The Russian 2.0 , Where ?

[Montana]

I've been looking at RTA's that have easy filling ( either top fill or side fill , so it can be filled quickly and easily ) , single coil and external air flow control.

I've obviously looked at the new Kayfun 4 and the upcoming Taifun GT II , but they will work out to expensive ( for me ) as ( if they suit ) I'll probably want 3 or maybe more and that works out very expensive.

So I was reminded about the Russian 2.0 and thought that looks as though it has the features I want at a better price , so I looked around ( A LOT ) and have only found one supplier in the UK ( so far ) but they are sold out til at least after Christmas ( maybe longer ) .

So , does anyone know if there is another UK supplier that has these please ?

I got mine from Grey Haze but I checked and it is now Sold Out. It is a very good atomiser. Have a look on UCT/Kebo's website I am sure they list their vendors.

Billy | GreyHaze WAS the only site that I could find in the UK , so I gave them a call.

I'm sorry to have to say this , but when I called them I was greeted by what sounded like a youngster that sounded as though he couldn't be interested in what I was asking at all , the two questions that I asked ( which were price and when they were going to be back in stock ) he had to go away and find the answers and he mumbled , which made  him difficult to understand.I had the feeling that whatever I asked I was going to get the same reaction.
When I ring a vendor I would like someone to answer with at least a voice that sounds as though they are interested in what they do.

The Kebo site DIDN'T seem to have the Russian 2.0 , it had the Original and the 91% but not the 2.0.I also looked for the UCT site, but all I found was an Alibaba link and I couldn't find a list of vendors anywhere , otherwise I would have been straight on it.

Any more help would be much appreciated.

Sorry don't know about Russian 2.0 but here's an alternative...

How about one of these? www.fasttech.com/products/0/10006473/1945403-kayfun-lite-plus-v3-styled-rebuildable-tank



Swap out one of the std rings for a nano ring & stick one of these up top www.fasttech.com/p/1815409

The Kayfun clone being recommended is not in the same league as the Russian V2 IMO.

I'm not recommending it, it's just an alternative that meets the criteria & it's available, just saying like.

I don't have a kayfun clone so can't vouch for it but i do have one of those topcaps on my KFL+ & it works as you'd expect.

Sorted.

I do like the look of the product and the review that Phil Busardo did was good to.

The thing is , you just can't get hold of it ( just one place I have found in the EU so far ) and that's virtually all over the world.There also seems to be a total lack of and spares or additional pieces for it, like a glass tank , which I think should come as standard considering the price.There isn't a company or device website , I've only found something on Alibaba and a Youtube page.

Now considering this atty is £80 , that's a LOT of money to realistically just take a punt on.

There seems to be a huge void in the market, you can either get atty's at around the £20-30 mark then virtually nothing until you get to the £80-£100 mark and then above.I'm really liking my Mini Fogger at the moment , but it is a little harsh , and the jump to another atty which would be better is huge , especially in percentage terms compared with a Mini Fogger.perhaps something other manufacturers can take advantage of.

Just a little update.I have found another vendor that does do this atty , the unfortunate thing is , is it's on sale at a vendor that isn't that reliable for the old customer service  .

Even more unfortunate still is that I'm still really tempted to get one , have I got shinyitis or is it that I'm that desperate to get a good atty and don't mind where I get it from ?

If it's a product that you want, then just get it because you won't be happy with anything else as you will always be comparing it to your perception of the one you really want. Plus if it's hard to find, it'll hold it's value in the second hand market.

I'm sure many people have bought from the place you mention without issues, but if course it is a risk if you do have a problem.

However, there are atties in the price range you mention - some are superb, but less well known than kayfuns / taifuns etc.

I've not kept up with recent releases, but how about an Expromizer? Last I checked the genuines were £50 direct from Germany, and combines all the benefits of taifuns and kayfuns. It's been cloned if you want to try it cheaply, which will also reduce the price of second hand genuines.

There are probably plenty of others - the troy X, the Aiolos (16mm) but they can be tough to track down.

Thought I better let you know that I shouted about how good the Russian V2 was on a few occasions. It was one of my favourite atomisers. Unfortunately, I had to return it because the port for filling was sticking and there was more juice coming out than was going in. There was no stock and I received a full refund. Very disappointed because I really thought this was a top atomiser.

Think it's a good idea to be patient when a new atty comes out. At first demand is greater than supply so prices are high. If you wait, you'll find out which is best and if you need to wait for the 2.1. Just saying.

I thought I better link to another post I put instead of writing it out again.
