Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[RainSong]

I learned from the clear protank orings to wash my attys in a large SS bowl then rinse in another bowl using a fine mesh colander then pour the wash water through the colander. Finding a rouge oring in the colander is nice, now its the merlin topcap oring that I forget to remove that they don't supply extra in the goodie bag and loosing that bitty oring would just about render the merlin useless.

I wash everything in a mesh strainer now because of wayward o-rings. Makes it easy to just throw everything in the sink and keep it all together.

Yeah, that one is kind of a pain, I've almost lost it several times.

I believe these are the Merlin o ring sizes.

I wish FT had an app, it would make shopping on a phone SO much easier!

I like plastic tanks. I'm a klutz and was always breaking the glass ones.

I LOVE the little 25 mm tall acrylic bellcaps for the Kayfun

Not for me....Renovated the kitchen several years back, new cupboards that go to the ceiling not having that wasted dirty 1 foot space between the cupboard and ceiling from the 70's, tiled the floor, granite counter tops and a black granite composite sink. Orings do disappear into the blackness of the sink and I would never see them go down. Stainless sink at least you have a chance to spot a oring in the water.

I believe these are the Merlin o ring sizes.
Copied and note padded....Thanks

That's another downfall of the kayfun is that you pretty well have to use the plastic tanks or the metal one that comes in the kit. I bought a couple of the quartz tank setups from FT. They look nice in the picture, sound great if your concerned about cracker juices but.....your putting a lot of faith into the 2 orings that hold the glass sleeve together and the top cap oring so pocket, purse or picking it up by the driptip your in for a mess. If the kayfun chimney screwed into the top like the TFV's or Merlin then the quartz tank would be dandy. For those who don't already know...don't waste the money on a quartz tank for a kayfun.

Agree 100%. Those stupid O rings is why i cannot recommend the Kayfun Mini. It is held together by three O rings.

Circled in back are full steel stank.

Underlined in red are the pieces to make the other full steel.

The other 5 are plastic and will be replaced with either glass or steel.

I think I have it now... you don't use any of the plastic tanks shown in the pic, you make your KFLs all steel prior to use?

Here is my stash of KFL goodies:

WOW vaping must be a PITA for you guys. I don't have any of that stuff!
I have a little stack of unopened tins, each with an A7 mini in it & a roll of wire & some silica string.
A bunch of bricks of cartos & a tool to punch them with, and J-tanks to use them in. That's it!!!!

No need for bags & bags of spare parts to sort through, or gig saw puzzles to try to get back together.
I'd much rather spend my evenings chasin' the wife around

Vaping must be very boring for you

Seriously, I enjoy the hobby side of vaping but without a doubt the KFL collection is my largest. Wanted to make sure I had plenty of goodies when they stop manufacturing.

My collection honestly is pretty simple really and covers my favorite MTL tanks. I've done the same with each of the classics that I love but the KFL is the largest (Spheroid, Gem, Squape R(s), SXK Doggy, Gus Zest/Phen, Erl nano and Billet Box all have 1 or 2 boxes of goodies and then a few odds and ends). I have stopped buying RTAs at this point unless I want to try something new/high end just for fun (and it is fun to me ).

Also have my DIY for juice and nic fully loaded.

Still manage to squeeze that in LOL.

Hopefully a different wife.
If not, the vape stockpile will be the least of your differences.
That would be one very tired wife, being chased all over Utah and Texas and all points between.

It is. Smoking was so much easier.

Seeing as I never want to smoke again I better get enough gear to last me the rest of the century and them some.

Open blister pack. Remove bottom off tank. remove used coil. insert new coil. reassemble tank. orientate tank so coil is at bottom. put used coil in bin. wash hands. vape.

Well, there are a couple of leads I'm following, but I'm happy to report I fought the unemployment decision and won, so that's helping immensely!
Thanks for asking, sweetheart![emoji4]
