I would say Kayfun v2 from fasttech, the 30$ one that comes with a nano tank replacement aswell.
I've 3 of them and they all perfom flawlessly. Good smooth threadings and good juice channels.

I've nothing to complain about with them. Or well they do need a good cleaning when you get them due some machine oil still on them.
This is the one:
$30.02 Kayfun Lite Plus V2 Style Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5ml) - 1:1 clone / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I must say the reveiws on this grew quickly. When i bought mine it had like 20 reviews total, now it's 260.


Edit:
The infinite Kfl+ V2 current best? looking to get 1 too. Too many to choose lol.

Abit off topic. But holy crap i must have been a big smoker. comparing your banner vs mine. ^^ :O

1 1/2 mostly. :)

I don't know to be honest. I haven't read the discussions about it for quite some time either. i Ordered it the same day it came out.
It comes with a nice black box with a golden svoemeasto logo and text on it. Like a gift box.

I know this picture is bad, my camera is ..... But this is how it looks. (It was made for a vapemail thread so it's an "old" photo)

Edit:

After some reading on FT it seems to be infinite. But i can't assure you it is. But i can say my 3x are realy good.

I first ordered 1 try it out. When i got it, it was so good so i ordered 2 more. And they had the same quality.

I can't speak to the bad experiences other people have reported from Tobeco products but I am currently using a 26650 Kayfun Lite+ by Tobeco and it's fantastic. Holds a MEGA amount of juice and works absolutely fantastic, great threading, easy to use, etc. The one trick I found is that they seem to require a very thorough cleaning before use to remove the excess machine oil (I soak in vodka for hours then scrub with dish soap and rinse well). If you don't clean it the vape is utterly nasty. Hope this helps and happy vaping!

I have the KFL+V2 but havent had any other kayfuns for comparison. I recommend it every chance I get. I dont mind the airflow adjustment on the bottom except for one time where I had it backed out flush with the bottom and it unscrewed itself slightly and caused the atty to catch on the MVP's beauty ring. But that was a pretty random occurrence.

As for the KFL+ vs the 3.1... I believe the only difference is the 3.1 is bigger.

LOL, but WHY is it bigger? Surely you don't think the 3.1 is bigger just to be bigger.

The 3.1 has a little catch container below the coil that catches any juice overflow rather than letting it spill out the air hole. The 3.1 has a side mounted needle valve so you can fill the tank without removing it from your mod. And the 3.1 has a side screw adjustment for the air flow control rather than having the screw on the bottom, again so you don't have to remove the tank from your mod to adjust it. ---- It also supports both screw in and press in drip tips where the KFL+ only has the press in drip tip.


As for who makes the best, I would call it a tie between Hcigar and Ehpro. I've had my Hcigar next to my friends genuine Kayfun and even he couldn't tell the difference, even with close inspection. The parts were interchangeable and fit both the genuine and clone equally.

And for the record, the Russian and Russian 91% are just Kayfun clones. Expensive ones, but they are just clones. The Russian is identical to the 3.1 and the 91% is identical to the KFL+. Their parts are also interchangeable with Russian parts fitting on the Kayfun and visa versa.

I've got an EHpro lite+ and a Hcigar 3.1. The difference between the 2 are the lite+ has both the air flow screw and fill screw on the bottom, the 3.1 has the air screw and fill port on the side, it also has an extra chamber on the bottom to catch any liquid that would normally leak down the side of the lite+ and an adjustable 510 pin. I think they both work well, however, the replacement parts set the 2 apart. The EHpro is NOT really a 1:1, where the Hcigar is... So, I can get parts to fit and work with the Hcigar, and NOT the EHpro. I couldn't choose between the lite+ and 3.1 on which is better, but I would tell you to go with the Hcigar over any other clone simpely for replacement parts you will need eventually.

I bought a 3.1 from fasttech, sku1630300. Not sure on the manufacturer.

It looks really nice, seamless with all ss tank rings.

Downsides are, the fill valve, in the side uses a spring loaded ball bearing, you put needletip bottle against it, apply pressure and squeeze in juice. I found this to be a slow and messy way, not a fan of this design. I resort to top filling, blocking off airholes flipping upside down, releasing airholes and tightening down top. Works OK.

Another fault my 3.1 had was narrow juice channels. I had to drill/dremel them out to get it working right. Works great after this mod.

I've ordered akfun lite now, should be good to go straight out of the box. If recommend you do the same.

That's an interesting point and never thought about it when I purchased mine. Without searching google at this point, aren't there ehpro replacement parts out there? Also may be a stupid question but what parts would need eventual replacing?

I usually top fill my 3.1 as well, although it doesn't have the problem with the side fill valve that yours does. I simply find top filling easier since I don't have to worry about what tip my juice bottle has.

Top filling a KFL+ doesn't work as well though. Those you really need to fill through the hole in the bottom to avoid leaks.


Another fault my 3.1 had was narrow juice channels. I had to drill/dremel them out to get it working right. Works great after this mod.

Again, not a problem on my Hcigar. It's juice channels were perfect right out of the box.

My Tobeco KFL+ though needs the channels dremeled out. It just doesn't feed juice well.


Like I said before, the Hcigar is the closest you'll get to the real thing. Considering you can buy them for about $35 in the US it isn't worth buying something less to try to save a couple of dollars. I'll take an Ebay purchased Hcigar for $35-$40 that I can get in 3-5 days over any fasttech clone that you have to wait weeks for.

When buying a clone, it is a crap shoot, you are at the will of the Quality Control Gods.!!! Don't really matter which one ya get, buy 10 of the same one, no 2 will be the same quality.

Really, stick with an authentic Russian or Kayfun, and you'll never go wrong, sure, one can get like 2 or 3 clones for the same price, but in reality, usually only end up with 1 decent clone.

That said, Hcigar and Infinite have been some of my best clones, but not always 100% with either, My best 2 just happen to be that brand, but own a not quite up to par product from both manufactures also. It's a crap shoot.

My Authentic gear track record is 99% awesome in satisfaction and vape.

Clone track record is like 2 out of 5 prove acceptable to fine, others turn out to be parts.

Must say, prefer the 3.1 and full size Russian over the light's. Much better mounting system and better air flow. Just saying.
