Good on them.
I've always believed that this ends in the courts.

Well since the only option is to bin it as I do not have the appropriate tools to drill and tap it then getting a screw stuck half in/out is a risk I'm prepared to take.
No idea what size screw I'd need though.
Does anyone know what the next size or two up is for the kayfun filling screw or is it a really difficult question to answer?

drill and tap to the next size I have thought of that but since I have no kind of vice to grip the base whilst drilling I thought better of it. Do you know what the next size screw up is for a Kayfun lite as I was thinking of just buying a size or two larger screw and trying that out?

I have a kayfun lite clone where the threading in the fill hole has been stripped (not by me) so the screws that came with it no longer create a seal and it leaks constantly.
Apart from ordering a new deck, does anyone know of any bodges/fixes for such an issue?

I think I'm going to bail out on the group buy. Sorry.
Been thinking about it a lot and just don't think I really want the hassle of organising it and sending out the orders.
Not very community spirited of me I know, but think I'll just go it alone with my order.

5ml Rhubarb & Custard (Vapable own brand) 5ml Coconut Symphony v2 5ml Lemon & Cardamom Cookies v2 The rhubarb and custard, did you use Rhubarb and Custard separate or a one shot? I have tried 2 different pre-mixed now and I love them. Not quite sure how to make it to my liking though, I like to taste the rhubarb more than the custard, plus I don't know which rhubarb to get???
I bought this one shot concentrate vapable.com/product/rhubarb-custard/ to try out. I know there is recipe that's high;y rated for Rhubarb & Custard on here and that is using Cupcake World Rhubarb flavouring.

I can give an example: I bought this product from them www.fasttech.com/p/1651403 It is badly made and I basically binned it within days of receiving it. I put up a review about it to help other people, and it still hasn't been "approved" All it has is glowing reviews. This isn't the first time this has happened to me. Like I said all my positive reviews go up really fast. I use fasttech regularly, but I don't trust the reviews, and with good reason. Not my experience. I've posted negative reviews and seen them go on as quickly as any positive reviews I've posted. If I'd posted a negative review that wasn't posted then I'd raise a ticket and want to know the reason why. As I say the site is full of negative reviews and comments in the discussion forums.

MarkS. lemon and cardamon cookies sounds yum yum, where did you get the concentrates from ? It was one of my first experimental recipes I tried when I started mixing and I was trying to replicate actual cookies that I sometimes bake. The original recipe which was pretty good is: 10% Lemon meringue pie (Cap) 7% Graham Cracker (TPA) 3% Almond (Silver spoon) 1% Cardamom (FA) 1% Ethyl Maltol When I made that I only owned around a dozen concentrates, but now I am spoiled for choice I thought I'd try a v2 version which is: 5% Natural Lemon (UK Flavours) 5% Biskot (Inawera) 3% Almond (UK Flavours) 2% Cardamom (FA) 1% Sweetner Not sure how the new one will turn out after steeping, but it smells good and tastes good too on a finger test. If you don't have those concentrates drop me a pm and I'll send you out a 5ml sample of each mixed and you can tell me what one is better. Good to have an objective opinion. Let me know nic strength, pg/vg preferences etc.

Be careful of reviews on fasttech they don't put up the bad ones Good reviews go up lightning fast, the rest stay "pending" for years Myth. There are plenty of bad reviews on fasttech as well plenty of negative comments in the discussion section of each product. Most reviews will go up within 2-5 days. They even allow negative comments about products in the discussion section from people who do not even own the product and seem to think they know it all by simply looking at a photograph.

I personally think that endorsement of cloud chasing comps by vendors and juice producers doesn't do the industry any favours what so ever.
Each to their own and if people want to cloud chase then so be it.
Industry endorsement smacks of irresponsibility to me and is ammo for the antz.

Spustard: 5% Inawera Spiced Biscuit 10% KH Creamy Vanilla 10% LT Vanilla Custard Space Fairy: 7% LT Absinthe 20% 8BitVape Tropical Space Pirate Cuckoo Spit: 12% TPA Banana Cream 8% Capella Marshmallow 5% Inawera Mint Mix In my humble opinion you're going to need to double if not treble the ltecigs custard. Not a concentrate i'd personally be buying again.
