So my Tobeco v4 arrived in today's vape mail (it's soaking as we speak). Anything I should know before I put a build in at and take it for a test drive?
Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

I used some needle nose pliers.
Fill it, and enjoy!
I had to open / close the juice control on mine a couple times because the spring was being a bit finicky causing the resistance to jump all over the place, but since then its been good the last two days.

I would get the Tobeco version. Some people seem to have a few problems but the majority of users say it's been just fine. All I did was clean mine and fill it up with juice and throw a build in it and it's been great. It's pretty finicky at first in terms of knowing exactly how and what order to rotate the parts (for example you can't have the juice control closed and try to take the tank off the build deck - I bent a screwdriver that way) and I wasted a tank or two learning how to operate it, but after about a day or two it's just so easy to use. I was thinking about getting a KFL+, but seeing how quickly I can refill this thing makes me not want to go back to a bottom fill tank. Heck I even filled up my tank while driving to work the other day.
BTW this is my first tank and I've had no problems with it. I do like to tinker and take things apart though. If you do get one, there are a ton of great resources (youtube, this thread, etc) to get you going.
Getting tired of the leaking on both of my tobeco clones, want to try replacing the O-rings. The o-ring store has different materials.... bunaN70, bunaN50, bunaN90, etc.
I know the sizes, but which o-ring material should I order??

Should be any day now Rick, I saw the turtle's .... disappear heading north the next morning.
I am playing with way to many attys at once, but it appears my "sweet" spot for most builds is .9 and ran around 14 watts. It is juice specific I realize and I DIY with some reaching dang near 95% VG. Rayon has been the only thing I have found that can wick consistently.
Stop by here and you will find loads of helpful info and people.

Thanks Rick.
Can't say I've read all 70 pages of this thread ...... whats the floss fix? Using dental floss with the oring? TIA!
A little o-ring info
Buna is synthetic rubber like what tires are made from, Viton is a branded name for buna
The number (eg buna 70) is a rating of hardness, 90 is harder than 70 for example. This is the "Dura" rating
Buna 70 is what we usually see on atties when the o-rings are black but there is black silicoe also.
The red o-rings are usually silicone and 75 duro.
The clear ones are silicone also and soft, no idea what their duro rating is.
I correct line 2, I had "nitrile" instead of "Viton", both buna and Viton are nitrile.

Yeah my first one was a 0.9 and a little too gnarly for me. Back to 1.4/1.5 just like my KFL+'s..
I'm running 1.2 in one & 1.4 in my other .... both flavor & vapor is outstanding - my homebrew juice is 90% VG. The way these tanks suck juice down, can't imagine going any lower ohms, be filling both every 20 minutes 
For what it worth this is my take on it. You can buy a VW Karmann Ghia much cheaper than a Porsche 911, but don't eclectic to judge the performance of the 911 from driving the Karman Ghia. If you buy a clone be happy with what you paid for it. Having watched PBusardo's review on YouTube about dozen times was convincing enough for me. Like many have said, with all the precision parts of the authentic any attempt at an exact duplicate would surly cost much more than the prices the clones are being offered at. My best friend owns and operates Microform, a precision machine shop. The machines cost in the hundreds of thousands each. Add in MR&D, design, testing, labor and quality control, and you have a product that sells itself.
I've read enough clone reviews to see this is not the type of device you manufacturer cheep and expect to have a quality product.
It took me a while searching the Internet across the country, but I finally found one and was satisfied with the inflated price I paid. Should be here tomorrow.
