Damn, all this pimping out talk drove me crazy. Had to go with the red window and tank for the KFL+. Also grabbed a Rocket Science Mods Pyrex drip tip with brushed ss base. I swore I was done.

Got my red M tank piece installed, my Sticker, and waiting on the red window vapemail from Cloud 9...then I be pimpin' like a SvoeBoss! lol

Alright, tell us what you think. Any Cons ? I see all the Pro's.

I also see your a Hybrid adapter user :toast:........and your kayfun is gettin beat up as much as mine :D..... I like folks that use their stuff the way its intended to use it. cases and protector have always bothered me ever since my folks put plastic slip covers on our furniture in 1967. My mom finally removed them about 5 years ago.

I carry my semo(or whatever I'm useing that day)in my shirt pocket,tubes fit better than boxes or side by side tubes so the sticker is a stay at home device.If I take the semo out&about,the sticker comes off.
I had to do a little modding(very little)to make the button line up where I wanted it and a little grinding to remove a small gap between the adapter and the nivel chip brains.No big deal,I hate gaps on my stuff.

My hybrid adapter and semovar had a very small gap between them,I ground just a tiny bit from the bottom threads of the adapter so it would sit flush against the semo.Yes,the semo has a pc of delrin that is adjustable for the depth of the adapter,however,I didn't want to have to really crank it down to remove the gap.It might damage the pos. connection,a little grinding(flat against the grindstone so its not crooked)and viola!,no gap.
Pretty good for a pig,I thought

Well, just got my sticker, and I am stuck. Seemed ok, but when I tried to remove the battery tube, I removed the battery mount from the sticker by mistake. That, was a major mistake. So then I had to totally break the thing down because there was a screw loose in the base. Not sure I put it back together properly - note that even putting it back together improperly is a major hassle - it does not work. Control head throws an E1 then plays dead.

My Semo is back into deal-doh mode and working just fine.

Words of wisdom from those more wise than me?

Alright. Not diggin' the sticker one bit. The concept is pretty simple. Positive path, negative path. Insulators between. Fiddled with it, got it to work with the bottom off. Placed the bottom cap on with the battery still in place, put in one of the screws, which of course shorted things out. A small smoke emission, and the screw burned my finger.

After cussing and spitting, I fiddled some more. No love, no lights. Fiddled some more, it got hot. Need to dig out a my Fluke dmm and check out what is shorting.

And, despite some effort to torque things down, removing the battery tube removes the base which requires complete disassembly.

And, the battery tube is not completely parallel to the nivel/atty tube. You can see of that in pig's pic earlier in the thread.

And, why so many freaking parts? Screws, insulators, brackets, tubes, sleeves, springs, button shaped things.

Not sure whether to fix it or tie it to a cinder block and let it sleep with the fishes.

And, it ain't cheap. Grrr.

I'd take it off your hands. It's the one piece of the Semovar I don't have.

Well it would have been nice if you had said so a few posts earlier. My fault for asking a pig about imported vaping accessories. I knew about teaching a pig to sing... And just to be clear, if the base touches the positive bridge, you get smoke from your battery, then a panic attack that you fried the chip.

I am not giving up. I will fight with it in the morning. I like the idea, but it seems overly complex for what it does. If no love after a sober effort, I will consult my girlfriend at intaste. I think she likes me. Here is hoping that she is not... a pig.

Screws most certainly standard metric. May stop at chateau depot for loctite & insulating washers, and can test the screw size. I will post if so.

And there is no anti-gravity feature. If you throw it on the floor, it just stays there. Trust me. Tested that several times.

Vapin' Bill, are you following this?

Cheers
