My Kayfun works flawlessly on my M class. Will not make a connection with my Reuleaux Dna 200. :(

Yep works great on all my SX's. I think that particular DNA has the same 510 as the RX200 so will scratch that off my list of usable. Will try it when I get home in a month. I also have some VTC minis in my Vapocolypse box but I think they will work fine they have a real short 510 have to have a washer with my STM's cause they won't fit flush and wobble. My RX200 they will fit on but they have a really short movement of the 510 I thought for a while it wasn't spring loaded.

The Tobeco KF V5 fits ok on the Vtc mini it has a real slight gap.

Here: 1.0mm CS : The O-Ring Store LLC, We make getting O-Rings easy!
And here: 1.5mm CS : The O-Ring Store LLC, We make getting O-Rings easy!
I suggest putting some 12 x 1 mm in your order as well.
Example: 10 x 1 mm is 10 mm ID and 1 mm cross section.

Odd. An original KAYFUN v5 is 62mm without drop tip. This "MINI" shows on that page as 62mm to top of drip tip. So unless the diagram on the FT site is wrong, I don't see this as a MINI version at all. Opinions?
Mine burns through juice pretty fast at 4ml, I suspect with the glass tank on the mini v5 it will be (guessing) 2.25 ml, still too big with no juice capacity. I probably still want one though but will wait for just the parts as they will come.

I was interested but it's almost the same height. I was hoping SM would make a mini kit, but after 8-8-16, if it's not on the market it may be banned hardware.

Received my original today looks great on my dicodes no6 and far prefer the vape to my Kayfun 4, interesting how pbusardo didn't like his but Grimm green did knowing how they both vape, I'm mouth to lung flavour builder and love the vape the 5 gives me incredibly easy to build,and unlike the two 4s i have had the threading and juice control have been buttery smooth, no jams and no sticking parts. The 4 is the first Kayfun I owned and I wish I got the 5 a year ago.

That's what I thought as soon as I read it was 3ml instead of 4. To be a mini it would have needed to be at least a 2.5ml. Now if they had made it 3ml and made the top cap a little shorter, that would have helped. Like I am on my Tobeco v5, I would then just used this tip without the SS portion that comes with it to further shorten it.

Indeed. Makes no sense to me as it's almost the exactly the same size! No interest here.

I think FT got the specs wrong.. it looks shorter and, if you look close you can see the top cap is shorter as is the drip tip. unless I'm seeing things? I'll be able to let you all know, I ordered one from 3F...
It certainly wouldn't be the first time FT measured wrong.
Both sites are stating 62 mm for the mini, that's 14 mm shorter than the standard's listed height.

Perhaps, but they include a picture with dimensions that I have not seen on any SM sites. And as pointed out above, the juice capacity does not make sense either. Guess we will have to wait until someone wants to take the gamble.

I got my 4 v5 sjmy clones from 3f a few days ago, I hate to say it, but they are for all practical purposes identical to my 2 authentics. I have shown the original and the clone side by side to friends, several chose the sjmy as the real one.
I have no leaking issues, the machining is great, threading is smooth, logo engraving, although slightly different, is nice. I am using with mtl kits I bought along with my authentics. Something to consider about the mtl kits, if you like the largest of the 3 included inserts, it is easy to drill out the smaller 2, and have 3 equal inserts per kit. Or 2 per kit if you need the middle one. Just take them to the lathe and is only a few minute job. The authentic kit fits the sjmy perfectly. Imho, the sjmy is a great clone. I have Tobeco v3m clones too, sjmy seems equal quality.
