Gearbest Chat & Discussion Thread
I had a stuck switch on a device I got from them and they were being difficult at first, asking for proof. But as I sent a photo and persisted they came around and sent me a replacement on this $35 mod for free. I think that given the language barrier people with a problem need to make repeated...- Fernand

SvoёMesto KAYFUN 4
I haven't been around here much of late, but just wanted to say that it's because the Kyfun V4 design has basically closed the endless hunt for me. That and titanium wire on an 18650 Mod with Temp Control, like say a 50W KangXin VF Mini, though 25 watts has been more than enough. On the... -
Petition FACEBOOK to remove vaping from tobacco category
Please take a moment to sign here. And tell your friends. It is in fact the confusion that is deliberately sown by 1) implying that vaping COULD have side effects and 2) by categorizing vaping with tobacco that is preventing vaping from making more inroads. Fill in a few fields, click -- Small...- Fernand

Titanium wires
Isn't it fun? The next topic du jour is METALLURGY. For 1000 points, Titanium heat treating is said to require unusually clean conditions. What are the types of contamination that should be guarded against while annealing Titanium alloys? What are possible consequences of contamination in terms... -
Titanium wires
I wonder if @calinbotez got Ti or maybe something else? It's like pink or anythink, you don't really know what you got. Considering the absurd prices Ti wire fetches, it's not surprising if people fake it. I have Ti grade 1 wire from Galllium Source and Spider Silk wire from envyCIG.com a.k.a... -
Titanium wires
I don't get it. Titanium coils don't get so dirty so fast if we remember two things: temperature shouldn''t get crazy, and the juice shouldn't contain too much flavoring. Starting at 100% solvents, no flavoring, no nicotine, and keeping the temperature below Farenheit 450, Ti coils would be... -
Titanium wires
FWIW, I'm not a placebo responder, nor allergic to anything but heavy pollen/dust. Just wanted to report that after using Kanthal A1 wire with no issues for years, not quite as clear as mountain air, but no significant obstruction or tightness, I tried Tempered Nickel 200 wire for TC, and after... -
temp control really that good?
Yes, that's called regulation. My point: if your mod gives you the option, try different initial wattage as well as different target temps, make your own decisions. Titanium wire is much nicer to work with than Nickel. Folklore says don't drive Nickel or Titanium red hot. Better safe than... -
temp control really that good?
Disagree. On the KX50D chip used on the Invader Mini and the Mini VF, the wattage setting is important - it determines the tightness of the feedback loop among other things. You can set the wattage low and never even reach the set temp. Or a little higher and have it smoothly and slower... -
Best Temperature control mod for under $150 (Thats not a DNA 40)
The KangXin Mini VF has been very impressive - at any price - and I'm a techie that's very hard to please. It started when I figured I'd get a cheap one to experiment with until these mods got serious, and I can truthfully say this unit meets all my needs right now, it just works, 1 to 50... -
temp control really that good?
For me it was the rebuildables with the huge clouds. First, with even Kangertech mini pro 2s I couldn't take as much nicotine as with the eGo generation. Then I noticed that the cramps and cold legs/feet were related, and when the rebuildables were paired with Japanese "organic" cotton, I could... -
New Kangxin 50W TC device - Mini VF KX-50D: single 18650; LED torch; USB charge; multiple colours
In all fairness Gearbest suddenly offered me a refund or resend today. Took a while but they must have consulted the marketing group of the Central Party Committee. Good luck in your case. A new one with a seemingly similar chip and a little lower max power, but integral battery for under $30... -
temp control really that good?
I built these two coils a week ago on two Tobeco Kayfun V4 Svoe Mesto clones, using Japanese unprocessed cotton, for my 95% VG 0 nic "Macaroon B" juice. The 5% is PG from flavoring, water, a few drops alcohol. B stands for Banana ;-) The first more densely packed coil is Kanthal 28 AWG with a... -
New Kangxin 50W TC device - Mini VF KX-50D: single 18650; LED torch; USB charge; multiple colours
So I ordered one from eBay. I paid premium as the location was "Blevins, Arkansas, United States". Today I asked where it was, as there was no tracking. They indicated China Post. So this is the new trend? Tell them Americans what they want to hear ? We'll see. I'm kinda miffed. -
temp control really that good?
They vary. The Evic VT as I understand defeats the user wattage setting entirely in TC mode. The Mini VF always works in WC mode but adds the temp limit if in TC mode. I think in time they will recognize coils they can derive a temp on, not by base resistance but by behavior. Give it a pulse... -
temp control really that good?
Drippers are fantastic in TC mode. Usable at last! The KangXin Mini VF works well in Wattage Control. Of course it's the voltage it's really controlling, the amperage results from the coil resistance and then that with voltage determines the wattage. If you turn on TC it continues to work as... -
New Kangxin 50W TC device - Mini VF KX-50D: single 18650; LED torch; USB charge; multiple colours
Frankly, China is a country with a censored past and no foundation of customer relations, let alone concepts like "the customer is right". The rare Chinese company that is making a real effort to earn the overseas orders can get our business. The rest of them, well ... -
New Kangxin 50W TC device - Mini VF KX-50D: single 18650; LED torch; USB charge; multiple colours
The only thing about GearBest is that when I had trouble with a defective whose FIRE button would stay ON and I sent them a photo they were totally unresponsive. I'd say that since chances of getting a lemon are pretty low these days, it might be worth risking if the price is great. For me... -
Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!
After reading this I went downtown to look for a Vape Shop, but all I could find was some weird storefront where they wanted all sort of ID, and signing up, and this and that. By the time I got the Maui I was happy to be out of there. It came in a tiny little jar and I'm not sure it's what your... -
Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!
Just wanted to answer concerns about the Tobeco black finish on the KFv4 clones. Including my own (concerns). A little background: I'm a idiot. I often keep my vape in my lap while driving. I like the black V4 clone atop a black SMPL mech-mod clone, and the stainless V4 atop a stainless SMPL...
