Bellcap screws onto base perfectly... chimney screws onto base perfectly... chimney screws into bellcap perfectly... put them all together loosely and they all screw together nicely... tighten the chimney into the bellcap and you have an engineering faux pas of trying to get two separate sets of thread (3 actually) to align properly. you would need luck or some crazy engineer that specifically designed all three parts to have the threads indexed exactly the same and then hope the machine that cut the threads nailed it. Being that it is a very fine thread, not that much luck is actually required... I would bet 3 out of 5 might screw together with little to no binding.

I forced it and intentionally stripped the threads out of the bellcap to base junction... the chimney threads hold everything together just as well. Maybe the next one I put together will jive, but not these two. If I wanted to shim the chimney to bellcap, I'm sure I could get it to work nicely but, no need.
I'm verte sorryt you stripped the bell xaoy threads. I just hope it doesnt.

Not to worry! I have 4 more of these " 1 dollar and change" bellcaps to use. The o-ring and sealing surface are intact, so I don't expect any leakage. Once I get this one going, if I like it, I'll order more parts.
I LOVE IT, and several other people do too. After giving it a try.

I have a very good reason to expect tgee base is tge culprit.

I said that because he is using 3/4 of the pieces that i, @Katdarling , @oplholik , @misswish1, @Sugar_and_Spice , and others are using 100% of the same parts i use.

The ONLY difference is the black base he chose.

I used bright, Rainbow, gold, and blue bases i pjt together and sold on. Ebay.

All of the colors mentioned above worked perfectly.

I bought 5 blue bassses from FT. Sometines i hadvto jyggkw bases, barrels, and bell caps before i found a combination of pieces that worked together.

I had both experience and reason to suspect tge base different than i recommended.
This is the black base that I use
$4.12 Replacement Base for Kayfun Monster Mini V3 RTA Atomizers - stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

altho, I don't use the same bell caps as Two Bears. I wanted a larger ml so went a little bit different path.

But I love the ones I have put together. Flavor is the best yet.....

Wow, I'm going to guess that this might or might not be helpful, but for my KOMPACT KF, I used a base from an EHPRO clown KF. I actually didn't even pay much attention to what it was. Once I realized (thank you again, Oplholik) that the entire trick to this modding ordeal is screwing in the chimney to the bell cap, it was a veritable piece of cake.

Ah, perhaps...

After trimming the wick I put the chamber on, then do any rearranging with a toothpick. I then drip some unflavored (at my preferred nic and %) on the coil and wick (since, when I rebuild I'm not always sure what flavor will be next in that tank. If I've made that decision I use that mix), put on the chimney and put one drop of juice on the end of it, to lube the o-ring, then finish assembly. Can't say I've ever run into your problem.

And likely wrong, but you aren't taking the whole chamber off to do the repairs, are you? Just the chimney piece should be sufficient. Yeah, pulling the whole chamber will automatically rearrange the whole thing!

<wub> ya, Veep.



Nah - you're on target. I think it may be slightly lifting up, then I pull it UP when I take it apart. Just a guess...



I'm often referred to as a bull in a china shop (since I was knee-high to a grasshopper). Care to guess which path I usually take, based on that?

:blush:


OOOOOOOOOO! I GOT this one! Pick me, pick me! I know the answer!!!!!!! :D


He has been using them for a week and he thinks they are wonderful. Only in wattage mode and on high ohm boge cartos

They were bought as shed mods and replacements for the wismec presa's but they are too nice to use in the shed. LOL He is using 2 at a time and charging the third.

His criteria for a good mod.
Immediate button fire - Check
Clicky/nice button - Check
Must be stable standing up - rock solid
Battery lasts - check (he charges one a day)
10 sec fire - check
Even power delivery - check
Must be able to fire cartos (not all spring loaded devices can) - check
Must be a looker and fit in a pocket - check
Fast charge - brilliant but not necessary with 3 of them alternating

From my perspective. I got them at a reasonable price (sale) so I thought they were value for money. I think they are a bit expensive just at the mome, However he doesn't like a lot of mods so I would have paid full price. The true test is what is in his hand the most. Between the radius and these its about 50/50.

Tarot who? I need one, Madame?



OK, so far, being this is my first KFL-ish thing, I'm just fiddling with the pieces... holy tiny screws, Batman! You can really catch a 28ga wire under these things?

After trying on 2 different complete assemblies, I am definitely experiencing thread binding on the outer bellcap threads when I try to screw it down. With the chimney barrel screwed snugly into the bell cap, then screwing assembly onto base, the bottom of the chimney barrel starts threading to the base first and then as soon as the bell cap threads meet the base, it stops. If I screw the chimney barrel onto the base first (not desirable) and then screw on the bellcap, it goes together reasonably smoothly. I suppose I could just force it, being that even if the outer bellcap threads were to strip out, the chimney barrel would still be holding everything together tightly.

Thoughts?

Wow. I understood ummm,,, a little. :blush:



Oh, sure, because you know it's all about the base...

Wait... there could be a song there...

It's together and mechanically sound. I'm good.

Looks good.......one thing I have found when filling these is to go slow and allow some time for the juice to get into the chimney or else it may force a leak through the air flow.

I love the markings on the lamb. You said you keep these sheep and goats for the wool and milk right?

Remind me the name for that ancient breed of sheep please.

We have Jacob sheep for wool, Angora goats for mohair, and Alpine goats for milk (and Alpaca for wool and chickens for eggs and a Llama for spiritual guidance...er...as a guardian...)
