Okay, here's a question. BTW, it's a Kayfun 3.1 clone by SvoeModesto. I don't THINK my husband told me where to fill it to - because it's supposed to have a capacity of about 4 mls, and I darn near emptied the thing, or at least dropped the juice level to nearly below the bottom of the clear part of the tank, in ABOUT two hours, and I don't even go through a ProTank in two hours - maybe half a ProTank.

As far as tank threading, ego threading is standard for smaller type tanks - like Evods and the same capacity thereabouts - otherwise, the standard is a 510 connector for larger tanks - your protanks, well, just about anything larger than an evod sized tank. I don't even use my evod tanks or my mini protanks anymore (all with ego connections), and SOME APVs don't come with an ego fitting, you have to get an 510 to ego adapter for ego threaded tanks to work with them.

I get juice from three different places. I used to vape one of the vaportalk flavors, but don't anymore, and it's a good thing, too, because that was my main vape and I was going through a ton a month. (Sorry, Chris) I get one flavor from Juicemafia.com, VERY reasonably priced, top bottle size is 50 ml, cheap samples, and usually a special on two 50 ml bottles. That's my main vape. Then my second is a juice i get from a B&M store here. Then my other is a juice I've vaped since just about the beginning, from Chi-Town Vapers. They only have sample packs and 36 ml bottles though, no other sizes.

Comp, the only "tobacco" flavor I still vape is Honey Wood Tobacco from Chi-Town Vapers. And I don't taste the tobacco in it at all, frankly. Used to be I would when I vaped a tobacco flavored juice for too long without switching up flavors, but now, when my mouth needs a break from a flavor, that flavor just tastes burned to me, I don't taste, well, the ashtray I used to taste. But that reminds me - not TOO long ago, I walked into my Mom and Dad's house. Now, my Dad's doc has been pushing to do e-cigs because of his lungs and because of his diabetes. He has all the stuff, just doesn't use it (doesn't help that he has his stuff stored in the car. Yeah, dad, your juice is gonna last in the car.). He wasn't SUPPOSED to be smoking in the house, but I walked into their house a while ago and the smell of smoke nearly had me headed for the hills. I mean, I still occasionally smell smoke in my downstairs bathroom because it's seeped into the wallpaper, but this was....strong. Dad had been going downstairs to smoke, thinking he was fooling Mom, but there's no hiding that smell. Family event in October was at my brother's sister in law's house, and it was the same thing walking in there. The smell just about hit me over the head. Sheesh, and my house, and I used to smell like that? Geeze.

When you say 7 - 12 a day, did you mean cigarettes, or packs???? If it's cigarettes, no, that's not heavy, and 18 mg should do you just fine. As far as dry hits, the only other thing I can think of is if you are chain vaping, and it can't keep up with you? Truthfully, I won't be much help with this, because I've only had a handful of dry hits in the last year and a half, I think all of them being in the first few months.

I'm not fond of big clouds, but sub ohming can produce it. That said, my SO, I believe sub-ohms, but doesn't cloud chase on purpose, unless he's doing it right next to my head on purpose to annoy me. Nothing I hate worse than going into a vape shop that doubles as a vape lounge and there is as much vapor hanging in the air from the two dudes sitting on the couch watching TV as you would get in a bar on a Saturday night when smoking was still allowed in bars.

Sent you a PM with some hopefully useful info in it for you. Everything is figured on % of the poverty level, and I sent you that table as well. And tell your wife to keep the Americans with Disabilities Act in mind, and she can get light duty if she needs it from her employer. Tell her I said to keep her chin up.

Wait - in the well? The coil is in the bottom, so I'm not sure I understand. Well, maybe my husband would, but frankly, he doesn't like me mentioning things like "my husband" online, or referring to him, so I'm not likely to be showing him this thread. It's a long story that I won't go into, but it's not him being an arsehat, it's a privacy thing.

