Ok, after some research, I came across these...and still have some doubts. So to make my KFL+ small like above, I need one or two of the following items?

SOV Kayfun Micro Kit w/Polycarbonate Tank
Do I need a chimney for this kit? How much juice does it hold? Some pictures of this would be nice so i get an idea how it looks once set up.

Kayfun Nano Cap by Science of Vaping
This one is like the above, but what other parts do i need along with this cap?

KAYFUN RESERVOIR TOP CAP - MATTE

Now this is just another top cap. Anyone has this? Would like to see your setup with with this cap.

Rebuidable Atomizers - Kayfun Upgrades - Avid Vaper
Also whats the difference between a Quartz and a Quartz Nano tank kit? This page has a PMMA Frosted Tank like the above. Is it the same?

You don't need anything special for any of the setups I've shown, if your drip tip has a big enough inside diameter the stock chimney cap works just fine.

Here's another option that you might like, 1Qvape bell caps are readily available.

For anyone that is using a Provari 2.5; What is your preferred Wire Guage, Diameter, and Number of Wraps.
The Provari has nothing to do with it, unless your power setting is too high. FWIW, I did A LOT of experimenting when I got my first KFL+. I finally found this build, which I love and have been using for 2 years:

11 wrap 28g micro coil on a 5/64" drill bit (I think that's almost 2mm). This is a micro, with the coils compressed together, not separated. 1.6 ohms every time.

Wick is organic cotton, not too tight, not too loose, not too thick at the ends (you'll get a bottleneck and diminished wicking) and not to thin (you'll get leaking in warm weather and possible dry hits).

I set my ProVari between 3.6 and 3.8, depending on the juice.

It works for me and I'm stickin' with it!

Got my 2 EHPro clones yesterday and just built one today. Very darn nice for $4.99! Slightly tighter draw than the authentics, but not objectionable. Threading not quite as slick as the authentics, but still very good.
Just have to add that this clone is excellent. Quality build, but most important, FLAVOR! Using the same coil and wick I use in my authentics, the flavor is outstanding. Amazing that a five dollar clone performs as well or better than a $100 SvoëMesto or my R91. I don't regret getting authentic for my first tanks though, because if I hadn't, I would have always been wondering if they might be better. Now that I've been down that road, I'm happy to try a clone first. In fact a just ordered a couple Mini V3 clones, and if they perform well, there's no reason to spend $100 for an original.

Sure it's easy to charge pennies on the dollar when you don't have to design/engineer something. Then after all the work, and expense, you have some clowns in a 3rd world nation counterfeit your work and luckily there is no shortage of folks willing to purchase said goods.

    In rotation, 2 kayfun lights, 2 R91's, 2 kayfun v4's, 2 kayfun v3 mini's & 2 pico's. These are always ready to use. No leaks, perform perfect. If you are happy with your clone, enjoy & stay off the stinkies! I might build another kayfun lite (lots of extra parts here) just because i can. I hope every one has an awesome week.

    Switched all my Kayfuns to the polycarbonate long pieces and eliminated the steel sections.

    Some of my Kayfuns ( the ones I use the most) have the bored out or wide juice channel. I have been using a number 36 drill bit, it works out to a 2.705 mm coil. I also seem to get the wick (I use cotton) to last a little longer. If anything to much vape, but I seem to get a little better quality vape too. So much for the 2.0-2.4 mm coil build only argument.

    BTW, some of those Kayfun rebuild kits from Fasttech dont work on ALL Kayfuns. Generally all the parts work EXCEPT the bottom screw and that plastic silicone skirt that goes over it.There are actually two different kinds.

    Let's see if we can get another thread shut down. Right? After all, this is the oldest Kayfun thread on ECF.

    How about we don't. We're getting rather tired of the childish behavior when it comes to certain individuals and the topic of clones and authentics.

    How about we just start handing out suspensions instead? Because that's what's going to start happening.

    It was called sarcasm. And I was all for handing out suspensions long ago so we're on the same page. :)
