Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

[Steamer861]

I just broke my FT A version all down to clean and rewick it. Still working perfectly
I ordered one of those Black Infinite one's it's sposto ship in 3 days

I just placed another order with Oringsandmore.com for 12 x 1.5mm and 11 x 1.5mm. I have 12.1 x 1.6mm orings and they're too thick so I sand them down to fit but it's a PITA so I figured I'd just order different sizes to try out.

My black Tobeco is getting a bit slurpy but it looks like it's condensation in the air chamber between (3) and (8). A couple of quick hard puffs and it clears up which is different than the FT and FC problem where there was juice in the chamber. My silver Tobeco is still perfect.

Please keep us updated on the black one

I will IMO you can't go wrong with a Tobeco
I bought the FT infinite one cause the only place I can get a Tobeco is Ebay and shipping is expensive to Canada
All the spares that come with the infinite is a bonus

Please keep us updated on the black one

Got my tobeco spare parts kit today from vaportek. Looks good, but didn't come with a spring, that was a little disappointing, other than that I'm satisfied. Although it would have been nice if tobeco had just included the spare parts to begin with, but whatever.

I decided to drill out the center post on the tobeco now that I have a spare on hand. Drilled it out to 7/64th, which I believe is slightly larger than the 4S kit. I do notice it being slightly more open now, seems like I can do a restrictive lung hit a bit better now.

I'm happy with the results, I may dremel out the bottom a bit tomorrow to see if that opens it up a bit more.


Oh, and I wicked it with a little JOC, and it seems to be wicking fine with 20/80vg. I probably use less than most it sounds like, just enough to have tension through the coil, and sitting just barely on the deck, fluffed up and fanned out.

Got mine also yesterday. Still waiting on these to come. http://www.gearbest.com/electronic-cigarettes/pp_141176.html. These come with springs and a blue screw driver+++. Ordered them Jan 22. Shipped on 26th. Ordered 2 for back-up...

Re: Tobeco parts kit, I just checked to see the size of the o-ring in the bag for #16 and it's 11 x 1.5 mm not 12 x 1.5 mm like came on my Tobeco.
12 x 1.5 mm is what made all four of mine not to leak and the 5th one with the red o-rings I changed it before it had the chance.

For me it doesn't matter, I didn't buy it for the o-rings but for others well ...not too good.

Big difference or just slight??? Contemplating take mine out. Still a little tight for me wide open.

I took mine out and like it better enough that i left it out.

Took the advice of some of the people here in using a little more wicking then i normally do. Cellucotton fanned out to just touch and cover the bottom of the deck. 28g/1.6ohm coil. Going on my first 3 day stretch with no issues. Getting my spare parts kit from Vaportek the other day helped of course (replaced all the orings).

Still not feeling the v4 as the mind blowing experience others claim it to be, but digging the filling feature more now that i'm not getting the random airhole or chamber leaks. better flavor then my Orchid. Have a 4s kit on the way, but doubt i'll be dumping anymore maintenance money into it after that though. Just not worth it for what i'm looking to get out of an at work device.

How you would you specifically compare your own experience to the Lemo anyway?

Should I order some of those 12mm ones for my Tobecos just incase?

The 11 x 1.5 buna n70 o-ring I put on my red o-ring CodeVape KF4 is still working well for me. It fixed the slow leak I was experiencing.

I haven't needed to do anything with my Tobeco o-rings yet.

I have a huge problem with my Kayfun v4. Everything works great but I'm not getting much flavor out of it. I have Kayfun 3.1 and v4. Same setup ( voltage, coil, air flow, juice) but I'm getting much better flavor out of v3.1 than v4. What to do?

My first 3 SS ones had their original #16's replaced with 11 x 1.5's that I ordered and still leaked till I changed them to 12 x 1.5 mm. Just saying.
Oh, not my Tobeco didn't leak either but that's the one I put the 12.5 into to see if it fits

Replaced # 1, 7, 9, 10, 11 from Vaportek's spares kit and now everything is fixed as far as the juice control being too tight when before I tightened #1 it was very hard to spin the juice control and now I can tighten #1 and #9 all the way and J/C moves freely but not wobbly at all.
AND I am back to using the spring , the ohms no longer jump around. Not sure which part did it but it is working better than ever!

Now, as far as the 4s kit from them, I see absolutely no difference in airflow. Waste of money IMO. Just looks like they removed the inner threads for the afc screw. the hole on top of the shaft is identical if not smaller looking than the standard #14 center post.

Can you guys post pictures how you setup coil for best flavor with v4?

(7) being too thick causes the JC ring to not move. You can lightly sand it down to fix the issue. You need (9) and (1) tight to get a good ohm reading. If either loosens, your ohm will jump a lot.

Ni200 build that vapes awesome on my rDNA40. 28g .14Ω, 2.8mm ID.

Kanthal build, also awesome. This was after 4 tanks (16ml). 28g, 1.5Ω, 2.8mm ID.

Using exactly the same setup except 2.0 mm ID, I'm getting less flavor compare to Kayfun v3.1

 

[R1Barlow]

Sure hope I don't jinx anything, but my Tebecos are working great. This was the first try I had with building my own coils. I made a coil that tested 1.8 ohms and used ... cotton cut just like in the videos. No problems at all.

Couple good pics of your build may be helpful, but off the top of my mind height of coil above airflow hole is first thing that comes to mind, then maybe low saturation on the wick, not necessarily dry hits, just not as juicy as it should be.

on the left v3.1 and on the right v4. Like I said for some reason I'm getting better flavor from v3.1

 

[Monotremata]

From the sound of things #9 has probably come loose.

Possibly. I already messed it up the day I got it adjusting the AFC and 510 haha. Tore the whole thing down almost completely last night and once I got it back together all is well. Man that deck/juice control has too many damn parts. I miss my KFLs in regards to that haha..

Is the center pin air hole larger on the v4, it looks like maybe the optional 2.7 mm one?
