While I was waiting for my new Kayfun to arrive, this time from Angelcigs so it wasn't a month, I was looking for info on Ivogo who seems to be a new kid on the block. Scads of reviews on the Ivogo mini but not a single one on the Ivogo KFL+. My needs are a bit atypical, my quest is for a boring, absolutely dependable, all stainless device that I can fill up in the morning and vape till I get home and beyond. Just wind a 1.8 ohm coil and change cotton every third fill and get on with life. My other Kayfun, a cheap chromed brass clone of a V3.1ES, met all except the all stainless part, having a plastic section and non-standard threads so I couldn't fix that. So, when I heard of Angelcigs and delivery of a KFL+ clone in less than a month for $25 I gave it a shot. I was a little worried with no reviews and little history. It came today.
First impressions, out of the box, this is a very nice clone. The machining is first rate (and I've worked as a machinist) it appeared flawless and the finishing showed none of the "hurry up" coarseness you get from high feed rates. It is very well done. The threads are good, the seams matched, it's very crisp. I am impressed with this sample of one. I'm not going to describe a Kayfun, but I will mention that it differs from the real deal in that the airflow screw is _not_ in the bottom, but from the side like the 3.1SE. It also doesn't have the deep well for filling, just the flathead screw. I cleaned it up, it did smell of machine oil, and the airflow port is pretty small. I ran a drill bit through the passages as part of the cleaning and made a mental note that I might drill these out a bit after I decide if I like it. I built it with 8 turns of #30 on a #50 drill bit and cotton. Filled it up and it works just like a Kayfun. No muss, no fuss, no leaking, no gurgling, lots of tasty vapor, just what I would expect. Like I say it's a sample size of one, but it's a really good one. The draw was a little tight, but I removed the airflow control screw and it's fine now. I'm pleased. Just thought I would share. I have no relationship with Angelcigs, but I like their business model. Especially the reasonable delivery from a CA warehouse.
