Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

[Marc411]

If I re-wick I'll fill top off the tank through the feed holes in the tank. It works great with most of the suppliers needle tip bottles.

Will the #16 o-ring be the correct size or will it be too small again? I'd love to pick that up if it comes with the correct sizes and works with the Tobeco.

I think $10 shipped gets you like 50 o-rings for the Kayfun from the o-ring store so I'm probably going to do that since I don't want more screwdrivers and prewicked coils.

As you can see I didn't order them for the Orings

Since I have the corrected top cap on the way from EHPro, I decided to go ahead and build my Kayfun v4 and just use a workaround for filling. Man this thing vapes nice. Great flavor and IMO the perfect amount of airflow. Did a 9 wrap of 26g on a 2.4 for a 1.2 ohm coil. I usually use 28g in my RTA's but decided to try something different.

Only bad thing is even after an alcohol soak, a Dawn soak and scrub I am still getting a taste of machine oil. Guess I will break it down and use some Simple Green

Tap'd from my LG G3

Dawn is enough to get the machine oil off. I use really hot tap water and Dawn and I don't have to scrub. I let it sit for a few mins and stir it around a bit before a hot tap water rinse. If you still get machine oil taste, there's 2 places that could cause this, the center post hole and the air chamber between 3 and 8 (most likely place).

I don't think you ordered enough

They sell it smaller too.

But I ordered two of these, it comes with the Teflon rings and more. not there yet but soon I hope.
Kayfun V4 by Tobeco Accessories Kit

I ordered one of those on the 20th also.

I was trying to avoid breaking those parts down. Oh well gotta do what I gotta do.

I managed to get the Fasttech 'A' version working flawlessly by using parts from my 'mystery' version.

I used parts 10 and 11 because the Delrin isn't as tall, the smaller white Teflon O ring because it was slightly thicker, I used the no.16 O ring for the same reason and the tank lock nut (33) because it has flats and is easier to lock.

24 hours later and no gurgles or leaks - it's obviously cost a little more but I've saved $135 on the price of the original so I'm happy, I enjoy tinkering too so it's been fun.

I have been lurking this forum for a few and decided to join. A lot of interesting info. What I did completely by mistake was I reassembled the device and omitted the A7 spacer. All my binding and erratic ohm readings went away. The only thing I noticed was when the juice control is closed there is a slight gap between the airflow ring and the base. No issues other than that which only cosmetic. Now I just have to master my wicking.

Is there a trick to getting the insulator under the 510 pin out??? Doesn't seem like it was meant to take out like on the authentic.

This is what I use, the appropriate size and screwing it it in with fingers only and pull it out.

Wasn't sure if it was even meant to come apart since the clones don't have the hybrid adapter option.

Not coming out. Not gonna force the issue.

 

[dwcraig1]

Cheers dwcraig, ive checked all of them, holes in the chamber are good, but the ones you pictured are odd, they have holes but there is no groove leading to the next ledge, so guessing a bit of a restriction with juice flowing up the holes, gonna have to try and drill them but i only have HSS bits and with a drill bit too small ill probably snap them with a normal hand drill - How did you remove the burrs, the gap is so small i cant fit any tool in there to remove them.

I just scraped them off with an Exacto knife

 

[Juokorow]

I like your find better... Why didn't you show this first. lol

You can also select the 3-pack for $4.

The insulator on my FT clone would not budge no matter what I did to it so I left it in and just didn't boil the bottom piece while cleaning the rest of the atty.

The insulator on the Tobeco comes right out with the 510 pin. No resistance or anything. There's no reason for it to be in there so tight since it's held in place by the 510 pin anyways.

 

[KTMRider]

Which insulator? 2 or 10? You don't have to take out 2 but 10 comes out fairly easily by unscrewing the 510 pin and then pushing it down, pushing out 10 and 11.

Boiling the bushings or o-rings shouldn't be an issue as they're meant to resist much higher temps than 212°F.

Liking my Robottech clone until the juice control froze (open at least) and now I can't get the deck piece off of the tank. WTH!

 

[Kevin littell]

I would suggest Vodka or ever clear for those nasty tasting Atomizers.....


The alchy cuts the oil like a knife.

I have 2 tobecos that seem to be working great with ni200, I want to get the black version but am concerned about the plated 510. Anyone have issues with the black plating affecting ni200 builds?

 

[Monotremata]

I fired my Russian 91% at 30w yesterday too. You aren't alone

Haha yeah I'm sure lots of us have! Couple weeks ago I set my Vamo to 40w just to see what the voltage/amps were and forgot like 2 minutes later when I vaped..

Boy does that hurt on a KFL. Burned my wick in half too!

My tobeco still tastes like an oil put but works well with ni200

How did u clean urs???

I just cleaned with dish soap and sponge, no real special method really. Do you have the black tobeco?
