Attack of the (Kayfun Mini V3) Clones!

[KTMRider]

Do you by any chance know where to find a tobeco kf4 at a decent price? I can't seem to find any.

I think they were on closeout everywhere. I've seen some for $20-25 though.

PM me, I still have 3 sealed NIB. Might have to make a for sale thread to make the deal.

There are replacement tanks available on FT. Even color coded if you're into something like that.

Can't wait to get mine. I hope it does come without markings though. How else will I be able to prove I have a clone?

SM came out with bigger tanks.

I'm really tempted by the black one on FT...

I have kayfun mini v3 clone and I have some leaking problem. Mybe someone can resolve this mystery.
With liquid control closed everything is fine. When I open it 1/4, all juice just leaking through air holes. I have two o-rings on there's place (lower o ring was not on his place when arrived, I put him).
Have anybody any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for help.

O-ring that I put is third starting left side.

 

[KTMRider]

Sounds like you have a vacuum leak problem. Check ALL o-rings. Maybe the top nut o-ring or one that seals the chimney?

 

[DP2Raja]

@prle - It sounds like it is not sealing properly and the vacuum is lost when opening the juice flow. Do you have o-rings in each of these locations?

 

[prle]

All o-rings are on they places and visually ok. But that's chinese o-rings. Don't know what else can I check..
All I can think of is that lower o-ring on deck is slightly thinner than this on pictures.
Mybe that is my problem?
Unfortunately I don't have spare to replace. [emoji22]

Is the top o-ring on the base thick enough? Try either a thicker one or put some dental floss under it and see if that helps.

 

[prle]

Tnx @ricks I'll try that, we'll see what happens
EDIT : nope, doesn't help.
.. I think I'll give up..

If it is not the o-rings, maybe the airflow inside is not seated. Access from the bottom. Try shutting it all the way closed and see if the leak is still there. But sure seems to be an o-ring/seal problem for sure.

This Clone is from 3F Pleasantly Surprised with the build quality 8 out of 10 Pretty tight Draw MTL for Sure. Flavour is good
Look & fits nice on a 20 watt Istick. Running 5 wrap spaced 3mm coil @ 1.3 ohms 17 watts with Japanese Cotton, Nice vape
Well worth 14 bucks

build quality 8 out of 10??? What's wrong with it? I ordered from 3F also. Did you compare this one with an authentic?

No I did not! I'm not paying 125.00 for an atty I just wanted to try, Probably wont use too much.
The quality is quite nice threading, tolerances are all pretty good.
I gave it an 8 cause the Glass is a bit chipped on the edge, not the best quality Glass the O rings are not that great either , all ready changed one.
I do have an authentic K-F lite+ and the build quality on it is better than this clone.
Besides, 8 out of 10 is petty good for a 14$ clone. I think

I was just curious. It sounds like a good one and I'm glad I'm getting the same one. I can't wait to see how it compares to the authentic side by side.

 

[Steamer861]

If you get the same one I got , You should be happy with it
I am, for 14 bucks it's a deal It vapes real nice the flavour is what you would expect from a K-F

I see good reviews on Fasttech for these. I got mine from 3F.

Me too they still have E-Packet Shipping to Canada. Way faster than the Slow boat FT use for Canadian shipping now
Mine was shipped on the 2nd of Mar and i got it today 12 days later Not Too Bad

I just ordered some replacement glass from FT for these... Just in case. Now that I will have spares, I won't need them.

I was going to order this Kayfun Mini V3 clone, but then I remembered all the problems I had with it's big brother, the Kayfun V4 clone, that I decided against it. That Kayfun V4 clone that I had was nothing but a gurgling nightmare!

The Mini V3 looks just like (and seems to be another over-engineered design) of the larger V4 that I just couldn't find the courage to buy it.

The Mini v3 was actually designed not to gurgle which was one of the points they addressed when designing it from the complaints of the v4. I think it was because of condensation around the air screw and it gurgled at anything less than wide open. It's a simplified design of the v4. I really like my v4's but the Mini v3 seems like a better design but the smaller capacity bothers me. Worth trying for under $20 but not at $100+.

You may have better luck with this one. A lot less parts. Not many people had problems with the KF4 tho. I know that you had a problem.

I didn't like the small capacity but my curiosity forced me to try them.

Really sorry to hear That! The V4 is quite a step up from the Lite+ IMO
The V4 did seem a little complicated at first, but was Not, Really
It laid the ground work for all the new Top Fill, Juice control/shut off designs
A Big + for this V3 is no spring 2 mils of juice don't last long though
