No Problem Ld3441 I didnt know much about the kayfun, and I knew someone in here would be able to fix or use it so I tossed it in!

Glad you figured out the problem @Surgikill .
I included the batteries that came with that mod but not sure if they are still with it.
I used it a couple of times and had no problems, I just don't/didn't use it and want a smaller one.
Sorry for those that had trouble with it, I would not put it in if it wasn't working.
Broken stuff, user error, it's all the same, throw it in!

I would not want to PIF something that does not work but that is just me.
Understandable, but what doesn't work for you may work for someone else. I threw in a Nautilus tank that was missing the glass only because I know people like to do crazy things with their stuff so maybe they'd have a use for it. Broken Kayfun? That screams spare parts to me.

I love broken stuff! Either for the challenge/fun of fixing or for parts. I took the Caravela tubes from the PIF box and tonight I made a stainless topcap for my Magma with 1/2 of one of the tubes (pic attached). I love my magma but do not like dripping through the driptip and also don't like having to unscrew the top every time I need to drip. Before tonight I had a full delrin topcap on it but it would expand slightly when hot and start to spin very easily, closing off the air holes. If I had a Caravela mod I would have used the 1/2 with the logo on it to match the mod, but I don't, so I didn't. Also made a delrin driptop to go with it. I had to increase the inner diameter of the tube a bit and put an o-ring on the magma but it works great. All done on my wood lathe.

All that being said just to emphasize: one man's (or woman's) trash could very well be another man's (or woman's) treasure.

btw love the vest did you make that? I use to work nights in the oilfield and we looked for something similar with orange neon wire trimming it never could find anything like that :(
I just saw this. Yes I made it. Took about twelve hours hand stitching it. You can buy orange el wire with built in stitching material for a vest. Would cost about thirty bucks for each vest, including the batteries and wire driver.

Haven't shipped yet. Don't have an addy. I'm leaving town the twelfth so if I don't get an addy by then I don't know what to really do.

If you have not received information within 2 business days get in touch with next on the list and move on to them.

If I were you I would go ahead and get the mailing info of the next person on the list, so your ready to ship and they know we are all keeping communication at it's best.

Good plan!

(I did just check the first post of this thread and it says 2 business days)
If you have not received address information by the end of the day today, you are free to send it to the person next in line after them. Please prepare their shipping information in anticipation of having to jump over someone. Excellent communication here folks, love to see it. Sorry I'm a failure at communicating some days :(

Rut roh. Ok change in plan. I'll send it on to smoky. I just pm'd adk, but I see it's too late to forward it. Ok I'm sure I have something I can add. Boyfriend pif'd most of his stuff to his nephew. Nevermind. Sorry for the confusion. It's all good. You're after me smoky. I don't have as much to add, but at least a dripper and a little juice.

Home from work. I haven't heard back from adk as of yet. If he's already mailed the box to me, I'll accept it and participate as originally planned. If he hasn't, then I can have him contact @Smoky Blue and he can send it to her.

Is this ok with @Sigmardin and @ Delion? And @Smoky Blue?

@TheDude has been active on the forums so maybe he just doesn't want to be in on the box? If so just tell us :D

Yep, I do. When I hear back from adk, I'll have better info.

I had pm'd him before reading the posts earlier, then read here that it had been mailed to me. Then I discovered that that was actually up in the air, still. I managed to confuse myself there.... so............ I'm still waiting to hear back from him. At this point, it's all a go, still. My apologies for the absolute confusion on my part.
