@Two_Bears and @Katdarling which kayfun base wall is it you dislike?

In the Kayfun Mini V3 abd Kayfun V5.

They put a _____ wall around tge build deck to keep tge cotton from being caught by the threads (i guess). Thus stupid wall makes it a guessing game of how long to cut the tails of the wick. Then you have to push the tails between this stupid wall and the build deck snd position the tails over the juice wells you can't see for tge cotton is in your way.

If the tails are too short or tge tails are not positioned correctly the darn Atty floods.

BIG step bsckward from the old tech of svoemesto. With old school i can cut tge length of tge tails very easily. It works the first time every time.

Bea - pretty much what 2 Bears said. The damm wall doesn't allow any visibility whatsoever, and so, I can't tell if my wicking is in the correct place. They're just a PITA for me. But, as I've said, I really like the tank!

2 Bears - I discovered a never-used KF 3.1 in my cabinet!!! It was a gift that I actually had forgotten about. Xmas come early. I'll have to give that baby a whirl one of these daze.

You're too cute, SweetieFalaya.


Whereas the old KFs, i.e. 3.1, and the whole 2 series, don't have it and are the proverbial "piece of cake." :)

CAKE????????????????????????????? Bring it, dude!!!



Aah, good to know, I've never ordered a "styled" item from them

Mr. Flakes to the punch did beat me. I like the idea of reading the reviews and discussions on FT. They may or may not change your mind, but you'll be armed with a bit more information to make your decisions. :)

You don't need to. Just get to a happy place with the tanks you've already got. You've had trouble with your KF 5 before, no? Then buying another KF-like atty seems... well... a bit masochistic. Learn to get along with what you've got first, and then expanding the horizon makes much more sense. Especially if the budget doesn't stretch into the great unknown ;)

Seems to me in general, you like to go the hard way. You insist on building vertical coils, why? Ask @Krisma how she modified her coils so she can build them horizontally. Give yourself a break, why don't you?


I'm sorry if I came across as judgmental. I don't mean to be. I just want to save people from purchasing a lot of stuff that might not work for them while they're not sure of what works for them. @ChelsB mentioned she spent $ 200 in one weekend on vape gear. I can't look in anybody's wallet, but that seems like a lot of money while she has a lot of gear already at home, some of which she's having some trouble with.
I used to buy all kinds of stuff and much of that never worked out for my way of vaping. Lots of money spent on stuff I'd use once or twice. Untill I learned how to make things work for me, I just kept buying things. So what I'm trying to do here is get people to make things work for them, and learn, so they will be able to find what works for them and not go all over the place buying things they'll never use.

Muru, both of your posts remind me of @tj99959 's tag line. Brilliant.

Personally I have done a mixture. I think if you are comfortable with using mechs, and knowledgeable about how to build for them, it makes sense to have some in your stash. On the other hand I generally like having regulated mods with me, so I have both in my stash.
I have both in my stash too as you well know. ;) And, you know I have more sense than money so if my hard earned money is going to buy something, I want it to be something that I can pick up 5 years from now and work. :)

But regulated mods, or those with electronics like the Picos, Hana Modz, Provaris etc have electronic boards in them that make them work, right? So what happens when those boards fail? Especially if buying all these types of mods for a stash. That's more of my concern than tanks. I have good tanks. Rebuildable tanks but they aren't going to do me a bit of good say a year from now if I don't have a mod that will fire them.

Since I do not use/like/ever want to touch a mech, we decided long ago (nearly 3 years ago) to stock up on Provis. That stash has become our "mechs". Will they fail? Perhaps, in time, but there IS a degree of safety in numbers and the quality of the product. I anticipate my Provis will outlive most all my other devices.

Backups. An heir and a spare, and a spare for the heir. ;)

That's a decision only you can make. How important is not smoking to you. I made my decision to stock up aggressively. If they bury me with 20 mechs and handfuls of regulated I won't care. What I will care about is not having a vape when I want it.

I don't have any mechs..... yet. I know Deb just LOVES her Reo. I have approximately(I need to count it all up), one Provi, 10 vamo's, 10 coolfires and 2 picos. Oh yea, and 6 spinners.

What's a THR tank?


Sent from my iPhone, please excuse any typos
That is another fumble fingers on tiny touch keyboard

I meant you need to kick THE tanks with premade coils to THE curb and go RDA or RTA Rebuildable attys.

What Chels needs to do is kick THR tanks with premade coils to THR curb snd go entirely RDA or RTA.

My coils last about 3 months, and Dry burn tge coil to burn the gunk off and re wick every time the flavor goes off.

I disagree, what she needs to do is figure out how to use what she already has to its full potential, and then with the existing gear figure out what it is she wants or what is lacking from her vaping experience & vape gear.
Before she ends up even more confused & frustrated with hundreds possibly thousands of dollars of someone else's favorite gear that she will never like or use.

Keep on pushing the 'my way of vaping is better than your way' crappolla.
You do not have to rebuild anything to get an excellent vape with zero leaking, hassle, fiddle or frustration.

I have 8 mods.
2 in rotation
3 in a drawer
3 others wrapped in rubber in an ammo can just in case of EMP.

Apparently you havent seen tge comments where she is frustrated trying to rebuild premade coils.

If she is up for rebuilding. I say kick those tanks to the curb abd use true Rebuildable attys.

I want vaping to work for her as it dud for me and lots of others.

I just don't want her to get frustrated and go back to the stinkies.

Getting va real Rebuildable will stop that frustration she is putting herself through now.

    I have several mechs, along with 4 unregulated but protected mods. We can always share if the time comes that you need them.
    Of course if you really want you can buy some of your own as well.
