Just a note of caution, I have looked on alibaba and there appears to be 2 different manufacturers one of which is tobeco that doesn't seem to have a good reputation re quality, just for info.

Yeah I seen that one as well. We'll have to stay clear if that!

I think the £60 is a minimum retail price for vendor it says $47-$49 selling price on this link www.alibaba.com/product-gs/1138501403/The_Russian_91_RBA_Atomizer_Kayfun.html?from=wap&s=p
I'd be up for one at that price even with import taxes etc it'd be a good deal

Yeah, okay, I guess so.  That would make it essentially £40 + postage (assuming you'd have to split the international delivery, then add UK delivery), so probably looking at around £43-45 a piece.

Is there any members on here who have any experience running a group buy. I wouldn't know where to start.

There has been a good few group buys, have a look around this board

Some musings on the cost of a GB for this, it'd be for the min quantity of 25 so suppose they are $49ea FOB, delivery maybe say $150 -$200 or $6-$8 each so lets say $57 per piece. PayPal are currently on $1.49 to the pound so that's £38.25 ea.

Her Madge will want duty which is about 6% or £2.29 and Vodka And Tonic @ 20% or £7.65 so were at £48.19

Then the postage to the buyers from the organiser will be £3.70 and packing 30p per Jiffy bag so were now at £52.19

PayPal want 3.4% or £1.77 off the organiser plus 20p per transaction so the cost will be £54.16, nearly there - bear with me!

Finally the polite thing is for the group to buy the organiser's item by chipping in, this isn't a given but more a decorum thing and not everyone will pitch in, and no-one would be asked to or thought badly of if they didn't, but its the done thing!

So call it £56.50 each.

I'd sooner wait two weeks and support a vendor to be honest, your only gonna save a fiver and if it goes tits up or the batch is bad then some poor sod is gonna get a dogs life

Does anyone feel like organising it now?

Cheers

Pardon my ignorance on this issue. But is the 91% better than the Kayfun Lite and will it hold its resale value as much?
I watched both reviews by Todd and although the 91% has air flow and an adjustable centre pin, my main worry is that if i ever go to resell it, the depreciation of the 91% would negate the original cheaper price over the Kayfun Lite.

As a clone it's unlikely to hold its price, whereas the Kayfun will.

Theres a group buy for these over on ukvapers if anybody is interested ukvapers.org/Thread-The-Russian-91-group-buy

Yes there is, but you may notice that the take up is very slow on this Clone, in my opinion if you do decide you really want one of these I would myself wait until a well known and trusted vendor gets them in stock.

And the price isn't going to be that much higher, you will also have the peace of mind that if anything goes wrong with it, you will have more chance of getting it exchanged.

Was intrested in this initialy, but you can buy a Kayfun lite for similar dosh, LINK

I've a couple of Kayfuns and use them all the time now, bit of a no brainer for me!

Funny thing is i had the Kayfun Lite in my Basket today, i just could not bring myself to buy it, if it had airflow control and adjustable pin then i may of checked out

[poochops]

The guy on UKV reckons he can make it work for £51 quids, will be interesting to see how the final cost looks though. I'm gonna get a kayfun lite from c9v on Wednesday myself, an extra 10 or 12 notes for the original, especially at this price point is with paying IMHO

You silly bugger!

But if adjustable wotsits are important to you, I spose you did the right thing...

[pyr0]

I've already got a Kayfun Lite, but I'd just like to try a Russian 91% atomiser too.

[Super-Shiny]

I am a fussy git sleepyduck

To be honest the Russian 91% might have a slight edge over the Kayfun (Only time will tell), price is slightly better, airflow control, 510 Adjustable pin and a good review and looks like a very well made clone, but as i said only time will tell.

I think i would of checked out @ basket if it had airflow control, i do like having a bit of control over things as i find some things work differently on different batteries, i.e Evods/Protanks have a tighter draw on a Itaste SVD then a eVic etc etc

Hence the fussy git bit

[sleepyduck]

You, Super-Shiny, a fussy git?

I have to say that the draw is the only thing I don't like on the KFL, but everything else about it is so good that I can live with it.

Oh, I don't like the fact that you have to do your own coils and wicks too, but I spose that comes with the territory. Took me three attempts to get the damn thing up and running tonight

Got there in the end though
