near where I will be.

Make sure the charger fits the convertor before you get to London or you end up roaming Oxford St. looking for a usb charger at less than 1 amp.

You left out the USB battery pack for when there's no USB plugin!

Didn't even get myself a anniversary present, not that I need one with the amount of vape gear I already have :lol:

Congratz on the 4 years Nailz!!!

The EHPro 101 came out over a year ago, but seems pretty hard to find here. I wonder if the market shift to high wattage and box shapes kept many vendors from picking them up when they were closing out many tube mods. Being a rough clone of a Dicodes probably didn't help much, at least in the US, as Dicodes mods aren't common and don't have a big following here. The lack of top cap air channels and unknown quality of the step down power keep me from getting one.

It will be interesting to see what people think of the 101 when they arrive!

Gottlieb, Trump's pick for FDA chief is strong on Vaping and other alternative products and allowing them to replace smoking with safer products that allow smokers to quit, while still enjoying the replacement products. That makes perfect sense. Who wants to chew nicotine gum when they can replicate smoking in a safer manner and still get the nic they need?

Trump's bill would allow all products on the market by the effective date of the Deeming Regulations to remain active for sale without going through the FDA approval process. Only those introduced after that would require approval. The initial date was in 2007, effectively outlawing anything sold after that date and requiring the costly FDA approval process to decide whether they could be sold after the Deeming date. The new plan grandfathers everything that was already on the market in August 2016 the way I understand it. That leaves a LOT of hardware, accessories, and juice on the market for good.

How Trump's FDA pick could make it easier for Americans to quit smoking

There is a bill in the House that would serve as a stopgap measure preventing the near total destruction the vapor business. The Deeming Authority Clarification Act of 2017 would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act to change the predicate date from Feb. 15, 2007, to when the deeming regulations came into effect.

But preventing the de facto prohibition of e-cigarettes should be but the first step in what needs to be a fundamental re-think of federal tobacco policy.

<snip>

Rather than hectoring smokers, policy makers should allow those who want to quit smoking to choose from new and better options that suit them so they can actually enjoy quitting while massively reducing their risk of death and disease.

There are reasons to be optimistic that Gottlieb recognizes the value of harm reduction, while not being tied to any particular ideological dogma. In an article for Forbes in 2013, Gottlieb pointed to the potential benefits of reduced risk products.

"If the industry was earnest about transitioning away from the manufacture of smoked cigarettes, and getting into the development of new products that would still satisfy peoples’ taste for nicotine (with hopefully much lower risks) there could be public health virtue," wrote Gottlieb.

Is this this the piece you are having problems with. If it is I believe you do not use the cone shaped top piece. Someone should be able to confirm this as mine haven't shipped yet.

All is usable :)

On this chimney:
$2.26 Free Shipping Replacement Five Pawns Styled Chimney for Kayfun RTA (Chimney & Base, Five Pawns Logo, Silver) at m.FastTech.com

Remove the top cone part so that you just have the barrel:

Attach that barrel to the following slam/bell cap tightly as described by @Two_Bears
$1.69 Free Shipping Replacement Acrylic Bell Cap for Kayfun Mini RTA Atomizer (Kayfun Mini Bell Cap, Acrylic, Translucent) at m.FastTech.com

Then use this base to complete (after coiling and wicking of course):
$4.00 Free Shipping Replacement Base for 22mm Kayfun Lite Plus V2 & Kayfun Lite Five Pawns (Base (Kayfun Lite Plus V2), Silver) at m.FastTech.com

Should be able to fill the cap with the barrel in it with juice and then screw the base on gently.

To get the threads going I turn mine counter clockwise until I feel the threads "click". You should be good to go and screw clockwise to tighten at that point. If doesn't feel right back off and try again. There are 2 sets of threads to get going so it can be a bit tricky.

Hit back if that doesn't make sense or I've confused more :)

Only in looks, the chipset is not even close.
Well, ya :) goes without saying. There are a few more knockoffs like this, dicodes had 0 precense within the US until a few months ago when they authorized their 1st and only US dealer- dicodes-usa.com but they're basically the EU version of ProVari and pretty popular there. The US market seems mostly flatlined for regulated tube mods in the past few years, but that's definitely not the case worldwide.

For what it's worth, I've ordered from: slowtech, efun.top, gearbest, heaven's gifts in the past 6 months, and had 0 problems with any of 'em. Everything I've ordered has always -- eventually -- arrived, and it all just worked.

between here and there
The chimney doesn't fit any of the tanks...:) I think I ordered something wrong.
I think the reason he had you order this particular sku # is because all of the sku's that were only of the barrel were oos and this one was available. Not sure if that still applies but was true when you were ordering. Also with the barrel screwing right on the tank, you can still rewick and recoil without losing any juice since you can sit the tank upside down on counter(or whatever) after unscrewing the base and the deck comes out with the base. Hope that makes sense.

Also when looking at parts to match up for use, see if in the description if the thread size is listed.

This is the thread size of the barrel
THREAD SIZE M12x0.5 mm

And then look at the base description to see if the threads match.

:)

Or maybe not with my big mouth LOL!
I can relate! :D

BTW, for anybody into DIY and building things -- add case, switch, 510 connector, battery holder -- you can buy a real dicodes board that'll go to 60watts on a single cell for around $70 USD (if you login and register as being from US, it'll drop the price considerably and remove VAT which is currently bundled into the list price on the website):

Dicodes BF60 board
Dicodes FL80 board
