      Shame about the RSST, chris. I nearly bought one before the good folks at Cloud9Vaping persuaded me to try the Kayfun. Apparently the AC9 and RSST are a complete ball ache to work properly plus there is the leaking issue. Also, stainless steel mesh is known to give headaches to certain individuals. I am quite prone to headaches so I figured it was best to avoid this particular wick. I have absolutely no issues using ekowool.

      Just get a kayfun chris! Your hunt for perfection will be over! πŸ˜„

        I am interested to know what the difference (in vaping experience) is between the Vivi Nova and the Kayfun.

          It's a more customisable experience, Gareth. You can change your own coils to achieve whatever effect you want; instant and punchy or slower and smooth. The amount of coils and gauge of wire determines this. The air flow can also be adjusted to suit your vaping style.

          I've tried loads of vivi nova style atties now, including the iClear30 and while they do the job, the flavour doesn't come anywhere close to that of the kayfun. I'm not an ambassador for Svoemesto, but they have done a mighty fine job with the Kayfun 3.1.

          If you do consider getting one in the future, don't forget the Provari extension ring which makes everything look nice and smooth.

          [edit]: If anyone is looking to get a Kayfun Lite, there is a new version coming out with adjustable airflow. Saying that though, you may as well get the 3.1 as it's pretty much the same thing now! The 3.1 has the fill valve on the side whereas the Lite needs to be unscrewed at the bottom with a screwdriver.

                Hey Chris, look what I got!! 😍
                Reverse treading locking ring, silver plated contacts, isolator at the bottom switch.
                But I don't have any battery or charger. I'll buy some this weekend, and a drip aty.

                    Thanks for the inspiration to stay smoke-free! πŸ‘ What a huge difference! The first thing I noticed about quitting was a bigger lung capacity.

                    I remember dissecting a pig's lungs at school, the teacher said, "Do NOT blow into the lungs."

                    So what did I do? I blew into the lungs and received a blow-back of pig mucus all over my face! πŸ˜† Lesson learnt. 😳

                    Stefan: What is that?

                        How's everyone going?

                        I forgot to order new DIY mixing E-Liquid and had to buy some liquid from a local shop. I tell you what, I have no idea how I ever used to vape this stuff it's absolutely terrible! Very sickly and the liquid goes brown after a couple hours of use whereas my home-made liquid never discolour or go sickly. Can't wait for my vape mail delivery tomorrow!

                        Still on Juicy Fruit flavour and Cinnamon Redhots. Yummy! πŸ˜„

                          I also like those flavors, I recently frequented our new store (1 mile away http://www.artisanvaporcompany.com/ ) that has those and a flavor that is so awesome called 'American pipe tobacco', I swear if any regular cigarette smoker just tried it they'd quit smoking on the spot and vape.

                          Still vaping, 7 plus months smoke free, so happy I bought my Provari, that thing is awesome, strong and faultless, never had a moment's issue.

                            I'm not trying to quit... but a local store owner gave me a EGO-C4E and I've been using it for a few days and already I'm down about half on my smoking. It's not bad... using the MB flavored juice which is just standard tobacco flavored. seems like the juice stretches a long way. kinda surprised at the vapor, it actually feels like a cigarette. will see how it goes.

                              Great work Kris! Many people quit without even realizing it. When/if you get a better vape setup the need to smoke just completely disappears. You are doing it the best way; if you get in the mindset of "quitting" it can make your brain want to do the opposite. Just enjoy your vape and see how it goes. πŸ‘

                              I still use my Provari when out and about because the MVP is massive, it looks like a detonator or walkie-talkie! πŸ˜†
                              I can't fault the Provari either, I'm clumsy as hell with it but it never fails.

                              Stefan the xtar is well priced and reliable, you can insert the magnet thingys for other batteries too. That's the charger I use for my Provari and it's still working fine.

                              For DIY mixing you only need PG, VG, nicotine, de-ionised water and flavourings. You can get the water from an automotive shop and it costs pennies, it's the same stuff you use to top-up batteries/coolant etc. It doesn't leave any residue in your device. You will find bigger vapes use more liquid so DIY is a must, unless you can get dirt-cheap premixed which is near impossible here in the UK.

                              If you need any vape recipes let me know. It's soooo easy after your first go. Very simple to increase and decrease vapour production versus throat hit. I will give you the exact amount you need for a 50/50 PG/VG mix or 60/40 PG/VG, whatever you like.

