If anyone has one of these little guys in their old school stash pile ( I think it was the V4 by Tobecco that had a bit more air? ) I could be wrong though, was a long time ago, please send me a pm. I would like to buy one. Thanks so much everyone.

Oh, even one of those kayfun type clones but the one that has a bit more air ( I forget what version it was ) I would be interested in that too maybe.

and really on the off chance, an old taifun GT3 clone. Ya, I know, no one is gonna wanna give that one up I bet. I swear that has to be one of the best flavor RTA's ever. The plastic tank on mine finally went. I have had it for years and good luck finding a replacement tank or even a whole new one ( in stock that is )

I did see that the old Geekvape griffin tank lists their glass as the same size as the Taifun. I ordered 2 replacement glass pieces from Fasttech but we all know it's gonna be hit or miss. But for the $2 who cares if they don't work. I will simply put them in my spare glass stash. :)

Hey @LilBoSheep, that's fine, no worries, but you may have better luck if you have a new thread started with that in the title :)
I suppose someone might come in that has an Orchid and also have the RDA you are looking for??

Buddha's a great by the way, I have several and love them :)

I have a couple orchids and kayfuns, all v4's IIRC which are MTL versions. But, they have been modded back in the Orchid/KF modding craze back in the day. i.e., mish-mashed together and with aftermarket tanks and etc.

Like this:

Unsure if I still have a stock KF or Orchid anymore...it's been awhile. ;-)

I bet I could find some for sale still, they made millions. Just depends which version and which company made them.

Mine has the silly plastic piece insert and it had some orings missing so trying to get just the right size in there to prevent it from leaking has proved to be a bit difficult. :) They can be finicky tanks but man when they behave........Love the flavor. What happened was my old Taifun GT3 ( which was my favorite RTA ) well that tank finally cracked the other day. Even though I was careful what I put in it, it was pretty old so bound to happen. The Orchid I am fiddling with comes pretty close in flavor and I figured it would be a lot easier to find one of those than a Taifun.

TLDR: are you interested in selling any? The Orchid I have now is a very loose MTL and I like that. If these are tighter MTL I probably would not care for it but that sure looks like the one I have ( exception of the middle piece you have in there ) Give me a sec and I will snap a pic pf mine

Here is what I have now, different tip obviously. Mine has the shorter chimney. My poor poor sad Taifun below it. Just broke my heart when that tank went . Dumbass me never thought to get spares while they were still to be found.

Thanks Caff I looked at 3f and unless it says 24 hour ship I am not gonna take the chance. I have learned that with them in the past. No the orchid tanks will not fit unfortunately. I saw they had some GT4 stuff, but not knowing if they are decent or not, I think I am better just searching for what I know I enjoy. and go figure they have a GT3 replacement glass that says "pre-order" ummm ya, that's never coming lol. The GT3 has to be at least 4 years old

Hmm, well here is what I've dug up so far, I know I have more but unsure where..lol

As you see...I mixed v3.x KF and Orchid parts all over the place and used various chimneys and tanks too.
Basically, if you want a bone-stock Orchid or KF, I don't have one assembled that way. ;)
