Chi gar kayfun 3.1 clone...FILLING NIGHTMARE!

[Cupcakesugars]

So I purchased what was advertised an hcigar kayfun 3.1 clone. I just got it last night (vapemail woo!) and promptly got to YouTube-ing so my set up was proper.

well, there is NOTHING on the bottom, no screw to remove that would expose a fill hole. The only fill hole I have is the one on the bottom where the air flow control is.

I figured, ok no problem, got a syringe out and tried it that way. All that happened was whatever I pushed in came right back out, regurgitated ejuice.

Is this a crap device and I should send it back? Help please!

thank you

The only fill hole on a 3.1 is on the side, to the right of the air hole. There is no bottom fill hole like the Kayfun Lite.

You just remove the little screw, hold it upside down, push a blunt bottle tip against the hole (making sure there's a good seal all the way around) and squeeze fluid into it. If you use a needle tip, it will just dribble back out, in my experience. Also, a needle tip can damage the little valve in there.

Fill it from the top.

I tape all 3 holes at the bottom

I then top fill the device

I begin to screw on the top cap. As I get to the oring, I flip it upside down and finish quickly

works wonderfully. I have the say Hcigar kayfun 3.1

Top filling has never worked well for me with my Hcigar clone or my authentic Kayfun. The o-ring grips the "chimney" and unscrews the bell around the coil, leading to a big mess. Once I figured out the little fill hole, life became much easier.

I never had a proper tip for a bottle that allowed me to use the fill hole. I've done it the way I've mentioned at least 100 times now with a lot of success

If you do a google search for Kayfun 3.1 instructions, you will find the PDF in English for it, from the original manufacture. The Hcigar clone works exactly, I mean exactly, the same way. It will explain how to fill from the top, and will help you solve any other questions. Very useful download.

If you've never used one before, the Kayfun does have a little bit of a learning curve to it, but it is a wonderful little guy (I have a bunch, and I'm an old lady). Don't judge it as trash before you learn how to use it and let it strutt its stuff. You'll really enjoy it!

I've found that any plastic bottle tip that's larger than the fill hole works fine. I do wish the 3.1 had the bottom fill hole of the KFL and Russian 91%, though.

I ordered these and all of my headaches went away =) Use the actual fill hole on the Kayfun Clone. It is the Hole on the right. You can not use a regular blunt needle it will damage the one way valve inside. I used to do the top fill method and if you turn the Atty upside down you will notice all the juice runs down in the bottom and there is room in there for aprox. 1.5ml of juice!

After I started using these tips on a 3ml syringe I can fill it to it's capacity no air bubbles! Be careful not to overfill it, the juice will squirt out of the chimney down the drip tip and all over your hands

This is why I ordered the Squape instead of a Kayfun. Easier to fill, and you can remove the base and work on your coil without having to drain the whole thing.

I personally use the top fill method on my kayfun 3.1(h cigar)...works great. No issues at all....obviously YMMV

 

[crxess]

And you ARE supposed to leave an air bubble to stabilize internal pressure.

3.1 cannot have a Bottom fill hole. It has the additional juice catch chamber at the Base.

I have the HCigar 3.1 and fill it from the top... no hole holding, no flipping. But I use 100VG, so it doesnt flood the coil chamber when filling it from the top...

I can get at least an extra ml probably 1.5 more into my EHpro KFL+ when filling from the bottom.

I do wish the 3.1 had the bottom fill hole of the KFL and Russian 91%, though.

That itty-bitty little fill hole with the little machine screw in it on the bottom of the Kayfun lite is no fun messing around with either.

Won't be long before that little screw gets lost anyway.

+20 to this post! I purchased these after reading this thinking it would probably be a waste of money but the needles worked like a charm! I poke the needle in with the hole facing down then rotate it up simply because someone mentioned it and finally filled my KF3.1 clone without flooding it! I was only able to minimize the flooding at best with the top fill methods I had read. I've only tried it with 100% VG juice so it should work with everything. And I thought that baring side fill port was going to be a total waste.
