Had a similar problem on my Russian 91, replaced the o-ring and no more issues. I did have my clear tank break, but that was because i dropped it. I have the long mode tand and extended chimney on order, should be here next Wednesday.

Baditude, while this is true, I have found that if done properly, you can fill the tank (at least I can on my Russian 91) through the top.
I would agree with this. Do the Kayfuns come with spare o-rings?
It takes a couple days to get used to the Kayfun. I've made quite a few mistakes at first, too, but after taking it apart several times, rebuilding the coils, and experimenting with the air flow, I think I've got it set so that it is perfect for me. The spare parts can be ordered online for a nominal fee. I, too, prefer to use the stainless tank. I use a syringe to fill with 4mls and that will last about a day.
Frankly, if an atty isn't using glass....or have an all steel option, I don't want it. Still can't believe they sell/make devices that can degrade....melt.....crack with a lot of juices. This is a pet peeve of mine. And yes, I can look up what juices can crack plastic....but thats a poor solution. Done ranting........
I agree with you...but there is a lot of money to be made in aftermarket and custom parts to personalize things.
I agree, too, about the plastic tanks but there doesn't seem to be any glass tanks available for the Kayfun Lite Plus without issues that I've seen. The most interesting one I saw was advertised by fatdaddyvapes.com, but I've read that the fill hole on the bottom of the KFL+ won't work with it. Hopefully, there will be a glass replacement tank eventually that will work with the KFL+. If anyone has found one, please let me know.
It took me a few days to get used to mine, i had some dry hits and such. and occasional leaking if it gets thrown around too much...otherwise I have been very happy with my EHpro! Any one tried the 2014 version?
Lol, I was filling mine one day and as I started putting the juice in I looked down at the o-ring on the counter. Then juice started pouring all over my hand.
Haven't had any plastic tank problems at all.
These things will drive you crazy sometimes but when they work they work really good.

sounds like a pile of dog turds. definitely won't be buying one of them. hope you manage to get it sorted. you really shouldn't have to .... around like this it should work perfectly straight out of the box . good luck.
I find this^ a touch confusing. I will say though that I've had my EHPRO KFL+ for about a month now and it has never once leaked from the air hole, unlike other KFL clones I've had
VG juice doesn't crack tanks; that's absurd. But a lot of flavors will do so (citruses, red-hots, et all)Horn said:
When using the full metal jacket you have to guestimate. It shouldn't leak out the mouthpiece at all.Horn said:Wait, that is not it
Just turn it upside down, unscrew the fill port, and squeeze juice into the tank... when the juice starts backing up out the fill port it is full. Or you can just measure 4ml in a syringe, which is what I do when at home (you can use a 1ml syringe, without a needle, to fill through the port just fine BTW)

Good to hear that I am not the only one
Thanks for the thinning advice,
And I am torching just like that, but the coild stays in blue-ish/purple color, just wanted to check if that is okay
IMO grain alcohol lends a harshness to the liquid that I really don't like very much - I only use it when I'm dealing with flavors that need it to blend properly (Absinthe (anise essential), red-hot (cinnimon essential, etc). If you wanna thin your juice I'd just pick up some PG; generally an 85/15 mix is loose enough to wick well in most anything. If you have a PG allergy or something, I'd say use distilled water, just a touch.
Glad it's working for you now though.
Set up properly, with a wick done right (takes a while to get the hang of wicking it IMO), the KFL+ delivers flavor and vapor like no other.
I top fill all my Kayfuns. Have no problems with leaking......just got to get the rythym right.
It can be done, but why do it like that? Fits less juice and is more difficult.
I just got 2 EHPro KFL+ V2 (and a third that is some Knockoff of a Knockoff I'll post about in another thread) and have not had one problem with either.
Got one yesterday and another today.
The plastic center section. It does not come with the O rings installed. The O rings are in a plastic bag. Did you put O rings on the clear section?
If not you might of over tightened it which could cause it to crack. With all the parts you just tighten until they stop, No Torquing. If you over tightened you might not be able to get it apart, at least not easily.
When new everything is Tight.
With the 2 EHP KFL+'s I got the top cap O ring is inside, captured in, a grove so it can't come out easily. Actually a very good design that I hadn't seen before in any of the pictures I've seen of this model.
I hate to say it but your disappointment is, IMHO, clearly your fault.
I am new to vaping, 2+ months, as of yesterday at about 3:00 PM EDT I had never seen a KF, lite, +, V1 or V2 in person and never wrapped a coil or wicked a coil and or built anything to vape with.
The 2 KFL+ V2's I have are both up and running with 1.6 ohm coils and cotton wicks. I did have to Re-wick the first one as I didn't leave enough wick on my first try.
No leaks, no broken parts, no juice running out the drip tip. You have made some mistakes in assembly. Or it could be you got a faulty unit, but I doubt it.
You can buy replacement center plastic pieces.

Best of luck getting is figured out and fixed.

Frankly....its a lot easier.....especially since I do not use the plastic section. Takes a minute....literally.
Lol, always good to read entire thread before posting, problem solved on page 2 of thread, OP forgot to put chimney on, so leak city.
I have a question Re: posts i have read about KFL+, MANY say to also purchase (besides metal Tank piece) a shorter chimney for improved flavor (others dispute this) & I fully realize this question is highly subjective - interested in thoughts from your personal experiences with this add on. Pros, cons, worth it, don't waste your time & $????? Question #2) V1 or V2, erc./ 2013 or 2014 model??? And go but please play nice...
