Oh crap I better go check mine! I had assumed it was on its way!!I used cotton thread. About 10". I just got my o-ring order so I'll try that soon but no leaks so far.
My tracking # still shows "pre-shipment"

The reason for the higher price is the only place you can get them is the UK so the shipping is 10Euro
I had mine a few days now FT (2018000) No problems at all This thing is great! good draw, great flavour, no leaks, only thing is the tank is a little smaller, But it's easier to refill. It's a definite improvement over the old KF I want to get another one, not sure if I will get the Infinite (2066200) or the 316 (2069500) ??

It's a definite improvement over the old KF I want to get another one, not sure if I will get the Infinite (2066200) or the 316 (2069500) ??anyone have a suggestion to stop the leaking @ #16 oring? I wrapped dental floss around it, one wrap. any more and it wouldn't fit. but after a few hours my 510 is full of juice still
I put 3 wraps of dental floss under mine and it seems to work. As KururptSenate said, keep it all the way open or all the way closed. With the juice control closed, juice can't escape the tank section so the #16 o ring won't be in liquid. With it all the way open, the deck is screwed all the way down and juice can't really get down far enough to the o-ring.
I haven't had any problems with mine with the 3 wraps of dental floss. I always make sure to turn the Kayfun upside down while operating the juice ring, which minimizes the chance of juice getting to and through the #16 ring.

Mine tracking # is "pre-shipment" as well

let me know how the oring turns out. the one that's on mine is quite small it gets stretched quite a bit. so, i'm thinking one size bigger so it doesn't stretch as much might give me a little more thickness...
Both of mine say scanned January 9th, shipped January 10th. Says it updates in the evening. Maybe nothing happens on weekend and will further update tonight. I'm hoping anyway.

I have the Genuine and Tobeco and the HCigar and both clones are quite good but i would say the Tobecco is closer to the genuine
Finally got my FT type A in!!!

I really hope it's not the case where he still doesn't have them yet and is just sending out tracking numbers to keep us "happy" (or to make refunds more difficult).

Are these from FT???
Got the EHPRo version wicked up...a tad noisy...might still be some water left over from the bath. Vapes nice. Juice control works without having to loosen the 510 pin. Used the Tobeco flat piece and no leaks. Threads are very smooth. We'll see how it does long term. Just for kicks I tried mixing in the Tobeco parts and they all threaded together with no problems. It looks like they are very similar with the exception of the "round" piece. And I did get some spare parts.
Just replaced the o-ring with a 12.1mm x 1.6mm and it's really tight but it works. It enhances the sloppyness of the threads but it works. I think a 12mm x 1.5mm or 11.5mm x 1.6mm would be perfect. I'm still waiting on the FC and Tobeco versions.

Sorry to hear about your thumb. Hope it heals up fast.
Since I've heard good things about CMC/Artemus, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and be a bit more patient but I probably won't be ordering anything else from them.
Just received an ehpro version today. I haven't set it up yet so can't say how good it is but would like to mention a few things I noticed while taking it apart for cleaning. Also not sure about the names of each part so please forgive me for that.
First off is the part that the drip tip goes into that unscrews to a low refilling. It is not squared off a little bit on the threads which if I'm not mistaken is on the original to allow air to escape while screwing it back on.
Second is the nut on the bottom that the positive pin screws into. I see no way of taking it out. It has a insulator going around it that makes it impossible to take out which means I can't take it apart all the way. Hopefully the picture will show up so it can show what I am saying.
Third is the the tightness on the positive pin affects how tight the juice control is. Basically I had to screw it in lightly till it stopped and then a quarter turn and it was good but any tighter and it was very difficult to turn the juice control.
These are the only that I have noticed in the short time I have had (other than it needing a good cleaning). Hopefully these issues won't effect the performance but I am a little concerned about the first issue. Thinking it might lead to leaking but only time will tell. Not to concerned about the other issues as I can live with those.

You can't get it out? Mine just falls out lolJust received an ehpro version today. I haven't set it up yet so can't say how good it is but would like to mention a few things I noticed while taking it apart for cleaning. Also not sure about the names of each part so please forgive me for that.

I just poked that piece through the 510 hole in the back side and it popped out.
As for the JC not turning, make sure your air flow screw isn't backed out. If it is, the 510 pin will hit it and not allow you to turn the ring.

No I even tried taking a pair of pliers to it with no luck. I can't even grab the nut because of the insulator or whatever it is goes all the way around it and to the top of the nut.
