Dicodes mods and Kayfun RTA's

[GeorgeS]

Greetings,

while one of my favorite combo's is my Dani 25 and a kayfun 25 squared I've been having difficulty replicating it. (all I use is TC mode)

Namely, I've purchased other Dicodes mods and more kayfun 25's and now have 3 Kayfun 25's (and a few v4's I have laying around built up) that will not read resistance reliably or consistently on my Dicodes mods. (I have Dani 25, Dani 21700 and #6)

One example is a RTA that reads 0.12 ohms on my ohm reader, 0.15 on a eleaf Pico and 0.22 ohms on the Dicodes. Ok, fair enough - different mods read resistance different. While it vaped ok for a while I started getting dead hits - or no hit at all. Look at the screen and it had 9 OHMS! OMG!

It needs to be said that all these RTA's work fine on non-Dicodes mods.

My two Dicodes #6's have had Lemo2's on them for years without issue. Pull the Lemo2 off one and replace it with a Kayfun 25 squared and all I have is issues.

I'm thinking that the 510 pin length of the Kayfun's is marginal for Dicodes mods.

Anyone else having issues with Kayfuns and Dicodes mods?

Thanks,

George.

It's an interesting problem @GeorgeS, have you tried completely disassembling one of the offending Kayfun's and cleaned it thoroughly before reassebling. It would be my first thought.

If the worst comes to the worst though, you could try an Atmizoo Tripod. Wether it be genuine or clone.

 

[GeorgeS]

Three of the 5 offending Kayfuns are brand new, all 5 work as expected on other brand mods.

 

[Mordacai]

It has to be something to do with the connection they're making with the Dicodes mod then, which is weird as they're marketed together usually. So it seems as though it may be an issue that cannot be resolved.

I'd deffinitely now say that the Atmizoo Tripod is well worth a look at, at least. It's the only RTA that has left Jai Haze speechless, and that's a feat in itself.

But I've no ideas on if you'll encounter the same issue, but you can always email Atmizoo and ask about if they would be compatable. I've heard that their customer service is excellent and they seem like decent folks.

 

[GeorgeS]

Looks like the Atmizoo Tripod is a no-go. Only 2ml tank capacity and >$100 price tag.

No thanks.

[Mordacai]

Ulton do a decent 1:1 clone of the Tripod for a fraction of the price @GeorgeS, but they only seem to be stocked at Fasttech and 2Fdeal.

2Fdeal has the listing for the Tripod with enhanced capacity kit though.

But the genuine has an extended capacity kit which is bought separately and an interesting MTL style drip tip.

 

[GeorgeS]

I have dozens of other tanks to use, I'm not looking for a new tank. (I know Lemo2's work and I have 1/2 dozen of them)

I was looking for OTHERS that have Kayfuns and are using Dicodes mods and if they are having issues as well.

Have you tried contacting the Dicodes folks? They also list and sell the Kayfun 25 squared, so I am certain it works with their Dani mods. Svoemesto

Here is their Support contact page: Home of dicodes and vaporjack (en)

I don't have a Dani (yet, working on it) but I know the settings run very deep from looking at their user manuals. Just a thought, but perhaps a setting was changed. Maybe restore one of your Dani's to the factory defaults and try again.

Another thought is to ask in the Dani mini box thread. There are a lot of pretty experienced Dani lovers there.

I'm confident you don't need any other tank. In the authentic Kayfun lite 2019 thread there are a few folks using them with Dani's. I know some of those own different Kayfun's they use with a Dani as well.

I've contacted the seller "Creame De Vape" in England. (where I bought both)

I have a handful of Kayfun's and Dicodes mods that have been in service for years. Just not together.

 

[ShowMeTwice]

I have Kayfun's but no Dani's. About ready to pop for a Dani mini box as most everyone here are very pleased with theirs.

I have two #6's that have been in service for years that I'm quite happy with along with 2 21700 tube mods and two 21700 box mods. (6 Dicodes mods total)

The Dani Mini is very popular with the 18650 crowd.

Dicodes makes a fine product.

 

[Nailz]

I have the normal dani box and the mini and use 5 different kayfun primes on them and have no problems with them.

 

[GeorgeS]

I ordered a Taifun IV (25mm) clone to try out.

I ordered a Taifun IV (25mm) clone to try out.

Which clone did you order? I'm looking to get one for my Mini 21700

 

[Mordacai]

Ulton do a GT IV and GT IV S @ShowerHead, they also do an open and MTL positive pole for the GT IV. Which unfortunately I have no idea of whether it will work with the GT IV S, but if it does it would open up options for folks.

I have a couple of the Ulton GT IV clones and they're very good quality (materials and machining). The only things that are complaints or issues are no glass for the tank, o rings are of dubious quality and the deck screws are not great quality.

But a pack of decent M2.5 × 4mm stainless grub screws fix the deck screws issue and o rings can always be replaced over time.

But when I got mine, they needed a deep clean due to being contaminated with machining oil. It was everywhere.

ShenRay Taifun GT4 RTA

 

[GeorgeS]

Here's a image of the GT4 clone atop the Dicodes. While I don't like the drip tip on this tank, the combo looks like they are made for each other:

adjustable juice and air flow, easy to build deck, inexpensive, looks good on my Dicodes tube mod. Whats not to like?

[Mordacai]

Are you getting good results with TC?

And are there any 510 drip tips that you like? As you can use them with the GT IV.

I do know that Ulton do a clone of the Taifun nugget drip tip, but don't know if that would be of any interest to you.

 

[Vinnybagodoughnuts]

Have you tried gently lifting up on the 510 pin of the mod? I have had a problem after using some tanks with longer 510's pushing down the pin and it not popping back up to make contact with atties with a shorter 510.
