I know it had been probably covered, but this is a long thread. Got a flask clone and started the TP ni200 builds a couple of weeks ago. Lemo drop working good but now I want more air flow from my Tobeco kayfun v4's. Ordered a couple of subohm 4s kits from Eccigity. Are these going to make much difference in airflow over stock pin with adjustment screw removed? For those who have tried them, I would appreciate your input. Thank you.

I don't reckon that removing the air screw makes any difference over max air.

The s kit makes a difference, taking air up to 2.7mm. I don't know what increase this represents, but it feels like about 20%. It makes the kayfun feel useable again to me whereas I was getting frustrated before cos of lack of air. The air with the s kit is almost as much as the lemo drop.

I've ordered more s kits, and more kayfuns.

Thanks for the response. I'm looking forward to getting them.

I have been using for the last 3 months an EHPRO clone. Not a problem at all, after the initial wash everything worked as supposed to. No rings change, no leaking, no connection problems. Only smooth vaping on my Provari P3. Have a Tobeco too, which works very well after changing the infamous ring. Will get an Infinite tomorrow so I can compare the 3 of them side by side. So far the EHPRO is the winner for two reasons: 1-working flawlessly out of the box; 2-better machining overall.
My humble opinion for the guys asking about different brands.

Yerba, thanks for posting your experience with the 2 clones you have in hand. I'm going to order a EHpro now they have sorted out the shortcomings because the quality of machining and better O rings. Some tinkering necessary using different tank configurations, O ring change and tight threading issues with the FT Ä" but ordered that in early December because I was keen to try them.

let us know what you make of the infinite when you can.

A few days ago I wanted to change my wick and when I took the tank off I noticed my congestion ring was gone. Not sure how long it has been away, probably 3-5 days, but vaping fine. Just took a look at evcigarettes.com and they have it for $3 with $9.75 international shipping. For a few more dollars I can order a new FT clone and have more spare parts, but since it is vaping well, should I just carry on?

I was silly - bought s kits from FT, before reading user reviews. FT S Kits are simply stock centre posts.

So I did what I should've done in the first place, and ordered Tobeco S Kits locally. These look the business. It'll be a week or so before I fit them, but will report back when I do.

This post is really to warn off anyone thinking of buying a s kit from FastTech.

The Tobeco 4s kit definitely had a bigger bore. Close to a lemo drop draw, but not quite there. Still does ok for lung hits for me.

The FT 316 version came in today. Came in fairly clean, so from the post box to vaping in less than an hour. It is very nice. Juice control works much better than FT version A. Nice machining, but not perfect as there is a small blemish on the mouthpiece. I am very impressed with this clone. If the Tobecco is better than this I need one.
