If you want plated brass :p 3 in a row from FT Taifun GT, KF 3.1 and KFLs are all reputedly plated brass decks and parts. Shame I ordered all 3, bona fide KFL+ in the new year it is!

the one the topic creator posted is all SS, well at least that is what the FT rep stated. the other kayfun clones listed on FT are plated.

The Tebecco KFL does not compare to the original in quality, fit an finish. I have heard of, an experienced problems with the fill hole screw.
It does NOT have an o-ring and it Will leak. In time it will also strip the threads out. I tried placing an o-ring from the original parts bag on the KFL-clone, only to find out the screw will not screw down tight. This Will be a future problem. I have reverted to using Teflon tape on the screw to stop the leaking.

Does it vape the same as the original KFL+ ... Yes mine does. Would I spend $27 on it again... NO I would at least buy the Ehpro KFL+-clone, a much better built unit. And I think it is only an additional 20 bucks or so.

All that being said, neither hold a candle to the original. IMO

Is this one that you have the full SS one or one of the ones with the brass deck?
edit: and I don't think anyone thinks that the quality is or will be the same as the original. :D

Well I picked up the EHPro 3.1 clone fro m Madvapes, I cancelled My Halfassttech order after my ship by date came and went, got mine in 3 days for 45 shipped Black Friday deal, I'm happy with it, build quality is decent, works well, But it did leak from the fill hole, not much but enough to annoy me!

Fix for leak was simple enough, looking closely at the machined fill hole it had a flat edge where the little round tipped Allen headed slug ended, took a sharpening stone (flat stone to sharpen knives) and made the tip of the slug flat, flat edge to flat edge, problem solved, happy camper.

Another bit of info Rocket tanks fit the EHpro 3.1 clone fine, though not vice-versa.

MY RUSSIAN 91% clone from eBay is hereeeee!!!!

No leak. Currently using 32gauge around 1/16 drill bit, 2ohms with cotton wick. Baby vapes EXACTLY like my original. Can't wait for my 30gauge to come and I'm gonna run a microcoil and cotton with it.

Btw in case anyone is interested, I scraped pretty much everywhere. Seems like stainless steel all over. It also feels VERY very solid and well constructed. Bugger is hefty in weight and makes my mvp2 topple with a slight tap. Overall, excellent value. At this point, I can say it's def worth considering buying, although I can't vouch for the long term durability since I just got it.


Edit: I forgot to mention. I didn't mess around with the drip tip much, but from my 3 sec interaction with it, it appears to NOT be screw-Ons. Looks more like a push-in plug. I could be wrong since I never give a crap about drip tips. I'll update this when I get back from the gym

Edit edit: ok so BAD news. The clone that I have does NOT have a 510 drip tip head. There is also no adaptor for that
