Got it... I found a cloud9 site in usa. Your site is in uk

Now the problem... I bought one of ebay for 37 shipped that came in that exact same box and looked the exact same.... I am sure at the price I paid it was a clone. But how do we know what other sites are selling

I'm sure there is a list somewhere of approved svoe mesto resellers.

I have a couple KFL clones and 4 real kayfun, out of the 3 clones only 1 worked out of the box. I've had to enlarge poorly machined juice channels, enlarge air holes, use larger o-rings to get the others working. Clones are hit and miss as far as quality goes. My real kayfuns are always just perfect out of the box.

You may get a clone and you get lucky and it works as it should, or you may have a dud or you can pay the extra and know you are getting an excellent machined device and not have to modify it.

Luckily I have the knowledge and the equipment to modify stuff. If I was some noob who bought a clone KFL that had poor machined channels, and was unable to get the atty to feed and vape correctly, I would be totally turned off by rba and kayfuns.

Cloud9.co.uk, intaste.de, and vaperev.com are all SvoeMesto resellers.

As for that box for the one on eBay, I could have made that on my home printer. I think it would be safe to say if you got it off eBay, or, if the price sounds too good to be true, it's a clone.

Bingo
90% of the time they'd be available in either of the site/s. If not ~ get on their Adv Notifications - and it'd be with you in a fortnight max.

My last shipment from InTaste reached my door in 24hrs. (yep, to Canada) ~ Beat that inland vendors! Idk how InTaste/FedEx combo does that :)

And the R-91 (or the full 'R') is usually available within Canada for $99 CAD ('R' for $110) shipped. I fetched both. And these, alongwith my 3 K'funs (PIFed one, else had 4), are all I need for my vape pleasure. Nothing else matters, tho I had a few more!

Not going to dispute the REAL one is better (it probably is)... but so far on kayfun clones I am 3 for 3 working great out of box... I am handy anyways so if needed adjustments I could handle that.

GL buddy And I hope/pray they remain so after a while.
I have my K'funs for over a year now (K-lites for over 6months) - none have thrown any tantrum/s as yet.

Around $50 for a clone vs. $100 for the real... I'll grab the real any day! But that's me... and we all are so different.

I just ordered replacement parts for my Kayfuns from inTaste. I've been out of here for a good while now but I've been enjoying life with my Kayfuns very much.

I was using the same 1.5ohm coils for the past month an a half or maybe more. Using 28awg 10 wraps over a 5/32" drill bit. I felt at the end like I was craving more power and they weren't keeping up with my demand giving me dry hits and sometimes burnt flavor. I used the replacements o-rings I had and I've ended up enlarging my juice channels a little further on both of them. I rebuilt using the same coil specs but I finally got around to wicking these larger sized micro coils with a solid mesh wick aided by cotton tails wrapped at the ends like I posted here a few months back.

At 15 watts on my Kick2's they have been chucking flavor on par with a very saturated dripper! I also changed my juice rotation, running Nicoticket's Custard's Last Stand, Grandmas Cinnamon Danish and H1N1. Total nirvana!

Among the replacements I ordered 4 sets of insulators as I noticed the higher wattage is making the top insulator squash down when it gets really hot. The positive post deck is inclining towards the negative post and they are ever so close to shorting on the negative post, hence I added insulators to my replacement bits order. Ordered a replacement clear m-tank as well as a Dutch Apple Pie flavor I was using hazed one my clear sections.

    I took my R91, out for a swapmeet trip. Worked fine in my house, then started giving me dry hits at the swapmeet. I get home to change the battery, starts leaking out the air intake... Flip it over change the battery, take a few puffs. It is stable & working great.. Reminds me of a moody woman i know. Now its working perfect once again?? Oh well, ill keep enjoying the moment. Probably flooded, from a weak battery. Then ran out intake when i got home to change battery, because with a fresh battery in it & flood cleared, it is awesome once again. Moral of the outing, keep a fresh battery ready.

    To me, the whole clone issue is simple. If money is of little importance, then getting the expensive genuine article is the best choice. If money is of greater importance then less expensive clones are the best choice...especially if paying the full price for the genuine is prohibitive. I think overall, it can safely be said that the genuine KFL is of better quality than the clones. The degree to which varies among users.

    Does this simply the argument?

    what are some sites i can order a kayfun lite from that will ship to canada?

    All of the Svoemesto resellers ship to Canada. Intaste.de, Vaperev.com, Cloud9.uk as well as shop.svoemesto.ru.

    By far the fastest shipping is from Intaste.de where they use FedEx to ship. Shipping - Delivery is between 1 and 3 days. I've bought 2 there. My other one came from Vaperev where it took a week and half to get here.

    Let me know if you have any other questions. Qorax and I are both in Toronto, me in East end and he in the West end, so can lend a hand if you want some hands-on too.

    These guys ship to Canada. And they are also the cheapest and fastest to Canada. We have Canadians on this thread who will attest to both. Are they in stock? That's another issue, but they usually replenish pretty quickly. They remove the VAT tax upon checkout.

    Kayfun Lite plus - InTaste

    Yes. Create an account to see the prices without the VAT. At least for us in the states. Dusty or Qorax, is is removed for Canada, too?
