FT spare parts for Russian/Kayfun?

[Blownupdolly]

When I bought my beloved Russian clone the other week, I didn't realise it didn't come with the clear tank section. Mr Dolly and I are putting in a FT order tonight for various bits and pieces. What I want to know is, do the Kayfun clear tank sections advertised going to fit my Russian? There doesn't seem to be anything listed specifically for it on there.

Hi Blownupdolly. Have a look at these two discussion threads on FT to point you in the right direction.

I wouldn't like to say yes or no as I have never purchased the spare parts kit.

That's great stamina thanks for that. I might as well take a chance on it for that price. Not a lot to lose.

Hi Blownupdolly.

I have the full polycarbonate tank for a Kayfun lite plus clone, I know its not exactly what your looking for but you can have it if you want it as I mainly use the full stainless set up or occasionally the clear middle part, would also give you an idea of the threads on the various versions of the Kayfun. If you want it pm your details and I'll send it to you F.O.C.

Good luck and let us know the results.

Dolly hope your feeling a little bit better than you were this morning.

Thinking of getting the Russian 91% from FT

Would you say its worth a purchase ? Blownupdolly

I didn't get it from FT Lenny, so I can't comment on what their ones are like. I got mine from hightectrading. A UK based guy who sells them for just £25! My one is excellent. Cannot fault it. He has quickly sold out, but will be getting more in. You don't get the clear tank though, which is why I am looking on FT. A few other members here have got one from this guy and I haven't heard of any problems so far.

I find if I use a silica wick I don't need a clear tank at all. I get a bit of a dry hit when it needs filled and no risk of vaping cotton wool ash. Bit more of a fiddle to get working right but after the first couple of tries it's easy enough

Thanks for that "The Dolster"

I will take a look at his site

lenny59 Some people are delighted with the russian and some are not. Something to do with the juice channels being to narrow but you can use a 1.8mm grinding bit to make the channels bigger.

I was unfortunate with mine because of the thread screws but the coils screws are cheap enough to buy. I sent FT a support ticket and they have sent me a new base which is still in Singapore.

Most people are cleaning them before use to get shut of the machine oil and swarf

Pot luck I'm afraid but easily rectified.

Awww that's lovely of you Striker. It's worth a go! I am happy to send postage cost via paypal as it's not right you be out of pocket to do me a favour.

lenny59 Yes I did. They originally named it the kayfun lite at 26 dollars and changed it to the russian and the price went down to 20 dollars but soon put the price back up again to the original.

Overall the one I got is good quality besides the screwy problem but if your willing to dabble with it then it will become a great buy.

Have a look at the discussion section on the item page, loads of threads relating to all sorts, some good and some bad.

The 5 star rating currently stands at 4.3

Send me your addie and I'll pop it in the post on Monday. F.O.C = Free Of Charge, just forget the postage. You might be able to buy three inches of silica and 4 inches of kanthal for Mr Dolly to wrap you a new coil for your Kayfun with it
