Yeah, I had a little trouble with the JC at first myself. I'm just so used to righty tighty, lefty loosy. Doesn't take too many floods to learn which way is the correct way though.

Thanks for the laugh and not making feel alone on this one
Do you realize how many people will not get a K4 (or rebuildable) because it is too intimidating to them? Anyone who plunges in and gives it a try is deserving of respect.

I've had newbies ask about my K4, but I steered them away from it: The frustration could drive a non-smoker to smoke! Even us veterans have had difficulties with these things...just ask AngiBe

So, new to the thread but not the Kayfun. I received my Kayfun 4 yesterday and had it for less than 24 hours then accidentally lost the bottom insulator in my car rendering it useless, I suck
My two builds were Japanese cotton and a spaced 8 wrap screw build of 28awg ni200 on a DNA40. My ohms came out around .14ish or so. Before the second build I took the atomizer apart again, this time I took the base apart and noticed some sort of lubricant perhaps, it was clear and thin, and greasy. I cleaned it all off the best I could thinking this might be why it's not tasting good, somehow that lubricant is heating and creating a odd taste. So I rebuilt it and I'm still getting the same type of flavor. Not entirely sure why I am not getting close to a good flavor from this device.
Now my atomizer is sitting here staring at me because I lost the teeny tiny insulator that's super slippery. It shot out of my fingertips like a cannon, I swear it lol, my fault for sure. I planned to build a kanthal coil to see if I got different results but now I'm stuck until the spares come in, which I should have ordered from the start, and honestly, for the price of this atomizer and all atomizers, o-rings and tiny insulators and screws should come free as spares. I mean really, these things cost pennies and I have to spend $17 shipped to replace that tiny plastic insulator? I have 3 different tanks to choose from but no little replacements? I'm irritated.
Anyway, in conclusion, has anyone had this experience with the colored flavor, not a lack of flavor but a weird flavor?
You have to clean off the machine oil,maybe order a clone from FT,it comes with spare parts and you will have a clone for back up.
Which sounded really odd at the beginning and now make total sense.
Sent with no malice and not a whole lot of forethought from my new Galaxy Tab 4. Thanks Santa!
This is really the long and the short of it I think. When I put the 4s kit in I started having issues with wicking.
It has been a bit better today. Filling the tank to about 3/4 instead of all the way seems to help. Wicking gets better as I progress through a tank.
Nonetheless I think the stock airflow center post is going back in on the next rebuild. Opening up the airflow doesn't do a whole lot of good if you can't get enough juice to the coil to keep it properly fed.

I get what you're saying, but I think for me, my newness actually helped. I have only had one other rebuildable before the K4, I am ignorant of all of the simpler units. My issues were all about wicking, and the K4 is so easy for my set up and liquid it's all most fool proof. I now have been playing around with the Erlk, and it's actually more intimidating even though more simple in construction.
To the person who lost the insulator, Vaperev sells a complete repair kit with o rings, insulators and screws. Also, FT sells 5 packs of the insulators cheap. The FT ones won't be Svoemesto, obviously, but I'm sure they work just fine. They also sell the post screws, extra tanks, etc. I'm going to get a black glass one and black plastic one.
Ty Angie, just an FYI this is the black one. I got the tinted one too, but it's very light smoke and in my opinion not all that diff from the included clear. Just letting everyone know if they want to order.
I do have the Vaperev repair kit, and I ordered the FT insulators as well so I can let everyone know when they get here if they seem good quality.
I do have some extra clear glass tanks from FT and they seem fine. Smooth edges, etc.
I like to stock up on extra pieces parts just in case
And it might be silly, but I like the colors you can get sometmes with the clone replacement tanks. I saw a purple bell cap on someone's k4, and admit it was pretty. I might get that, too.

PURPLE???!!!!?? I need to check that out! Wonder if they are glass?
ETA...just filled up the K4 for this first time and happy to report I didn't spill juice every where..shocking. But between tighty righty and to take a tank off, remember to turn right..if I messed up again, I should have to sell this thing due to ignorance.
Just think of it like this maybe. When you screw it on your device, you're opening it and when you remove it, you're closing it???
No, all the bell tanks are plastic due to them being threaded. But, yes, FT has several colors on those and the tall plastic tanks, and the glass tanks.
These guys also have colored Pyrex tanks for the K4, and matching drip tips. #29 for the K4.
Tanks - Spectrum Tanks
Tanks - Spectrum Tanks
I too find it wicks better as the juice level goes down.
What's that drip tip, Mtek? I'm looking for one that has similar dimensions to the SM tip but without the diagonal swirls.
I seem to recall someone saying that the Fasttech coloured glass tanks were actually painted on the outside and the paint / glaze would rub off.
