    Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

    @Vapires, Your descriptions are incredibly vague, so it's very hard to help you. What could "I filled the K4 and it looks all good" possibly mean? I don''t even know what your abbreviations mean to you, please spell everything out. How did you do the build, the coil(s), the wicking, what...

    Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

    My mind is ... where? Can someone help. I have bought all Tobecos so far. I've gotten something like 6 or 7 so far, for family and so on, and every one has been 100%. Now, as a gamble, for a change, I wanted to get one of the big-boxed clones that was praised here as being better machined...

    Not that I would EVER leap to the defense of this Chinese contraption, but, if I may ask, have you ever had a Barbie? Did she have a head? Yeah, you probably overtightened it, a smidge ;-) All joking aside -- ALL JOKING ??? --- anyway, it takes some practice, some compromise. Too loose and it...

    Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

    I'm usually vaping all VG, I make my own, only way to go, 5% flavoring. I use a few drops of 151 rum to cut the viscosity. I try a few drops of PG now and then to see if it boosts the flavor, I'm not sure it really does, and I love the VG clouds. On nicotine, these KF V4 machines put out so...

    Temporary schtemporary, it might work better than a new o-ring. The sizing is always such a problem, a fraction of a mm too fat or too skinny and it's a miss. So check the rubber for nicks first and cut those off with a razor so they don't catch. Then try dental floss under your existing ring...

    Seems he's dropped the SvoeMesto claim? And I love the $2.86 shipping on top of the $100 price. But, hey, all's fair in pricing. I see stuff like, you know, a roll of toilet paper $1000. Why not try?

    Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

    Best way to remember is how you must hold the device by the bottom 510 connector and unscrew D38 to open top and add liquid. That's also the (counterclockwise) direction that A5 must be turned against the base to close off liquid, to block juice from leaking out. Then once you have added juice...

    Yeah but a plain SS shipped for $21.95 no tax is still the shizz. And what IS this game? Like a darwinian lottery. They bump your account or your avatar until you pay them off, and then you're reborn like in a shooter?w

    Seem like an ex-cigar smoker, too. Heck, we save so much money on cigs and stogies, we can even afford Reos! I'm confused. Oy-bay knocked vapeomg's Kayfun V4s out of the sky. But some of his other offerings are still active ?! Including the very cool Tobeco V2 Big Dripper. Press the drip tip...

    Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

    That sure is a beauty. What year was this? I started vaping in late 2010, and the eGo setup was the most practical then. When expensive stuff like Reo appeared, a Vapage VMod was more affordable. The handmods like that Greek thing turned me off, it was way way out of line for a bit of threaded...

    Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

    Of course, I would imagine laser scanning, but is there a specific hardware/software setup that's known? Amigos! look at the secret of the KickButt wicking. I'm going to rewick it, it's getting a bit mungy. But look at how the trimming of the cotton at a slope made all the fibers stand...

    And the whole vaping phenomenon is much safer now. Recent findings with first Gen cartomizers show metal particles in liquid and dangerous nanoparticles in aerosol (vapor). They note sloppy soldering is responsible. The miniaturization of ecig components to resemble cigarettes was a big problem...

    Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

    I suppose anybody could use their name but it sure seems like them. Only details are 1) no free shipping until > $39 2) no feedback system to threaten vendors 3) is PayPal available ? Looks like kavape.com is being rebuilt by chicken tandoori activists.

    Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

    Great pron, there, @capthook! Our Kick .... friend recommends positioning the wicks, then installing the inner chimney, turning counterclockwise until it catches, then clockwise. He says shoving the wicks down into the chimney after it's positioned doesn't allow the required precision. He says...

    Thanks. Pondering what you might disagree with - no diff between what and what? Between your previous builds and the Kick .... combed cotton Martian swamp wick-organ delight? Then, my dear sir, it just shows that your previous builds were epic too ! ALERT! Those running hyenas on e-bay just...

    My wife just came in and said she was in the kitchen and there was all this smoke obscuring the streetlights, she briefly thought the house was on fire. Then she realized what it was, but came down to see if I was still breathing. Holy, I just realized I went through another fill of both...

    OK, I took the time to create two identical Tobeco Keyfun V4 builds according to KickButts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz_xVyCPEug&t=93 The coils are 5 1/2 wraps of 28 gauge Kanthal A1 on a 7/64" drill bit. As Macro coils, they are not heat-fused together, I can see quite distinct wraps...

    Oh, Gak Gawd, no! Have you tried unscrewing the A1 screw at the bottom? - no seriously, an overly tight A1 can totally lock up the KF V4.

    We all have some odd habits. You may remember (or not) that J Edgar Hoover kept bags of his nail clippings and belly button lint in his closet. The closet, no doubt, that he and his "friend" lived in, while persecuting everybody who wasn't up to his standards of red, white and blue. In J...

    Wow that's a lot of RBAs. I had piles of old cartos and broken atties. But the KF V4 strikes me as better than any others i might buy so why bother? I wonder about your collection, no offense intended. Since they're rebuild able you set em aside instead of rewicking, as I recall? But the...
