You guys have issues with losing connection due to a loose part in the base? I had that happen and it had me all confused. Honestly, it makes me feel a little less proud to own this thing. My KFL worked for months and months, and still works, and all I had to do was change the coil. That's it. This K4 is a whole different beast and literally stopped working after about a week. Its nice, but stuff comes loose. Might have to use Loctite.
I think they may have bit off more than they can chew design wise. Its just about too complicated to work reliably.

Are you referring to UC counter screw (A9)? It happen to me once or twice which i suspect cause by open & closing Liquid Control repeatedly.
I've been using it a month and i find the spring & Liquid Control is the big problem. I build my coil at 1.5 ohm and every time I turn off or on the Liquid Control, my ohm jump 1.5 -1.7 ohm. While vaping my ohm also jump 1.5-1.6 or 1.6-1.7.
Now even worst, every time I clean my k4 to change flavor / rewick, my Liquid Control become harder to turn. It's no longer smooth. It's feel's like the metal is grinding inside. I can see some dark stuff on the spring & inside which i think it was cause by the grinding. So I decide to change the o-ring and it went smooth again.
I bought Kayfun 4 spare kit 1 without the 2 & 3 then I realize something, the spare kit are incomplete. the spare kit 1 is short of 1 o-ring (17x1) for the A6. And the spare kit 2 is waste of money or rip off. The insulator A10 do wear off over time (mine already starting to wear off) but the UC counter nut, you don't need to replace it unless you lost it. They should have include the A10 insulator in the spare kit 1 and swap the Air Regulation Screw (B13) & Build Screw (B21-24) in the spare kit 2.
I also experience leaking from tank's bottom o-ring recently. Since I've already bought the spare kit 1 so might as well change the tank o-ring and see what happen.

I own a KFL+ v2 before I bought the K4. I've vaping for 6 month with KFL+ v2 with stangray mod. I was eye-ing on the ProVari 2.5 then the P3 came so I bought it. My vaping experience change, quality vape every puff. Then my KFL+ v2 giving me problem - leaking through the air draw control, leaking while i left it in the car and the worst leaking non stop leaking when I drove up a mountain. I also experiencing my Japanese Cotton wick keep breaking in the coil after 1-2 ml vape. I thought to myself, I need a new RTA. I almost bought the Russian91 which there is no air draw control at the bottom then the Kayfun 4 release with liquid control (solve the leaking), any time access to the coil (can check if wick break) and the plus - easy fill.
One think i notice between the KFL+ v2 & K4 is that the K4 juice doesn't change color but the KFL+ v2 do.

Hey guys I'm back! Need to catch up on things and read some of these posts on the new k4. I will catch up but for those, like me, that have and love the regular kayfuns, is the 4 alot better? I'm going to be purchasing an authentic here soon, would of done it sooner but just been so busy at work, I haven't had time for anything.

Welcome back vapdivrr! Long time, no type.

Do you also find that the KFL wicks tend to get more stained or burnt than the KF4 wicks? That will obviously colour the juice in the evaporation chamber and it can mix with the juice in the tank.

Running the same juice, my KF3.1 coil and wicks at 1.2ohms will get blackened far more quickly than those in the KF4 at 0.6. After 3 tanks through the KF4 I checked the wicks out of interest today and they and the coil barely look used. I'm honestly not sure why that is as I would have expected the much lower ohms to cause more build up on the coil.

I bought mine from Cloud9Vaping the day of release and my serial # is 05837 and your serial# is 005837. That's strange, or is it just me?
...and my picture is somewhere in this thread.


Sorry friend Viper...
It looks like you got a clone.
I sincerely hope you didn't pay full price...
In the meantime, if you're looking for a guaranteed authentic, Cloud9 has them back in stock.