Okay, I double checked with my SO, yes, it's a Kayfun 3.1 clone, not a Russian 91. Thanks to bad eyesight and probably not the best font used on the logo, I can't read the "brand" of the company that makes it on the logo, but it starts with an S. I can't tell you how it's filled because I TOTALLY did not understand what he said just now - he's in a hurry because he's studying for finals - so I'm going to have to wait to tell you THAT when he can walk me through it later tonight (hopefully). He's still insistent that I keep it upright overnight, even though (I don't think he knows it) although I set it in the mug that I keep the q-tips in to clean my connections for it to sit upright when I'm not using it, it ends up sliding and laying on it's side at the bottom of the mug. He's worried about it leaking, losing the vacuum, and having to "rebuild" it, but with a silica wick, I don't think you'd have to rebuild the coil and wick if it drained, I mean, silica wicks can dry out and be used again, right? BUT, e-juice all over my bedside table that used to be his grandmother's would probably be a bad thing. Would that be better or worse than the hole I burned in the bedspread thing when we were smoking analogs and I dropped my cherry? And darn it, it's a reversible bedspread, same color, both sides, but he makes sure the burn hole is on my side every damn time. It's how he knows that it's "in the right position", lol.

Just wondering. Granted, I've heard from, well, everywhere, not to trust Ultrafire, and even Trustfire are so-so, I believe, is what I heard. But the fact that this came off E-bay, and had another label UNDER the brand label could be an example of someone selling bad crap on E-Bay. We've seen how they've essentially sold batteries with very little voltage, or rather, very little capacity, wrapped in a brand name wrapping, selling it as a normal battery that we might use (I think this e-bay seller was using a Sony cover for the battery on the video I've seen).

Well, I think it is actually a Russian, I know it's a clone, not a Kayfun brand name, so I BELIEVE it's a Russian.

Actually, once approved for disability, it's only a five month delay before Medicare kicks in. Been through the process myself. Although it could take a while for the disability to actually be APPROVED. It took two years on mine, but I was going because of a multitude of conditions, and at the time, none of them alone were disabling. Well, okay, the chronic back pain was, but that still hadn't been diagnosed as anything other than POSSIBLY from the fibromyalgia. They never like approving on conditions without a diagnosis, even though my doctors clearly said due to a combination of factors this person can't work. But two years was one heck of a back payment. As for medications, well, I'm making an assumption on the medication for RA, but the cost of biologics sucks, doesn't it? If she's on a biologic, then she should be able to get some sort of assistance from the manufacturer to manage to get the drug, and as far as coverage between when she stops working and Medicare kicks in, there is always going through the affordable care act exchange - which is probably your best bet. If you are in a state that expanded Medicaid, income of 100% - 130% of the poverty level would put her on Medicaid, in ANY state, depending on your income, above 130% for a certain % of the poverty level (I can't remember how much) gets a subsidy to help pay for insurance found through the exchange. Above that, it's the full cost of the insurance found through the exchange, but I don't know how much that runs - my disability is the only household income, so I get both Medicare and Medicaid coverage. But medications for managing a lot of auto-immune disorders is out of line - the medication for my MS is, if I recall, somewhere along the lines of $52,000 per year without insurance.

One of the reasons why I chose the Kayfun 3.1 for my first RBA was since it was coiled at the bottom, like the ProTanks, or any bottom coil tank, I (perhaps wrongly) assumed I'd be able to lay it on it's side. If I leave an APV standing up, it's going to get knocked down. That's all there is to it. I'm a klutz, as you all know. So my SO built my Kayfun for me, and tells me I can't lay it on it's side, I can't lay the APV down when the Kayfun is attached, or it will leak, and rather than tilting it when I vape, heck, when most of us vape, I pretty much have to keep it vertical the whole time (I guess to avoid the coil from not being in contact with juice - it's a silica wick, BTW). So, I'm asking, do I have to worry about leakage, and well, can I actually tilt it to vape from it. Otherwise I'd have to bend my head forward and it would be slightly uncomfortable. Yeah, I know, bit**, bit**, bit**, whine, whine, whine. During the day, when I'm home, keeping it vertical isn't a problem. I have a holster on a lanyard for my Zmax, and I wear that around the house, but someone doesn't want me to wear that out of the house when I'm with him, even though going without it increases my chances of dropping the darned thing.

