Fun with Kayfun

[Arthster]

Good evening Ladies and Gents. I have a quick question for the experienced Kayfunners out in vapeland.

Ho do you stop the Kayfun from flooding. I have done the search on youtube and as far as I can see my wicking is correct, but I still get a rather heavy splururururup when I let it stand for a few minutes.

from what I can tell the flooding is caused by juice pressure pushing juice into the atty chamber and then running down into the catch bowl. From the homework that I have done the wick is what stops this from happening so my wick could still need some tweaking, but I am just wondering how the other guys got past this.

The only way I could stop the flooding of my Kayfun clones was to throw it into the gorge!

@Arthster make sure that your coil isn't too close to the air hole on the deck, maybe just lift it a smidge. Also check that the wick isn't encroaching on to the top surface of the deck, either of these things will cause a juice bridge causing juice to run down the air hole. Something else to check is the o-ring where the chimney fits into the top cap, if the seal isn't tight there won't be a vacuum in the tank and the juice uses the air hole as a drain.

Thanks @BumbleBee, looks like that might be it. There was no O-ring on the chimney cap. and my coil was very close to the air hole.

No o-ring? whoops, that's quite an important little piece

 

[Arthster]

I have added the O-ring to the top piece of the chimney, re wicked it and made sure the wick isn't touching the top of the poles and moved the coil of center. been a little bit of time since I did this. I also added the clear section to try and see what they meant buy the bubble. I screwed the top cap on and put my finger on the the air hole. Turned it upside down and it looked like all the juice did a zero gravity thing and moved upwards. I locked the top cap down and put the RTA on my mod. all good so far.

Well its been a rather long time now, and nothing. its like sucking air through a straw. Thanks so very much @BumbleBee

I think problem solved. Its been very long and still cool in the pool

I am starting to really like the Kayfun

The kayfun is a really awesome tank. Although I started enjoying nice and airy lung hits so I got myself a Lemo which is excellent too.

The kayfun 4 looks like a really good buy too.

I have to actually do some homework on the Kayfun 4. I heard stuff about it but never saw anything apart from talk.

It is fairly new. I see Vapeclub is bringing them in soon so I'm sure we will be hearing a lot about them once that happens.

I found uncle P's review of the Kayfun 4

The KF4 looks like a fantastic new device, Todd and PBusardo did reviews already. I just can't go back to clones after the Lemo, and the authentic KF4 is probably going to cost at least 3 Lemos

 

[Arthster]

about 185 USD

Holy Kayfun! That just hurts...damn you Lemo and your authenticness

Edit: That's almost a Reo

 

[Arthster]

Yeah its a tad steep for my wallet. Thank goodies for the cloners.

I'm just very concerned with the quality of clones. The KF4 looks to be a lot more complex than the 3.1 and Lite versions (which already had many crappy clones). I just can't imagine the new clones being any good...hope I'm wrong, but I'm not holding my breath

 

[Arthster]

That is a concern. Having a look at the buildup of the devise... it comes with a schematic diagram. If something comes with schematics it means business.

Indeed, which is why the first clones was available on Fasttech before the authentic devices came out...those cloners are damn quick, especially when they get instructions

Personally, I hate the Kayfun clones! What a load of shyte! All they do is leak and flood and by the time you get it right, u have wasted half a tank of juice... Then u have to refill and that process starts again! I have a brand new one chilling in the drawer, think I'll make a Christmas decoration out of it.

Mine started exactly like that this morning. But some tweaking and help from @BumbleBee, it seems to be going great now. Have to be honest the other clones I own has been treating me very well. My favorite at the moment is the tugboat.

Granted its not the same as the real thing. but the only reason I could afford to grow my collection is because of the clones. Some of the real things are just to dang expensive.

 

[Ollie]

Clones do have their place, and I'm not against them at all, I have a few myself! My issue is with the Kayfun in particular! It makes me angry every time I look at it! I wouldn't even give it away coz I know all it will do is cause pain and suffering in the next okes house! I don't need that on my conscience!

I can very much relate to that. This one was my first RTA and the first experience I have had with a Kayfun and almost my very last. Most of my issues where caused by not knowing what I was doing. for 1 I didn't do the vacuum fill on it. and that caused just about all my flooding. then I also managed to lose one of my O-rings.

It really was a frustration in the beginning but just sitting and working out the tricks to it, made it really good.

I don't have a clue how good the real thing performs and how easy it is to setup, but from the reviews and other videos I've seen, it looks like the flooding if filled wrong is a general issue with the proper one as well.
