1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.

    Hey Guys, this is for all the Kayfun users out there. This info will be a "cut and paste" from ECF. auther TheKiwi.
    You may not use any of the resources linked but at least it will give you specs of all O-Rings and Screw for most Kayfuns. I hope it will be useful for some of you.

    "
    First thing! If anyone is looking for:
    1) a source of replacement o-rings
    2) replacement deck screws with flat bottoms (many clones have crappy post screws that are rounded at the bottom, making it real hard to capture your leads)

    and like me, refuse to pay the ridiculous mark up for normally dirt-cheap and accessible parts, you're in luck.


    O RINGS:
    (Btw, the information in this post is courtesy of the very kind ECF-er, Akdare)


    What:
    1) Fill screw oring (the super tiny ones): 2mm inner diameter x 1mm wide
    2) Chimney (sits in the top cap, where the top chimney section slides through): 5mm inner diameter x 1.5 mm wide
    3) Base and other sections: 18mm inner diameter x 1mm wide

    Where:
    1) Fill Screw oring: McMaster-Carr
    2) Chimney oring: McMaster-Carr
    3) Base and other sections orings: McMaster-Carr

    SCREWS:
    1) What: Those tiny screws for capturing the leads on the deck. Critical dimension: M1.6x0.35mm

    Where:1) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Machine-Scre...item4d1ed99528. (If this is no longer listed, look for the seller Zoro Tools, and find the Cheese A2 SS 3mm Slotted screws. I've found the 3mm to be absolutely perfect)

    2) http://www.fastener-express.com/m1.6...-qty-50-1.aspx (this is a philips head instead of slotted)

    There are definitely other sources, but these are the 2 places I've personally bought from and tested them. The main thing about these screws is the fact that the bottom of the screw head is flat, allowing for super easy captures.

    2) What: Fill hole screws! (information courtesy of Paul.K)
    a. Kayfun Lite: M2.5 Countersunk, length = 4mm
    b. KFL+ : M2.5 Pan head, length = 4mm
    b2. From MaxUT: For the KFL+, apparently the M2.5 x 0.45 x 5 screw also works (Havent verified this myself)

    Where: No clue for a. and b. I personally haven't bought these replacements before so i can't help. If you know of a source, please let me know!

    For b2, it can be found here: http://www.mcmaster.com/#92000a103/


    and oh lastly as a side rant,

    to all you sneaky greedy vendors charging $8 to $15 for a tiny pack of o-rings, shame on you guys and well, *** you. [​IMG]

    Thanks guys, it's my pleasure and duty to at least to share the knowledge for safer vaping everywhere (man I sound like a commercial). BTW where in Bangkok do you guys get your screws, o-ring, stuff like that? Do you have a Thai version of a Home Depot? I love places like that.

    If I find more helpful info I hope you don't mind me posting. ;)

    @judas, yes Sir I believe you selection will do just fine, cheaper too!!!! Nice one bro.
