The last time I ordered vape stuff was Oct. 10. I kinda want that Ares tank because I want to know if that lid really is the solution to the nightmare that is refilling a top fill tank, but now I'm concerned the draw won't be tight enough.
@lil_buddy, when you top fill a vacuum tank that does not have JFC do you do the following steps:
  • close AFC
  • open top and fill
  • put top back on and just catch the first thread or 2
  • flip tank upside down
  • open AFC
  • wait for liquid to drop
  • close top cap the rest of the way
  • wait 10 seconds and flip back right side up
Using this method I can top fill almost any vacuum tank without any issue whatsoever.

I've top filled Kayfuns this way. Works like a charm and so much easier than bottom fill through that tiny little passage.

Yeah except I also put a vape band over the AFC and then, after filling, I blow into the AF while firing until the gurgling/spitting stops - that's the nightmare to which I refer.

That does sound like a nightmare

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or you really think that the method you outlined is a simple, easy to execute solution? Screwing the cap on by a single thread and then flipping it over while continuing to screw the cap on? Can you do that in your car or at your table at the bar? I have never seen the liquid drop - I don't even know what that means - was it defying gravity at some point?

Don’t feel bad. Over half the time, I️ can’t tell if people are joking or being serious![emoji38]

No no, sorry. Not being sarcastic at all. Will find a vid that shows the technique and see if helps. Just trying to help out a fellow vaper

Here you go...skip to 1:45 on this vid... The principle is the same on all vacuum RTAs that don't have JFC.

It has everything to do with air pressure.

I had my KFV4 tank sit full of water overnight after I gave it a bath with no base on it.

Yeah, Toolman is usually on the helpful side.

Come to think about it, I’ve noticed A LOT less bickering/rudeness here as of late!
Not sure if that’s due to the major slowdown overall on ECF lately or something else

I see very little rudeness in the threads I frequent. Lot's of nice folks like you spread thruout here. :)

I️ admit I’ve followed threads in the past simply to watch the bickering (while being glad I️ wasn’t involved), just to see how it escalated! Although I’m sure it’s NOTHING compared to other ecig sites (which I️ totally avoid)