We had a case in the rural St. Louis area - a package was either too large for the mailbox, or it was a Fed Ex or UPS delivery that didn't require a signature, and they didn't take their vehicle up the rural long a** driveway, but they set it on top of her trash can. Well, the only reason the trash can was out there was because it was trash day. You guessed it, it got picked up with the trash.

Comp, with my mail carrier (granted, we are in a city - such as it is - neighborhood, a walking route) but if a box won't fit in the mailbox, she brings it to the door. If it's a large enough box that she has to park the truck in the middle of the neighborhood instead of around the corner to her block circuit, she'll wait until we come to the door after she knocks. But if it's a box that she can carry that just won't fit in the mail box, she either sets it on the porch beside the door and knocks and walks on her way, or she puts it between the doors and goes on her way. Where I grew up, although our NEIGHBORHOOD could have been a walking route, that carrier's route was a combination of neighborhoods and rural, so it was a car route - her personal vehicle that, eventually, USPS paid so she could move the driving controls to the right side. She wouldn't come to the door if she had a package that wouldn't fit in the mailbox, she'd sit at the mailbox (which was on the street, luckily right at the end of the driveway) and honk. If no one came out, she'd leave a note to pick it up at post office. We never got any registered or certified mail when I lived with my parents, so I have no idea how she handled that. As far as the anti-theft mailbox? A family member has one. The way THIS one operates is it has a slot for "normal" sized mail to be put in - big enough for say, magazines, and things shipped in envelopes. Then to open it, you need a key. Granted, it's a large box, but I could see no way of putting, say, a box even the size that you would receive an APV in, into the box, that is, unless the mail lady has a key, too, and I don't know it. But if that were allowed, the mail lady could potentially be responsible for keys for every box on her route, and getting the right key for your box. It's not like apartment mailboxes where they have a master key to open up the entire front panel so they can throw the mail into each box without unlocking each box.

Brian, I'm not so positive about that - the PG allergy thing. I mean, yeah, it's in products we use every day, but not products we consume. Touching PG and inhaling it produce two different bodily reactions, and you could have an allergy to one, and not the other. Earthling, cigarettes, and nicotine in general, are both stimulants. Any "calming" effect felt by the smoking of a cigarette, is in reaction to nicotine withdrawal, however, there are certain body processes that tobacco cigarettes, and probably nicotine in general, shut down, or slow, like digestion of food, etc.

There was one case that I watched on Forensic Files, and because of the time limitations, there were certain aspects they didn't go into, which were kind of key to the case. You would think that the wife just decided to off her husband. But when I saw the case on an hour long program on ID, it turns out that the wife was addicted to, I believe, Fentanyl (I hope I spelled that right), the very drug she specialized in detecting in blood for the coroner's office. She would steal the samples they had in the office for study - well, that and buying. Her husband was getting suspicious, so she killed him. The detective who interviewed her after the murder immediately tagged her as a junkie. I have a couple of chronic conditions that lend themselves to, well, lots of fatigue, but it's gotten bad the last bunch of months, and I don't sleep well at night, and get up early during the week to help get things moving in the morning with everyone leaving, not to mention medications that make me tired. Hence, the tendency to sometimes fall asleep at the drop of a hat. When I was working, before all of this stuff was uncovered, all I know is I was exhausted, I would spend my lunch break in the smoking area taking a nap. Well, okay, by that time, the smoking area had been moved outside, but the tables and chairs were still there, so I'd set the alarm on my phone, lay my head down on my arms, and snooze my break away.

