Lol was getting my daughter ready for bed, we were brushing our teeth

Well i missed this one lol feeding my kid spaghetti

That is some kind of different taste lol. Needs some spice to it.

Got iStick #3 in today. It is the 30 watt version. It does have a spring loaded 510 and the threads also look great! I also got my much needed coils for my Delta 19.

The clone market is making an impact on the big guys. Making products cheaper for us

Original is by steam angel technology

This one for you Tam lol

It's his phone. I had the same problem with my last phone. Putting in broke image links

It got a large battery for a small package

I've been obsessed with youtubeing my favorite mst3k episodes.

I finally paid my 200,000 debt off with last year. Maybe I can come ahead now

My mail-lady knows when I'm expecting vape-mail... I usually am going down the driveway before she can open the mailbox

I'm still expecting a package from Fasttech, but I have serious doubts it will arrive before the weather starts to get warmer, lol... But, hey, I spent $15 and bought what would have cost me $90 from a US vendor, so I guess that's the price of saving a few big bucks...

Another RTA competing the league of drippers. Looks promising but not much on it atm. Currently sold out

A bigger, badder iStick with extended output range, subohm capabilities and a HUGE battery capacity!

It would take something pretty awesome to beat the original iStick. Enter the iStick 50w:
•4400mAh battery capacity is enough to keep you vaping all day, if not longer.
•SubOhm capabilities means that blowing big clouds is no problem!
•Extended voltage / wattage range gives you unparalleled control over your vapor's flavor, intensity and warmth.

Okay, I received my Kayfun V4 (AMOD Clone) today, and here's my initial impressions, and review after the first 6-hours with it....

Unboxing -

The box, paperwork, even the "100% Genuine Svoemesto" seal make the clone look authentic. The only thing missing was the authentication scratch-off... that is, if the original even has one?

The Kayfun looks beautiful! It is well machined, smooth lines and looks sexy. It is also HEAVY!

The kit includes spare o-rings, screws, silver-plated spring, polycarbonate M-tank, REAL glass insert, and a couple of pre-wrapped 32ga coils over silica wick. They even included a key-chain screwdriver (instead of the crappy blue ones)

Inspection -

Machining of all parts is superb! All threads are clean and smooth. No sharp edges or rough-spots like typically found on clones. All o-rings are snug-fit, no burs, or irregularities.

Initial Build -

Even though this deck has 4 posts/screws, it is DESIGNED for SINGLE-COILS. The additional screws are to aid in mounting, using diagonal posts, to accommodate both clockwise and counter-clockwise wound coils. Yes, you can build dual-coils on it, but the deck is still small, so keep that in mind.

I built a 28ga, 1.4 Ohm coil for my first build. There are warnings in the manual to not go below 1.0 Ohm, I assume because you could damage/melt the insulators? So, if you plan to try dual-coil, keep that in mind.

I found my first issue with the deck screws... the heads are TINY, so I had some difficulty working the 28ga wire under the heads and getting them tight. Smaller wire may work better, but if you're planning to use 26 or larger gauge wire, you may want to invest in tiny washers?

There is no top-chimney to attach, so you can wick the coil with the lower chimney/shield in place (kinda nice). Stuffing the cotton down onto the deck to cover the juice ports is much easier on the V4, because the entire deck is a tiny bit wider, and the ports are taller, so there is less depth to cover.

Assembly of the tank is a breeze since there is one nut at the top, and you can get a good grip on the entire tank body to tighten things together. Insert the deck on the bottom and screw it snug.

Here's the tricky part... closing the juice flow required the use of a tiny screwdriver inserted into one of the holes to use as a prybar to break it loose the first time... after that, it was much easier to work with. Now that it is closed, pop the screw portion which holds the drip-tip, and fill the tank. Re-attach the drip-tip section and open the juice flow... a few dry-drags on the tank, and the cotton is properly saturated (if you didn't pre-saturate).

Out of the box, the air-flow control was wide-open, and after a couple of good hits on the tank (at 12W) I ended up with a dry hit and fried my cotton... NO PROBLEM... Turn it upside down, remove the deck, re-wick, re-attach the deck and you're ready to go again in 90-seconds. Try that with a full tank on an older Kayfun/Russian

To adjust the air-flow, you have to remove the 510 connection pin... don't worry, it's not attached to the deck! Pop out the 510 pin (and insulator if your screwdriver is not small enough), and insert a tiny flat-head screwdriver... you'll find the air-flow control screw up there! Take a few drags on the tank while you adjust the screw... once you have it set where you want it, re-assemble the 510 connection pin (don't forget the insulator!!!).

Conclusion -

Overall, I give it 4.5 stars out of 5.

I would like it if the juice-flow-control section had a better grip, but it is getting easier to work with, even after a few hours. I would also like the air-flow control screw to be more accessible, but once you set it where you want it, you'll likely not be needing to adjust very often.

Flavor is exactly what you'd expect from a Kayfun/Russian style tank. I find little difference between the V4 and my Russian 91% when using the same juice, same Ohm coil, and same Wattage settings. So, no, there is no "wow factor"...

I do like the adjustable 510 pin
I do like the fact I can fill the tank without needing a screwdriver or needle-tip bottle
I do like the fact I can turn off the juice-flow to eliminate leakage when not being used or being transported
I do like the fact this tank does NOT whistle
I do like the additional screws/posts on the build-deck to accommodate more than your standard coil builds
I do love the fact I can get to the build-deck without having to drain the tank and make a mess


Bottom line is that this RTA is a winner in my book, and if you are tired of dealing with tools to fill and adjust your older Kayfun/Russian RTA's, you may want to consider stepping up to this model. If you've been thinking about getting an RTA, but were on the fence because they are "hard to learn"... this RTA will change your mind quickly!

I remember the day I watched this. Two day leave in army. Enjoyed it

If it lives up to it's specs it will be an absolute winner. So many improvements over the original iStick.

Seems perfect for the new vaper, nothing else to buy (batteries, chargers etc.) or worry about. Truly plug&play. And at 50W and .2Ω capability, most vapers will never outgrow it.

At the rate this industry is growing there is no telling what our devices will look like a year down the road. 9 years ago all you could find was cigalikes and look at what we have now

Fasttech $2.69...may have to wait but it 3bucks

Nope. Never lost the tiny mini Bics because I always got the box of smokes and kept the lighter inside of the box.

Yeah, the new iStick mini is much smaller than I like. It took some doing to find a comfortable grip on the iSticks I have.

Mine was logged into the local USPS office this evening, so it should be delivered tomorrow

I won't get to unbox it until after 5pm, but as soon as I get it cleaned, dried, and coils mounted, I plan to give it a good workout. Look for a review later this weekend....

Then could possibly lead to heavy metal poisoning. Not fun, not fun at all. Been put in the hospital for that and it sucks.

So I've been looking around at some batteries to replace my old and true tested vtc3. Long story short I was in a shop and seen these brightass yellow mxjo 35amp 18650. At $15 a single I passed plus I'm very cautious when it comes to high drain batteries from losing a few rc from faulty lipos.

So did a quick Bing search and found a few mxjo sites with some info. In the shops these batteries are being sold as 35A cont. Discharge. On the product page they state that these are only rated for 35A pulse....then they have other batteries with 30A, 20A, and other ratings. But to me they look like rewrapped HE2 CELLS.

Out of all the things in our gear the battery is the one part of our setups that really needs to have clear trusted stats and not some word of mouth or engrwish

Send it back for a replacement.
