Authentic Svoemesto Kayfun 5

[Zen Knitter]

I'm heavily leaning for going for it. I just guess I wanted to hear from a person or two and their thoughts. I always knew Steam Tuners was a quality outfit that offered high quality stuff. I think you and Ca confirmed that. CdV is 5 hours ahead of me so I should be able to order it in the morning so they have time to ship tomorrow. I have a feeling it will take a long time to get to the states. Oh well. I can wait.

@Bronze I had ordered a Kfun 5 from CDV just prior to the TPD shutdown. I didn't keep track of the shipping, but was very pleasantly surprised at how quick it was to Calif.

Upon further research, it will cost me $60 (including shipping to US, no VAT) for a K5 nano kit whether I purchase direct from Steam Tuners or thru CDV. I did conversions for both the pound and euro and it comes to the same amount from either vendor (or very close). That's a bit pricey for my tastes. I was thinking $40 shipped would be pushing the limit for a nano kit. $60 is over the top. That's half the price of a brand new K5. This is getting in the territory of finding a different atty. That said, I am using my KM3 on my new JAC Series-B and it's not too bad. Better than I thought. So I'm in no big hurry to make a change.

That does seem a bit pricey. I'll have to look at what it replaces

The chimney, glass, and top cap. They should be able to design it so a top cap isn't needed.

Can someone post some info or links to 3rd party sources for K5 JFC o-rings. I've gone through nearly all from my extras packs to find ones that done cause leaks from the air slots. Anyone have first hand experience using 3rd party JFC o-rings?

I bought a bunch of each o-ring on the atty from the o-ring store.com. Got Buna-N 70 type - work great and I understand are the same material as used by svoemesto. The sizes you need are on the svoemesto website. Was cheap.