The Protanks and the Davide are all over 2 ohms resistance. The Kayfun is, I believe, 1.6 ohms resistance. The Kayfun heats up, but not as much, and not necessarily all over. I actually assumed it was because of the different make up of the materials. Glass gets hot REALLY easily, and the metal on the Kayfun is thicker than the metal on the glass tanks. I think I'm going to end up getting lower resistance coils for the glass tanks. I vaped Cactus Juice from the Kayfun yesterday, about 1.6 ohms resistance, 8 watts, and later vaped the same juice on a 2.6 ohm coil. Even when I attempted to match the voltage output, it tasted almost like a different juice. *sigh* Now to break it to my husband. I have two and half packs of 2.4 ohm coils sitting here. We were just at a vape shop yesterday, and I could have gotten coils there for ABOUT what I would pay for a single 5 pack + shipping, but that was before we got the draw tightened down enough that I actually wanted to use the Kayfun, and could taste the juice. Don't want to ask him to stop at the vape shop in the town he goes to college in, since it's finals week. Maybe I'll ask him to take me Wednesday, when his finals are done, to get some 1.6 coils to try out.

Earthling, I never even THOUGHT about turning the MVP around and trying to use my finger to trigger it. But, yeah, I'm a firm believer in the MVP and the VTR. The reason I replaced the MVP with the VTR was I just got tired of having to go back to a stick battery, even a twist, while the MVP was charging. If you got for the VTR, you won't regret it, either. The only disadvantage over the MVP I ever saw was that with the MVP, you could get a an actual battery read-out, not just the red/yellow/green light indicating level of charge. The VTR, you only have the color of the light to indicate what your charge level is, so it got to the point where, say if I was going up to bed - which generally involves more than an hour of sitting, watching TV, and then another hour of reading, vaping the whole time, if the indicator was yellow, I would just swap the battery out before I went to bed. But, I also recall that 18650's don't last as long as the built in battery in the MVP. Jasonculp, you are right about the ego/510 fit in the the original MVP. I had forgotten about that. I had post issues sometimes when I used my MVP, and had to pull that center post up to connect.

Murder porn! If you watch South Park, you'll get the joke. I used to watch that stuff all the time - but the shows on Discover ID go more in depth on the same cases, because they are usually an hour long, but my husband started getting really paranoid that I was planning his murder, lol. I'm probably the wrong person to ask about naps, though, as I'll just up and fall asleep in the middle of day, dead to the world (except maybe a phone ringing) sitting on the couch, or I'll doze off sitting at my desk. But that's just me, lol. And sir, you didn't grab a power nap during the football game - say what my dad used to say. "I was just resting my eyes."

Yeah, so my SO has told me. I wasn't looking for something that I would have to make sure that I couldn't lay down, because, let's face it, I'm a klutz, and even when I was using my VTR or my MVP, if it was standing, I'd knock it down. And I did get just a tiny bit of leakage in the area where you adjust the airflow, evidently. So I guess when I go to bed, or when I leave the house, I switch the Kayfun 3.1 out for ProTank holding the same juice, since I leave my APV lying down on my bedside table to grab when I get up for any reason. If I put something on my table to stand it up, I would literally end up knocking it over in the dark.

