You need more cotton in that build. More in the wells as well... Length looks good though. I'd suggest a larger I.D. 2.5-3mm coil that will allow more wick. You'll notice a big improvement.
yep, way too little cotton.
And it looks like your coil is sitting too high. That won't affect wicking, but taste.

Ok cheers guys, that build was a tester build, i do normally have a little more in the coil than that, as for height of the coil, its sitting 2mm off the hole (can slip a 2mm bit underneath) as thats what ive heard is better - bigger coils never seem to work out too well for me, but ill give it a try, more cotton and lower coil.
Beside building with a fatter wick, you could immediately try the old "flavor wick" trick. Lay an additional wick on TOP of the coil, with the ends dipping into the wells.
2mm above the air inlet is perfect for the v4 in my opinion with a slightly bigger coil. I started almost touching and moved up until I found a sweet spot with flavor and wicking efficiency. Too close to the hole with a 3mm coil and the amount of wick can lead to minor leaking in the air hole and decrease of airflow when the wick is broken in.
Do you mean that it leaks after the wick hardens, or ?
And has anybody asked why on earth e-bay is restricting e-cig sales?
WHO came up with that and on what grounds?

Hey, everyone. While I'd love to get my hands on an authentic, it's above my pay grade at the moment, so here we are. Not wanting to read all 260~ pages so far...
I've heard a lot of praise for the HCigar one, and the Infinite. Has the community reached a consensus on which clone is the best quality? Thanks again.
Also, can anyone with the Infinite version confirm that it does indeed include the glass tank? This page: http://www.subsonicvapes.com/products/kayfun-v4-infinite-clone seems to indicate that it's plastic, which would be a deal-breaker for me.

HCigar, Infinite are both good ones, Tobeco is good too, and can be had for $20 vs $35-50 for a Hcigar or Infinite. The updated EHPro should be good too from what I've read, haven't tried that one.
Infinite does come with the glass piece included. It also comes with a bell tank piece that most of the clones don't have.

I also have 3 Tobeco V'4s. None of them were more than $22.00, and I have not experienced any problems or had to change any o rings, in the few weeks that I have had them.

I think the Tobeco is the best buy, quite possibly the best clone as well, or equivalent. IMO
Folks love the Tobeco. But some have had issues. All in all it is pretty damn popular and seems to work great. It is the one that most people are gravitating to. The Infinite seems pretty good. The EHPro is nice as long as you get the updated version with the base you can disassemble and the correct top cap.
I wish I could find someone other than subsonicvapes that sells the Infinite version with the bell cap. I won't use a site that doesn't use the secure socket layer (https://) to create your user account. Too bad too because I'd also buy their Infinite 1:1 Le Petit Gros...
Yeah, but is it really too bad? Their prices on the Infinite stuff is pretty high.
Oh, and FT had the infinite kf4 last I looked, not sure if they still do.

I have both the Tobeco and the EHPro and I think the EHPro overall is built better. The movement on the juice control is much better and the seal rings (4 & 7) I believe are manufactured to spec which creates the overall better quality on the base/deck.
Garemlin nailed it, make sure you get the updated version. I had some of the same issues he did with the insulator and counter nut being epoxied into the base. I got the added bonus of a missing o-ring (#36) in the cap which took me a while to figure out. It was leaking from the air holes and I couldn't figure it out until I turned the tank upside-down and it emptied on my desk. Once I got through the hassles it became my preferred K4.
Thanks, everyone. I went ahead and got the Tobeco one. I actually forgot I was using a Tobeco Kayfun Light Black Version 3 or whatever, and I've had no problems with it. Hope I don't get a dud.
v4 looks amazing. Glass tank, no more draining, etc. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
