I'm not gonna go back and pull posts and reviews that I am come across over the last week. Honestly I have no reason to make it up. Just because you have a perfect Tobeco does not mean that everybody does. I have seen the negative issues. They are out there. You just aren't really looking because you have a good one. This defending of the Tobeco Kv4 when someone says they have an issue or have seen issues is bordering on fanboy talk. None of them, even the authentic are perfect by a longshot.

I've seen one post about a Tobeco leaking from o-ring 16. That hardly constitutes "many, many" people. There are "many, many" people with perfectly working Tobecos which is why I ordered one and then a 2nd within hours of receiving the first. There are "many, many" that have other versions/brands that have some issues, myself included. Maybe you misread some of these posts and just ASSumed they were Tobecos when they were not.

All 3 of my clones are damn near perfect now. How about you stop making statements exaggerating (non-existent) issues w/o backing them up?

I guess I'm a fanboy then. Kind of like you with your EHPro version even though you got an improperly designed top nut and had to wait to get another one from the vendor. But hey, it's cool if it says EHPro on it, right?

LOL yeah I'm a fanboy. Fanboys don't recommend products now right???

EHPro Kayfun v4 - Not worth the money

That review is posted here, another forum, Reddit and a few FB groups. Even though I am getting the corrected cap I still would not recommend it. Yup I'm a fanboy alright.

Oh so subtle calling me an a55. Real mature.

And I am not making exaggerated statements. You need to step out of your little fairy dreamland and realize this is not the only forum or outlet for feedback and reviews out there. As I said I don't have the time or desire to go back fishing through pages and pages of posts on here and other sites just to prove a point. Then for you to just sit there and find another angle to argue. It would serve absolutely no purpose and honestly I really don't care either way. I'm glad it works for you and others. No one wants a bad device. But bring your head out of the clouds. There are others out there that are actually having issues with them. If I happen to cross paths with them I will send them your way.

Enjoy your Tobeco

I have had my Tobecco for about 2 weeks now. Once I got the wicking right it has been spot on perfect. No runs, no drips, no errors. It pains my to say it because I had a crap Tobecco awhile back and swore I would never Buy another Tobecco. I do like the quality on my Infinite Magma, and was waiting for an Infinite Kayfun V4 to come out but I am not very patient and sprung for the Tobecco.

So, let's let calmer heads prevail and always assume noble intent. Anyone for a pint? :toast:

I guess someone might not like Tobeco??? I bought 2 of these because of all the good reviews. No tinkering at all and very little cleaning of oil residue.

I have the Tobeco as well and it required very little cleaning and Vapes perfectly. The only reason why I would look at another manufacturer is for 316ss.

Thanks!!! I am!! I have a couple of tobeco kayfun lite pluses and they were ok and thus quickly were placed in the drawer and never used much. My kayfun 4 has been flawless.

Will this sure got, um..... interesting :pop:

Guess I'm the only one with tobeco problems. Bought two from 2 different vendors, one came without an o-ring for the upper deck, both weep & need new o-rings which I ordered..

But for the money I paid for such a parts-intensive gadget, I truly expected much worse.

Not a tobeco, ehpro, or whatever fan-boy .... just looking for good info & sharing what i see :)

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, huh?

Whatever.

    After watching that review I'm going to guess it was user error.

    So HE pinches an o-ring and rants about it and give the product a thumbs down??? What a tool. I stopped watching from there.


    Posted the same thing in another thread..... Not only was it admittedly user error, but after he damaged the atomizer he returned it :glare:

    Judging by his build of the KF4, and some of the other reviews by this guy, he isn't the most knowledgeable reviewer on youtube.


    How do you know if you don't have an original? ;)


    He sold his ORIGINAL in the classies, I'd speculate that says quite a lot as to his take on the clones.



    I've got an Infinite on order, I expect it will be like all my other products marketed by Infinite and commonly made by SXK, will be a good high quality clone. In the mean time I'm still quite pleased with my trouble free Tobeco.

    Well, the K4 survived a drop from my desk onto the floor, glass tank and all. Thank god because I really don't want to have to replace a $12 tube.

    The weight of the K4 caused the 510 connection on the IPV Mini to move a bit and it wasn't sitting correctly on top anymore, but some poking and prodding with my tools fixed that right up. Phew.

    here...... where?

    Here in Malaysia from my usual favorite wholesaler. I got my black KF4 for $17. I might get the same price for the Infinite if I am very lucky.... lol. Anyway, I already have 3 KF4s, don't know whether to get the fourth as my TGT2 will be coming from FT this week.

    When I got my Tobeco clone from Ebay one of screws on positive block felt very loose I tried to screw it back in but is spins freely it's like thread is stripped. I ordered new positive block from FT and some o rings because mine leaked a bit and it came without any spare parts whatsoever :-( .Otherwise it works fine
    I don't have Infinite version but my friend has one and he is very happy with it

    I had the sane issue with my first KF4 clone beside the famous #16 o ring problem. The 2 screws on the negative post holes are freely spinning, What I did was, I took a piece of 32 gauge kanthal and put it into the post hole and the problem fixed but I did order from FT the replacement deck though.

    This one https://www.fasttech.com/products/2050300 and according to the tracking, it already arrived here and I am waiting it to be delivered to me within a day or two.

    I have bought two of those, well one was with the plastic tank, not too bad. I have this one arriving this week, https://www.fasttech.com/p/2080500, I hope it's worth the extra $10

    The wick slots are just a bit narrower than on your run of the mill TGT though and the $14 - $15 dollar ones.

    Something on the wild side try a Kanger Sub Tank, Wow