                              PG based nicotine is better because you can syringe it up easier. Most flavourings are PG based too because it takes on flavour better.

                              The de-ionised water is used to thin down the VG because it's very very thick. I make a mixture of 85% VG to 15% water.

                              So basically...

                              PG based nicotine (I use NEAT 54 brand, almost tasteless and 54mg nicotine)
                              PG
                              VG
                              De-ionised water
                              Flavourings (make sure they do not contain diacetyl)
                              5ml syringes
                              1ml syringes
                              50ml or 30ml mixing bottles
                              You can also get 100ml travel bottles for your VG/water mixture which is referred to as AG (aqueous glycerol)

                              πŸ˜„

                                Hello everyone, I'm waiting to get my stuff I ordered, some 18650 AW IMR batteries, a decent xtar charger, some plastic boxes for batteries storage (get some Oli), some magnets, a couple of drip tips, a dripping atomizer (Igo-L). I can't find Noalox for threads protection, so I'll need to find something similar. I'm pretty excited, buying a mechanical mod, will open new frontiers for me. I'm about to plunge into mixing my own liquid myself, but the variety of bases and flavours is overwhelming.
                                Kris, the best thing in your case is that, there is no pressure. It's not only the nicotine, but the variety of flavours you can taste. The best part for me, was the possibility to vape in bed for example, or while I'm around my kid. Good stuff!
                                Regards,
                                Stefan

                                  I'm using this set-up for the last two days, and I'm happy as a clam! Dripping is awesome!
                                  If only was more "portable".
                                  Happy vaping!

                                    Awesome Stefan, it looks the mutt's nuts! (good lol) πŸ‘

                                    I never got into dripping because I'm always out and about but from what I hear it's a great experience.

                                    Gonna rebuild my Kayfun coil, had this one in over a month which is a record for me. Unfortunately vapour production must be half the normal amount so it's time to get out the wire and wick! πŸ˜† I'm still on the original wire and wick I bought months ago; rebuilding is sooooo much cheaper than buying pre-made coils.

                                    Which wire and wick are you using for that setup mate?

                                    Keep on vaping! πŸ˜„

                                      Cheers Oli,
                                      I made my setup exactly like the image attached, but with thicker wicks. 2mm silica wick and 0.2mm kanthal, 5 wraps at 2 wicks. I got a 1.7 ohm coil. There are so many set-ups for dripping to choose from. The most important thing is positioning the air hole, according to the coil. I didn't tried a really low coil yet, or a micro-coil, to see what's the fuzz about this subject.
                                      You really should buy a drip aty, they are sooo cheap because of the simplicity of the construction. I got an I-go L, really cheap, like 10 $ , but there are some better ones out there, like Nimbus, or Trident or I-go W.
                                      The best thing about dripping (besides the perfect flavour) is the fact that you can change really fast the flavour. You put like 10 drops of new flavour, vape for 5 minutes, then put another 10 and you got a new flavour. I had trouble with one particularly, very sweet who didn't go away, but I pushed the fire button until all the juice was gone, basically, I did a dry burn to the coil.
                                      The mechanical mod is heavy, but I love it! It feels manly, raw and in my opinion, beautiful. I might consider purchasing a kick, just to have the option to set my sweet spot, regardless the coil I have. I didn't believed I'll go so far into this vaping experience, but the fact that I had quitted smoking, not spending so much money, feeling so much better, pushes my to want to vape better. I'll still be using the ego kit, but I'll carry the mod with me in the bag.
                                      Like I said, I'll try to make my own juice soon, and I thing it will be easy. I have already mixed base with nicotine available on stores, so I'll just need to experiment with flavours.
                                      I wish you all great vapors, whatever devices are you using! The most important thing is that we have a better life.
                                      Cheers,
                                      Stefan

                                          The link doesn't work for me Gareth.

                                          Are you suggesting they are going to try and further regulate E-Cigs in Australia?

                                          Smoke is smoke....vapour is vapour. E-Cigs don't fall into a tobacco definition because they contain nicotine, not tobacco.

                                          They tried suggesting regulation of E-Cigs as a medicine here in the UK, but it fell through and ultimately the vapers have won the first battle! Woooo!

                                          It's all about money anyway, the governments will try their utmost to brand E-Cigs as tobacco products just so they can bring in some more revenue. Quite sad really.

                                          By the way, if you have any difficulty finding good suppliers for Australia, try ordering from Cloud9Vaping as they ship worldwide.
