Kayfun mini clone? Does it exist?

[ccwaters]

The Nemi is a clone of the real one, it is the 14500/14650 version, it is almost identical to my full size, just smaller, that goes for the magnets as well, believe he bought his from same place I got mine, which did come with the magnets. You can see post #136 in this thread for pictures of my the Nemi.

And no, far as I know, Nemi is what Atmomixani calls the Mini Nemesis AKA the 14500/650 version of the Nemesis. And yes Angelcigs has the Nemi on site, well it is actually out of stock now, but quite sure they will have more, as well as fasttech will probably list them very soon.

I ordered 3 of the $14 Kayfun mini clones from fasttech, but after almost 3 weeks I cancelled, I reordered a few days ago, and it is on the way. I'll post up a comparison of both the Ivogo, and the $14 FT version once I get it. I'll also post up a comparison of the Vapingtech, and the Angelcig Nemi once I get it as well. Hoping that it might be a little better clone then Vapingtech, its a bit cheaper, polished rather then brushed, the pics they have makes it look a little nicer then the one I have now.

The Ivogo has dropped a few dollars from Angelcigs orginal price, its now only a couple dollars more then ordering it from FT, personally I'd go with Angelcigs whenever possible just to save the frustration of the "slow boat" syndrome with Fasttech.

That's why I asked, to double check, because as soon as I saw your post saying you got a Nemi at angelcigs I went looking. Silly me, I searched for Nemi, didn't even think of trying mini Nemesis. Which was why I didn't find anything, so we're back to me checking with you to be sure you really meant a 14500 mod

Regarding the FastTech mini Kayfun, I thought it was the Tobeco version since it has the same style clear section that's the same diameter as the steel section and not larger like the original and the Ivogo. But since it was first listed they've added a black version also and I'm not aware of Tobeco producing a black version. So I'll be rather curious to see what exactly you get. Do you have the Tobeco version or just the Ivogo?

I could also get a Spheroid (which are supposed to be awesome) but I don't really want to spend $90 each when I need 3 or 4 of them.

I have a Spheroid. I run it on my Simplicity 14500. Tight draw, but it is AWESOME.

Best taste out of any non Genny/Dripper setup.

Easiest atty to build that I have ever seen, as well.

Yep, the 14500 mod, I really like it, might try a microstick one of these days. not real fond of the painted decks on those black ones fasttech listed, also looks like it is indeed just paint, its even splattered, If I do get a black one it will be an Ivogo.

As for the Sheroid, its a bit of a different beast, I'll try one if they clone it, or if I find a deal on a used one, I do like the Heron quite a bit, but then there is the Squape reloaded, its endless all the new stuff constantly. Not sure if I'd like messing with the filler on the Spheroid, Heron works nicely with no filler, and I'm sure gives a comparable vape to the Spheroid.

The filler is actually a snap to handle. You can buy relacement fluff in the aquarium section of a supermarket.
As for building it, i can break it down, clean it, cut and mount the cluff, wrap and mount the coil in about 6-8 minutes.
I know this because if I forgot to get a rig ready for work, and I have limited time, the Spheriod is what I build.
Its the easiest RBA to build by far. Dont know why, as the actions are no different than, say, a Kayfun, but its just set up in such a way that its easy.
The flavor is top notch as well-it out flavours anything other than a dripper, and is as good as a genesis.

So, I got my Fasttech $14 dollar clone today, I must say this is the dirtiest, greasiest atomizer I've ever gotten! Just touching it left my hands with grease, and grime! And if that were not bad enough, the short chimney (the one you use most), is some kind of soft, magnetic crap metal that arrived RUSTY, and is clearly a soft enough metal to be press shaped (extrusion?). the rest of it is not so bad, clear tank is Toadbeco style, (problematic juice flow). Positive block on the deck looks cast, seems non-magnetic, and is unfinished, overall, probably not worth the $14 I paid.

It also has some sort of silicon cap in the top cap, looks pretty much like the same cup used on old style Kanger Clearo heads. Some pictures of this dirty atty follow, my suggestion? Spend the extra dollars for an Ivogo, other then the above issues machining seems OK.
Notice the Extruded look of the rusty, magnetic chimney section, as well as the grimy paper toweling inserted in it to see if it was actually rust, or some other contaminate.

 

[ccwaters]

Since it was mentioned in this thread as a contender I'll post my thoughts on the Spheroid. I picked this V2 up used, needs some polishing, and a little maintenance, but I've got to say I much prefer the KF mini, Airflow reminds me of a carto, pretty damn tight, and no option to adjust it, flavor is good (maybe slightly more then KFM), vapor production just OK, probably due to the restricted airflow. easy to build, don't care for the necessity of using filler material. Now I've only built the Spheroid a couple times so far, so experimentation may improve it some, but still there is the airflow issue, think I'll hunt for a V3!


I'll also post up a compare of the Nemi (mini Nemesis) my Angelcig polished should be here tomorrow, compared to the one I got from Vapingtech. Fasttech also just posted a Mini for $21, probably the same one Angel sells.

Anyone have a set of magnets from the Vapingtech Nemi they are not going to use? would like to buy them if you do!

