I can't speak to what it's made out of, as all my Kayfun's are authentic, but I know that supposed to be a top of the line clone. I assume your worried about the tank cracking with certain flavors? If that's the case you have to use the stainless tank or buy a glass kit if you want to see the juice level, I assume the clone uses the same or lesser material as the authentic, and you have to be careful what you put in any plastic tank.

I use a needle tip bottle and fill until no more bubbles rise in the bottle with tip all the way in. You will know when low, a slight burned taste, but goes away after fill. I use tank cracker juice and it cracked the plastic tube on mine. I like it all steal, looks cool.

That was going to be might next question...how to fill it when you can't see the level.

Correct, it's a plastic tank. That's a well known clone tho (Ironic, eh?) so the quality should be decent. As for your juice level with the metal tank... When you get dry hits and can't get any more juice to the coils, you're out :p It bugs me too, which is why I rarely use my KFL (I have the same problem with the Aqua... But I never get dry hits from my Aqua so I know dry hit = low on juice... Haven't been able to get the KFL to play nice with me through about 15-20 builds so it just collects dust more-or-less.. Seems like I either get a dry hit or over-prime it and it floods)

I don't think they've made a glass tank for the Kayfun yet, small threads don't work with glass (Hard to make + really thin glass (the threading) breaks easily) and I guess the idea of having two small metal rings for the threads with O-rings to seal a glass tank hasn't struck any people with the resources to make it happen :p

The only way to really know if it is out of e-liquid is when you start getting dry hits. When I say dry hits, I don't necessarily mean those horrible, burnt, make you want to cough up a lung, type of dry hit. Rather, the vape is just not as saturated as it should be and tastes a little off. This does not ruin a cotton wick because there is still e-liquid in the wick. As long as you are not taking lots of dry hits, anyway. I am using that exact model, and a Tobeco model, with a nano kit. However, I rarely look at the tank to see how much e-liquid is left.

I like a loose draw so, I removed the airflow control screw from both of the kfl+ clones. Because of this loose airflow, my normal draws do not properly pull e-liquid into the chamber and I get a few dry hits on each tank full. When I get a dry hit, I do not normally look at the tank to see if it is empty. Instead, I take a few quick, sharp, unpowered, draws and wait a few seconds. If there is any e-liquid left, it will saturated the wick and give me a properly saturated vape. If I still get a dry hit, I reach for my bottle of e-liquid because, I know that the tank is empty.

I hope this long explanation helps. I can be long winded at times. ;-)

Another little filling tip. Instead of holding the tank completely upside down, hold it at a little bit of an angle, with the fill port on the lower side. Fill slowly and when e-liquid starts to come out of the port, stop filling. Then, use the suction of the bottle to suck out a little bit of the e-liquid. If you overfill, it will flood the chamber and come out of the mouth piece.
