"The Russian" 91% (Kayfun Lite Clone With A Twist)

[thomasjames0]

I just noticed the link looks silly. it says Ithaka Rebuidable...lame

Happy Friday everyone. So I found that Discount Vapers has the ehpro kayfun lite clone in stock. As of 5.30pm west coast time he has 45 in stock. So i am thinking. If i end up liking this one i think i will cancel my vaportek R91 order.

Ithaka Rebuildable Atomizer - Kayfun Clone by ehPro - Rebuildable Atomizer

you know, that's tempting but, i want that airflow control. it's the only thing that's keeping from canceling my preorder!

 

[thomasjames0]

I hear ya Nelson. If I end up liking the ehpro clone I will prolly just keep the R91 too. The adjustable airflow is prolly gonna be the feature that makes me keep it. Plus, I'm sure the parts will interchange with eachother which could make for some interesting aesthetic combinations.

The kit doesn't seem to come with a screwdriver that will handle the blue screw?!

Seems my Provari reads different resistances based on movement of the red screw...out to far resistance goes up .2-.3, out just far enough to make contact it drops back down (1.7-2.0)

I'm sure you can easily solve the problem of imperfect electrical contact. If you look closely at the picture (and especially at screw marked by red arrow) you will see a very small o-ring (perhaps you've got 3-4 o-rings of the same kind in your kit). You just need to add one or two o-rings on the screw. In this way the threads will stiffen and you have a good electrical contact.

I'll give it a shot brother, didn't know what those things were for!

I am in stalking mode already.The 91% will be here with todays mail,it was overnighted from phoenix,i guess they up'd the shipping because of the long delay on pre-orders.I mixed up 30ml's of some extremely tastey juice and counting down,

From VT site... Looks like the end of Oct. now.

SEE UPDATE BELOW!

UPDATE: We update when we get updates from the manufacturer regarding the Russian DIY and the Russian 91. We were first told that they would ship at the end of September. China is on Holiday from Oct 1-7. When they get back we will be messaging them immediately to try to pin down a definitive date for them to be shipping to us. We are at the mercy of the manufacturer when it comes to shipping and manufacturing times. We have no control over this issue and as always you have the option to cancel. This is a high demand product and when a manufacturer is inundated with orders the wait time can be extensive. Other vendors in the USA are gradually getting theirs and we hope to be shipped to real soon. There are no issues regarding us getting these other than waiting for manufacturing times and shipping times. We are sorry for the delay as much as you are and are ready to clear these orders from our system. We are given an initial ESTIMATED ship time on certain items and it seems to be very consistent with high demand products like the Russian that the wait time is longer than the manufacturer presents to us. We feel you will be very happy vapers when you get this in your hand.

10/9/2013 UPDATE!!

Ok.. RUSSSSSSSIAN UPDATES, OHM METERS, AND CELTIC CROSS so here is some good news and some bad news!! I would like to of posted yesterday but I have been in some extensive conversation with Kebo and the developer in Germany for the Russian product. The bottom line is they are backed up! According to Kebo, this is a complex product to manufacture and it has taken longer than they expected. I honestly feel they were not prepared for the bombardment of orders. They have extended our lead time til the end of the month. We are hoping earlier but I am going to have to say the end of this month. I spoke with the guys in Germany that developed the product and hired Kebo to manufactured the product. The rest assured the orders will be fulfilled and were very apologetic for the delay in manufacturing. We are not happy with the amount of time that this has taken. I know you guys are not happy either. We will continue to do our job and message with them daily to see if we can get more updates. This is not just a VT USA problem. If you read in forums you will see this is an across the board problem across the vaping community. I have no doubt that when they are delivered there will be some happy vapers. Hang in there with us and we will get these delivered to you. We have actually waited longer for other pre orders and people seem to forget the lead time when they finally get there product.

What they left off that update,the reason it has taken longer is,because of VT's low price they charged for the units.They were black flagged by Kebo and the manufacturing and orders stopped until they cleared it up.Correct me if i am wrong,if that had not happened VT would have been getting shipping notices now too?

The 91% has landed I will post picks later after I take it apart and clean it and put the first build on it.Edit: This thing comes completely disassembled.The tank part is screwed together and on base.Everything else has to be assembled,all the screws insulators,washers and positive post with insulators.By the time your done with that your eyes are really not ready to build a coil.This RTA is small you won't believe your eyes when you first see it up close.

It looks like after vaporteks last update on the R91 some people starting to cancel their preorders. As of right now it looks like 6 are available if anyone is interested.

 

[Innocuous]

"available" are thousands - hehe! How many are "in hand"? meatspace? in-stock?

At least I hope Bucky will end up getting his shipment fairly soon...

At least the Vochu Kayfun conversion kit is finally wrapping up huh? I'm glad I went for one more kit. This will more than likely be the end of them for a good while, if ever again.

I think even the Russian 91% couldn't be much better. The Vochu kit has the Kayfun deck / build design, juice control, air control, adjustable center pin, an O-ring sealing juice from entering the base, etc.. The only negative that I have is the damn lip on the Term C's 510 base leaving a small gap when used. Otherwise, it's been a damn good vape for months now.

Just hacked my mech to enable a flush term-c and airflow..

Yeah, I was just considering a 2nd Naughyfun when the PM arrived - so, I am trapped. I did ask to be informed if there were spares, but figure the odds.

Currently, I plan to stuff it in the Ithaka - I am tired of fighting duals and weird leakage. The term-c just continues to perform time after time after time. I still need to order ONE more tank-section: the bottom female/female to "repair" the term-c - the clear tank decided to ignore the CA and epoxy and just fall apart.

With the Term-c v2, the Naughtyfun/ithaka, and a 91% - I think I've pretty much finished with atomizer-buys.

The tank sections look to be a different color... Different metal perhaps?

Maybe so,i had just got done washing the entire device and i think after drying the tank sections off,it cleared off the machine oil on them.The metal tank section(for the plastic)did not change though.It still looks sweet.The deck on this thing is so tiny it is almost hard to connect the coils.Everything you see on videos looks larger than it is for some reason???
