Just got my 10 dollar Tobecco, it seems more matte finished unless the 5 monthes of use on my first polished it up, the new one is nice, coiled with 26 guage 3mm, kgd, .7ohm, was aiming for higher , must have used 28 g on the old one, its a keeper, waiting on a 50 watt Smowell from GearBest to go with it

It probably is a matte finish. Ive seen the Tobecos available in SS, black, blue, and a 'matte' SS as well..

My $9.95 tobeco kayfun v4 from vapor range are perfect on inspections havent built one yet they getting cleaned no oil residues but i can smell it so ill be patient. Thread are smooth everything turning properly im very happy so far. Havent checked for leaks thats where i suspect some problems but the machining is way more than i expected. I had a burr ridden choppy thread tank picture in my head while ordering they surprised me this time.

Anyone get one of these yet???
$9.95!!! It says it's a Tobeco... Tobeco Kayfun 4 V4 RBA Rebuildable Atty

I just ordered two from VaporRange.com | Your Online Vape Store. Free US shippping. with free 7 day shipping. I would have paid a few bucks for priority if they'd offered it. They are located in the same area as 101Vape.com and their basic USPS shipping went by truck and obviously stopped off to deliver mail in every little town on the way to GA. It was about 9 or 10 days with no USPS updates after it left California until it hit Atlanta. Then, I got it the next day.

For the $9.99 price its a cheap way to ensure you have parts on hand, if nothing else.

So.... How many did you order? ;)

Just one...:facepalm:

It's all your fault. It's a Kayfun clone--how bad can it be? I hope it's better for a hopeless MTL tootle puffer like myself than my Lemo Drop.

I also just got two Erlkonigins nano (I love this forum :)).

I finally received my Kayfun V4 clone from the Focal Ecig "group buy" last night. I have to say, I am impressed with it. For $13, I did not receive the jenky clone I was expecting. Machining and finish on it is overall very nice. It's a complete and total knockoff, complete with Svoemesto box, parts diagram and security seal. It also included all 3 tank configurations.

I spent a few minutes taking it apart and re-assembling it to familiarize myself with it and get a grasp of how the "juice control" works. The threading on it for the most part is very smooth, with only the juice control ring feeling slightly crunchy at first. After less then a day, even that has smoothed out.

Airflow is better then I expected. As MTL vaper, I find it tighter then I've become accustomed to, but comfortable. I took out the AFC screw and threw it in the parts bag. Flavor is terrific! I put a 26ga, 2.2mm, 1.2Ω build in it and have been vaping it at 20-24 Watts.

This version has the red o-rings, and it seems it has a slight sleep from the #16. It wasn't a problem all of last evening, but after it sat overnight, it weeped a small amount from one of the airholes when I tipped it back to take a vape on it this morning. I've since replaced that seal with an included spare to see if it helps.

I was wondering if someone could suggest a source for a reliable o-ring set for one of these? I think I'm really going to enjoy using this, but would like to replace the seals with some better quality ones.

So very glad to hear Katya!!
I look forward to your thoughts on them.
On the K4, downloading a copy of the parts list is helpful.

Where did you get the Erlk nano?
The Erlk is flawless with a proper wick (fat shoulders, just a tad down channels) - check Q's Erlk thread.

Truth! I put in another order on 5-12, it shipped 5-13 and was here on the 15th. Just outstanding!
