I used dish soap for the soaking with a tooth brush scrub. Then a nice hot water rinse with a soft towel dry followed with an alcohol wipe. No oil at all...
I boiled the living poo out of mine.... twice. I did this with the insulators in figuring that they have to stand up to much higher temperatures when firing anyway.
And by living poo I mean I boiled the water until it was roiling, dumped the pieces in and then turned off the heat and covered the pot. Let it sit until the water went room temperature (a couple hours) and then repeat.
On one of mine it comes out super easy (too easy really) and on the other it just stays in.
I was talking about #2. So you are saying when you take out the 510 that 10 and 11 should just fall out???
Robbot Tech Kayfun4 version is pretty good. A clear bell cap for it is next on the list

Does it fit the standard kayfun bell cap??? Hrmm I wonder

I've read around that it does, gonna get a few different ones to try.
I have 5 of them and a broken one I'll test it and report back tonight when I'm off work ;-)

Thanks to some suggesting floss, put it under #16 and got through a tank without leaks.
So now I'm back to my original problem, the AFC doesn't seem to do anything. Right now I'm vaping away with it completely closed. My understanding is it should completely shut off like a kfl if completely tightened.
The one thing I didn't take apart in the cleaning is the deck, so I'm surprised I'm having this problem. Does part 15 have anything to do with air flow? Wondering if it somehow shrunk during soaking when cleaning.
If not that, is there anything that could be the culprit with AFC not working?
BTW looks nice on the p3, would an authentic p3 hybrid adapter work with a clone? If not how come they don't clone the adapter.

Hey has anyone been having issues with max VG @ around 17-20 watts or .8-.9 ohms (mechanical) ? i was just wondering if i should try my max VG juices in this gnarly tank?
The reason for hot/boiling water is to get the oil more viscous and easier to lift off the metal. Same with hot tap water rinse. If you let it cool to room temp, it stays put. Dish washing liquid is very tough on grease and oil and better than isopropyl alcohol or simple green, IMO. There's really no need to soak for more than 5-10 mins.
10 and 11 doesn't "fall out" but you can push them out fairly easily, at least on my FT "A" and Tobeco.
So you push them out from the 510 hole??? Or would it be easier to pull them out from the other side??
Sorry, incomplete description on my part. I then took a pipe cleaner and ran it through.
I received my 12 & 12.5 x 1.5 mm o-rings today. I didn't mess with my FT ones but I did remove # 16 from my Tobeco and measure it and low and behold it was 12 x 1.5 mm already.
I replaced it with a 12.5 x 1.5 mm, it went together OK so I just left it on there.

I'm vaping a 70%vg with no issues on the Tobeco. It seems to wick well. I'm at 1.1 ohm and 17.5W.
I got some major leaking with Tobeco KF4 with PC tank and stock O-rings.
However, does not leak at all with glass or SS mid section.
I noticed when I screw on the PC tank, it seems really loose and not really catching the 2 O-rings on top and bottom (#27 and #34) to make a proper seal. It's as if the O-rings are too "skinny" or there's too much space for the O-rings on the PC tank.
Does anyone have similar issues with the PC tank on the Tobeco clone?

I'd say that you have a good understanding of it. You should be able to feel the "drag'" especially if dry once the sealing edge of the tank meets the o-ring.
If there is anyone still having temp protect issues with their KF4 and DNA40 mod KayfunMods put up a video the other day on how to run the KF4 without any spring or any other parts. http://youtu.be/49J6CgP_Rqw
It is more than I would want to try without a spare parts kit laying around, but it is interesting indeed.

I haven't had that problem with my plastic tank. Maybe try lubing the o rings with some juice to see if it'll create a better seal?
