Thanks for that link, suspectK and ccwaters. I ordered the copper 14500 version. $35 with free shipping is a good value IMO. I've been looking for a 14500 mod ever since I bought three 14500 batteries in error (meant to get 18500 but screwed up). My kayfun mini will be a good match for the mini Nemmy. Hope they won't send a 14650 version.

I have been using both for a couple of weeks.. bottom line the Tobeco has a nicer finish but the Ivogo functions much better. Don't really bother with Toby clear tank unless your using the extended chimney port...the inside diameter was not cut out enough to be used on the base. The Ivogo is more or less like the original and works good on the base.
Notice the "barrel" type tube on the Ivogo (to the right) and the straight wall for the Toby (less id)

Black Kayfun Mini V2.1 Rebuildable Atomizer Clone By IVOGO

That really looks nice! Wouldn't call it black though, more like a gun metal grey. And it has red (silicone?) o-rings too. Now I wish I had waited!

 

[Midniteoyl]

Always wait..

Hope they won't send a 14650 version.

The SS version came with the 650 extension tube, I would be surpised if the copper did not as well. If you, post up pics when you get it.

Tobeco clone vs Ivogo clone by VapingwithTwisted420

I have had both for a while now and would disagree that the tebeco is better.. Ivogo for me works best and leaks least.
Tebeco is leaking like crazy.. Maybe just the luck of the draw..

Thanks for sharing. I have no one, and i want to colect opinions from kay mini owners.
Probably the ivogo clone will be my choice.

Thanks again!

Ivogo clone from FT?

Think I'm ordering a Tobeco just to try, of 6 Kayfun full size clones, the Tobeco I have is the lowest quality, it was poorly machined, and I actually had to properly cut the juice channels because they didn't. I had 3 Tobecos ordered from FT, cancelled due to delays of nearly 3 weeks with no definite arrival time.

Twisted420's review, it appears to me the differences are very minimal. I do know everyone I've seen is happy with the Ivogo, and typically the Tobeco gets complaints, usually flow issues due to a smaller tank.

As for flooding, when you spin the top on as quickly as Twisted did, it is unavoidable, tighten the top slowly and you end up with minimal, or non-existent flooding, covering the air hole never seemed to make much difference on any of my Kayfuns. Inverting only helps if you leave the juice settle away from the flow channels. Fill it with a little care and you won't have issues.

The Tobeco version only has 2 real issues. The clear tank section is the same outer diameter as the metal sections. The wall thickness of the clear section is much thicker than the metal sections. So there's almost no space between the wall and chamber. The original and Ivogo solve this by flaring the outer diameter of the clear section. The Tobeco clear can be used as the middle of the 3 section extended setup.

The fill value leaks for some people even if never used for filling. Fixed by plugging up with epoxy, etc.

So if you're aware of the limitations, its a decent clone and you'll get good results.

Here is the black Ivogo I just received from AC, next to the silver one. The pvd finish is very nice. It reminds me more of blued steel on a gun barrel rather than the plating or pvd used on mods.

I normally don't like logos on clones, but this one looks pretty sharp through the plastic tank...

That'd match rather well with my black chrome (gunmetal) Nemesis from FastTech I believe. Looks better on your mods than the angelcigs site.

I have one too just like yours. Love it..

This would look nice with gun metal. The photos on AC's site don't do it justice. The actual color is darker than shown in their pics.

Me too. After getting these minis, it seems like a hassle carrying around my larger heavier mods.

I got the mini Nemesis in copper and it came with a 14500 tube and a short 650 extension. Finish was a bit rough but easy enough to smooth out the sharp edges and threads. I installed the magnets in the switch but the switch sometimes got stuck and fired continuously. I took out the magnets and reinstalled the spring. I'm not thrilled but didn't expect much for $35.

Well that does suck on the copper, thanks for the report on it, I was considering it, I do like the SS version OK, it is pretty smooth, the threads to the 510 end, are not bad, but they do take a little care, and fiddling to get it to start straight! I'm on my second Ivogo, both the brushed stainless, both from Angel, thinking about maybe a black one, especially since they dropped the price a few bucks. I did also order, and had it finally ship a Tobeco from FT, I wanted one to dedicate for drip mode anyhow.

I also ordered one of the Nemi clones Angelcigs just put up, I was deciding, then the first shipment of them got down to 2 pieces so I pulled the trigger, it looks like it may be a different manufacturer then the one from Vapingtech, it is polished, looks a bit cleaner from the pics. I'll post up when the FT mini gets here, as well as the Nemi Angel has, and do a compare with the one I currently have.

 

[bsoplinger]

You mention magnets for the Nemi. Do those come with or are they additional? What size? Same as Nemesis?

Are you saying angelcigs has the Nemi, or are you just abbreviating Nemesis to Nemi.

Also just noticed that FastTech offers a black mini Kayfun, apparently the same design as the Tobeco one (smaller diameter clear section), for cheap and now also have the Ivogo version, just in stainless steel. They also have a bunch of clones of expensive drip tips, Nemesis, Elements, Oso and others, cheap, most under $3.
