Built, rebuilt, replaced o rings. Inspected them under a bright light. No clue.

FWIW, mine was missing #21 oring. Would leak if i held it upside down which gave me the hint of the shaft and top cap, but it also emptied 3/4 tank upright, twice too. Since i added the oring it has been good. Not a single leak.

I suspect those 3rd party air reducer will be showing up soon, until then a piece of ss mesh rolled into a tube shape and placed into the air outlet should be a reasonable fix till then.
It has worked for me.
But I also splurged this weekend and ordered a set from Origin.
I'm surprised they haven't shown up yet on FT.

I've been vaping on my Eycotech clone like a crazy person for the last 3 days, I love it, no leaks, no faulty o-rings. I once got a huge drop of juice go into my mouth but it was probably too many turns on the JFC. Now I have to get an original.

I'm an experienced user and lover of the KF v4. I've been lurking and watching all of you and learning about the V5 clones. Can you , or have you rated the V5 clones and where to buy? Tobecco is my favorite V4 clone.
While we wait for @KTMRider, I think he has the most variety of clones.
3fvape has 3 clone manufacturers. I believe & I ordered a ss one from SJMY
Search - 3FVape
I think from 3fvape the order goes like this, SJMY, SXK.
Others have been very happy with FT, SXK no logo one. Look back some pages for the link.
A lot of is ordered this weekend the Tobeco versions from Eciggity but I think they are sold out.

I'm very happy with my SJMY clone. However I was getting a little condensation on the outside, around the airflow and JFC seam. I figured it was my style of vaping (sort of puffing like a pipe, so some vapour is undoubtedly coming out of the airholes), plus something to do with my wicking. But, after someone mentioned the O-rings here, I picked up a set of authentic replacements, and I'm happy to report that has totally gone away, and turning the JFC has a much nicer feel to it!
 
I have 2 kayfun v5 legit versions ....just got 2 tobeco clones(black and stainless steel) that I ordered from eciggity. So far that i can tell they are very good clones the only differences i see is the deck screws on tobeco are definitely cheaper and not very good compared to original ...also the engraved logo is darker on tobeco from original (no big deal) and last difference I see is the drip tip on the original is a very tight fit but sits flush on top cap ....the tobeco one is kind of loose and doesn't sit to flush .....but built the tobecos and they vaping great can't really tell any difference in vape quality or air flow ...no leaking yet but it's still early .....so far so good

Got mine today from Eciggity as well, everything is great, pretty much what I'd expect from Tobeco, including the drip tip.

I get that on my authentic around the bottom between the part that comes out when you remove the 510 pin and the housing after about 60ml of juice. If I could remember to let my finger off the fire button before I stop vaping I think the problem would be solved. Part #3 and #4
