Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

If I remember right, you vape at 10-12 watts, MTL with stock Center Post, and relatively thin juice, which is apples to oranges from what some of us are wanting from this atty.
I couldn't agree more.
Although, I did have a defective kayfunmods bellcap that leaked like a sieve. I repaired it and it performs like any other tank now.
1.3-1.4 ohms, 10-11watts, lung hits on stock post, 70pg/30vg.
Same applies to my KFLs, except I've bored out my center posts just a bit.
Lower watts and a lot runnier juice than quite a few of us prefer.
Me, I can't stand PG, use as little as possible, my ratios is just the opposite of yours as a minimum acceptable juice, even though it makes wicking more challenging.
And I like a warm vape and VG vaporizes at a higher temp than PG, so my 1.4 ohm build would be running at 15w at a minimum, also providing a wicking challenge.
And I don't like restrictive hits, so I run the 4S kit (and it's still tighter than I really like), which will pull less vacuum.
See where this is going?

I'm not tempted to even try the 4S kit, even though I bought two. About middle range is where I like my air flow. I much prefer MTL over lung hits for many reasons, taste, throat sensation, psychological. My personal issue is getting enough juice flow, not air flow.
So this seems like the best place to ask. I'm beating my head against a wall. I've been using my k4 for a few months now. I think I got it around 1/1. Until about 2 weeks ago I was loving it. Occasional flooding but usually due to laziness of not closing off juice when refilling. I could live with it.
Nothing has changed at all. I'm confident in saying so. Now all of a sudden I'm getting dry hits almost all of the time. It's to the point where I'm either cracking the top to let a burp out or covering the air holes and sucking to prime it.
I am stumped. I've wicked this thing about 5 million times. I know it's not that. It's almost like the juice holes are getting stopped up. Last time I took out the deck and blew that part out and it helped for about 2 hours. Then back to the same problem.
I apologize if this has been said. There are 5153 before me and I'm posting at 4:30 am because I'm freaking swamped busy with life right now. Just looking for some good input please and thank you.

What VG/PG ratio are you using?
Wicking material?
Is it an original K4?
I have not had an issue with mine yet, I vape 50/50. I use Japanese cotton, and the ends touch the base enough to wick the eliquid. Also I do mouth to lung, and have the airflow set to a tighter draw.
The vets are on during dayshift.
I'm still relatively new when it comes to the K4 but it seems I've read this before. All of a sudden someone has wicking problems where they've never had them before. I could see the tiny juice holes becoming blocked. My only recommendation when be a complete tear down and a good soak for a while, like a first time cleaning and see if that solves your wicking problems. Maybe you've already tried that, but If nothing else has changed, I can't imagine what it would be?
Might need another good cleaning making sure to get those liquid feeds. Not just blown out but wiped. And try to stop messing up when filling. Your liquid might clog too easily.
Besides the inputs of others before me you also might be having trouble opening the JC completely (you may think it is fully open, but it might not be) thus improper juice feed.
Or, there's a thinner wick in the coil. I have done that sometimes due to over confidence
and my atty would kick me back!
So here's my adventure with the KF4.....
First original KF i bought, and an expensive one, had a lot of learning to do and once i figured it all out (i thought) this thing still gets me mad sometimes. Since i don't want to take this mod to work i bought an inexpensive clone...... works better then the original !!!! Same setup, same resistence, same wicking material, go figure this out.
So back on the learning curve with this expensive puzzle. IF it works its very good but when it stops working due to dry hits, i just change it to another tank and when i get a chance i make it work again. NEVER could have a full tank with this thing without dry-hits. Tried several builds, wicks and other things but this is NOT my go-to tank for sure. Using 50/50 juice so it shouldn't be doing this. My clone, works all day, tank after tank, sure i have the ohm's fluctuation problem but solved with a diferent spring and not using the adjustment screw for the 510 connection but it works !!!!!
I think it's time to sell this while i still can get a decent price for it otherwise it will go into a drawer soon. I have regretted buying this and will never buy one again.

I think I have to repost it here as well...
I have no issues with folks using counterfeits (clones as we call it here) if that is what the guy can afford to remain off cigarettes (tho I'd've loved him/her using a Lemo 2, Kanger Sub etc.instead). But going ahead and singing praises for the fake, not to mention bashing the original authentic product, is what irks me to the bone. Now come on, have a heart!
Counter argument: "This is an authentic Infinite". Jeez

I hope someone at SvoeMesto reads this thread and gets a few hints as to people's issues and decides to alter a few things. It's easy enough to dremel out a previous KF's juice channels for more flow, but modding the KF4 is not so easy.
EDIT: I'm all for originals as well (though I still own a few clones, even if I never use them anymore), Q, but if someone finds a clone works better for them than the original product, well, I don't know what to say. If that's the way it is then so be it. Of course ideally it shouldn't be this way, but you can't begrudge someone for using what they prefer.
Honestly I'm a sorry for the KF4 in some ways. So many clones, and undoubtedly more clone owners than original owners. And this huge current trend towards the mass manufactured sub ohm atties. Having tried a couple it's not my style, but certainly it's some peoples. Then there's the cheap KF style big airflow RTA's like the Goblin, Orchid, and now the Cthulhu.
I had hoped that the KF4 would be a game changer and hugely popular, but trends seem to have gone elsewhere. I hope that it lasts and slowly gains in popularity as time goes on and current competitors go out of style.

I can't agree more with this.
And having the mentality that a clone performs the same or better that the original, when the quality control is not the same, material quality and safety are not the same, etc.
In the end, performance is more on the build and builders experience, period.
Supporting clones is supporting theft, preventing innovation, and putting vaping at risk in the end.
I can agree on having one if that's what's available and there's nothing more, but as you said there's lots of cheap originals with great quality. Having the latest and greatest is NOT part of the smoke free journey.
Before we get too carried away with the clone/authentic discussion (which always ends ugly)....

The clones I buy are proven to work as well as the authentic. The theft is charging $180 for a $20 tank.
