inswva by judging your pick I believe the ready wick will work with that great. I thread a paper clip in mine and then wrap my coil, mount it up in the atty then pull the paper clip out. It leaves just enough room for the flow to happen. The ready wick is a real enjoyable vape and cleans up easy with a dry burn and water rinse if you want.

I have one you can have Cindy. I have moved on to the Big Dripper and the SilverPlay. Me and Gennies just don't work lol

How is the silverplay have you talked about it in another thread you can link me too? I am real interested in getting one of them or a UD Goblin. Still waiting on my Orchid it left Los Angeles two days ago so should not be long now.

Anybody order the Limwell Taifun GT V2? I'm thinking about it but I am already really happy with the GT-S (2mm air hole & AFC) I got from the other place.

Was interested in it until I saw the price :(

Why are the Taifun GT clones always so expensive? For that price, I might as well buy an authentic Lemo, Billow, Silverplay, Fogger, etc. After the reviews of the original, I was keeping my eye out for the clone.

I would like to thank Focal for stocking it in the USA warehouse, however. But it is just a bit spendy for me.

I ordered two Robbot Kayfun V4s, one works perfectly, the second had the tight juice flow control problem some have mentioned. Turns out this unit was missing the larger of the two white plastic o-rings, part number 4 to be exact. So i took part number 4 from the good working unit but unfortunately this did not solve the problem. Also, if i tighten down part 9 and 1 it makes the juice flow control almost impossible to turn.

Eleven is sending me the missing part but i went ahead and ordered the authentic spare parts kit 3 which includes both white plastic o-rings (part 4 and 7) for $7 just to see if they will work with the Robbot clone. After installing both authentic plastic o-rings (4 and 7) the juice flow control on this unit is buttery smooth. I am now also able to fully tighten part 9 and 1.

Nikkit6: i noticed you mentioned you had the juice flow control problem in your review, maybe authentic spare part kit 3 will solve your problem too.

Agreed, i'm very happy with my GT-S clone that already has increased airflow and airflow control so i'm holding off as well. The V2 does look better IMO and has a glass tank but not sure that is worth $30.

Yeah, Limwell sent it to me so I will hopefully get it by the end of the week. I checked tracking but there is no movement yet :( I was so tempted to get the authentic but I am not paying that kind of money unless they can confirm the grade of stainless used. Someone I know sent Smokerstore.de an email to inquire but the last I heard there was no reply.

I almost got the GT-S because of you and your feedback :) Now lets see if my Taifun love can be resurrected :p

And here it is .. the thing that I dislike the most about this atty. Every one is communicating in part #'s. I am not going to memorize the parts of atomizer so I can fix and use it. Every time I go into that Kayfun clone thread it hurts my head .. " Yeah its the #9 and 16 and if you change out the #6 make sure you blah blah blaahhhhh" :glare:

Fa-Q I figured out the quick fix for mine .. use the M Tank only and leave the juice flow permanently open, and bottom fill with a syringe (true story) So I am basically using it like an Aqua V2.

The good news, the Tobeco version that I have yet to use or review has been at least inspected and my JC works perfectly on it. So I expect that to be my perfect Kayfun :laugh: In the meantime, I will continue to love and honor my two very easy to use and vape Aqua V2's :banana:

It is clear that there was a defective batch of Robbot KF4 that have this JC issue however ... my Robbot KF4 does not leak in any manner what so ever, while I keep reading about the leaking FT Kayfun's. I would rather have a stiff JC than a leaking device :glare

It has very muted flavor compared to my fave atty (Infinite Hobo V1), but I sorta expected that. Airflow is awesome, vapor is fantastic. I built it this weekend and have already run 6 or so tanks through it. Trying to find parts to put a quartz nano kit on it. This was my first introduction into the world of Kayfun style atty's and I was thoroughly surprised at how much I liked it. Totally an impulse buy, but I'm quite happy with it.

I've been rocking it on the hana mini 30w I got from FC. Perfect on the go set up that lasts me through the work day. And I can not get it to leak. Winning! :lol:

    Willy .. I so would have given you "best price" :laugh: :lol: Its ok babes, I have racked up about 4 so called "transplant bodies" (two Zero's also) :facepalm: I will use at least one bribe someone into doing a chip transplant for me .. but I kinda need to get some chips first :laugh:

    Let me know how your transplant goes if you do it .. you may be the person I bribe :D

    I'd be happy to do that swap for you, I'll get some pics when I do mine but be fore warned, my photos will not be a wonderful as yours. I use to be into photography years ago, before these damn digital's came along. I had a couple Nikon 35mm cameras, there is nothing like looking through a view finder with a quality lens to get a good photo, I don't know how you guys do it looking at screens, it's something I haven't overcome. I live a hop and skip from Ithaca, Cornell University is located at the top of the hill, I use to moon light going to the frat and sorority houses and take candid photos at the wild parties until the wee hours of the morning. Then we would send a proof sheet with all the pics to the houses, the kids would order the photos they wanted. It was not uncommon to get proof sheets back with photos cut out because someone saw a photo of them drunk or with someone they shouldn't have been and didn't want anyone to see those pics. :laugh: These were some wild parties, a couple of the frat houses were right out of the movie Animal House. I've seen some things man, and some stuff.

    Do you know if they have the logos Nikkita?
    The photos on Focal are the stock Limwell shots but all the logos have been photoshopped (very nicely) out.

    everyone is referring to the exploded view of the kayfun. most come with that little pamphlet and you can find it online pretty easily

    I actually prefer people to reference specifically what they are talking about, otherwise you have eighteen-billion names for the same part and you have to translate what someone is talking about. sure, there are a bunch of parts with the kayfun v4 but if everyone uses the same vernacular less time is wasted

    FC can get a cheaper GT 2 I am sure, but it will not be manufacturer confirmed, and it will not be 1:1, .. So if you all want a cheaper version, email Doris and she will get it. But there will not be any manufacturer confirmed 1:1's for less though. So people just have to decide what they want, confirmed 1:1 or cheaper close enough clones. :)

    Your HIRED! Don't worry about nice pics hun, I am only judgmental when it comes to vapeporn, chip transplant pics not so much. :laugh: But now I still need to get some chips :p I will ... eventually :blush:

    Yes, I know that hun. I have the exploded view featured in my review, but I still don't want to carry on discussions in part #'s though. Which is not a slam to the people having the discussions, its a slam to the creator of this atty who caused it to be a necessity. :glare:

    Hello, peeps!

    I'm going to try not to focus on upcoming tests, etc, and to concentrate on positive things instead. I'm about to get started on my own mods. I'm working out how I want to do the battery as those plastic sleds are pretty cheesy.

    Hey Audrey! Nothing like a positive focus to keep life moving in a healthier direction. Good luck with Roxy Modz too :D

    I'm sure once they make the lite version it will be just as good, if not better. they will probably combine a lot of the superfluous parts, but yea

    Roxy : please tell me that if you're making mods you're not making them out of Hammond enclosures. If you are, please tell me you're at least grinding/sanding them flat. that lean is unbearable
