Yes, all 4 of mine do (SJMY)... but I prefer glass for juice-amount viewing.

Hmm... I bet any competent machinist can make similar V5-style metal-sleeves, but for the KF 2019/2021. Would be a great upgrade or backup.

Where did ya get the SMJY V5s?

Maybe there is less to worry about than you realize?
I keep mentionig India that outlawed all vaping.
But........

India's e-cigarettes ban hasn't stopped vaping⁠ — it only drove out Juul and Vape

  • Eight months since, despite the ban, people are able to buy e-cigarettes from any paan shop. If not, they can always go on the internet and buy them.
  • However, since formal players like Juul or Vape are kicked out of the country, what these young vapers find are products imported from other countries like China — making it cheaper.
  • Such products don’t have quality standards.

They go on to say black markets in India are flourishing and the very politicians baning the vape are profiting off it - So why should American politicians be any different?

Unlike India...
  • The US it setting it up so the only vaping products left will be JUUL and other gas station ecigs.
  • Americans will still be able to buy from B&M shops that sell vaping products and of course from gas stations.
  • Americans will not be able to buy online from American vape shops and only internationally at their own risk.
I don't see anywhere in this article that says black markets in India are flourishing and the very politicians baning the vape are profiting off it.
Our politicians on the other hand profit greatly from the cigarette market, think tobacco bonds, vaping disrupted that money flow. They could not find an equivalent way to profit from vaping hence the non-ban-ban.
How would a vaping black market ever be profitable for our politicians? If anything it would continue to cut into their cigarette profits when those participating vapers don't return to smoking.

I wash mine, but not boil.

Agree. I just water clean Kayfun Lite V2's if needed when I recoil. Occasionally if needed, I'll take them apart and soak them in water with enough dish detergent to clean off residue, rinse and air dry them on a paper towel, after washing off the detergent.

I just checked my order of 8 Tobecco Kayfun Lite V2/s and I have an arrival date of 3/26 coming from ECBlend. Can't have too many rebuildable atty's, especially when they are on sale for $2.95.

I got mine in yesterday from ECBlend and already have one in service. The threads are a little crunchy but are overall nicely made and durable. Very glad to have these in my stash.

So MVS is telling it's customer base that the USPS ban goes into effect March 27 or earlier. Can anyone verify this?

The image below shows it was updated 18 days ago but sent today. They also stated they'll stop shipping through USPS on on March 24 and start using their "new courier".

USPS : stops shipping 4/28/2021
USPS : starts requiring signatures for receiving vape products 3/28/2021.

So, many companies are stoping shipping on March 28th, maybe because it will cost them extra to send "Sign on delivery" mail. Maybe there too lazy to change their free shipping & shipping rates for their websites.

I have come across a couple of sites that require sign on delivery shipping fee of around $12 for my state. I didn't order from them because of that fee. Other places don't charge it, even though technically my state requires it. I wonder if this will affect sites that already have this in place for some states.

What's the source for those dates?

UPS :: Adult Signature Required Fee: $5.50
FEDEX :: $4.50 per package (Adult Signature Required)
USPS :: $3.20 at a Post Office .. $2.70 paid online

Requires acceptable form of ID ..

Really, though, the most onerous list of requirements is far greater than a signature ..

  • Verify age of customers using a commercially available database
  • Use private shipping services that collect an adult signature at the point of delivery
  • Register with the ATF and the U.S. Attorney General
  • Register with state and local tax administrators in all states and localities where business is done
  • Collect and pay all applicable local and state taxes, and affix any required tax stamps to the products sold
  • Each month, a list of all transactions must be sent to each state’s tax administrator that includes the names and addresses of each customer sold to, the quantities and type of each product sold, and the name, address, and phone number of the person delivering the shipment to the recipient

Sounds like they are trying to keep track of all vape users as if they were some type of danger to the public - Time to 'lawyer-up' and do something about it. They already decided there are no 'smokers rights', and have extended this to vapers - But when these drunken psychopathical politicians start to declare you a threat, a second class citizen - Now the issue goes way beyond vaping - Time to expose these neo-nazis, and show that this issue goes far beyond vaping.
