Kayfun V4 or Orchid V4

[DiscoPotato]

Hi guys, once again I am in need of some major enlightenment as to which one of the two would be the best choice.
After a not so good experience with purchasing a mod online, I finally got the chance to find a newly opened vape shop.
I saw a lot of atomizers on display, and two of them got my attention. The Kayfun V4 and the Orchid V4, both of which are clones.


The store people are kind enough to accommodate my questions and allowed me to see the demo of how the two works.
But I'm still quite not sure as to which one should I purchase, I love atomizers with tank, I personally find it easier to use since I just put in the juice and vape, no need to drip every now and then (no offense to those who love drippers)


Can you please share your thoughts as to what are the PROS and CONS of the Kayfun V4 and the Orchid V4. I intend to use it on my K100 mod since I'm still saving some money to buy myself a good mod. Which of these two works best on a single and dual coil? I've watch some videos on youtube and some reviews mentioned the problem with leaks. I'm totally undecided as to what should I buy, which do you think is better and would work for me on a long run?


This forum and the people in it have thought me a lot and I'm still looking forward to learning more. Thanks guys

Well.....just got done building 2 Kayfun V4's (1 Black, 1 S.S.) So I just tried what you said. Took one of my new Flip V3 Mod and put it on the my K100.....No go....Not long enough to reach the center contact on the K100 and it's not adjustable. Don't know about the Orchid V4. Face it...there's just so many choices now. Built right they're all good in different ways and all give great flavour and nic hit. So.....do like me and start your collection today. What a hobby.

Personally I like the orchids better. They can put out really close to an rda. The kayfun has great flavor but I still lie the orchid better.

check out the Aqua before you spend the money on those 2

I have five Orchids, and my sixth is in the mail. They are made for dual coils, but I use them as single coils. I chain-vape, and they tolerate heat build-up better. I plug the outside air-hole on the unused side with a tiny bit of cotton. I split both ends of the wick, and thread half of the wicks between the posts to the unused side. I tuck a bit of the wicks on the used side under the coil. Clip all four ends off even with the build deck. They work fine. And the price is better.

I have two Kayfun v4s and two Orchid v4s. All very good clones that are machined very well, do not leak, and probably perform just as the authentics do. The jury is still out because the 4s kits are still in the mail, but so far the Kayfuns are not even in the same league in both flavor and vapor production. 0.5 ohm dual coil on an Orchid - Stingray X combo is blowing anything I have tried in the Kayfuns away.

I haven't gotten my hands on the Kayfun v4 yet but I do have a bunch of Orchids including the v4. I do have older Kayfuns but my Orchid v4 is my go to tank. I'm running a 26g 4 wrap dual micro coils with cotton. Makes good clouds and runs very close to my drippers as far as vape production and taste.

 

[djsvapour]

I vote Orchid.

You'd be surprised how many Kayfun V4 clones have already hit the classifieds sections of UK e-cig forums.

Personally, I don't think the two should be compared with each other. They're totally different. If you like restricted airflow for mouth to lung inhales, go for the Kayfun. If you do direct lung inhales, then the Orchid is better. I love the Orchids...I have about 6 of them for some reason... The Orchid is meant for duals coils, the kayfun is meant for single coils. They both provide great flavor but the Orchid wins in vapor production. The Kayfun is probably a little easier to build, but neither are hard.
If you want comparisons, compare the Orchid to the Billow tank or the Silverplay. IMO, both the Billow and the Silverplay win hands down.
I have a nickel build in a K4 on a DNA40 right now and it's great but the vape experience from the kayfun is nothing like that of an Orchid. It's hard to compare those 2.

 

[Asbestos4004]

Oh....and unless your vape shop is different from all the other ones, buy those 2 online. My b&m has the k4 clone for $64 and it's now $19 online...both by tobeco. The orchid is $45 in the stores and $15-20 online. Support your local vape shop all you can, but some things are just ridiculously expensive in stores.

After ready your post I ended up ordering a Silverplay! LOL

HA! Cool! You'll love it. Really nice because you can use all of your kayfun tanks and parts on it. That way, it'll hold close to 4.5 mls instead of 3. Its a great tank.

not sure of your point? That reminds me though, Tobeco seems to make the best orchid clones. There's some real janky ones out there...that fast tech one, who knows?

 

[3mg Meniere]

Not janky. Except some I have, the post screws are waaaay too tight-- since I have been able to free up a + and a - for all of them, it doesn't matter for me. Ten $ is less than $14 to $20.

I gotcha....I got all mine from 101. A friend got a weird one from ft.

$10.96 Orchid V6 Style RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 4.0ml / stainless steel + glass / 22mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping This one is pretty nice. Its glass and holds a bunch of juice. Just throw the airflow adjusting screws away.

 

[3mg Meniere]

Umnnnnn. I wouldn't trust myself with a glass tank (and I don't vape tank-crackers). Looks nice, though.

I do have these in my cart at FT http://www.fasttech.com/products/2047405 Since they don't dump carts, it is functioning as a wish-list.

Kafun V4 is the best on this planet.
