KAYFUN LITE ATOMIZER CLONE, BLACK RUSSIAN ed

[Nomadicus]

Bought one of these off of ebay
Anyone have one of these and can attest to the quality?

Heres what the seller told me when I asked who it was made by

"They were made by the new and innovative J-Steam. They specialize in creating devices to your own specs. "

Anyone heard of J-Steam? Im fairly new to RBAs.

I own a R91% and love it.The one you posted a link for on ebay does not have any logo's or lettering on them.The Russian and Russian 91% have Russian across the bottom and UCT on the opposite side.
These units look like someone just made there own copy of the actual Russian rta with different O-rings to make it there version??Just a guess here.It is not a Russian or 91% because the drip tip screws into the Russian rta's NOT,pushed in.They have a drip tip adapter that allows the use of any tip though.

I think someone has copied the Russian line and also used a darker satin matte finish.

I understand that it is a clone of the r91/kayfun, i was wondering if anybody had one. Ive heard of a the tebecos, ehpros, fasttechs but i havent heard of j-steam

 

[cantstopwontstop]

Nope but It seems there are new manufacurers of Kayfun clones coming out everyday. I just bought one with fasttech and can safely say - don't buy one from Fasttech. But report back when you get it I placed it under my "watch list" on Ebay and am considering getting one. Also looking at the russian clones - dont know if I want to drop the 50$ on it but....probably will lol.

Looks like different color o -rings and black box to me.

 

[Nomadicus]

Yeah ill def post here on my thoughts when it arrives.

Mine came in today. Disassembled, soap and water, dried and reassembled. Machining quality and appearance are good. An impressive collection of extra grommets and screws included!! Pos and neg screws are tiny though! Microcoil at 1.7 ohms, cotton wick on a Provari. Vaping quite well for a new device (14nic, 60/40 juice). Will be going through the forum threads again to see if I can find tweaks/improvements. Well worth fifty bucks, especially compared to my ProTank 2 (~$25.00) which is sitting in my emergency box!!

 

[Herennow]

I just ordered one also.
Guy accepted my offer of $34! Hard to go effin wrong with that!
Just need to get the wick n wire deal sorted now.

Has everything the way I wanted it.
Smooth frosted finish
Larger bottom filling hole
Side air adjust - Longest airflow screw to date for improved adjustability
304 STAINLESS - excellent resistance to corrosion. It is a nonmagnetic steel.
-
Just like this one, that's three times the money!
Russian 91% Atomizer

Awesome, mine will either hit home today or tomorrow, ill break it down and post pics and comments when it arrives.

First impressions :

Its nice. good looking finish. threads are smooth. all SS. came pre coiled. coil ohm'd at 0.8. looks like the firing pin is not adjustable, threads into the base plate. Did have some small traces of oil inside, boiling it now. I took some pictures of it broken down, and how it came. Will try and get those up later tonight.

I've got two arriving from the manufacturer - not today apparently, maybe tomorrow. $19 each, added them on to my Valkyrie order. Good people to deal with, and my order was in my country less than a day after being picked up in Hong Kong

Extremely happy with this purchase. The materials and craftsmanship are high quality. This was my first attempt at an RBA build and with some tweaking over the past couple of hours it is vaping very nice. The only leak i have experienced was out of the air hole, and that was due to wicking issues with my build causing the chimney chamber to flood.

 

[Cromeus]

So my $19 Russian clone from jstream just arrived - look familiar?

Honestly, for $40, you may as well just go with the eBay listing. You won't be saving any money if you order fewer than two, and any problems involving returns would cost a lot more.

Here's some macro pics of fit and finish.

This is after cleaning and before modifying it a bit. I had to sand down the one edge of that center insulator a bit, bit other than that, it's superb.

That center post looks like plated brass or other to me, keep an eye on it. I had the plated center post on an Hcigar 3.1 spontaneously snap on me mid-vape.

Just curious, but is the plug in the bottom of the top cap just holding the o-ring in or is that the actual seal?

That's the actual seal - it's the rubber bits they use for kanger heads. A quick suction test shows it works pretty well.

I don't like it, but it works.
