All 5 of mine have 26 guage, 10 wraps on 2.5mm bit, come out to 1.30hms and wicked with japanese cotton, vaping at 15 watts.
Ended up order 2 more silver from vapenw and then decided to order the cheaper 'plus' from fasttech, to compare to the more expensive plus I have already, my only complaint with the plus, is the juice control/tank is really loose, hardly touch it and it moves, where the normal mini's there is a little resistance there.
That will take me up to 6 normal and 2 pluses and now really done buying them, but also got quite a few different colored tanks coming for them too

just ordered one of these from fasttech hopefully I get lucky most things i buy from them seem to break after a months use or so.... or have notable manufacturing faults..... anyway is tobeco or Ehpro making clones of this kayfun out of interest? don't think i'll use this one much due to its tank capacity but I use my k4 100% of the time these days so had to give the latest thing by svoemesto a go hope he come out with a new version of the k4 soon

The ones vapenw is selling are tobeco's, and they are very good
Check the orings if the juice control is loose. Especially the bottom one on the build deck. When I replaced it with the one that looked like the right size it tightened up the tank.All 5 of mine have 26 guage, 10 wraps on 2.5mm bit, come out to 1.30hms and wicked with japanese cotton, vaping at 15 watts.

So much so I could hardly turn it. I ended up using the smallest thickest one and it is perfect. I sure hope SM comes out with spare orings because these FT ones are fragile at best. I know there are plenty of places that sell orings but not all are created equal. I hear the SM ones are used by NASA.lol
Creme de Vape in the UK has the "official" Svoe Mesto spares kit.
Kayfun Mini V3 spares kit by SvoeMesto
Price isn't bad but shipping from the UK to the US is a bit much. The kit includes a ton of o rings and the critical ones are teflon coated as thy should be to resist the sliding friction of the juice control motion. I hope someone in the US begins to handle the spares kit or someone publishes a list identifying the specs of the necessary o rings and their location. The teflon coated o rings are avaiable in the US and could be obtained without problem as long as the details of what-goes-where is known.

Absolutely agree. Good quality orings in the correct size are going to be very important.
Thanks for the link Duane.
Thanks for the link Duane.
We should be able to get good quality o-rings here in the US. Just have to find out the exact sized used. Until we find out the sizes, just make sure to lube those o-rings well before putting together.
ps. I've never had an o-ring fail on any tank... so far.

Me either Rick. Until this one. I think this tank is going to be hard on that particular oring because of the friction. Yes always lube up.lol
I sold mine, tried everything and this one just dont work for me regarding flavor. My friend tried it and was wow its great, so I sold it to him. I really like everything about this tank but he fails me on most important thing. So sad... there are not many inovative m2l tanks but 95% sub types so I guess there is nothing but to wait another version.
A quick check indicates that Fasttech provides O rings for the Kayfun Mini v3 however I'm relatively sure they DO NOT have the advantageous Teflon coated O rings for the juice control circuit.

These might be useful in a pinch if an O ring failed and the Svoe Mesto "official" O rings are not available in the vape bits drawer.

I found this on an Italian website--no idea if those measurements are correct, but it's a start. Thoughts?

I fear mine may come to the same end. Going to try some different builds tonight. Silly me- thinking there might be something that produces better flavor than my KFL+!
Seriously?!
I've got 3 orders from Fasttech, all saying this. They're all at my local P.O., so I was expecting them tomorrow. Anyone else had Sunday delivery for this kind of stuff?

I've had a few Sunday delivers, but they are very rare, think I've had 2 over the last 3 years, I think they deliver just packages on Sunday's at times, no idea why or when.
Got one on a sunday, but was at the holidays and dont see mail running sundays now.. good luck to you.
As Vinny says, the o-ring that looks like it should fit "doesn't" must be too fat. If it is used don't think you would have proper jfc.
Also, ordered replacement glass and the black looks like it may be flaking..haven't checked the red yet, but will follow up.. Hopefully the color is on the outside.
Will also try and measure the o-rings I got in the spare parts kit and see how close they come to the ones listed above..

Build 4 - Flavor still not there:
28g, 2.5mm, 8 wraps, 1.7Ω.
Still getting leaking from air holes after filling, even with JFC closed- stops with I put the top cap back on. Check O-rings, and they seem OK, but JFC is a bit wonky: not smooth, starts out tight, then gets loose and uneven. Oh- and unlike the authentics, which take at least 6 turns before the deck comes off- this one only does about 4!
Will try maybe one more build tonight- would love to get this thing working. "Very forgiving" it is NOT!
