Well I ordered two infinite clones from fasttech and one of them didn't any air holes drilled out so I had to place a ticket. The other one is pretty nice. Not any better than my tobeco. The threads are a touch smoother but the air holes on my working one is smaller and I have been getting dry hits left and right. Can't seem to get the wicking right. On my Tobeco, wicking was never an issue. I may just end up using my tobeco almost exclusively. The packaging was nice and I love all the spare parts (main reason why I ordered the infinite). Hopefully it will work better once I figure it's quirks out. If someone is on the fence between the two, I would order the tobeco in my opinion. I may change my mind once it starts working. The juice control on the other hand didn't require any break in like the tobeco. I also got the colored glass tanks and I can confirm the glass is colored and not a film. My smoke tank has swirls in the glass. Hopefully fasttech will get me sorted once the Chinese New Year is over.

I wonder who made the Infinite kayfun 4, doesn't have the typical SXK textured black box. Whoever manufactured it seems to have done a good job from the reviews.
I don't know. It's nicely machined. With these clones though, each one seems to have its own particular quirks. Occasionally, you get lucky and get one without any issues (like my tobeco). It really is a coin flip but still a much better value than the 180 dollar authentic in my opinion. I don't mind spending 28 bucks and having some minor issues but if I spent 180 and I had issues. That would upset me a lot more. The finish on the infinite is more refined in my opinion if that matters. Personally I just care how it vapes. Right now my tobeco wins that battle.

4th build:
2.0mm, 11 wraps, 1.7 ohms, 3/16" strip OJC
Raised the coil of the deck a touch from other builds.
Liking it!
Probably be my 'go to' build.

I had wanted a no logo kayfun 4 clone, but back when I bought them they weren't readily available. Rather than buying another kf4 clone I took a dremel to the codevape one I have:
Not the best results, but now I have a "no logo" clone, heh. If it had turned out better I would do the same to my tobeco, but I think I'll leave it as is.

Maybe now I'll pick up that tobeco aqua v2 I've had my eye on.

You should put something in its place. Like a gem or something???
Have you tried your smoke colored tank? The one I got from fasttech seems a hair to large around. I didn't want to force the thing on, so I'm still using the original glass. It drops right in.

I am not using the smoke one but I am using the green one without any issues. It is a tad large but it doesn't leak when tightened down. Not as well fitting as the original clear tank but it works without issue.

On the FT site some F4's are listed as 23.1, 23.2 and 23.3 mm, maybe some are a little different.
Ok question for all of you.. When you break down your juice control what is ring #7 actually attached to?? Last night for some reason, my #2 Tobeco (which is my perfect one) leaked out of one of the airholes for whatever reason. I took it apart to clean it, and when I did I noticed that part #8 had one of those white rings attached to it. It hit me that perhaps this is why the JC is wobbly and occasionally seizes up on my #1 Tobeco, because its missing.
So I just took apart my #1, and nope, theres no white ring on part #8, but part #7 is is sitting in the bottom of part #5.. Now I cant remember if part #5 in my other Tobeco also had #7 there or not. I may tear it down again later tonight to check but figured Id ask here first.. I just looked at the parts diagram again and the only ring thats supposed to be in there is #7, so did #7 just get attached to part #8 in the working one when I took it apart or is there supposed to be another one of those white plastic rings on #8 as well as #5??? So far the 'bad' Tobeco hasnt seized up yet, but its awfully wobbly and you can even wiggle part 8 side to side a little when you have the deck off it.
Part #9 by the way, looks exactly the same in both Tobecos, so #9 (Revolution anyone?) isnt the culprit there. Im guess that seal is the issue. Just wondering if its supposed to be attached to the inside of #5 or on the bottom of #8???
Man this things got too many parts, I have to look up that stupid diagram each time just to ask a question! Sure vapes great but man I kinda miss the simpler days of the good old KFL, but I aint going back now. I actually put em away in their boxes last night probably to never be seen again hahaha.

I might go farther but not sure of the worth in doing so. I only drilled the center and two side holes.
Edit: So is it more airy? a little bit.
More edit: If I were to do more with this I would shorten both ends by about 1 mm and slot the bottom end in two places to two of the smaller holes. I would also leave out the AF screw, it's still in the end of it not doing much.
I would probably do these thigs to the center pin but I feel something would need to be done with #5 and # 8 first.
Besides I have other things like Subtanks and such.

I've assembled my K4 both ways, I've placed it on the bottom of #8 and I've placed it inside the base of #5. I don't see that it matters. It removes metal to metal contact between #5 and #8 and it ends up in the same spot regardless of which surface you place it on initially during assembly.
When mine wobbles it is because #9 has worked loose.
