Oh man, that was a sweet little squonk box too! What was that, like, 2 or 3 years ago?

You ordered one custom?well ordered an integral from Smugglers
I think so. I have Arctic Fox on the S and run Moli 20700s in it usually. I figure that should work out rather splendidly at the low power I'm sure I'll be running it at. Not only that, but the Pico S is also predominantly silver.
Actually excited about the smugglers drip tip.
After much debate on which hybrid to get... had the authentic Mission XV in the cart, just couldn’t pull the trigger on a $50 drip tip
Same with the JMKs and Atmistiques... none were black...
Not a fan of whistle tips, except for HellFire, but then again $50
I decided on smugglers for $20 shipped, looked nice in straight black... asked for it to be as tall as their regular volcano tip... (11mm tall compared to 9mm) shall see if they do.
But most of all, BMM and Smugglers are located in New Mexico, a state I lived in, graduated High School from, learned the trade of HVAC and where my mums and pops live... so giving $20 to them was an easy choice, plus they’re made of the same aluminum vs stainless of factory and shouldn’t eat the threads as the factory but can with prolonged use.
If it rocks and looks good, I’ll be officially complete with “customizing” the BB, and all the happier. I had such a sour taste the last time with the BB, but this time... thus far... right as rain.
Tangent...
Pico 75 is my go to cheap mod for 23mm or smaller atomizers... plethora of color options, CHEAP... and works fairly well in TC with Arctic Fox... have it paired with a Dvarw MTL clone with Steam Tuners 3.5ml cap... $40
Tangent 2...
I should put an opinion based post up on great looking cheap combos people can buy to have a great vape experience.

Happy as a pig in mud
Recoiled the Snail... no reason besides wanting to see what it looked like after 5 tanks of juice...
That is 27w vaping using Gypsy’s HCC juice at 70/30 vg/pg
So yanked it and stuck in a 24g N80 2.5mm 7 wrap in, and what I like a lot about this thing... don’t have to wick it a certain way... just stuff the wick channel and look under and make sure the cotton isn’t sitting on the af and life is good.
Slapped it back together, poured some Red Pill 60/40 I have made... woot.
Only thing is that the Red Pill is 6mg oogles... but I only have 90mls of it left

This is a good idea. Why are you getting rid of the Gen 3 Dual already btw?
Did that with the snail... just no TC... well Caveman TC with the ole thumb lol
I need to find that roll of clear tape I have... and tape the bottom side of the BB...to eliminate table rash. Have a strip of blue painters tape on it now haha...
Oh I mailed that off 2 days ago lol
It was purely an impulse buy... I'm truly a mech head.
Plus I have a $460 knife that is about ready and need to pay... so selling off stuff I wont use or not using... plus don't want to hear the wife say what she normally does when I buy expensive shit.
Oh you bought another knife I see... or ... do you really need another gun?
I sometimes wonder if I need you with that nagging lol
This sexy thing...
Ordered it at the end of January... well put my interest in for it... he was at a 5 month back log then... and he would still have to make it... which can take him a week or two or three. Then it takes the trip from the Ukraine to California

Yeah I'd be hesitant with a purchase that size for sure.
I had one and it was too tight for me, but I like the draw looser than you do typically. I think you'd like it.
Also, if you have it, put a little plumbers tape around the AFC screw in the 510 pin. Otherwise you might have a little seepage.

Only going to get worse when the new system is finalized... no more feedback.
Guess we all can figure out a Feedback Megathread... since its searchable by name...
Sort of like we have on Chris Reeve Knives for sale pages on FB... all those that bought and sold and had a good transaction have linked the persons account, and either good or bad response... makes it really easy to find peoples names... then there is the EDC-Go-NoGo page also... primarily a rag on shit bags page... master list there similar to Vape Court...
Different software, which doesnt have the feedback plug in, there was a master thread that Joe posted about a month or almost two ago about it
Two weeks... not to bad... he is really slow in responding which is driving me nuts lol...
wanting to know shipping costs from the Ukraine to me.
I am thinking $40 since he said $460 for a similar knife about a week ago... was black and different blade layout than I liked... but quoted me $420 in our chat earlier...

We can make one somehow I'm sure. We'll figure it out cuz I buy way to much to purchase from someone with zero feedback

Aw now I have to believe that if you saw it, you had to find my (and others) arguments for the software upgrade compelling. Or at least worthy of serious consideration.it was funny though... Joes Thread... Vote on the change... Poll never worked LOL... somehow there was a bunch for it... but it felt like it was deemed to be changed but with the feel we had a choice
Exactly. There's a bunch of ways to have effective feedback without a feedback plugin. In my view, potential security concerns going forward in aging core software is more important. I said it all in that thread.
I saw the pros and cons... to me I just like seeing the Green numbers under peoples names... it makes it fast to gauge a buyer/seller. Other than that... sold on other forums without that feature and life was fine and faster and cleaner look is fine with me...
Like on FB... master list... works fine, just have to hit the search button for the persons name... no return hits... they have no feedback then.
Can even start the master list with our screen shot names showing previous reps...
Firstly, my phone is about 99.999% used for internet. And I loathe speaking on the phone.
But... I highly recommend BB phone customer service. Anna was lovely. And sorted shipping upgrade over the phone, after I hurried through checkout on the weekend.

