Ok so I've had my kayfun lite clone that I picked up at my local B&M for about a week now. At first I wasn't impressed. I couldn't get it to stop leaking, and when I finally did, the draw was way too tight. I went out & got a Ming drip tip & built a .8 ohm coil in there. Now it hits beautifully & produces great flavor with decent clouds. My only gripe now is that I have yet to figure out how to fill it with NO LEAKING AT ALL. I've lucked out a few times but for the most part it always leaks. Sometimes more than others. I've tried both top & bottom filling. Is there supposed to be a o ring around the bottom fill screw? I'm wondering because even when I get it to not leak from the air hole, I'll take the kayfun off my mod & juice is all over my top cap & on the bottom of the kayfun. Any suggestions? I really like my kayfun but I hate wasting juice every time in use it. Anyone else have these issues with the kayfun lite?

Kayfun clones vary wildly in build quality.
What brand was the clone?
Where did it leak from?

I always fill my Tobeco from the bottom fill hole and I don't think there is a oring in there just metal on metal screw.
Usually it comes with extra screws, have you changed the screw to see if it makes a difference.
Hope you get your leak fixed.

If you are leaking from the bottom fill screw, then check the scewdriver that you got in the rebuild kit that you got with the clone.
If its the screwdriver that has caps that screw onto the ends, look at where the cap fits onto the screwdriver, at the end of the threads.
There should be a grommet there.
Take it off o the screwdriver, and use it on the fill screw.

Mines doesn't have a o ring in there. I did notice the o ring in my top cap that goes around the chimney needed to be pulled further down. Hopefully that helps create a better seal
Wait wait - if you are talking about the chimney grommet that i think you are it needs to be in the top cap when you assemble it

The O ring in the top cap should be in a little groove that holds it. If you had to move it down that was prob part of the issue. So far I have 3 kayfun clones and I never had one leak. I always fill from the bottom screw. Mine don't have an O ring on them. But after its full you can't open it. That will break the vacuum and it will leak from everywhere.
So once I fixed the O ring inside the top cap I've used the bottom fill screw to fill it. I just make sure I keep my finger over the air hole til I tip it right side up & see air bubbles come up. Has not leaked since! I'm guessing that o ring to the chimney was the source of my problems
Yup, that top o ring being in the wrong place will make the Kayfun leak worse than snowden drunk in a strip club full of reporters.
Glad to see your situation was resolved.
Now you just need to get the wick build down and you will be set
