I prefer the Ehpro KFL+ v2. I dont have the Russian but i have the 3.1 and I much prefer the KFL+
Just got a Russian 91% and love it! Haven't tried any of the other KFL clones, but I've heard it's hit and miss.
Sweet! How long have you had the EHpro for? Any negs? Leakage?

best deal?
I have an r91 v2 and an ehpro kfl+ v2. They both work great. One is 90+ dollars and the other is 40 dollars. I will say it seems like you can get a more open air flow on the r91 (compairing stock of each)
The Russian has an adjustable center pin and airflow control on the side. With that said, I just bought 2 adjustable center pins for my KFL + V2s. The new center pins are drilled out for better airflow. My two KFLs sat about .5mm high on my provari. I added a ring to fill the gap, but the adjustable feature would mitigate this.
The only reason I bought the KFL over the Russian was I had read of some Russians leaking. The more I read nowadays, that seems like a non-issue.
As an owner of an authentic KFL+V2 and an EHPRO clone, I can tell you the only difference is in fit and finish. As you might expect, the threading and finish on the authentic tank is much better than the clone. With that said, it isn't $90 better. The EHpro clone would be a good intro to an RBA ($31.88 on Ebay). If you decide that you like it, maybe you'll pick up an authentic later.

Had it about a week. No leaks so far. Only negative is the size of it. I want to get a Nano kit for it. It's the KFL+ V2 that I have.
I wasn't expecting much from the FASTTECH models but after reviewing all the comments and reviews on all the different models they offer and then getting feedback from a few who have the model i was considering i said what the hey .
I can't believe how good it is , it hits exceptionally well and the machining is top notch , super clean and easy to build on , i still can't believe how good it is , deep juice channels , great airflow control and zero leaking , cost me a little over $16.00

Be careful with some of the nano kits. Some wont work with the kfl+ v2. The shortened chimney doesnt make contact with the o-ring of the top cap on some of them.
I have several fastech clones and none of them are as smooth as the Russians that I have. So my vote is go with the Russian.
clones being clones cannot be compared to the auth ones
from the feedback i get from my friends, the fasttech kfl+ is a good variant to use
im using one myself, im thinking of getting the spheroid heron next
I'm using the Tebeco KFL+ clone with a provari and loving it but... it wasn't love at first vape.
So I'll share for what its worth, my thoughts and workarounds:
For starters, its cheap and the reason I went this route was my reluctance to commit $ for my first RB Tank. Previously I used an Aspire Nautilus which kept gunking on me due to the relatively heavy (dark) flavors I like to vape at 60 vg/40 pg. While cheap was nice on the wallet, I noticed the machining of the threads, the size of the post screws and o rings weren't the same quality as I saw on a "real" kayfun. In honesty, these weren't show stoppers, but just being honest... you get what you pay for.
After getting it home and building a microcoil/cotton wick... I began my journey to provanna which is probably typical for all RBs: consistent ohms and proper wicking. My advice to you on this is to hit the you tubes over and over, and... be patient. Eventually you'll "get" it.
Coils for me are 9/10 wraps with 28g on a 2mm screwdriver and I get 1.6 ohms on the money every time (I don't torch the coil before install, just give it one or two squeezes after putting it on the posts and test firing... easy peasy). My provari sweet spot is usually right at 3.4 volts which affords me a full day of vaping on a single 18490.
Wicking was a different animal... too much cotton leads to gurgles/leaks/burnt hits while too little leads to no flavor. So just be prepared to play "The three bears" through your first week until it finally gets easy to pick "just the right amount and length" of cotton. Also be aware that top fill is much easier than the bottom fill screw (particularly if you're out and about) but... there's a learning curve to that also to keep vacuum in the tank so it doesn't flood and how to recover quickly if it does.
Finally, for me the draw was too tight, especially since I tend to lung hit like a dripper. I don't think this is limited to this particular clone, seems to be part of the Kayfun/Russian design. To address this, I ended up disassembling and drilling the side air hole out to 3/32. Additionally I bored the center hole "chimney" (between the posts) to 5/64. As a final step, I chamfered the side air hole on the chimney piece inside hole and the outside hole to eliminate the annoying whistle I noticed when I was vaping. This sounds really complicated but search for the two you tubes that cover this and you'll find it takes all of 20 minutes start to finish, and... my dog will thank you for killing the whistle

I have a hcigar and ehpro kf. Both work great although the ehpro was a bit tough on the threading at first. No biggie to me though.
I have a KFL+ and a R91, both are amazing vapes. Great flavor compared to the Aerotanks and Nautilus I was using before (especially with the latest bad batch of Nautilus coils, which was what inspired me to get the KFL+ to begin with).
I will say the bottom screw on the KFL+ inspires more confidence than the R91’s. That said, I’ve not had anything leak out of either of them.

They sure liken them on Fasttech now that's where I am getting them. Russian 91% grey and black then V2 Kayfun clones of course. V2 is rated Highest there.
