Way to go Rob!

This is probably is most jealous I've ever been on this forum ;)

Looking forward to your reviews. Let us know should you get the impulse to try the Kayfun again. Should be good practice for when the Russian arrives.

Sorry to create the green monster @Reinvanhardt ... I'm just hoping an original won't be a leak fest like my Kayfun... not sure I'm gonna try again with the KFL+ unless I get some VG from Dischem. ;)

I got myself a KFL 3.1 clone, build it twice and had to fill the fill hole with bloody prestic so it don't leak and then I had very frustrating issues getting the catch cup back on. It's now lying in my drawer. Won't touch it!
I never had any of that crap issues with the original Kayfun lite. It just works!
 
It's starting to look like the major issue with clones is consistency. My KFL+ clone also from the same batch from VapeKing is performing like a champ. My wife is even starting to think about switching to one.
 
Also never had problems with clone KFL
 
I have the rocket, which is pretty much the same as the KF and the Russian. I had a lot of leaking issues through the air holes. but i eventually got a coil build right and the leaking stopped. I still got some gurgling when it was banging around in my pocket, but no leaking. on my russian clone, there is no leaking..period.
 
On my Kayfun 3.1 clone i got in Feb I do have some issues

- occasional drop or two leaks out of the liquid fill hole on the side
- sometimes when trying to take off the base cup the whole screw thing comes off with it. Then the coil decks are loose. Tricky to put it back together

But i dont travel with it, this device stays at home for the occasional higher power treat
 
if you dont mind, what did it cost you?

An arm and a leg! :eek: But I also bought one for a mate to share shipping with and a few other nik naks as well!

OMG I tried to cut and past the whole order to show but the foums hate anything from Microsoft.
The Russian's were $92-50, Shipping $45 and the IGO-W $15-99.

I just hope it comes direct to my door and the documentation and Vat doesn't add on too much like it always does!

lekker man @Rob Fisher

im sure i dont need to remind you to post a review once you get it.

would be nice to see the difference between the original and clone

Big time... I can tell you right away that it's gonna be way better... the clone I have is Leaky Leakerson and is for show only and not for actual use!

leaky leakerson, sounds like someone i used to know LOL
 
so i noticed something strange lately, when i remove my tank to refill (from the bottom) i notice theres some juice around the inside bottom of the tank.

anyone else experience the same?
 
oh yes, and another thing, i decided to remove the air control screw completely last night and since then the juice is tasting a little burnt. i tried lowering the watts, but still the same.

any advice?
 
@Riaz Hey buddy, I have a new Russian and so far performing well and no leaks. Maybe put a pic on so we can take a look and make suggestions.

hey buddy

the main reason i dont post pics is coz im using a crapberry, so all my coils and stuff are generally not posted on the site

i need to get a new phone

ill try and post a pic and see what happens
 
i think i completely lost my touch at building coils.

i decided to recoil the russian on friday night and man oh man did i suck at it

i was aiming to get a microcoil at 1ohm

took me a darn long time with zero result. i then decided to call it a day (at 1.30am)

at 6am i was up again, and decided to give it another shot

my coils kept on coming out at 2ohms +

im using 30g kanthal, and tried many different id sizes (between 1.5 and 2mm)

i think the issue came in when heating the coil and pressing together.

i then decided to do a twisted coil, and bam first time out, coil came to 0.8ohms (which at this point- 9am on saturday morning) i was happy with.

i dont particularly enjoy it, coz it gives a very warm vape but now im a bit two minded to redo the coil again.

as a side note, my wife wasnt very impressed with my behavior and thats also why i just kept the twisted coil.

where did i go wrong?

i should also add that i dont have a decent blow torch to torch the coil and press together. what i did was attached the coil to the base, to the nemesis and then work from there.

i need to make a 1ohm microcoil, and i need your guys help please.
 
if you have a Android device download Vaper's Toolbox. Insert what wire gauge you are using, what type of wire like single or tripple twisted and ohms you are looking for, next screen you insert what id your wraps will be coiled around and BAM it shows you how many wraps to get to the Ohms you inserted.

The 30G shouldn't be as bad as the thinner stuff but if you still keep a lighter around, flaming it until it glows red (it happens pretty fast) is the same as using the blow torch. I flame before the time to get the springiness out of the wire ahead of the build. Not sure how may coils you need with 30G but I'm assuming 5 or so is right? The tweezer press at the end will only help to tightenh the 2 outer most coils so keep them tight during the roll and that's all I'm good for :p.

I agree about the heat, I'm also not used to it. Running a dual at 1.3/4 ohms on the svd and for the first time its not burnt and I can use a full 15w but Yoh! My throat is a bit sore form that vape back down to like 3.2V and its still hotter than I like.

Has anyone pulled a Russian 91% Tobeco apart? I have a loose post (the thicker one with bottom insulator {positive?}) and it is wreaking some havoc with ohm fluctuations, I'm sure volt / watt delivery as well. How can I tighten this bugger up, the coil screw doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. As it stands I won't be able to use this on a mech, as there is a shorting risk.

Help?

F
