Warning Kayfun 3.1 clone has sharp threads use caution!!!!!!!!!!!!

These kayfun tank sections can be quite hard to unscrew. What makes them so hard to unscrew is the orings are gripping to each item they are in contact with. You can put the Kayfun in a freezer for maybe ten minutes and the oring will become hard and not stick to the parts as strong. This will really help if two parts have been screwed together with too much force.
To prove that the orings are the problem, try screwing two of the tank sections together without the oring and see how easy they unscrew.
What works really good and I always use is two strips I cut from a rubber disc used for opening jar lids.
Just use one strip under your fingers on each piece you are trying to unscrew.
You can buy the rubber discs from Bed, Bath and Beyond for a couple of dollars. They also work good for removing a stuck drip tip.
With these rubber strips the freezer method is not needed unless the sections have been assembled with way too much force.

know what i have 2 rubber bungey straps in my closet that i could cut one of those and use. i got them when i wrecked my truck in the ditch this past december it was december 13th 2013 and it bent the frame so bad the door wouldn't shut so the tow guys had to bungey the driver door shut. lol i fixed the truck some money spent at a frame shop and 4 weeks later and i was driving it again that chevy s10 is a trooper. she is almost at 300k miles.

have to include pics

lol it was quite a ride
but i was driving down a real slick road to a doc appointment pre surgery and i was doing around 35mph in 4th gear well i could still feel the wheels slipping so i thought i need to slow down even more so i went and shifted to 3rd gear and when i let off the clutch there was enough rpm to break the rear end loose and then it went completely sideways then i turned the wheel and it did a 360 around the cab and flew into the ditch .

It was also sensationalism and not conducive to what ECF is here for. Let's keep that in mind for future postings, shall we?

i did not know what sensationalism then i looked it up so i learned something new. and then was like wow the media and reality tv show commericals do that crap all the time make it sound so dramatic and it is like nothing. but i won't do it again i meant no harm by it for real.
come to think of it i don't even remember what my original title was .

A lot of hcigar ' s clones have very sharp edges not just threads. I've got an hcigar nem clone that's bit me a few times. I ended up wrapping a metal bar in duck tape and chucking it in a drill, then slid the body parts onto the duck tape and spun it while running 800 grit sand paper over the sharp edges to round them out.

Also i just ordered some syringes and taper tips so i can fill my kayfun when i am at school during the day. my blunt tip needle cap don't work very well at all. and i don't want to damage the valve so my kayfun is sitting on my desk till tomorrow when i get those things in the mail. They shipped via ups i was so happy ups is very quick if it were usps then i wouldn't get the damn thing for another week at least.

Im late to the thread but I found it while searching. My KFL+ cut my finger while trying very hard to unscrew the tank from the base. Thanks for the freezer tip, and I was using a gripper pad, but only on one hand. I'll have to cut it in two so i can use it with both hands.
