That wobble, I wonder why it's happening. Is the 510 pin too long?
It's the tank section that wobbles on the base, not at the 510. Same design as the KM3. It's barely noticeable but some people have mentioned it. I didn't even notice it until someone mentioned it.

The tank wobble and afc play are minimal issues and doesn't affect the vape.

hmmm, I have the one that's discontinued. I also have a bellus, ill check it out! but you're right, the one that replaced the one I have is a diff diameter apparently? china ;)
I'm ASSuming you guys are talking about the KM3 1.5 and not the KF5?

I wouldn't go by their measurements. They might be measuring from the widest point and not the actual glass.

Thanks. I'm still hoping that one of the clones will come with a smaller air hole than the original. I know that a few KM3 clones have holes 2 mm or smaller (as opposed to SM 2.2 mm). :lol:

What's the size of that hole on your Tobecos, BTW? Did you look? Is it maybe smaller than 3.2 mm? How about the version from Angelcigs?

Yes, we're talking about the new fat(test) KM3 from FT. It went from 22 to 24 mm.

my glass is 22mm x 19mm x 1.5 I just put the bachelor nano and bellus glass in mine and they both fit great! mine was listed as 24mm too but, that's at its thickest spot. the base is 22mm. I have one of the other ones with the tapered top bit coming, sure hope I can find a spare glass :)

this is the one I currently have. I wish they still had them because this thing is spot on! best clone I have owned, virtually perfect...

So much information to process, I was told recently on my thread that a kayfun 3 mini clone would be a good upgrade to my current protank 2 "yes i know im way behind the times". But with the kayfun 5 being out, and all its improvements, im struggling. Is the kf5 really that airy of a draw? For someone who exclusively mtl vapes, would it be better to go the the kf3 plus? That tool i have seen talked about for the kf5 doesnt seem to be out yet, and probably costs and makes it even huger than it already will be lol. Dont mean to hijack, just really trying to make an informed purchase so im not wasting money.

I just opened a new Tobeco to check the size and it is 3.2mm. I don't know about the AC version because it has a build on it and I'm not taking it apart (even for you :p) but it vapes the same as the 3 Tobecos I built.

Yeah, this discussion belongs in the KM3 thread. Try the authentic thread :lol:

So much information to process, I was told recently on my thread that a kayfun 3 mini clone would be a good upgrade to my current protank 2 "yes i know im way behind the times".

The KF5 is more airy than the KM3. Both are much more airy than a Protank but you can adjust the airflow on the KM3 to be about the same. The only con is the 2ml capacity. I have 4 KM3 (gave 2 to my sister) and 4 KF5 (7 still NIB). They're both very good atomizers. You can MTL the KF5 but you just need to get used to not sucking so hard (yeah, sounds dirty).

I thought I would be receiving my SXK v5 from FT today, almost, but I'll have it tomorrow. It's been awhile since I got excited about getting a Kayfun but excited I am about the v5.
Other than the loose draw, it's a really great atomizer. I'm really enjoying the 4 I've built. I'm slowly retiring all my KF4's for KF5's now.

:facepalm: So the clone makers got this one right? :lol: Oh, well.

Yep and yep :D.

I really like the vape from the KF4 but it has design issues. I'm not saying the KF5 is perfect but it's much easier to deal with. The resistance is way more solid, it weighs less and the JC works better and easier. I'm down to 2 KF4's still in rotation though.

I ordered from FT on 6/3 and it was just shipped a couple of days ago. It was supposed to ship 6/15 but it had 2 delays.

There's a few guys that ordered a day after me and still hasn't shipped.

Mine was ordered on 6-2, must have just missed the first wave.
6 days from acceptance to delivery, SF ISC was where it lagged the most.
