Russian 91 clone Fasttech Defective negative post.

[Deleted]

I spent my birthday money on a nemesis and a kayfun lite clone from fasttech, the kayfun lite clone is now renamed as a russian 91 clone.

I was so looking forward to this set up but the negative post is defective as every single screw just falls into the hole. The positive post is okay but without the negative post able to hold any screws then the whole product is caput.

I have been onto fasttech and waiting for a reply but does anyone have a solution.

Can you not wedge it in with anything? Bit rough but might keep you going

Yep, find a small nail or tack and use it as a pin instead of a screw and just wedge it in.

Update. Fasttech are sending me a new base and screws which is good of them but I reckon the sun will be here before they arrive.

Not found anything yet to wedge in but will keep on searching

bigger screws ????

[marlbororman]

bit of silver foil even for packing the hole ????

[marlbororman]

or even double the end of yer kanthal wire up, shove it down the hole and put yer screw in.

marlbororman. I know but I wanted something more secure than messing all the time when changing the coil but cheers anyway. The bigger screws idea is not so easy as I need to make the hole bigger and don't have the tools.

i aint changed my coil for 10 days and still perfect mate,you will be suprised how long it will last tbh. i use 2 lengths 2mm silica and .20 kanthal, 1.6 ohm coil. navy nest wick. google search navy nest you will find it. perfect coil every time.

Same applies to a microcoil/cotton build - once you've got the coil on, you only need to change the cotton. The coil will last weeks - probably as long as it takes for your replacement to arrive, as long as you change the cotton regularly and give a quick dry burn.

Alternatively, if there's nothing you can do to fix it, you could put a wanted notice in the classifieds for a kayfun clone deck - just in case someone has a spare lying around.

i think if he can get it coiled and working it will last out for the replacement. mines had 40 or 50 ml through it now

Just remember to dry burn the coil BEFORE adding the fresh cotton wool - it doesn't take kindly to burning!!!

I forgot this first time I did a coil using cotton wool, and after taking a age to get the amount of cotton wool just right

boyofford - join the club - I too learnt the hard way! At least a big bag of cotton wool balls from Superdrug cost me less than £2 and should last me into my dotage!!
