KAYFUN/RUSSIAN CONVERSION
Several people have asked me if the two section screw found in the Russian can replace the single screw design of the Kayfun in order to make the Kayfun’s pin adjustable without messing up the internal build.
The answer is… well… I haven’t been able to do it.
The problem I’ve run into is that each device has a different insulator at the 510 connection.
You can’t just switch the screw assemblies, you have to switch the insulators as well or the post on the Kayfun will stick out too far (see photos below). The Kayfun’s is easy to remove, however the Russian’s is in there and GOOD. I tried to use a drill bit to push it through, no luck. Tried banging on the drill bit, no luck. With the drill bit in place, I tried banging on the 510 connection with a Jewelers nylon mallet. It moved, but I couldn’t get it all the way out.
Fearing damage to the 510 connection, the insulator (which you can already see is a little chewed up in the photos below from me trying to get it out), and the Russian itself, I gave up.
If anyone has been able to do this, let me know.
Thanks!

Typically, I post these in the “Success Stories section. But I can hope that Paul’s story, condition, message, and upbeat attitude can influence others as to why and when to quit smoking.
Hey Phil,
Thank you first for inspiring me to learn a higher level of vaping as far as
builds and devices.
But this letter is a hopefully short letter to tell you how i started vaping.
Last April I was diagnosed with lung cancer after 49 yrs of smoking. This was
on top of emphysema so I knew my road would be bumpy to say the least. The
doc asked if I smoked and laughing said yes. He said I need to quit smoking!
Of course I asked the same question anyone would “isn’t that like shutting the
door to the barn after the horse escaped”! Of course I just laughed. But he
said my treatment would be easier if I did. Well I went to Walmart and got some
fifty dollar kit and it took away my craving without having to quit smoking.
From there I went to ego style system and then an evic. I’m hooked on vaping.
I research all I can on your site and YouTube.
I wish I found this earlier I only have 6 to twelve months to live. But not
smoking has me feeling so much better. I can run up stairs and my mate admires
my stamina lmao.
I guess if there’s a message here its that there is no “too late” to quit smoking.
My quality of life is so much better since I found this alternative in April.
Thanks again Phil for all your helpful info. Oh BTW I did get that Aspire
Nautilus tank yesterday and my Hurricane Vanilla Sky is rocking it in that topper.
I know I’ll break that glass though!Paul
Paul, my message to you… keep vaping, keep running up those stairs and keep LMAOing!! Thank you for your story.

STAY CALM, DO THE RESEARCH, AND FIX THE PROBLEMS
As you know, I’ve never held back any information about vaping be it good or bad…
A recent study performed by Dr Farsalinos revealed the presence of some potentially harmful-to-inhale ingredients in electronic cigarette liquids. In order to define the magnitude of the problem and provide the solution for the safety of all vapers, we (they) decided to organize this fund-raising campaign and obtain as many e-liquid samples as possible that will be tested in an experienced and highly-specialized laboratory.
So Dimitris and Dr. Farsalinos have set up a fund-raising campaign in order to complete the research to identify potentially harmful ingredients found in e-liquids. The funding required is relatively small and I urge those of you who are in the electronic cigarette business (e-liquid vendors!!!) or have been affected by it in a positive way to donate what you can, if you can.
Let’s get this done in order to keep vaping as safe as possible.

Thanks all!
Hello pbusardo,
Congratulations! You brought the ‘Electronic cigarette liquids analysis-evaluating potentially harmful ingredients’ team one step further to making their campaign happen!

The Post Review Follow-up:
- 1/14/14 – There’s something I wanted to mention in the thumbs down section but accidentally left it out. Another thumbs down and slight design improvement would be to bevel or slightly round the edge of the switch. Not so much that it reduces stability when standing upright, just enough to make it a little more comfortable to use.
