Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

[mgmrick]

I don't find this an issue...some may. Just a tiny amount of juice between the two bottom pieces after 5 tank fills. Zero juice on exterior. I find with my vaping style... inhale..exhale..inhale after a couple of tank fills my regular kayfuns and lemo will get a little juice on exterior not so with the tobeco kayfun4

I just finished putting a 9 mil ss shim in the square hole of # 3 for # 8 to .... against creating the necessary clearance for the juice control to be able to rotate freely, and it didn't before but does now. If after tightening #9 screw tight, and I mean tight your liquid control stops turning freely well this is what needs done.
I've done it to 2 of the 3 clones that I bought so far.
The first one was a Amod and this one a FT type A but this last FT type A and the FT type A that I got first are not made by the same factory or at least that's how it appears, lots of differences.

Might that just be some condensation???

Just checked my tracking and it's OUT FOR DELIVERY!!!!

More likely then not, My Tobeco runs dry, except for a bit of condensation, my other two leaked, they leaked to the point of don't lay it on its side or it runs out, gurgling, and resistance fluctuation, which leads to voltage fluctuation. Increased the size of the orings, problem solved.

my robot looks like this too. I chalk it up as condensation... never gets any worse than pictured above

Just leave it.
Does your 510 screw seems too tight or does it just spin when trying to remove it?

Too tight. I haven't tried an impact driver yet, but it is that stuck.

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

That would probably work. I'm surprised Ehpro didn't catch that.

That's what I got and caused slurpy draws and only leaked when I blew into the drip tip. O-ring #16 fixes that leak (and it's a leak, not condensation).

Did you try heating the base? Be careful not to melt the bushings.

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.

Lompoc nice! I spent a few years up in Santa Maria/SLO. Was nice and quiet til about 98/99 until all the big box stores started coming in and taking over heh.

I got my notification last night too at like 11pm I think, go figure after I bought another one on Ebay yesterday morning haha. Oh well I get two days of vape mail next week!! Im really loving my new Magma so lets see how this KF4 stacks up!!

 

[roxynoodle]

No, I haven't tried heat. I also haven't tried involving one of the big, burly neighbors yet. Its a copper pin. One of those guys might strip it.

 

[ricks]

Got it, Looks great and very clean on the outside and no smell of oil. Will take it apart soon to inspect and clean.

 

[markdek]

I got the Fastech so called "A" model; and all is well. There is nothing wrong that I can think of. It perhaps has some moisture in the lower 510 on 1st fill, but nothing since.

 

[dwcraig1]

Oh the wonders of technology, a piece of resized tooth pick, a drop of super glue, a hammer and a Dremel. My deck on #2 no longer has a hole in it. Hopefully FT will just send me another base part rather than return the whole thing, either way it's a go on this one.

Vaportek just listed a pre-order for Tobeco with the sub ohm kit for those interested.

I saw that this morning. however, it doesn't look like a "PEEK" insulator to me?

 

[Monotremata]

Dang the one I bought off ebay left Santa Clarita at like 8 this morning which means it got here around an hour ago if it was on schedule!! ALMOST had it today but now I gotta wait til Monday. i dont think the post office will let me go pick it up this afternoon hehehe..

Man Im dying waiting for this thing!! I gotta into vaping after the KFL and 3.1 were already 'old news' so this is the first time I get to jump in on a new model that just came out!!

Im really loving my new Magma so lets see how this KF4 stacks up!!

I got to do a quick build and vape on a Tobecco today. 28g/1.2 ohm single coil. Initial impression being a fairly simple "yup, it's a Kayfun". No earth shattering difference in vape quality between it and Artemus's Kayfun Lite v2, but i think i'd still want one of my own just for the extras.

Like the Orchid's failed attempt at "replacing the need to drip", it won't get priority over the Magma clone i use when i'm home and sitting at the desk though. Love my Magma

Would you be able to post picture of what it looks like?
