EHPRO KAYFUN Lite Plus Clone RBA Tank Atomizer Adjustable Airflow Stai | Luxor Vapes

 

[LAwaters]

I'd shop around for all your options LA. I don't own a clone so I cannot speak to them. I have a genuine svoemesto KFL...the original, not the plus (which is a minus as far as I'm concerned). The genuine Svoemesto is going to cost $100 but it is the finest juice feeding device ever made. The machining is perfect and the quality unsurpassed period. Case closed. End of story. For people who have larger e-cig budgets I would always recommend the original Svoemesto. But reality says e-cig budgets are not endless. Enter the clones. ther are some good ones and some not so good ones. I base this on what I have read about them and it is quite extensive. Retic found the hcigar 3.1 which by his (and other accounts) is a very fine performer. The 3.1 is a little larger than the Lite and has some more doo dads on it that may or may not appeal to you. Do your homework and get what fits your fancy. There are some people who have a half dozen different versions and they just have fun with it. Me personally, I own just one. I dont need more than one as I vape Dragon's Fire at least 50% of the time and rotate a half dozen (or more) of other juices the rest of the time. i use simple Phoenix drippers for that. So a single genuine Svoemesto KFL was a perfect fit for me. Figure out what the best fit is for you.

I usually have about 8 tanks going because I like rotating flavors. But like you, there's usually one that is at least 50% of the time. I like trying out tanks too, and today a couple of Aspire BDC's arrived with my Nautilus coils. Nice little tanks for the occasional flavors and to try new one. But, dang, those cartridges are not cheap! Better than the Halo Triton cartridge prices, but still. If I get more work projects, I would love to get a genuine one day. Partly to try it and partly because I appreciate fine craftsmanship.

LA, my HCigar Kayfun 3.1 clones from Luxor have been great. I have 2 of the matte finish ones, and one of the polished ones. The last one I bought (the polished one) doesn't have quite the fit and finish of the first 2, but it still works great.

3 was the minimum requirement for me. I'm on the go a lot, so dripping is out for me. I switch between juices periodically during the day (if possible), and I wanted to use the Kayfun for each one.

 

[Pappy]

BTW, some people use a 5/64th drill bit, and others use a 3/32 size, which is just a tiny bit larger. I use the 3/32. Since the opening is a little larger, it takes fewer wraps and it's easier to get the cotton through it when re-wicking without the cotton bunching up.

I've had mine for a couple of months and all 3 coils are still working fine. I dry burn them after a few tanks (depending on which juice I'm using).

Good to know, because I like the matte finish a lot. Only downside so far is not being able to see how much juice is left. I like the look of the all metal, but am using the window. Since already burning a wick, I know I need to tip the tank and check the level more often. I hear about dripping, but haven't even check into it at all.

Actually it was Dreamreaper that turned me on to the HCIGAR 3.1 he bought several including the EHPRO 3.1 and said the machining on the HCIGAR was superior , Dreamreaper does machining for a living so I took his word on it , glad I did , I'm still impressed with it , Bronze is your Neme an HCIGAR ?

Glad you posted this Pappy , I was curious if there was any differences between the two versions , the matte finish 3.1's look almost seamless .

It might have just been the luck of the draw. I would assume they make the polished ones on the same tooling as the matte ones, but who knows.

EHPRO KAYFUN Lite Plus Clone RBA Tank Atomizer Adjustable Airflow Stai | Luxor Vapes

Both of mine are EHPro. They work good. The only thing was the threads were a little rough. I took a wire brush on my dremel to them and all is good. They may have worked the burrs off them in time but that's what I have a dremel for.

May have to give the 3/32 a try. I'm one of the 5/64 people. And I finely put new wick in one and it's working without making a new coil. Maybe it's the .6 ribbon instead of the .5 or I'm getting the hang of it.

Indeed, my Neme is an HCigar and a very fine mech. I'm also into manufacturing and know what a well machined piece of metal is. The machining on the Svoemesto's is premium. It simply does not get better. I would think anyone who wants to be a legit Svoemesto competitor would have to at least approach the same level of machining quality. It seems HCigar peddles mostly quality knockoffs.

Oh, so the battery is integral to the MVP? I know nothing about the MVPs. Well, some, but not much.

just looked it up and there is short protection. They all pretty much do these days.

MVP battery is a single flat pack around 2000mah

I saw one advertising 2600mah.

The MVP 2 is 2600mah VV/VW nice little unit no PWM on it either , closer to the Provari in power delivery but not quite the range in the upper end .

 

[Bunnykiller]

How cool that you are a chef! I love to watch cooking shows when they are about the food - not the drama. I can see why you are a Kayfun fan then. And I am almost regretting those tanks I just bought. Meh - but sometimes a clears will be good to have. Maybe. At least until I get more Kayfuns!

okay second step has occured... where are you going to put your old tanks???

I'll have to learn furniture building and create my own custom vape gear/juice aging cabinet. Then market them, make some real money and buy more gear and juice. Right now I can't imagine any other future path.

That's the thing I noticed about the Silver Bullet when I bought it. The threads were so buttery smooth. I could tell it was a quality unit just by that.
