Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

[Marc411]

Thanks for the links Marc. Funny they want $10 for shipping to Canada. Evolv shipped my USB charger for $1 and vape Dojo sent me a DNA40 board and Ni200 for $7.

Are you guys using silicone o-rings or another type?

Thanks for all the help!

Yep, they rape you with freight whenever they get the chance. It's not like they could just put it in an envelope and toss a couple stamps on it. For what it's worth they hit us up for $5 in the states. It may be worth buying enough to cover some of your other toppers while you are making the purchase, the freight I believe stays the same. I picked up all the sizes for my rta's.

I use the Buna-N 70's with good success. I believe that what most use and they work well.

He refunded my money with no hassle once i filed a paypal claim fwiw. Set me back a week but it's whatever. I'm happy now.

Just received tracking #. 1130 Friday night... lol. Guess I'll get to play Tuesdayish.

 

[Marc411]

Make sure that the holes are clear of burrs ect. on parts # 26 & 17

And don't forget to check piece number 8, a 1/16 mandrel slides in perfect. I just cleared a ton of crap out of all mine in the FT topper. Those will also mess up your flow too.

They charged me $3 for shipping. 4 types of o-rings, 50 ea.

I got mine at 12:07a. Hopefully, I'll get it by Wed (that's how much I trust my PO).

Mine might be here tomorrow. Tracking says its close. Can't wait to take all the pieces apart for inspection and cleaning.

One of my Tobecos is working good. Still have to loosen the 510 pin or the JC to work. The vape and flavor are excellent. No leaking at all. The other Tobeco is, at the moment, spare parts. When you try to close the JC, the entire bottom section comes off in your hand in several parts.The deck has seized up. Who knows.

I did just order an EHPro version from Sweet Vapes. All my other EHPro Kayfuns in the various models I have have been virtually flawless.

The Ehpro version doesn't have the flats on the threads of the top nut so you'll probably get initial flooding from the tank pressure. They had a year to perfect the KFL+ v2 but they screwed this one up. I love my Ehpro KFL+ v2's but won't be buying their KF v4 any time soon.

I'll try the Tobeco "spare" with the flat side and see how that works.

So I received a shipping notice from Custom Mod Creations tonight at 9pm Pacific...here we go!!!

I bought some spares of teflon backup rings i.e #4 & #7. Instead of using the dimensions from the parts breakdown leaflet, the machinist made the perfect fit. Now the small wobbly from the base is gone. Also bought a stiffer spring and the connection is so much better just like backing down the AFC regulator screw.

FastTech just dropped a 316 stainless version.

Instabuy!

Now I have seven days to obsess, discuss, and second guess myself before it goes to packaging.

I just received my 2nd FT type "A" and was going to post a few differences between it and the 1st type "A" (improvements actually) but the I saw this:

If not caught during inspection one could go nuts trying to figure out why it leaks so bad. LOL
Time to start a ticket, I was just about to bathe it but............see the hole?

Edit: I'll go ahead with the rest of what I've discovered with it.
O-rings #16 and 18 fit correctly.
The square section of #8 fits too tight into the square hole of #3, I just about couldn't get it apart after removing the screw #9 but this is an easy fix.
Teflon ring #9 is 40 mil on this one, was 20 mil on the 1st one.
The presentation boxes have a slightly different look, the 1st one is more glossy.
The 1st one came with a copper plated spring installed and a silver one in the bag and the springs for the 2nd one are both silver plated.
Except for the hole drilled all the way through this one is pretty good ("except" LOL)

Edit: After I see what FT is going to do about it I'll probably just fix it and use it till the replacement part or whatever gets here.
Looks to be a pretty easy fix.

That's a total pain in the hole if you pardon the pun.

Would you be able to check if any of the authentic parts are compatible with the clone?
I was going to buy a genuine P3 adapter and it would be nice to find out that it will fit on the FT A clone - didn't get it yet but it'll be here early next week with a bit of luck.

I'll check when I get home from work, in a couple more hours I should have the info.

Not made from 316 steel though - if the factories selling them aren't telling fibs that is.

 

[mgmrick]

Oh that I don't know... I grab a tobeco version off ebay for 25 bucks shipped and as I have stated before it is perfect and I did not have to modify it in anyway

 

[nelsonm64]

My Robbot KF is rather stiff .. I removed the oring under the base and replaced with a slightly thinner one and its better, but still not as smooth as I would like it. I think the machining on one of those two parts may be off, a QC issue. I watched Richard Ng's youtube review of it and his moves perfectly, so I am thinking this has to be QC.

I received my robot K4 yesterday Nikki and, my only issues sofar is the juice valve to, stiff as hell! I managed to loosen it up some but it's still not great....

 

[mgmrick]

Anybody playing with the juice control? Does it make any difference? I don't see the need for my vaping style I am running the juice and air wide open. Just wondered how it's working for others

So I received a shipping notice from Custom Mod Creations tonight at 9pm Pacific...here we go!!!

Finally got my shipping notification from Custom Mods as well. Since we are both on the Central Coast, they should hit our doorsteps about the same time.