Damn, that FT mini is really quite dirty! I never received anything that bad. I ordered my mini from Angelcigs 2 days ago... still says its processing and has not shipped yet. Grrr... getting impatient. Its giving me time to have second thoughts about it, mainly because the thing is so darn long and if I use it on my iTaste VV3, I will feel like I'm vaping a lightsaber. Buuut.. I'm hoping it will be worth it.

I would be surprised if it didn't ship rather soon, I'm very happy with Angelcigs so far, they do pretty good on shipping time, and I don't mind paying the slight premium for that!

Honestly, I have not used any of the Minis I have in long mode, I've assembled it, and thought the additional capacity was not worth the unwieldy length of it, in the normal mode, it is not bad at all on my Innokin VV V3, I do have rather large hands, but even so, not terrible long.

Oh, and if it were just dirty I wouldn't mind, cleaning is a normal thing anyhow, but the cheap, probably Tin, rusty chimney section is a deal breaker. I'm not the only one, is a thread over on the FT forums that seems to be filling up , people are reporting rust on the deck, off axis machining, probably more to come. Kind of doubt it is done by Toadbeco. I've experienced some poorly machined pieces from Toadbeco, but this thing is inferior even beyond them! I've also opened a ticket so I can return this dirty little POS.

Mine was bad but not quite as bad as yours I'm making it work but I should have bought the better version

Wow, that $14 FT mini is nasty.

I waited to pull the trigger on one of these for awhile......because I really don't need one. I just wanted one to play with.

I finally gave in, and pulled the trigger on $14 FT clone. I then immediately cancelled it and ordered the Ivogo verison. Glad I did.

I must say, I'm really impressed with the performance of this atomizer. I built a 1.5Ω coil with 29ga wire and stuck it on a Spinner. It seems it's a little more finicky in terms of wicking then a standard size KF, but the build was otherwise the same. The flavor is fantastic and vapor, even on a Spinner, it pretty impressive.

Mine does have a small build issue. One of the juice channels is machined noticeably smaller then the other, and as such, I never get that healthy wicking bubble from that side. Otherwise, I have zero other complaints with the quality of this one and I may try to fix the juice channel with a Dremmel. I'd have to say, if I hadn't used the clear tank section, I would have never noticed the juice channel issue. It seems to keep up with me just fine.

Hey ccwaters you can have my magnets. PM me your address and I'll send them. I'm happy with the spring. In fact, I've got the Kayfun mini and Nemi working good now and think I'll hold on to them. I have an ad in that other place that you can sell counterfeits on. Not much selling going on but at least we have a place to buy and sell "counterfeits".

Very cool, I do appreciate it, I'll hit you with a PM!

What size magnets does the Nemi need as compared to the Nemesis?

I'll try to measure the magnets when I get a chance, don't think they are the same size as the full size Nemesis.

OK, so I got my Nemi from AngelCigs, I was surprised by the fact these are also made by Ivogo, Before opening the box, I immediately had high hopes this was going to be exceptional quality, it was a bit of a let down.

First, it bares little resemblance to the mirror polished picture that is posted, both on the sale page, and on the box. That is not a huge deal, however, the joint for the 14650 extension has been improperly machined, due to poor machining, there is an actual bulge in the lower tube, now it is not that bad, but it is present ! The extension is also slightly more polished, and a tiny bit larger diameter then the lower tube, not that bad, but it is noticeable. Engraving is nicer than the one from Vapingtech, threading is about the same.

The switch is OK, not as smooth as my VT clone, but OK, spring is a bit strong for my taste as well. At the price AC charges for this clone I feel it is slightly overpriced. Sadly the picture portrays a much nicer finished device.

I've tried to capture the bulge, but lighting, and reflection make it difficult. I think I will try one of the $21 FT clones, and contact Angel to see if all of them are this way, or I just got a bad one.

If these things bother you look for a different one. I know this is just a clone, but this does not even come close to the one pictured for sale, and it is a bit on the high side price wise.

Almost forgot, as with the VT Nemi the battery cannot be removed from the switch end.

 

[petemoss]

Yeah the Nemesis magnets are larger. I bought a pack of ten from Fasttech and still have six left. They're pretty strong magnets and will fly together and break if you don't keep an eye on them.
I also noticed that the batteries only fit from the top of the VT Nemi. Thought there was something wrong with the switch threads.

Got the black KFM on order from FT about a week ago. Can't wait to get it and start playing with it. Will be putting it on my Smok Epipe and im sure it will look nice on it

 

[zipflint]

Got one from angelcigs yesterday. I'm impressed. Super clean, no grime. Easier to set up than many of the full-size KFL knockoffs I've got from other sites. I was expecting a hassle, but it's got nice, deep juice channels for such a tiny device. Gave me a good reason to use a VV Kanger battery I've had sitting around.

I'll also add that it is WAY easier to deal with than a Taifun GS. And this is coming from a huge Taifun GT fanboy.

and with other stuff for a scale reference

[zipflint]

Thank you! They are fairly artless, but try as I might, have yet to come up with a good way to photograph mods 'n stuff
in a way that satisfies me. That's 75% laziness on my own part, and 25% ignorance of what makes a good background
for these things. Having a decent lightbox would help, maybe....but maybe not.
