Attack of the (Kayfun V5) Clones!

[Lucky333]

27g should be fine. But I DL on all my KF's. I don't have to slipstream air around the dt on the v5 with the air set on 3 or 4. But if I want to tootle I close air down to 1 or 2. 28g is all I use.

I will see how KF performs but for DL I prefere more airy attys. For DL I'm using Avocado 24, Gemini and Cleito120 is on the way. I will try to use KF for MTL mainly, but who knows.
I love DL, but it is too intense for me in most situations, so I'm primary MTL man... though after three beers I'm switching on DL regularly.

Has anyone made a clone of mtl kit for KF V5? It looks very simple, I expected it to appear on FT until know.

It's worth the shot to keep the stylish black look I guess. I'm not too worried about taking it apart and putting it back together again, but I am a little worried about getting all the right o-rings in all the right spots, haha.

I have a couple of complete sets of o-rings for the original K5, those should work right?
Yes the originals will be fine as long as you work out which is the correct size. Lol
My SJMY only needs two turns as well by the way. I used to open it up a lot more but as it happens the logo lines up with the fire-button on the new mod after exactly a turn so I tried it out at two turns on the SMY and it works just fine.

. Yes the originals should be fine if you can work out the sizes lol. I bought 50 of each size seeing as i have a few tanks Size is on each bag and it was only about $16. I plan on sticking with this tank so i am getting prepared to look after it!

If it helps i would recommend trying it without the MTL kit. I only MTL and i find it perfect on the first two settings. Might save you some money.

Is this seeping out of the very bottom or the juice flow holes? The reason i ask is i found when i completely stripped down my 4 tobeco's two of them had the wrong size #5 o ring.It was 5*1.5 mm instead of the correct 7*1.5 mm.I ordered a bunch of the different sizes and have changed them all out.There is a diagram on page 56. I also went up to 11*1 mm on #8 and #11.Now i do not need to turn the jfc anywhere near as much.Not a hint of a leak or a dry hit since.

I never get dry hits, & this is the only time I ever had a leak. I was just not making sure the wick wasn't full of juice.

I certainly will do that. Actually, I like loose draw so probably it will be good for me out of the box.

On the other hand I would like to have opportunity to experiment with mtl kit to get more concentrated airflow over the coil. (ie. Two dots without mtl kit vs Four dots and 1.6mm mtl kit)

Well I took the Tobeco apart entirely. There was much less to it than I expected luckily, it looks so complicated on that exploded drawing with all the parts.

But after a close inspection of the o-rings and their fit I decided to stick to the ones it came with since they all seemed in very good condition and fitted well.

So I put it back together after cleaning out all the juice channels with a wire-brush and it seems to be wicking well now with just two and a bit turns.

I'll put a couple of tanks through it and report back. Might take me a couple of weeks or so though, I don't vape that much, lol

I thought the same before i completely stripped one down.Now after doing all five and changing all o rings it is easy.

Pictures?? Here's my lone, perfectly working black Tobeco.

My black Tobeco is still wicking well since I took it apart, but I have another weird issue that I can't figure out & I'm hoping one of you folks can shed some light on this.

Since I took it apart and put it back together again it is hot, real hot. I have to set it about a 100 degrees Celsius (that's around 200 degrees Fahrenheit) lower to get the same results.

I initially thought I'd messed up my build so I put another coil on it but it still acts the same. I tried SS316 as well as Ti1, makes no difference. It's the same on every mod I put it on as well.

It it possible to put it back together wrong so this would happen? The resistance doesn't fluctuate or anything.

We do have some pretty hot weather here at the moment, heat-wave-ish, could that be messing up the resistance reading perhaps? My ohm meter just died on me but I've tried it on 3 different mods and the resistance I get on those are all within 0,03 ohm from each other.

edit: I kept turning down the resistance via Escribe by 0,02 ohms at the time until I found a value it functioned as it should at at the settings I'm using and it appears to function normal now. Still wondering what caused the faulty reading though, could it be the high temperatures? We're having the hottest September in recorded history over here at the moment.

@OhTheAgony Is this on your SDNA 75? been having the same problem.Working fine then going really hot but my resistance went up and down a bit.Switched back to power mode and it is fine and resistance stays level where it should be.The last few days i have just used power mode.No big deal because i like power mode.Using ss 316L.

It was the same on the SMY as well as on my other mods. My resistance didn't fluctuate though, it just read it wrong. Sounds like you have a different issue like a loose set-screw or another bad connection somewhere.

My issues seems to have resolved itself now that it cooled down a bit though, it must have been the hot weather we've been having. I'll report back if it happens again.

The weird thing is though the resistance stays perfect in power mode so that tells me the connection is fine.It was really hot as well when i had the problems,like 40 C.

There's a setting for the surrounding (room) temperature in the mod tab (escribe). On mine it was set to just to 43,3 degrees C max from the factory. Perhaps you need to adjust that slightly upwards to like 50C to prevent that from happening again.

Just a thougth, I'm no DNA/escribe expert by any means. @KTMRider probably knows if that could be the cause though.

Is the SXK version decent? Or should I grab the sjmy? TIA.

I don't have the sjmy but a love both the Tobeco and the SXK.The sjmy has had really positive reviews as well.

That's not the function of the resistance setting for a mod. You're just covering up a bad connection issue. Either the 510 or the atomizer.

One of the reasons I'm not all that thrilled with the VT75 nano is the 510 isn't as reliable as it should be and not a good design to begin with. I haven't had any issues with it yet but I am leary of it. The 510 on the SMY didn't look all that great either.

Back to your issue, I'd try taking it apart and putting it back together and make sure all the o-rings are in place correctly. I've taken a few of my KF5's fully apart and had no issues with any of them (6 in rotation).

 

[stylemessiah]

Yup theres a few reports of the SMY DNA75 having 510 issues, as in quality and threads breaking off etc..

I would never buy an SMY mod after i saw disley (a friend irl and member here) just have his third replacement SMY SDNA200 die....

My fulled sized clone is a no name from Angelcigs. Its a great tank and no complaints.

My K5 Mini is a SXK and its is a another class. Just wonderfully made.

As an aside replacement glass for the Mini is the same as Crown glass.

Thanks! I have the SXK v3 and its been great!
