Thanks. Just had an order from Stealthvape so I will have a look. I like the idea of it being USB rechargeable.

I'm always in a hurry  but it could be worth a punt at that money

Update: called into Mass Vapour but none of the lads were there that I'd recognise and be able to ask, but will be going on Saturday, which is the 'coiling and fix issues' day anyway, so all good and looking forward to learning more about coiling etc too. Amazing to have an actual vape cafe locally, and they're lovely there. Called into Maplins and the guy there suggested using solder, so, if the superglue doesn't work now, I'll see if there's a solderer at Mass Vapour on Saturday, lol. You never know! I don't mind having a go myself if there's a soldering iron there, just for fun.

no no no no no no no no no no no

please dont try to solder a pin to a snapped off screw body, your more likely to drop flux n solder down into the thread and solder the screw in place permanently......

You're right phatfil; I had wondered that, and thought it would take the steadiest hand and tiniest tools to be able to do that. Having got stubborn and tried to hammer it back through with the thinnest tool I could find, it is never going to budge I don't think, but then I'm not that strong ... plus the hole is now slightly 'altered' shall we say, from me doing that. Meh *raspberry*, lol. Like to solve things, and had thought it would be useful to post if I could sort it, but sometimes things don't fix. I'm all stubborned out now, plus grateful to be gifted one. Time to do other things, lol.

A quick update: the lads at Mass Vapour took a look at it, tried to remove the broken screw, and it's a goner. They said drilling it out would most likely damage the threads anyway. I've ordered the little positive post from FT this morning, having not realised they sell them; yay! Will need to wait a couple of weeks at least, despite e-packet choice, as eg the new Subtank Mini rba base isn't in yet, which will delay post. But it's on it's way, plus thanks again to Sarah for posting me the Kayfun. Excited about it being on it's way and really appreciate.

I'm the same kittyvape. Must have spent about 10 hours this week just 'playing' (i.e. trying to fix) my KFL+!