If you are looking for a box mod, in most circumstances, you can't go wrong with either an MVP or a VTR, and the cost dependent on where you get. I wouldn't go for the 20 Watt MVP. But the original MVP and the VTR are pretty heavy duty. I'm an absolute klutz. I'm not shy about the fact that I have problems with my hands and sometimes have a hard time keeping a hold of things. I dropped both of them about a zillion times. Literally, the only thing that went wrong (other than sometimes, if I dropped it just right, it would somehow trigger the battery door on the VTR to pop open) is the last time I dropped the VTR, it bent what is basically an extender, so you don't have to put your tank down in the side of the VTR, and it's also where the ego threaded tanks hook up to. The thing about the MVP is where the trigger is located. It's smack dab in the middle of of the front face, so you have to use your thumb, and it takes more pressure to trigger than regular round batteries. And, well, there is the draw back that you have to charge it, but you have the Spinner to use while that's going on, and it takes no more than two or three hours, if I recall. The VTR has a side trigger button, so you would naturally use your finger. It's stiffer than other mods, but not nearly as stiff as the MVP. But you'll pay more for the VTR, and once you put a tank on a VTR, it weighs in at a full pound. The MVP is heavier than "non-box" mods, but still I'd say nearly half the weight of the VTR. Anyway, I've dropped both my MVP and VTR on pavement and not had problems with it - I've broken one tank and cracked another in drops, but the devices themselves were fine (AND broken a good drip tip in the process as well). They still function well. I replaced the MVP with the VTR, and replaced the VTR with my current Sigelei Zmax V5 only because of the trigger thumb and finger(s) problem I have in my left hand now, making it more difficult for me hold a box mod (and sometimes more painful to hold it as well).

Hiya! Been a while since I've been here, since I've had any desire to do much on the net, really. Oddest thing happened about a week ago. You all may remember a little over a year ago, I got to where I couldn't vape any juice at more than, depending on the juice, 6 watts, or 3.6 - 3.8 volts without it tasting burned. All of the sudden, a week ago, that changed, and I've been able to crank it back up again, and that makes me happy. Loved, loved, loved my VTR, but it's a bit of a heavy monster. Plus, the last time I dropped it, the little extender cylinder that fits down in the hole (that you have to use if you want to use a tank with an ego fitting) got bent, so it just looked a little weird, no big deal. But again, it's a heavy beast, and I started having trouble my left hand - trigger thumb stuff, but it got bad real quick this time, and where it fits in my hand is where it hurts to touch, and I'm a girl of habit, and couldn't make myself switch hands - I tried. So I got myself a Sigelei Zmax V5. Wow, so much lighter, and not NEARLY as much pressure required to activate, even over the VTR! So I'm a happy camper. But, I'm pretty sure I'm vaping more and going through more juice, because I'm holding it my hand more (well, I have a holster that goes around my neck now so I don't drop it all the time, but it's more convenient for me to hold more of the time than the VTR was), and if I'm holding it, I tend to hit it more. The Zmax IS a looser draw than the VTR was, but that was easily solved by going back to using the beauty ring with my Davide and my ProTanks. But a question. With the Zmax, even if I'm vaping at the lowly 6 watts, I don't know if it's because I'm hitting it more often, I don't think it's because I'm taking longer hits, but the tanks get hot when I'm vaping. I haven't used the Kayfun 3.1 MUCH, just the last 1/2 hour, really, but that heats up, as well, just not as hot as the ProTanks and Davide. I don't remember this happening when I had my first Zmax back a year and a half ago before I got my MVP, but I it could be that I'm hitting on it more than I did then. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I know this is an older topic, but I have a Kayfun 3.1 clone (I think that's it) and (here's a big edit) at first I thought it was too airy, but my SO looked at it again, and he hadn't adjusted the airflow as far down as it could go - it was all the way open. Some people drill bigger air holes in the regular Kayfun, my B&M shop tells me, but the 3.1 has adjustable airflow, and I think we've got it just about right on mine now after a couple of minutes of fiddling with it tonight. (I kid you not, it sat in a cup on my desk, unused for a week because it was too airy and I wanted to try to figure out if I could tighten the draw up more since I didn't want to just trash an RBA that I had bought and paid for because NOW I find out it's too airy....so I'm glad we figured it out.)

I should change that to say a cold METAL drip tip does not make for a comfortable vaping experience when you are out in the cold. Edit: Is there a time limit on being able to edit your posts? I wanted to edit my previous post to add this in, but it wouldn't let me (2 hours have passed, well, just over), but I could edit this post.
