Preordered a couple of the EHPRO clones on eBay. We'll see how the work come January.
Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

This apparent before-they-even-get-here "Better than the TOBECO version" marketing strategy i've seen many vendors using to pimp their other/unnamed versions is making me want to hold out for Tobeco.
Probably pull the trigger on an in-stock black one when i see it.
My FT version should be here sometime next week. If it's ok, I'll probably pick up a EHPro version, most likely in black. If I get blown away by it, I'll probably order an authentic. Right now, I have 5 KF clones and 3 of them are EHPros and they're pretty awesome.
Can't say it is fact, but from what I've read/heard the Robot tech, Eyecotech, and Easter are supposed to be the top clones. Toadbeco has really upped quality in the last year or so though, I've been pretty impressed with everything I've purchased after the kayfun Mini, which was a bit of a fail.
EHpro stuff I've had has been hit & Miss, 3.1 clone was OK, but needed mods to run right, lite+ was pretty decent Taifun GS fail. My Robot hit Minneapolis, hoping its in the morning mail, but knowing them it will be Friday. Probably going to order one from Eyeco, and Shenzen Easter if I like how they work, once the dust settles, and pricing/sales drop, probably grab a Toad as well.
Edit, less expensive KF4 clone just hit Minneapolis as well, fingers crossed for one of them in the AM!

I thought my Infinite KFL+ v2 was IT til I got my EHPro. I can't really use the Infinite now its got such a tight draw and small bore driptip. Not bad with my PT2 drip tip though..
Yep. I have 2 Infinites (3.1 and KFL+ v2) and once I got an Ehpro v2, I ordered a 2nd one. My first KFL+ was an Ehpro (v1).
Ehpro has such a following with kayfun clones, deservedly so, I'm surprised there are not clones of Ehpro clones. Sounds rediculous, but I'm serious.
Correct, from what ive seen the Robbot and Eyco are the two I want.
Ahhh I get it! Some collect originals and some collect clones. In the end the clone collectors have to collect more stuff (versions).
I'm not a collector.
As I see it the K4 is priced on the high side though not unreasonable given the amount of parts and machining required.
The K4clones are priced really really low given the amount of parts and machining required.
Interesting to see how this turns out.

Not really. After getting the rDNA 40, I needed more atomizers for ni200 builds so I ordered a Ehpro KFL+ v2 and Infinite KFL+v2. I like the Ehpro version so much, I ordered a 2nd one. I have enough now but wanted to try out the KF v4 to see if I like it.
I bet you are a lot of fun at parties too!
And you have enough cases for what 25 more DNAs.
You need more atties!

I only have 8 cases
I actually had to take a step back and see how many I really need. 1 Red box is working fine other than the phantom wake up every once in a while but otherwise working fine so I'll leave that alone. The Mini clone has a delay from sleep to fire and I hate that but love the little box so that will get a DNA 40. I have 2 VT 510's installed in 2 other boxes so I'll upgrade those too. Or move one of the 510's to the orange one and have a blue and orange DNA 40. I think I'll try enlarging the display opening on one to fit the large screen DNA 40. So that leaves me with 4 that I won't be using since I only have 2 hands
. Reminds me of a funny story... My friend asked me why I have so many motorcycles when I only have one .....
Not really as well, I use all of my gear, I'll weed out the best two or 3, and keep the others until I find someone who needs one. Typically If I like something well enough I'll buy an authentic on the second-hand market, but right now I just can't see this thing being that much better then an Erl, and two or three others I give my top shelf to, especially considering the price of it.
This fellow has a problem with the nut that holds the bottom part of the liquid control piece into the 510 base. On my original this nut was really tight. On this one if the nut is tightened the two pieces can not spin freely, this is something to be looking for on the clones. Hopefully this is not a wide spread problem. Anyway here is the video, kind of hard to watch maybe.
Mine from them has tracking, I bought it from their Ebay store. I've dealt with them before, good seller.
Same. Mine is supposed to deliver today..... to the place where I am supposed to be in a week. CodeVape shipped really early so I still have to wait.
well, it's loos like Tobeco nailed it just came across this vid and thought I would share...

Similar accent to me - funny review.
These clones seem to be all good for the most part.
