well, it's loos like Tobeco nailed it :) just came across this vid and thought I would share...

http://youtu.be/zKm12Ed9JYw

Yeah thats my video. So far i have to say, This version of the Kayfun v4 clone is AWESOME! I do not have any other versions of the v4 to compare it to but honestly, I cannot see anywhere that it needs improvement (at the moment)

So far i have ran 2 tanks of juice thru it with 2 different builds and no leaking, no dry hits, no issues at all!

The only thing i need to get use to is the Screwing/Unscrewing of the juice flow.

Other then that though, I am VERY impressed and pleased with the Tobeco and the 30.00 i spent on it.

I will have a full review sometime next week on it.

I ordered 2, one black and one SS. Ordered the black one last night after watching the video.

HD

Copycat :p

I ordered a SS when it first showed up on FT and just ordered a black one last night too. I think there's a secret plan to make me broke on this forum.

SS version showed up in NY so another 3 days or so :D.

Well that did it for me.. Was gonna grab a Magma clone with a Visa gift card I just got last week but looks like Im getting a Magma AND just ordered the Tobeco V4 from Artemus for $21.98 out the door.. Was really tempted to grab the one from CodeVape since West Covina's like an hour from me and it would get here quick, but eh I can wait and save $10 and at least we know the Tobeco one rocks so far from the sound of it!! If CodeVape had a B&M storefront Id probably be on my way there now or just have my dad run over and grab one for me since he lives there hehe..

Thanks for the first look you did :) I have the Robbot Tech version already, and according to tracking I will have the Tobeco version by Friday. Looks really good in your video, so I am stoked. It appears that Tobeco is really knocking it out of the park these days because I have their Aqua V2 clone and I love it so much that I bought the authentic too.

I agree with you about the juice flow control .. so far this is the one aspect of the new Kayfun V4 design that I don't really care for. Getting it adjusted just right is kind of a pain, that is why I much prefer the Aqua V2 so far. Much bigger learning curve with the Kayfun V4, thats for sure.

    Look forward to your Robbot, Tobeco comparison.
    No spare parts or instructions with the Tobeco concerns me.
    Also anyone tried these with Ni200?...

    Got my Robot, and the cheaper version, both from Focal, both were pretty dirty (machine oil) The both are nicely machined, smooth threads, everything fits well, no leaks.

    Only real notable difference is the Robot has a slightly larger bore in the Airflow tube, and the cheaper one is slightly more polished, with a very polished chimney. $10 difference in the price, $21, and $31

    Robot had no spares, less expensive one has a spare spring, and orings, don't really think the Robot was worth the extra $$ but I'm pretty happy with both of them

    Going to experiment with builds in them, but so far the Erlk has them beat for flavor.

    Robot on the right, also cheaper one has sharper/deeper engravings.

    I picked up the Tobeco version today at a local vape store and must say this is the best clone I have ever seen.... EVERYTHING appears to be just like my authentic KF4 so far - even the engraving is identical!

    For those interested in running Ni200, don't bother as the spring will always be the limiting factor on this RTA. Sad to think I could have bought four of these versus one authentic KF4.

    After my clones arrive I shall make up a small sleeve probably using copper tubing, perhaps brass. that is pretty much the length of the spring when the liquid control is all the way open (compressed). This should solve the DNA 40 Ni200 connection issues but will result in having to have the control all the way open or there will be no connection. Will still be able to close liquid control for filling. I never use mine anywhere but all the way open anyway (except for filling). I'm just thinking out loud here BTW
    I suppose I should add that I'll replace the spring with the sleeve.

    I have an original and the juice control really has only 2 settings on or off. You are either supposed to turn it all the way on or all the way off, its really a juice valve, on or off.

    So it looks like the Tobeco version is the one to get so far???

    From a build perspective it seems to be exactly like my authentic KF4. The only thing that ...... me off is the plastic tank that comes with it doesn't work, I think they included the KFL version tank.

    Vaping it now and can not tell the difference...

    Not a bad 30.00 investment :)

    Why is the spring a limiting factor on an NI200 build? I have an original and that is what I was planning on putting on it.

    Why are the threads wrong? you took the extra pieces off right? You know what I mean the piece above the metal insert and below. They both screw off then the plastic tank screws in. I don't mean to ask something you probably already knew. Just thought if you hadn't watched the videos on it
