I've only bought from them just the once with the Cloupor Mini phtumshk . . . I'd have no hesitation doing so again, excellent in all respects for me.

Thanks for the reassurance, I am a bit hesitant to send me money to the far east on the off chance it might turn up.

Im no cloud chaser, but this has been on me RBA list for a while.
I think this is how smovesto should have gone about airflow with the Kfun.
Will be ordering 1.
Tnanks all.

The kayfun is the most copied atomizer of all time. Probably the most popular rebuildable. Bit of a bold statement that mate.
I think this is how the Orchid should have been built.

Used gearbest a few times now and no issues with any order.

One thing to mention make sure you select singapore post as free postage is land and sea mail so takes ages where as singapore is airmail.

Dont get me wrong I love my Kfuns, but smovestos idea of air adjustment was adding a grub screw that closes off an already small air hole.
Short of drilling it out whats there is all you get.

Ordered 1, cost £13.34 using Halifax Clarity card on Paypal.
Using slowmail as Singapore post was extra and I will be in India until 16th March so no rush.

Cheers, good find phtumshk

I would presume so going by the £30 original price tag and all other clones are described with 'style' in the title.

There is one on the classies for £25 more money i know but you will get it quicker! sold already

This is the older model -- which is fine the newer 2.1 has an additional chimney and a taller glass tank so it can be build in short mode or tall.

[moodyb]

Think it also has longer post screws, as the v1.0 had a problem with smaller gauge wires apparently.

Read about quite a few people replacing the screws over on UKV and ECF.

I am loyal to Youde. When I started vaping at the end of 2012, if you wanted better than a Vivi Nova prices started at about £70. They'd already brought out the AGA S and T but with a screw cap that didn't line up the wick and air hole. They pioneered the inexpensive good vape. The AGT is fantastic if you like small chambered gennys with a warm vape. But they do have a habit of making good devices and shooting themselves in the foot with the details.

I went through a couple of threads on UKV searching for "screw" - a lot of positives but here are the thumbs down

• Mine has arrived today...I cannot for the life of me get one of the post hold screws to budge be prepared for a struggle
  
  UPDATE
  
  Got the screw out chucked in a build and am loving this tank... It's tiny as well
  
• Things to watch for if you buy one though. The chimney top cap was overly tightened on one and on my other one the post screws seemed to be tightened down with a jack hammer but nothing a mullgrip wrench clamped down on the mini screwdriver supplied can't fix.
• I had the same, the chimney top was solid. Vape Grips, rubber gloves, swearing, nothing would budge it. Stuck it in the freezer overnight and managed to get it off eventually. Had 4 tanks th ugh it so far and no leaking, no flooding. No dry hits with a 0.5 Ohm build running on a mech. Flavour and vapour are great, better than Atlantis and Subtank. Superb vape. Well pleased,
• The fill screw in the bottom ( KFL style ) has no o ring on it, and the screw itself has no shoulder where you could stick one. Juice was seeping through, albeit very slowly but leaving it on a mech overnight left a few drops of juice on top of the mod. I stick a smear of vaseline on the threads and it has stopped it altogether. I don't put it on every fill, probably just once a day when I remember.
• Its all good until you get down to the deck. The posts and screws feel cheap.
  I've only built it a few times but the screws are already wearing and I've had to use pliers to get them to tighten fully.

Hope it's OK to quote these.
