Would you let us all know Ping? It was my impression the Lite's all came standard with a plastic tank insert and I also remember reading the date is standard to help avoid clones. If this is the real deal, $60 is a real bargain.

I think my authentic was from the second batch of KFL+. It came with a plastic tank.

If (when more likely) I finally break down and get a Kayfun Like Plus, I will only purchase from an authorized seller. I wouldn't want to risk getting a clone or have warranty issues should something be amiss.

Oh and you know I'm also really glad to haz the Puddy Cat back. Yaz I am!

To (possibly) assist in the confusion about the KFL...

1st batch had the traditional Kayfun rounded drip tip with a 510 connection and no date stamp. The chimney-shaped drip tip and date stamp came in with the second batch. IF the item has the chimney-shaped DT and the date stamp, then it's most likely an authentic 2nd Batch KFL. If it doesn't have the date, it's a counterfeit. It is also worth noting that many US retailers buy their SV stock from VapeRev, as they are the only *authorized* importer of SV goods in the US. If memory serves me correctly, VapeRev has a MAP policy, so anyone selling it lower than VapRev's advertised price would be violating the MAP policy.

Really great information Tim. And it gives credibility to VapinArt selling authentic KFL's at the same price as VapeRev. Yes it does!

My thought exactly!
Hey Paladin,
I haven't seen Baditude around in quite a while, but he's got a few long, extremely informative posts floating around the forum. They may be as much as a year off, but still correct! Check them out!

He popped into a newbies thread (or two) over the weekend. I think he might be taking a low-key approach, which might also be a good thing for him.

(Continuing to wish him well)

And yes, his battery threads are almost legendary, and I still refer people to them. He put a lot of work into those and they deserve to be seen.

Great recommendation, HB, and I emphatically second that notion.

I second your second, but we gotta lay it down for Mr. WillyZee!!! Yes folks, Mr. WillyZee was lightning fast with that recommendation of Señor Baditude!
What an outstanding performance!

Yes, yes - of course!!!

I even saw that last night and Liked it. Sorry for the oversight, Willy. Purely unintentional but still inexcusable.

Thanks, HB. I appreciate the head-smack. Another cuppa for me, please. [emoji4]

No head-smack intended!

Oh and a 30ml refill of our finest house reserve. [emoji382]

Rod,

I've known Larry at Vapinart for a while now. Absolutely top-notch guy with (to the best of my knowledge) ONLY authentic items. He's good people in my book.

He needs to call Svoemesto and get his name on the dealer list if he is selling authentic Kayfuns. I would not buy if I didn't see his name on that list. That will hurt him.
