Attack of the (Kayfun V5) Clones!

[Cumulo Vapus]

Got my SXK v5 from FT today, as said in a FT review, there is no SXK logo to be found on part #4. The box is correct, perhaps the next wave of them will have it.
All cleaned and ready to coil (after I figured out how to get it apart). Impressive machining, more later.
Edit: Seems to work well, still learning.......

Some pics would be very appreciated mate.

There's a lot of grumbling going on at the FT forums about the absence of a logo, ....ty o-rings and screws etc.

Seems you can't trust the pics they put up either….Would be good to see pics from an actual buyer.

I'm at work yet, the box and bag of goodies that came with it are at home. The box and the spares are as with the original. This is by far the best kayfun clone I have ever seen. I examined every little hole and found nothing that needed de-burred. I do plan to Dremel the holes on the deck where the wick tails sit, probably just bevel the openings some. The box looks pretty authentic BTW. It has a peak insulator under the positive block.
I'm going to get some drip tips like the one on it for my Bellus'

The holes where the juice passes through the chamber look kind of sloppy but that is not the case, they are quite uniform and identical. part of the reason they look goofy is there is juice between the glass and chamber. When I looked at the photo I then pulled it back apart and examined it with a magnifying glass...LOL
The coil is twisted 28 gauge ss430 with rayon.

Oh, BTW, this is the first time I vaped a Kayfun @ 40 watts.

So I'm assuming the tank itself has no logos on it? Or are they in the opposite side?

(still waiting for mine to SHIP from focal! [emoji35])

I found a review of the SXK version.

I'm having a hard time believing this thing holds 5ml............oh ya 5ml with the metal tank, never mind

 

[nelsonm64]

my SXK should be here this coming week with any luck... looks promising! thanks for the look at it

I found a review of the SXK version.

Interesting that he had a little trouble with one of the deck screws. My SXK KM3 also had inferior deck screws and/or hole threads.

Just ordered the SXK version,my first ever Fasttech purchase. I need to stop reading these threads!

BTW, I don't remember whether this was mentioned... Replacement glass tanks are available at FT.
$4.35 Replacement Glass Tank for Kayfun V5 RTA Atomizers (5-Pack) 5-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
I had a 5 pack ship today.
They are also available in colors, but I don't know if those are colored glass or painted-on colors (as they sometimes are).

I ordered that last week and it just shipped today. My SXK KF5 should be here Wednesday.

Damn, your just a one man comparison show for the KF5 huh? LMAO

Someone needs to step up

I ordered the SXK on 6/3.

 

[Phone Guy]

I just checked my Focal order, I thought I ordered on 6/8 - it was actually 6/7 (9:32am) and still no shipping - just says ORDER PRIORITIZED. I emailed them, and got a Dear John response.... I'm not worried about it, just anxious to try it.

Just got the Tobeco KF5 clone. Done a tank on it. So far it hasn't leaked yet. 30awg, 2.5mm, 6 wraps for 1.8 ohms---the same as on my KFM v3. Everything is smooth and the build seems pretty good. The deck design is so much better than the KFM3. I still like the KFM3 for the istick pico.

Both the KF5 and KFM3 clones are great though. Definitely prefer these clones over other tanks.

Why?!?

I stopped at one...

The Authentic!

I also would have had to stop at one (authentic) as least for a while...I'd be a little short.

I can't afford an authentic
