Good call. I will after my card gets charged. I'm going to be stepping up from a cheap 25 dollar knockoff to the kayfun so I expect to be wowed. I don't think I'll be disappointed judging on the reviews.

You will be impressed by Kayfun performance. Today is my first day of vaping K-lite, no dry hits, no leakages, no condansate but plenty of fresh vapor. Nothing to compare from my other hardware.

I cant wait! The design is just simple genious, and im partial to german made stuff I guess cause my mother and her family came from there when she was 16, and ive gone through about every type of atomizer, carto, clearo, rba, genny and always have an issue.... seems like the kayfun design and experience is about the closest to perfection as you can get

anyone know where they have these in stock??

You better sign your email for a notice on every of the websites: intaste, cloud9vaping, digitalsteam, and svoemesto (if you are desperate).
I started to vape less than 1.5 months ago and with such the method I've got everything I wanted to. I've got K-3.1s, K-lites, Taifuns GTs, Ithakas, and so.

sigh I'm anxiously waiting for intaste to give me an update on their situation. I was so excited to get my hands on something great for once (e-cig wise) but my order just had to be stuck in that whole customs problem :( hope you guys are enjoying your kayfuns! keep posting stuff about it!

Yeah the whole situation just sucks. I haven't asked for a refund yet simply because I'm afraid if I do, I won't find another Kayfun in stock for a while. I'm holding out hope that they work the kinks out in the next couple of days.

If the InTaste peeps would simply shoot me an email every couple of days with an update on the situation, I probably wouldn't mind waiting. But as it stands, it feels like they simply don't care. They've given absolutely no indication as to how long I might have to wait to receive the item I ordered. I mean how hard is it to grab a list of all customers affected by this and then send out a mass email?

Apparently too hard.

I ordered the 9th at noon and didnt hear anything untill I realized the emails and tracking from dhl was in my spam folder, my shipping process is at 60% now, which I think means its in the US, hopefully customs doesnt get a grip on it.

But theres another member here who ordered yesterday or today and theirs is at 40% already.

Have you tried coating the fillscrew threads and underside of head with vaseline?
Maybee teflon tape would work too, but I think vaseline is viscous enough to create a seal inbetween the screw and threading and stop any capilary seeping

Still getting some leakage from the bottom of my lite. Tried tightening the fill screw and after building a new coil, tightening the screws around the coil. I don't know if it's from the fill screw or the 510 connection.

Anyone know where to get a micro thin o ring for the fill screw?

So InTaste finally sent the email I've been waiting for. Not sure what to think. Cancel my order and place a new one later? Why can't they just transfer the order or put me at the head of the list for the next batch?

Dear customers from USA,

we want to apologize again for what happened with your order last week! We are so sorry for this!
Until yesterday we tried to solve all the problems. The subject is quite complicated.

So please let us explain what happened and why customs didn't let these orders through.
A new law came into force two weeks ago. It's a law regarding the merchandise value for a company.

The essence of the law is, that we are not allowed to send more than 1000€ merchandise value to every country every day.
Of course we thought about printing a new label and ship out again. Poorly these custom officers asked us to do a full customs declaration for every 40 shippings on this day.
We cannot easily ship again because we got a prompt from customs and in Germany customs word or promts are as strong as policemen words. So you have to do this, otherwise you get punished.

The biggest problem is, that we need a certificate to do this decleration. We already requested this certificate but we didn't recieved it until now.
Our hands are tied at the moment, we have to wait until certificate arrives. Sadly we can't tell you how much time this needs.

So we hope you got an idea of what we went through for you this week. It is absolutely not about the contents. e-cigarettes are no problem to ship at all.
It wasn't our mistake that customs cought all orders from us this day. There were more than 500 companies this day who have the same situation than we have now.
This is very hard to accept! We feel restricted in our business and randomly humiliated by our country.

We didn't forget about you and we do all we can to find a good solution for everyone.
We just want to let you know that we think about you every minute and that we really really try to ship these goods out as fast as we can.
Of course we offer you to send the money back at every time. We can of course cancel your order and you can order another one in a little while. We suggest to cancel the order. Maybe you can order some new in the next batch.
We are very very sorry for this. You can believe us that we are honest every time and that we feel very bad because of this situation.

Best wishes from Germany,
the team of inTaste

From my understanding of their email they are offering a choice if you want a refund so you won't be waiting for xx days until they can get their customs things sorted out.

However, them suggesting for you to cancel the order is weird. Maybe they don't want to be holding your money without an exact eta for sending the Lite(s) out.

If it was me, I would suggest something similar if I didn't have an exact eta for a customer, or had an issue i didn't know how long it would take to resolve.

So InTaste finally sent the email I've been waiting for. Not sure what to think. Cancel my order and place a new one later? Why can't they just transfer the order or put me at the head of the list for the next batch?

I don't have any leakage but others might. I ordered from Intaste and it comes with a small screwdriver. One end is flat head and the other end is Philips screw. Both has a small o-ring. Use one of them for the fill screw and it should solve your leaking problem

Nice review and tut!

I ordered some squarebraid cotton wick, ekowool, and reg silica from kidneypuncher to try in mine when it gets here.

Ive been wanting to try cotton yarn just never got around to it... ive used cotton before and it just always seems to pickup a soapy taste from my hands nomatter how long I rinse my hands after washing them, the soapy taste goes away after a couple days ... maybee ill try gloves??

Do you notice this with yarn?



To all the people caught up in the intaste customs deal....
What a pain in the ###. Its a shame their country is regulating small businesses like this. What a joke, they are really counting how many orders a company can ship?!?

I wonder if they are just doing this with ecig related goods?

Hello all. I did a video review for the lite that also includes a tutorial for setting up a yarn wick for anyone who is interested.
