Kayfun V4

Apparently there is a dual coil "KIT" you can get, either now or later on not sure, which I would hope will address the airflow. Not seen it or heard anything else about it so no idea what it would adjust on the standard base.

 

there isn't a dual coil kit...the kayfun 4 is already set up for dual or single coils. There are two posts on either side of the atty with the hole in the middle. They are shipping a full kit that also contains a metal tank, pyrex tank and a polycarbonate tank.

 

From the OP:

There will be two air channel kits to choose from...

So it is possible one of those kits splits the airflow for dual coils. The way they write it is kind of ambiguous, I guess we won't know what the deal is until we see it.

 

From everything I have seen including the deck it's dual use single or dual coil. With the posts on both sides they share the single airflow hole which looks larger. I had heard about something with the airflow but it wasn't a separate deck but a separate ring for those that sub ohm, the second air flow ring would have larger holes in it. I guess we will find out soon enough.

 

I don't know if this has been posted and I can't be stuffed going through teh posts to see. lol

Release date for the Kayfun V4 is meant to be the first week in December. Reportedly the 6th.

 

Thanks for reminding us Longtail, I posted this in a earlier post. I can't wait, December will be a very interesting time for all us vapers.

Some new images.

Todd review

 

Thanks for sharing, Scooby! Was just a little disappointing that Todd made no mention about quality of materials and things like the threading but from what I can see it looks excellent. Too bad about the AFC control but I guess once you have it set to how you like there's probably not going to be a need for a lot of adjusting anyway. Little knock too on the post screw downs. Best news for me was his remarking that the flavor is excellent and an improvement on the earlier versions. He highly recommended.

 

I'm sure once the optional kit start coming out most everyone will find a happy configuration. Good thing I can't buy anything till next year, by that time I'll have a lot to choice from Kayfun4, Aqua V2, LEMO V2, Orchid V6, Bellow by EhPro and on and on. This is going to be very interesting time.

 

Not happy about the airflow control...I think they really dropped the ball there.

 

Before I saw his review I was super excited about this. Having seen it, I'm considerably less excited. I'm a Kayfun guy, I'm sure I'd like it, but I think the juice control looks like a big pain in the ass. Whats the point with the juice control anyway, who has ever said "I need less juice to my coil"? MAYBE if you were using a mesh wick or something, but I just don't see any need in something like this, and its a really in-your-face feature. I feel like I'd always be wondering if I had it open all the way.

It looks like they made the insulator for the build deck L-shaped, so that's kind of nice. At least the positive connection shouldn't spin around and short like the old one. I still think they could have come up with something else, there are better materials they could have used that wouldn't be so likely to melt. Even worse, now there's a spring inside, so possible conductivity issues and collapsed springs if it gets shorted. I don't like springs anywhere in my circuit. I'm just really hoping it doesn't screw with nickel builds for the DNA-40.

The AFC screw, yeah they botched that one big time. For me personally it isn't an issue since I'll never adjust the airflow on a Kayfun, but what the hell is the point of hiding it under the 510 screw. Leave out the flow control and spin the ring for airflow, that makes way more sense.

 

I think the main purpose of the juice control is so you can turn off the juice and remove the build deck to re-wick or re-build for whatever reason...it still seems like a rather odd way of going about it though

 

I rather liked the juice control config with it. Yes, part of purpose is to remove the deck and rebuild or to change to on of the other base configs. I think it could also be helpful for wick feeding when switching between juices for ex. 50/50 to a high or max VG. I've used that feature on the Rose V2 quite a bit as my higher VG juices had some difficulty feeding with juice control in standard setting.

That AFC control though....agree with you guys on that. Didn't catch the bit about a spring...I don't like that much either.

 

Closing the juice control doesn't affect the tank though, your juice will still be open to the air once you take the tank off. Yeah, I can kind of see using it to cut off the flow while you're top filling, but screwing on the top cap will still pressurize the tank slightly, so you would still have the same issue once you opened the juice control back up again. Not that its really an issue.

Scratchy, how does your Rose V2 handle 50/50 juice when the flow control is all the way open? From my experience, as long as the wick is covering the juice holes flooding is never an issue, these kind of attys will work from negative pressure. So then, what is the point of the "standard" setting, which in reality would be a choked-off flow. Seriously asking, not being a smartass.

As far as the spring goes, it sits around the airflow control screw and makes contact with the 510 screw, which lets the 510 be adjustible. I'd much rather have something more like the Russian 91%, a screw within a screw, so there is positive contact along the electrical path. The only time I think its OK is when they do it like the spring-loaded pin in the Vapor Shark (and others), where the pin is soldered to the wire, but the spring lets it move. This way current isn't passing through the spring.