There is always the option to tag a couple of mates to provide vouches.
It is not ideal. But better than nothing.
I'm gonna see how it is first, but the authentic pin is only like 10 bucks. Actually all of the Svoemestro accessories are not too bad on price. I'd be willing to spend a FEW more bucks not to have to wait on China these days.
I've now watched every youtube video on the 2019. A couple are pretty bad. One in particular clearly had no idea what he was doing. I'm watching him wick the thing and even never having owned this tank, I KNEW it was going to gurgle and leak. Sure enough, the guy's conclusion is that it's a rip off because it gurgles and leaks. Bonehead.
So long as you keep your wicks press against the open slots in the wick wells you'll be fine. Easy peasy!

This is my take on RTAs or RBAs or any atomizer.
If you need to wick it in an ever so delicate and precise way to be functional... its shit, regardless of how it vapes after.
There is absolutely no room in my life or patience to deal with that.
My love hate (Mostly hate) relationship I had with the Boreas... that thing was AWESOME when it was wicked absolutely right... and that was a huge feat to accomplish lol
The older BB RBAs, same scenario
All the newer "high end" Rtas that need special technique or what have you... pfft.
This is why I absolutely love the Snail and the BB this go around... it was just toss a coil in, cut the wicks, stuff said wicks, vape... as it should be
Yeah Im opinionated on this subject... but I don't think I am wrong

Yeah, I don't see how wicking could be a problem with this tank. Unless you REALLY overpack the ports or do like this guy and have them barely even peeking into the top of the ports leaving visible space in those slots.
Pretty much everything I know about Kayfuns I've learned in the last few days. One thing I've noticed is that Svoemestro clearly thinks through their deign decisions based upon real life vaping experience. You can look at the details of the design and immediately understand from a vapers pov what they were thinking in doing it that way.
The concave base, the slots in the wicking ports, the shape of the posts around the screws and even the bottom fill and weird airflow adjustment were done with intention. There were real functional reasons why they did those things that way. Bottom fill for instance was not just because they're stuck in the past though it is 100 times better than the earlier versions. All while, I think wisely, maintaining the overall deck design that made them what they are.
I have high hopes for this tank, but I still won't blame you guys if I don't like it for some reason.

I don't mind if a tank wants to be built and wicked a certain way IF that certain way is fairly easy to do once you know what it is. The Themis is like that. It vapes GREAT when set up one certain way and horrible if not. However, that one certain way is idiot proof once you know what it is.
The Ijoy Limitless XL on the other hand will leak like a warm summer thunderstorm UNLESS you get it setup one certain way, but no matter how many times I've wrestled with it, I'm still not sure what exactly that one certain way happens to be. I've hit it a couple times, but can't reproduce it at will.
The Kayfun Lite 2019 is not difficult to build and wick. Looking at it, it can't be. This one guy, who seemed to generally have at least some knowledge overall, managed to figure out how to do it wrong.

Never owned a Kayfun... almost did a few times... then after more research found out they wouldn't be my vape preference.
I think they were all built nicely... not always the best looking devices, but that is vanity speaking and not quality of the vape experience.
For example.. I was adamant on getting an authentic Taifun GTR... it looked tits... easy to build... I got the clone... glad I didnt buy the authentic... was like vaping through a gnats ass... and that was with the DL positive pole lol... still have the clone... sits in the drawer
Somewhere along that way I saw prices on what must have been earlier models and pushed the Kayfuns right off my radar. Way WAY outta my economic class so I just never paid attention.
The Kayfun name is synonymous with mtl. Period. And yes of course there is no product that will please everybody.
There's another one. Up there in the price range of the older Kayfuns. Can't do it. Especially not when I have dtl and rdtl atties that cost a fraction as much and vape great.
The 2019 seems to be Svometro's attempt at at least somewhat competing in the upper mainstream. Way simpler and way less expensive while still delivering the Kayfun mtl experience. Grimm for instance is a huge Kayun guy for years and he says they have succeeded in that mission. I guess I'll find out if that applies to me.
Fwiw, you know I like a pretty tight draw. With the 2019, I turn the af screw in until it is right at the base of the af hole, then one turn after that. So probably 90% open. Way way no need for any reducers, imo.
I wasn't thinking so much of making it tighter overall, but making the hole right under the coil tighter. That's apparently what the accessory pin does. I've actually seen nobody say they're using it, but it caught my eye.
