Coming from the land of Mini Protank 2's and Protank 2's, I decided to try my hand with a kayfun 3.1 clone. So I got one by hcigar and got it today.

It took awhile but I finally got a 2 ohm coil working and took my first hit using my 4mg wowboy.

HOLY CHRIST!!!

This thing should have a warning!!!! It kicks like a mule. My eyes are watering. The flavor is intense. And the throat hit is incredible.

I am getting a burning sensation in the back of my throat, and don't know if that's normal.

Anyway, my head is spinning a little bit. I'm definitely going to have to get used to this.

I have an A1 Kayfun 3.1 clone expected this week. Do you lung hit or m-l? Does yours have air-flow control?

I was considering an original because of the air-flow control when I saw this one through Vapor Joe on FB.

Congrats on $$ well spent :toast:

What gauge? How many turns? What mandrel size? What wick did you use?

HOLY CHRIST!!!
There's a reason why they're popular. ;)

Rule of thumb - half your nic in a high-yield topper like the kayfun.
Meh, I run the same nic level (15) in my R91 as in my more pedestrian toppers. Does it produce the best vape? Yes it does, but do I get double the nic from it? No way.

I got mine at luxor vapes

\\HCIGAR Kayfun 3.1 | Luxor Vapes

38.50 is a steal. Came with a nice little nylon case and the screwdriver keychain. Can't figure out the fill hole, I don't think the needle nose on my e-liquid fits, but I just filled from the top and kept the air hole covered.

Did a second coil at 2.2 ohm. 3/4 wrap of 32 gauge Kanthal on some s looped 2mm ekowool. Much better wicking than my first attempt. Sore throat I think was due to some borderline dry hits. Tastes great rocking 9.0 watts on my sigelei zmax v3 and my mvp.

ekowool is a freaking mess....I have silica strands all over the place.

God.....that's just tremendous...

Here's a review for yours - The Hcigar Kayfun 3.1 vs Svoemesto’s Kayfun Lite |

normally mouth then lung, but did a straight lunger and my hair stood on end.

If the flavor remains this intense, then zero nic won't be much of an issue for me......

I could have done with out the fake SvoeMesto markings on the side. I'm not trying to impress anyone.

The 3.1 ES just seemed out of stock everywhere I looked. And to be honest...I'm glad I went cheaper because I wasn't too sure of my ability to coil these things. And I'm not even sporting a micro coil....

The fill hole is a pain in the ...... I follow pbusardos fill method from his Russian 91% review. It's MUCH easier...

I got a KFL+ clone from gotvapes.com... I think it's tobeco... Either way, no problems...loving it! It whistles with the air flow control wide open, so I tighten it down just a hair to minimize whistling.

Story of my life....out of stock:ohmy:

I've been on Vaperrev's waiting list for 2 months for the real mcCoy....nada...whaaaaaaaaaaa

They will be in stock today... ;)


Great news! We just received a new batch of Kayfuns and with them came some exciting new Kayfun accessories! We're working hard to process the shipment as quickly as possible. All the new products will be available in-store and online at 11:00 am PST Wednesday, February 19th.




The Newly Refined Kayfun Lite PLUS

The Kayfun Lite PLUS is back and better than ever! The newest version features a redesigned drip-tip with a stylish, chiseled look. The top cap has been modified to make the O-ring fit more securely in place. And last but definitely not least, the new Lite PLUS is now engraved with the production date. It's still the same amazing Kayfun, just with a few improvements.

I played around with Ekowool in my Squape. I'm not a fan, but if I had to use it, I'd torch it first.

Making a "micro-coil" and wicking it with cotton is not that hard, and once you get that figured out, you probably won't want to go back to silica or Ekowool.

The biggest drawback to Kayfun type atties is that you can't just pull the deck and re-work it without draining and disassembling. They're easy to make a good build for, but probably not the best to learn to build on.

It actually does come with a warning. In the manual for the real one it recommends that you cut your nic level in half.

You're right of course......I still wasn't braced for it. I'm vaping 4 mg anyway, so it isn't a problem. I just was not expecting the flavor and TH improvement. I'm too used to marketing BS that under delivers.

The Kayfun does not under deliver, that is one thing to be sure.

Second one is on it's way........
