I ordered mine on 1 January. Was sent a shipment notification on 9 January that clearly states an estimated delivery in 1-3 days. I just checked the US Postal website and it still shows in "Pre-Shipment". Grrrrrrrrrrr :mad:

I ordered mine on January 3, after contacting them and being assured of shipment as of the 5th. After numerous follow ups, they sent me the "fake" tracking # on Jan. 10. Since they are based in Atlanta area , where I live, I expected to receive the item by yesterday. When it did not arrive, I contacted them asking them to cancel my order if they have not shipped it and cannot ship it by end of day. Here is their lie:
"Joel, all these dropped to post office box over the week end.
What I need to REPAIR?
I have no power over post office employees, some times they scan first class at destination post office.
Please be patient, it's shipped. "
Upon speaking with USPS, who confirmed that the item had not been submitted, I just called PayPal to freeze and dispute payment. I will order from an Ebay vendor for about the same price, adjusted for GA state tax that Artemus charged me. This has been a horrible experience. I certainly will lodge a complaint with the BBB.

I also ordered another one FT sku 2047200 (black with red o-rings) I'm happy with how the clones came out so I sold my original and bought another clone.
(hope I don't get "hate" PM's)

The truth be told, I have a beer bottle wallet and a champagne brain.

Whoever runs Artemus, might wanna get a new payment method while he's at it.. He's gonna get kicked from Paypal once they realize all these cancelled orders are for ecig products, which is a big no-no..

Maybe his FT order is stuck in customs

Think I'm def going to have to try a higher Ohm build, I was hoping the Kayfun would help me not go through so much juice.
As of now I just filled up the tank for the third time today since getting it at 12 noon, its 5:15 now lol.
What's it at now?? I'm using a twisted 29ga @0.9 ohms and its not killing my diy juice any faster than my 1.6 ohm KFL+ does.. I'm only about halfway through the tank I filled last night and all I've done was sit around and vape all day..

It got a 0.42Ohm dual coil set up on it, running it at 30w on an Ipv3.
And yes its a good vape, great flavor, no dry hits, but its going through juice like an Atlantis lol

Oh damn I can see why haha! I'm pretty much set at 15w on my Vamo (@0.9 that hits exactly 3.7v yay), and have only gone up to 20w with it once. I was shocked I could take the 20w hits with the sub KF4! On my KFLs 20w is like inhaling the fiery winds of hell (30w physically hurts even), but I've never gone below a 1.4 build on those either..

Just curious, how did you fit duals in there?? Doesn't seem like there's enough room in there?? The dual side by side posts are still baffling me as to why they did it like that..

Can you check to see if your in "pre-shipment" status or did actually ship? Mine has been in "pre-shipment" since January 5th. I ordered between Christmas and New Years. It was advertised as not shipping until the 5th so no harm there.

Looks like you are right. The notification came yesterday saying "Custom mods has sent you a package" so I assumed today I would see some activity on the tracking however it simply says status "Electronic Notification" I assume tomorrow not much will have changed. The 4nine that shipped Monday however is moving and will arrive tomorrow. Considering the site says the Kayfun V4 is in stock I assumed it would have shipped however at this point it sounds like they are just printing labels and they really are not in stock. I always had good results in the past with this Vendor so this is all a first for me with them.

Wow! I'm using a twisted 28g, .9 ohm coil and I've gone through two tanks today.

Actually, due to the lower Ohm's I'm guessing, I'm actually running lower voltage than you are. Voltage is 3.46V at 30w on this build.
I got lucky and didnt have to build it, I go to Vapor Range's B&M and they include a free build with any rda/rta purchase in store. so I went ahead and let Jeff build it. He's done a few for me and does really good builds. It's the same build he has on his and he figured I'd like it knowing how I vape.
Right now I cant get the deck to separate from the tank, if I can I'll get a pic of the dual coil set up in it.
I know its very tight working room, he popped the first set of coils on it because they were touching. Dont know I'd be brave enough to build dual on it, and I've been building for about 7mo's.

Guess I'll be the Guinea pig on here and see how the KF4 does sub Ohm with out the 4s kit lol

IPV3 150 Watt Box Mod By Pioneer 4 You / Green Leaf Technology $83 for the PV but the shipping is $9.

Find four more friends that want one and get it for $78 and the shipping is free.

Thanks For the link Marc. That is a great price for that mod. Wish I had 4 friends that were in the market. I am still debating between that, the Segelei 100 watt plus and making a dual 18650 DNA40.

As for my Custom Mod Creations my tracking number has updated...it was accepted at the postal facility in Atlanta today. It has done the first step in a long journey North:)

I see both of mine passed through sort facility in Atlanta Georgia tonight at 8:00. Should see them Saturday or first of next week. By then I should know everything there is about the kayfun v4 from following all the posts.

Yep just got those too. He's still never getting another cent from me. He's been telling people its the post offices fault they havent arrived, yet he JUST took them there tonight.. Shady, a flat out liar, and not very cool to your business patrons. You mean to tell me he dropped all those off LAST WEEK and the Atlanta post office just NOW got around to checking them in?!

Sorry man, my ex's dad (my 'landlord' haha) has been a postman since 74 out here, as bad as USPS is, that's just not the way they work, not even during the Christmas season when they're overwhelmed.. UPS maybe, but not the postal service.
