EHPro Kayfun v4 - Not worth the money

[Garemlin]

What happens if you screw that top nut in really slowly on the EHPro? I have an Eviva-t and it has to be top filled and you have to screw the cap on. As long as I go slow, it doesn't flood.

Doesn't matter how slow you go. There is still no way for the air to escape.

Tap'd from my LG G3

I got my ehpro version a few days ago. I've refilled twice already with no flooding issues. I just close the juice control, fill 'er up, and vape away.

Does your version have a flat spot on the top cap?

 

[roxynoodle]

There isn't on the Eviva either.

Yeah I always prime the wick. But yeah after playing around with it, it does appear to be flooding after I remove the top and screw it back....

Not familiar with that one but I will take your word for it.

Kinda thought it would. You just got lucky the first time.

Not sure if we can just buy that top nut from another company ??

What if you took a dremel to it?

I haven't seen just the top cap for sale. You could use one from another kayfun 4 if you find one though.

Edit - Never mind

I have a bench grinder at work. I plan to add a flat spot to mine.

Thanks, just ordered it and I also sent a msg to ehpro about this.

 

[Marc411]

dimo, try to find a flat nut to thread onto it to de-burr and tap the threading after you grind it.

 

[roxynoodle]

Yep, these are the solutions:

1. Another nut from FT
2. Put on the flat spots and repair the threads
3. Bottom fill through the bell
4. Try going very slowly screwing on the top nut

 

[Marc411]

The bottom fill method works well, I've used it a couple times when I rewick.

 

[Garemlin]

Bottom fill may work. But it takes away from one of the best features of the v4. The ability to top fill.

I think I already mentioned it but I have been in touch with the seller I bought it from. They are going to be contacting EHPro about this to try to find out if they even know they made the error. Or if it was done intentionally how they expect it to work properly.

I'm seeing people seem to be satisfied with the Tobeco. But it seems to require some tinkering to get it to work right as well. Really trying to avoid that because one of the worst parts of that is skimming back through 100's of posts trying to find the cure for a specific issue. I just hate having to spend money on something brand new and then have to tinker or modify to get it to work right.

Who had to tinker with a Tobeco here? I don't remember seeing that.

I believe he is saying that people didn't have to tinker with the Tobeco ricks, unlike the EHPro.

The Tobeco has been solid.

 

[roxynoodle]

Bottom filling works fine. I was doing it because my jc was frozen. I wasn't going to throw it out when there was an easy way around it.

I dunno. All of the different versions are starting to blur. I thought there was something with having to add a shim. And another where the wrong size o-ring was installed but no extras are included. Maybe I am confusing it with another version. Hence my comment about having to skim back through 100's of posts to reference something. LOL
