Wouldn't leve the house with one but I prefer dripper to taks by miles. The magma clone I got has flavor and vapor that a tank could never compete with. They are so easy to build I can change flavors in a minute. Basically the couch potato's dream.
-
I played with building a few of them for 2 months never got to the point where I was comfortable enough it would start burning cotton to leave the house with one.
IMHO they are poorly engineered.
All the benefits and none of the negatives can be found in the magma, its the Kayfan RDA done right.

If you are interested in nets but haven't tied I stumbled on a real winner.
Start with a 1/2 pint canning jar. Fill it with Capt.Black Dark looslely. Fill jar with PG. Heat in a water bath on hot plate or tiny crock pot to about 115f. Hold it there for 24 hrs. Then remove from heat and let sit for a week.
Then filter with a big metal turbey injector stuffed with cotton or rayon, Then put a piece of 5 micron felt in fron of the rayon. Now you have a good extract, make sure you label it.
Then use the online calculator to mix it how you want and how much nic,etc.
I have tried a lot of commercial nets and others diy and this just beats them all plus you know what you are getting.
I posted in the gen section because it is so simple anyone can do it and have some of the best net available.
There is a synergy between the captain Black Dark and vaping that I can't explain but the two were diffenatily made for one another. And if you run the numbers the ejuice is less than $5 perr 100 ml.

Ether vapes has a ejuice now called "blueberry". I am a light sub ohmin, generally two parallel coils 1.5/1.5= 0.75 ohms. This gives abot 20 watts on a mechanical which is usually just right.
I received a little bottle of blueberry from either vspes. This a could tell could handle more, so I put it on my Segelei -30. The juice ran very well at 30 watts. For mech guys that's about 0.5 ohms.
Guess its my first sub ohm friendly juice, most I've had can't handle more than 20 watts (which is why I think the new provari and SVD are sticking with20W.).

Where do you buy you plastic needle tip. I sort of need specifics?
-
I am looking for a specific website and part number for a bottle that works to constantly fill the KFL 3.1 from its fill port on the side.
-
I was able to pull the broke needle out, time to sell these kaylights I like RDA's much better.
-
Its the port where you fill. Show me the tool please.
thanks

I start with Capt. Blacks Dark (Cavendish). Heat in PG for a couple days at 110F-120F then let steep for at least a week. Then I filter thru mesh SS. Then a big turkey injection needle does the rest of the filtering with tightly packed rayon and 5 micron felt run thru 3x. Then I plug in the recipe calculator for 50/50 pg and nic of choice.
It tastes almost the same as a stronger RBFS Caven Fever. I mix at 20% extract.
This is probably better than any commercial Cavendish's I've found.
The other is a C&D Missippi Mud, same process but you only need 15% extract. The perique is without a doubt more authentic than any of the commercials, its just like a good pipe smoke. Highly recommend.
Pretty much have to use a dripper for full flavor experience. But there's decent 30W regulated tube modes now (Seven30/Segelei 30) that make it easy to vape at 0.75 ohms and 18-20W. Wicks last 1 to 2 days. And you can buy premade 1.5 ohm coils on ebay that last a month, so maintaining the RDA isn't much more time consuming than a clearomizer.

When I'm at home its all DIY Nets in RDA's. But I need something for work and aerotanks. I like fruity juices. I;ve tried dabbling with Capelllas grafruit and tangerine but it seems they take more than 20% for any flavor. I stumbled on EC blends's Dragons Bloood which tastes like cherry and crème which I surprising like.
Looking for suggestion for either a bulk commercial or DIY fruit ADV?
-
Is there anyway to salvage this?

I'm trying to nail down the major tobacco types as nets. II use a heat assisted into PG method with a hot plate that has produced fantastic redults.
So far I have:
Cavendish - Captain Black Dar - my favorite, just unbelieveable flavor
Perique - Cornell & Diehl Mississipi Mud pure strong tobacco, no hiding of the perique here
A wistminister Virginia mix (I don't like pure Virginia.)
I wanted to add a Turkish blend, but when I look at the descritions it seems English and Turkish blends have similar descriptions. Is there a big difference. I ordered Sutcliff Private stock Westminster, reading the description I guess its an English blend.
What's a good Turkish Blend?
-
VTR or Provari. The VTR operates at frequencies nearly as high as the Provari and the form factor is very portable. The provari I'm sure you've heard most of the positives but the superior way it regulates voltage IMHO gives a superior taste.
-
you can even buy extentions so it will accept 18500 or 18650 batteries, its basically the same device.
-
I don't sub ohm, a 1 ohm dripper is just fine for me. But I had a nemesis clone short on me, the battery inside got as hot as a skillet. If I hadn't been holding it, there would have been a blown battery for sure. I boxed up all my nemmy clones and am done with them.
-
He may have one of the new mods that don't really down regulate. The lowest they go is battery voltage squared divided by resistance.
-
After about 2 tanks with my KFL using Nets I pull the wick, steam clean the coil and replace the wick. I don't think you really dry burn these but run water over the empty coil and fire till red.
-
I noticed today that the drip tips on my ehpro KFL interchange with clearomizer drip tips. I wasn't aware of this. For clearomizer I like the short SS bullet drippers, What is the opinion on the best tips for the KFL?

There have been reports of great results with cotton pads made for makeup removal as use for wicks in the KFL. The name brand KDG (I think) is mostly always sold out. I bought a couple boxes off Amazon.
The first box was all japenese writing labeled . I had many failed attepts at building with these. When the second box came called "CS-being" I realized the first box were not at all good for our needs. The second box had pads that were cottony fluffly and separated in two. The first box were basically paper towels in comparison. So far knock on wood I have had no issues building with the "CS-Being" pads.
I figured all cotton pads would be the same and I was very wrong.
-
This is for people like me who can't figure out how to build a tank that doesn't burn wicks
-
This I find very true, mechanicals taste better and the reason is no PWM, just straight DC. Fortunately there are other alternatives. The provari has a very fast PWM that nearly mimicks DC. The Seigele 30W and The DNA30 Tribeca, and finally the VTR have near DC output.
The new SVD 2.0 is also supposed to use a DNA chip with good quality DC. As we progress more mods will go this direction and mechanicals less needed.

Just a standard ebay nemesis clone. The insulator looked suspect. I'm ordering a set of fat daddy insulators

I have 3 od of these smoke brand kick modules supposedly 5w-12w. There is no was it outs out 12 w. I've tried both ways but I assum counter clockwise= more power.
Can someon recommend a kick that really oputs out 12W for a nemesis?
-
I don't know if the swutch stuck ir the tio oin was diwn too far but my nemesis overheated, very hot. The nemesis is OK but the question is the battery probably tast? Or are the built to last this sort of torcher, E-fest 18500.

I built an rebuilt a tobeco Kayfun over 2 dozen times and never could get it to work.
Finally I ordered an Ephro, and it work first try.
So if you are having troube try and ephro
