SvoёMesto KAYFUN 4

[Junny89]

I had a kayfun lite clone and it leaked as well. Got an authentic Russian 91% and haven't had one leak. It's my experience that clones leak much more than authentics. Although I've never owned an authentic kayfun and I realize the Russian is sort of a clone but you get the point.

I've kind of realised clones suck and are no comparison to the original. So tend to buy originals now.

Something like a Russian is an exception but yeah I agree for the most part

My 5 original KFL+s were great right out of the box.

Clones are great too ... if you want to:

- drill out air holes,
- enlarge juice channels,
- upgrade screws,
- change out dry cheap o-rings,
- smooth out crunchy threads
- find washers to use when the 510 doesn't make a connection
- and soak and scrub to get rid of the horrible machine oil taste

Really? Been there, done all that, and personally, I'm sooooo over it. I'm sure there's more but as always, choice is individual.

ETS:
- chimney stack too short or too long
- leakage
- drip tips don't fit .........

Don't have my KFv4 in my hands yet, but I will say that the only thing that cheeses me off is the fact that they didn't use a PEEK insulator right out of the box. I understand that it isn't "needed" given that you shouldn't really be sub-ohming or doing anything crazy with the device. I plan to use mine exclusively with nickel builds with temperature control, so the lack of a PEEK piece obviously isn't a deal breaker. But just the fact that the are selling, on launch day, an upgraded insulator for the standard positive post, makes me a little crazy. Including it would have broken the pricing? Come on.

I'm totally with you on that. If there was a choice - and they're selling it separately - not good. It should've either been OEM fit, or included in the spares baggy. Not a deal breaker - but bugs me nonetheless!

@ultrabadger...

Have you had any ice cream at Babcock Hall lately or a brat on State Street?

I never understood what they meant by batches. Do you?

Does it mean they can ship only so much weight in a given shipment (batch) or per day, or ???

Is that the 4s air hole upgrade? I didn't see any peek insulator at C9V?

I've had some great clones and I've had some crappy ones. I've owned some great originals and some crappy ones too. Same goes for mods.

One thing I've come to realize is the amount of money spent has very little to do with how it performs. The Lemo is an excellent example. That said I would never consider a Kayfun V4 clone or even an original, too tall and too many parts.

Cellphone double post. Sorry.

Intaste shipping info states Germany has a law they can not ship more than 3k euros of product a day.

Funny, my Lemos are the tallest tanks I own, even in hybrid mode.

Yes, it is the 4S kit. It is a two piece kit and consists of:

1) The 2.7mm Centrepost
2) The PEEK insulator

Sorry to .... in here, but yes.
The 4S kit includes a different center pin, and a PEEK insulator.
I'm with the people who are bothered by the fact that SM didn't go with PEEK insulators from the get-go...
"Hey let's use nothing but the best materials for the whole thing, except one of the most crucial parts...we can just skimp on that."

Yes they are and one of my only gripes. I just the "nano" version yesterday and so far I'm really liking it.

Lucky you didn't get the SQuape-R

K'fun MINI is the tallest atty thus far imo, with SqR being the second (at just a 0.7mm shorter)!

Yes i agree with that. I ended up buying it too, the 4s kit.

Squape r is big, but the normal drip tip is long too. Still love it though
