Laughing at the picture of the dummy in the suit holding a vamo like a cigar, yeah right.

And you can rebuild the heads. If it comes apart it's rebuildable, some are just well, err, um...................tricky.

I have one of those (Chinese) kits in a box, designed for use on mobile phones. There is a good range of unusual bit types in there which more than covers all the vaping kit I've used so far but I wouldn't trust the flat screwdriver tips, way too soft IMO. I have some proper jewellers screwdrivers for the kind of screw head that no one can see without something like x40 magnification!

Had to have a go on the YoYo sale, pulled the trigger on the MPV II kit at £14 this morning.
Can't complain.

It's got a bit of an odd contour to it, however I've noticed a lot lately that manufacturers seem to be adapting aluminium extrusions that were designed originally for other purposes.
I suppose just having suitable end caps machined up along with a bit of general machining and engraving/etching is cheaper than commissioning a whole new design.

It's not a good idea to go out and leave any batteries charging unattended.

Still had problems using a 'mesh topper' on SS rope, and I've tried this build in a Kraken, an AGA-TD, and an AGA-T+.
When I did manage to get a build working it was a juice guzzler apart from the other drawbacks.

I use 2 lengths of .23 Kanthal twisted to make one wire, four to five wraps over pre oxidised mesh works a treat in my Kraken. I tried two wicks made to the same spec but it was a throat ripper!
I have 2.5mm SS rope but I've never managed to get it to wick properly, I find it needs a hefty low ohm coil to heat up properly and it doesn't seem worth the extra battery drain.

It looks like that notice supposedly from Kangetech was written by one of FT's rivals in Chinglish.

For those of us that use taps and dies, metric screw threads were the best thing since sliced bread. No more Whitworth HOORAY!

Ripshod there's loads on Youtube about the Kuro, But I found this one just for you! the guy do the review is a bit of a plank but he shows all three and at the end there's a handy hint where he uses the rod as a support for when he puts the coil in a mod,,, Mow,,, The ever enthusiastic RiP Tripper, it's the first time I've seen him without a hat. The beard's had a trim as well by the look of it. He's quite muted in this video, you wanna see him when he really gets going! |

Orrible! Asymmetric cut-outs, and tasteless engraving. Good paperweight though.

Sand the duff faux Walnut burr paint finish off and polish the ally, change the battery orientation to parallel, fit a better switch and a mosfet......................Better still, don't bother and put the cash toward something decent.
