I've just started fiddling with a Russian. And I have a few "rings" - all different...
kayfun Cone, which I thought would be perfect and is my favorite - a hair too "tall" - had to adjust the pin way out
Loki and Tatroe rings - one was rattley loose, and both look funny, cause they're brushed (and my Russian is polished).
I am using it mostly with a Hippo V1 - almost perfect - Hippo leaves a tiny bit of ProVari cap exposed, but that's a known fact. V2 would probably be perfect.

I got a KFL from Vaperev in SoCal.

At any rate there is less of a gap when it's mounted on the Provari than when mounted on the Semovar. Maybe a 1/16" or so on the Provari. Doesn't matter to me a bit but that's me.

There are NO gaps with any real kayfun on a Semovar.

Where did you buy a KFL???
And yes I do believe if there was a ring on your provari and you stacked your KFL onto it it would keep it from bending (pockets or other accidental force to bend the connection) but that's just me! I'm sure you're fine without it but I too feel that way when I have a tank on mine and without a ring. I'm also sure the steel the KFL is made out of is strong German and Russian steel is tough and durable so I don't think it'd be easy for the 510 connection on it will bend while applied onto your device. BUT find a ring anyways, just to get that "what if thought" away and most of us personally prefer a fully flush device anyways. That being said I would just like to mention that German, Russian, American and Japanese and Swiss steel is the most durable out of the other countries : China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Phillipines (decent, but not durable) etc. So IN CASE you make further purchases on future products that contain steel just know that russian, German, American, Swiss, and japanese steel won't let you down..best bang for your buck IMO all my kitchen knives are made from Japan (Fuji shun) and it's just as sharp as it was 3 years ago. Provari is one of the best device I've had that had contain steel (very durable,possibly industructive) And etc etc OK BYE NOW

I bought my Kayfun Lite+ (V2) from Cloud9Vapor. If you wanted to know, because I wasn't sure if they were ACTUALLY going to ship to the US or not. Also note that VapeRev never seems to have them in stock. Which is odd, because even SvoeMesto and Cloud9Vapor has them in stock - trust me, have signed up for the auto-notify and it's been weeks since they've shown "In Stock", nor have I heard hide or hair from them. I'm sure VapeRev is a good store, but damn, weeks? They've also been out of the Kayfun PV Cones as well, which I did indeed also purchase from Cloud9Vapor. I think even IF VapeRev were to have them in stock, I would probably STILL order from Cloud9 just based on probability of availability. I was also reading in the event you are unable to flush mount your Kayfun Lite / Lite+ / Russian 91% / etc, to mount PRIOR to building, adjust as needed, remove from the device, and then build. Which was my intentions anyways. Mount, remove, adjust, remount, check, and hope it mounts properly once again. Unfortunately there's no adjusting my current tank so I added a rubber ring to the threads, issue solved. I just wanted a Kayfun Lite / Lite+ / Russian 91% because rebuilding Kanger Coil heads - although fun - I feel as if I've got more options with a Kayfun.

That's nothing. Before this latest batch came out VapeRev was out of stock for almost 3 months.

I buy all of mine directly from Germany.

I was notified and bought the new SvoëMesto Kayfun Lite+ SB from VapeRev last Saturday, it arrived on Thursday.

Why would there be a gap on the Semovar when it has an adjustable centre pin?

There may be no gaps between your real Semovar and real KFL but there is with my genuine Svoemesto devices. I have 2 Semovars and 1 KFL+ V2. The gap is the same on either Semovar.

I don't care about the gap. I haven't explored center pin adjustments because I don't care about the gap.

You can just turn the disc under the top cap to shorten the centre pin. This will give more support if you drop the device.

I generally start with the centre pin on minimum, add the tank flush then just tighten the centre pin up to meet the tank.

That is a nice feature of the Semovar that the ProVari lacks
