Attack of the (Kayfun v4) Clones!

[ThunderDan]

You might want consider a Kanger Subtank mini also.

They really are excellent for the price.

Decided to try my tobeco kf4 with ni200 tonight.

Still adjusting the settings on the dna40 to see where I like it with the kf4. I feel like I need more airflow, especially coming from using a STmini all week, already drilled center post to 2.78mm, but may try hacking it up a bit more.

I did the reverse the AFC grub screw trick to get around the janky spring.

Yeah I've got 2, they're what I use. The v4 was the wife's. She vapes lower wattage with less airflow.

I wrecked it getting it apart. I lost patience and used a vise grip and that was that for Mrs. Dr.'s v4. Microscrewdriver doesn't fit a Tobeco, at least not what I had.

This thing worked flawlessly til I needed to put a new coil in it and couldn't get to the deck. I'm spending a few dollars more to replace it with a Lemo Drop. I liked the Tobeco v4, but I don't want to take the chance of running into the same issue. I will miss the top fill on the v4, but I want something I can take apart and put back together when I need to so I'll live with the bottom fill screw til something better comes along.

Would have got an Erl clone, but this soured me on clone tanks a little and I'll feel better spending a little more on the Lemo Drop.

Kayfun Lite plus. Great vape.

Just a little. Walls that color years ago when I got arrested.

Oh. My bad. I like it, different than any of my other box mods that are mainly black or silver, or some variant of both.

After a couple hours with this ni200 build I've settled in around 20w with 410F temp limit. I'm liking this more than I expected.

Ugh stupid deck on my blue one is stuck and won't unscrew now. Guess its time to get the vise grips out and see how sturdy this finish is!

Oh, Gak Gawd, no! Have you tried unscrewing the A1 screw at the bottom?
- no seriously, an overly tight A1 can totally lock up the KF V4.

Something that can be used to help with all the sticking threads on the K4 clones is a touch of divers silicone on the threads and "O" rings. It is tasteless, and older less. And even higher quality than food grade.

Had the same problems with EHPro Kayfun light+ I bought for my Wife. Many of the Clones are using 303 or 304 stainless right now. It has a known reputation for galling. (near- Self welding). The Gen's are made from 416 stainless. A Very high quality stainless, that is harder, and much less prone to galling. My HCigay 3.1 is in 416ss, but my Tobeco is 303 ss. The Divers Silicone fixed it right up! Smooth as oiled glass now!

Looking forward to the HCigar version of the V-4 being sold here in the States. "IF" it is 416 ss.
Any one know why in heck they are available in Europe and not stocked here in the States?

I completely gave up on my KFv4's leaking through #16... and as a result i stumbled upon the best RTA of my life!

Yes... the full KFv4 chimney and tank fit perfectly on the SilverPlay deck... you don't even need an internal chimney because of how the fit is!

You just use a nice 3mm diameter coil... and a fluffy cotton wick down the full length of the juice channels to the bottom most portion of the deck. NO leaks... completely adjustable airflow (mouth to lung or full dripper-esq open)... dual coils... WITH the KFv4s top filling and access to your build without draining.

I've found my perfect tank... just as i was about to get rid of the Kayfun... this is truly something and i suggest any of you out there with both to try it immediately (or go buy a SilverPlay stat!)

Ok maybe not "perfect"... i still lust over an Ubertoot!

Interesting, I wanted to try the Silverplay any way, been waiting for them to restock. Ubertoot is an interesting one as well, it appears to be a clone of the beta. My Ubertoot clone is supposed to ship in 4 days from Fasttech, not holding my breath though.

Truth be told i'm a HUGE fan of the SilverPlay... Super easy build with a 2-hole positive block, huge airflow, great build quality... but PITA filling with some tanks. I'll have to post up some pictures of my build and wicking as it took a few times to figure out exactly where it would work the best with the vertical juice channels in the KFv4 dropping juice directly onto the cotton.

I was going to order the FT Ubertoot Beta clone (the $32 full kit) as well but i might hold out for the release clone which is supposedly coming right after.

I had $20 in rebate points, so I figured WTH... I decided to buy either the Silverplay, or the Youde Goblin, whichever was in stock first, Goblin was the winner, which I like quite a bit, I'm on the notify list for the Silverplay, hopefully will not have spent my spare cash when it is restocked.

Goblin's not bad at all! But if you enjoy it... you're going to love the SP! Both $ well spent.

Throw them in the freezer for a couple hours before taking vise grips to them and wear rubber gloves. A friend at work keeps having the same issue and I get hers fixed using that method.

False alarm, I forgot the juice control was closed haha. Opened it up and the deck came right off.. Durrrrrr..

No damage I hope??? Did you use any tools before you noticed the closed juice control?

I had seen people do similar with orchids, and in the goblin thread, but your post this morning inspired me to give it a try.
