It's easy stuff. Just be gentle with the sanding - don't use a power sander. I'd just put a piece of sandpaper on a piece of glass (a dab of water on the backside will help it to not slide around as much) & just give it a light sanding by hand with minimal pressure. The other trick, if you have some smaller needlenose pliers (a multitool would probably work), grasp both the positive & negative posts with the handle at 90 degrees instead of pointing them straight down. You'll keep the blocks inline while being able to get some good torque on the post. If the insulator is a hard translucent white plastic (the real ones are, don't know anything about the knock-offs) you'd have to be the Hulk to overtighten the post by hand. They're not squishy like a lot of the clearo head insulators, so it's nearly impossible to create a short by overtightening.
Sooo what ring fills the Kayfun gap?

If you cant get a russian. What i did to make a kfl work is take out the screw, put any kind of oring/washer(non metal oviously) and then screw it back in untill the deck is tight. Thats the only way iv gitten a kfl to work on a provari with loki ring. I ended up getting a russian tho and that solves everything

That will work if the post is too short & not making contact. Having too large of a gap is the exact opposite problem.
You guys have too large of a gap? Either the clones are way off or theres huge quality control problems because mine was short by about 3mm

I don't own any knock-offs of anything, but I don't have problems either. QC has always been an issue with these Chinese companies, including Kebo. The only knock-off I've ever purchased was a Russian & ended up returning it the same day.
I have a russian and what i believe to be a tobeco kfl clone. What did u not like about the russian?

Just stopping by to say my legit kfl+v2 and provape ring fit perfectly, with no rotation, unless the kfl has come loose.
I think the only authorized dealer is vaperev, You just have to keep checking stock, or sign up for that notification thing.

Oh, they have metal ones now? When I bought my black Loki ring all they had was plastic. Thanks for the info, I might have to throw some money Lokis way.

yep - they replaced the plastic black one with this.
It's a regular Loki stainless ring, that was sent to "OCD" to be cerakoted. They also have "Zombie Rings"...
It does leave that thin strip of SS visible, and I had to adjust the pin a bit to reach with a ring - but I like the look!

Thanks to KAS, i signed up for the email notification from Vaperev and finally got my Kayfun PV Cone. It looks super clean but apparently it sits too high which does not allow it to fire... Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!
Pull the positive post out of the KFL completely. Remove the round insulator that is inside the base. Fish out the o-ring kit that came with the KFL & put the tiny o-ring made for the fill screw on the post & reassemble.
Just make sure you get the positive block on straight & the pin pretty snug when you reassemble.

I SO don't want to do that but I've spent the bucks on black KFL, black 'Vari, and black ring and it fires (barely) with no ring. With a ring it's a no-go. I guess I need to do some type of ceremonial dance before I try the o-ring thing. LOL
While not a KFL, this is what the non-adjustable pin looks like. Externally, they look identical.
Here's what you're dealing with. All you need is a pair of pliers & a screwdriver.
You can remove the post easy enough with just the screwdriver. Just make sure the o-ring goes between the post & the white insulator. When you put it back together, get the post started in the positive block, then use the pliers to snug it up without allowing the block to turn. You have to make sure that block and the upper insulator stays inline with the negative block.
It's really easy.
Mad Vapes has a tiny little fuse they sell that you can insert in the mod to raise the pin a hair. At 89 cents each, it could be worthwhile. One of my ProV's pin is set a hair lower and I've enjoyed this little fix.
Don't know what to tell you about the ring, though. I'm generally happiest with Sotang, Original Kayfun and Unknown manufacturer. I don't think any of those come in black.

As in the positive block coming loose? Not if you use the pliers. If you get it nice & snug, it'll actually help it from coming loose.
