I have been having problems with this unit since I got it and emailed the place I bought it from a few times. They are going to send out a new one.
Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

I'll be honest that I'm surprised they agreed so quickly to send a new unit instead of thinking that it was something that I was doing wrong. I broke it down twice with the parts breakdown in front of me and made sure everything was tight and put together correctly. When I get the new one I'm going to completely break it down, clean it, and put it back together so I know everything is correct from the beginning. So many people like these that I figured it couldn't be this hard to make it work.
The first tobeco one I got was a lemon. It flooded and leaked no matters what I did. The replacement the vendor sent works perfectly.
I put a Ni200 build in mine this weekend, 8 wraps of twisted 30g on 3mm ID came out to 0.16 ohms. I did the tubbyengineer (Planet of the Vapers) mod of bending the end of the spring a bit to make it smaller where it goes onto the center post.
It's nice to run the KFV4 in all Stainless Steel mode.
ETA: Correction and link to post about the spring.

Hello, HIt! Glad you got one that's working. I only have the Tobeco clone I got on sale and it's been flawless.
Lemons happen...
Enjoy!
I about went nuts trying to get the first one to work. I thought about ordering an oring kit but had just bought it so I talked to the vendor and after a couple conversations they decided to just send a new one.

Thinking I'll also try this method for stable resistance in TC, full metal jacket for the 1st time-super!
Trolldragon, I'd love to read that post on UK Vapers by tubby engineer before attempting this but not having any luck finding the post; do you have a link to it as my search came up blank!
I'm also wondering if this will work with the S kit installed since there is no afc screw?
EDIT: Ok, I found the post on Planet of the Vapes, but not UK Vapers.
Really want to solve the resistance issue so will have to sign up there!

Whilst searching I did find this adapter from Steam Tuners but costs 9 euro + shipping though!!

My bad it was Planet of the Vape and not UK Vapers, sorry.
Original post corrected and updated.
There really is not a whole lot of info, it is basically all there in the first post.
Kayfun 4 - Resistance stabilisation.
I did this part right here.
It will work with the S Kit as well since you are not involving the screw at all.
Much appreciated, I have a good few extra springs so no worries if I happen to mess one up. I'll give it a shot this afternoon.
Quick update. I did this little spring mod on all 3 of my KF4's; very quick and easy. It does stabilize the resistance considerably so, whether you use kanthal or nickel, a harder hitting atty is what I found is the result. Thanks guys for this fix. @TrollDragon @KTMRider @Tubbyengineer
Hi guys, I love my Kayfuns V4 but I couldn't stand that it has so many separate parts in the way of positive connection that could potentially loose connection:
So, I decided to replace them with a single, solid positive center pin:
Loosing these extra parts on the same time:
It looks like this, when assembled:
And to increase an airflow, I made some more:

And you did this w/ a Dremel and jewelers files?
Nice! Really nice work.

So the question is now, where do we buy any of these most excellent upgrades?
