Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

[KTMRider]

I'm going take a guess here that on the original the groove for o-ring 16 on part 17 is not the same depth on the corners as on the straight sections. And on the clones, or at least on some of them the groove is the same depth the whole way around. I no longer have an original or the ability to measure that closely.

Either that or they milled out (5) just a hair too much. Or the o-ring wasn't the right size. Tobeco got it right though because my black version is absolutely perfect.

You have to tip them better, at x-mas...

Pfft. I had to go to the PO for at least half my packages.They're lucky if they get coal

Tobeco is here. Everything seems to work. Getting a bath now.

I gave my younger (now 32) brother coal for xmas a few years back. I cannot remember a time when he gave me a dirtier look or my dad laughed harder.

I dropped one of mine today (good thing I had but the PMMA tank on earlier) from about 3.5 feet with no super serious issues issues off of the bat. I am having a bit of freeze up with the juice control since, but I will just grab the vice grip and see if I am just not holding things firmly enough as everything was good earlier.

I got my replacement parts for the FT version today. This is how I wanted to run this for 2 weeks now. Finally! (And new Cloupor Mini)

Man I want some o rings, in case one of the many in the K4 decides to spring a leak.

 

[terror]

TheKiwi, what sizes did you get?

 

[roxynoodle]

Tobeco gets the Everything works as it should. I put in the SS middle section as I didn't want to crack my glass again if the jc froze up.

You got it bad

 

[TheKiwi]

I got mine from theoringstore

I basically bought every single oring size shown in the k4 parts list, and every single oring size in the erlk chart.

There are minimum number for each size. Some's 5, some is 10.

I bought myself 50x 1mm x 2mm. Those are my fav orings (ha yes I have a favorite oring size)

Side note. It finally dawned on me that the orings #6 and #16 that came with my FT type A was completely wrong, and that's why it was always bleeding at the seams above the air hole ring, and I get some gurgling

Replaced them and it's solid now. Only thing is after replacing with the right #16, juice control is significantly stiffer.

I'm now at 48+ hours with no leakage what so ever using 12 x 1.5 mm for #16

I think you nailed it bang on!

Is there any way you could post the item #s of a list from your kayfun4 order?

if I can't fix it with orings I might follow your lead and go for a tobeco

Hey I have seen you before! Your the guy wearin o-rings on his wrist aren't you?

 

[ThunderDan]

Looks like I'll be placing an order at the o-ring store too, turns out I do seem to have a slow leak. I'm guessing #16 is the main culprit, as its likely the wrong size and it was a bit mangled up from the start.

Oh well, I knew I would need some sooner or later.

OMG o-ring information overload. LOL

So what material should we be using??? And you said you ordered o-rings for the Lemo. Does that included the flat tank o-rings???

Oh nope. Just for the chimney and the 510. Those flat ones I have no clue where.

I also bought BunaN 70 for all. It was the only grade of polymer with 1.0mm cross section, and were not overly stiff. (Based entirely off the descriptions of each material on the website. Some were prone to abrasive damage, some were stiff etc)
