I just got mine, been sitting in Xiamen since 2/9. Have you checked tracking? No notice at all then in was in Wisconsin, next day out for delivery in Virginia.

Sent while sitting on my busted ..... Stay off the ice if you can't skate. I can't and didn't.

I've been checking every day (actually I use package buddy on my phone). It showed up in Chicago 3/3 (11:49pm) which is odd since all my shipments usually arrives in NYC before being delivered to me in NJ.

After a week of procrastinating and my first attempt epically failing, I spent the past 4 hours researching and tearing her down to about 20 pieces and reassembling it with the correct parts this time -- seems it originally had a wrong part under the build deck -- I was finally able to build my Kayfun 4 (clone)! And on top of that my first nickel build! Looks super sexy with tasty vape on my DNA40 Vapor Flask.

Twisted 30g Ni200 with ~8 wraps wicked with Japanese Cotton at 0.1ohms. My lowest yet! Not to mention the lowest recommended resistance for the DNA40. Filled her up with some Lemon Bar by Clouds of Icarus, and I'm vaping a cloud to lift me to heaven :vapor:

Some sexy pics:

being a cranky old SOB that yells at the kids to get off my lawn, i want the dislike button!

Its too PC only being able to like something. Happy happy happy .... some crap I read makes me shake my head, blood pressure go up, & every now & then get in long drawn out arguments with differences of opinion.

Its un-American, the Declaration guarantees our right to the pursuit of happiness. But I can't pursue happiness & be content if not given the choice to unlike something! What color would you like your mod .... your choices are: silver. Same thing - without an unlike button, no choice!

:) :p :laugh:

See .... if the forum had an 'unlike' button, you would immediately unlike this nonsense post. But nooooo.... lets be happy happy happy :)

I fill to the top of the counter nut every time(#33).

To the top of it ?

How is your air-control set?

Are you getting ANY seeping, as in slightly wetting fingers or mod?

Are you getting ANY bona fide leak events, where more than
a single kleenex must be used?


For me it's much MUCH less likely to leak if I only fill to leave a gap below the bottom of #32.

My theory has to do with the surface tension of the liquid preventing wholesale juice ........, and enough air above the liquid being the spring that aspiration works against. It's like this complex equilibrium, where 4 ml of glycols is suspended just so. If I fill as much as halfway up on #33 what always happens is that the little seeping (that inevitably occurs now and then) doesn't self-correct, and it then turns into the dreaded joosapocalypse where #5 starts to fill like a rowboat, make slurpy sounds and liquid starts to dribble out the air holes.

If I open the air all the way or take #13 out altogether, it's more likely to happen, a tighter airflow seems to pull liquid better into the wick, and also self-corrects any seepage.

I fill right to the top with no leakage, seepage or wetness at all. After I fill and turn the tank over I have a tiny air bubble. Then I open the liquid control and watch the bubbles rise. Air control has some restriction the way I like. Similar to my KFL's. If I fill above the nut, it will squeeze out thu the threads.

Exact same here, with the difference I run 2 k4s with the air screw removed. Never leaks .....
Unless #9 loosens up, then it slightly weeps at the top of the JC. Been tightening it every 3 or 4 days when I rewick, have found it loose in all 3 of my Kayfuns each rewick.

I've read how others turn the JC when they pocket it .... Couldn't think of doing it with mine. All 3 are wobbly with the JC closed, with leaking just above it. Each refill I need to wipe the leak, not much, but it's there. Truly believe that even though we all have the same atomizer perhaps even same mfg, they're all slightly different!
