    Frustrated and Smoked a Cigarette Last Night, Kayfun Redemption Today

    Congrats on the KayFun! I'm almost afraid I'll jinx myself. I've been on the Kayfun train for about 6 months now, and can't seem to screw up a build on it. It just works, And works well! Mine is the old 3.1 Russian. My wife has the EHPro lite-+, and I'll admit it had some leaking issues. At...

    Did I get fake AW IMR 18650s?

    Seems I remember it being said that the ProVari folks got a bad batch a few months ago. The AW's I got from them are just fine! KnifeMaker

    The Kayfun fad

    I am now 60 years young, and have bad near vision. I use Jewelers visors for building. The 3.1 HCigar has HUGE air flow. I love it! My wifes EHPro is nice, but no where near the air flow of the 3.1. The one area where I differ from most folks, is that here in HOT dry Texas, I find that I...

    How NOT to drill out airflow on KFL (type)

    If you don't drill out the center tube hole, you are just spinning your wheels. You can go one size larger than the hole that is already in it. Just go one size larger. No more. It is handy to have a set of bits that are both numbered and lettered in it's kit to keep from going too big. The...

    Kayfun modding

    I wanted my 3.1 to have a bit looser draw. I used a numbered bit one size larger than one that would fit inside the center post that comes thru the block. It opened it up just fine. One word of caution though. Only drill the tube with it already installed and tightened in the block. It may very...

    Desperate solution for leaky Kayfun (3.1) clone: drip it!

    Seems to me, this warrants further investigation. If it will hold 30 drops with out leaking as a dripper, there is no reason it would leak otherwise. I do know that buying cut price equipment for half the going price, and then having to either not use it, or highly mod it to get it to work, In...

    Do you typically fill Kayfun v3.1 with fill hole, or through top?

    If yu are going to use the side fill hole with the ball detent, be sure to use a blunt needle. Not a sharp wedge tip such as a syringe. The sharpened tip will wedge between the ball and wall of the tube it rides and seals in. this will score the tube,and it will leak for ever more! Also, don't...

    kayfun questions

    Yes, that too will cause problems. But not what is being talked about here. The Kayfuns work on the vacuum principle. When left in a hot environment such as in an auto in the hot sun, the heat will cause pressure to build in the tank. Thus defeating the principle on which the device operates. So...

    Ehpro Kayfun Nano Issue

    It's the threading. My wifes EHPro is having the same issues. While the HCigar after a short break-in is not. I finally started putting a drop of e-juice on the threads. This helped a bit. But there is a cure. Pick up a small sample of Divers Silicone grease. It Food grade, and can be found at...

    Can't use new kayfun...destroying provari center pin

    Man! Talk abut OCD!!! Look, the ends of the screws are turned against a cutter. this is the spiral pattern you see. the Slot for the screwdriver bit is cut with something similar to a band saw blade. It will leave a burr. If the factory tried to remove the burr, it will screw up the turned...

    How to get Russian 91 taste good?

    I have found for me that lower resistance gives a stronger throat hit, while higher resistance gives better flavor. So far, 2.0-2.2 with 30 ga. is a very nice vape. If I go lower than 1.8, Hits stronger, but, almost NO flavor! KnifeMaker

    kayfun questions

    My 3.1 HCigar Never Leaks. My Wifes EHPro light+ does however. I really prefer the HCigar 3.1. Just easier to live with. The only thing I don't like about it is the side fill port with the ball detent. A PITA!!! I've been thinking about possibly chucking it up in my milling machine and...

    Kayfun LITE

    I have been running the HCigar 3.1 for a couple of months now and have yet to get a dry hit. Not one! Tried quite a different builds on it, and every thing I try seems to just work. And work well. I just can't figure all the problems people are having. I picked up a EHPro Light + for my Wife...

    Anyone else experience this oddity with a Kayfun clone?

    HCigar top fill, no leaks. EHPro light + top fill= leaks. Bummer!

    Do you typically fill Kayfun v3.1 with fill hole, or through top?

    HCigar 3.1, both. No problems with either. Wish my wifes EHPro + was as easy to get along with! Grrrrr!!! HCigar never leaks. EHPro, even a single primer puff will send it into a leaking frenzy. (Probably due to its ridiculously tight draw). Knife
