Russian no. KFL+ with standard drip tip, yes. I have been using another drip tip tonight which the whistling went away.
Yet another reason why I like my KFLs better than my +. I like them better than my R91 also, but that's mainly due to all my mods being brushed SS.

I must have lucked out. I've had my KFL+ for about 2 weeks now and although it did whistle for the first couple of days, it doesn't now, and a little juice on the o-ring around the drip tip must have caused it to swell enough reduced the wiggle by 95%. I'd planned to wrap a tiny bit of dental floss in the groove and replace the o-ring over top but now I don't have to.
It performs so well that I ordered another one yesterday and hope it gets here soon! I checked out the Russian but I just don't like the look of it or like others have said, that it just wouldn't compliment any of my devices.
The extension parts to convert to 10ml called to me too and should be here next week. My current cotton wicks seem to last fine for 4 - 5 fills (I'm on my 3rd but really only because it was time to start over with fresh juice) so I'm not too worried about having to change mid-tank.
I keep trying to tempt His Highness with one but he's just thrilled that he's inheriting all my gennys.

Boil it donnah. But not the plastic segments, insulator, or o-rings!!! Take those off. I've boiled o-rings before and got away with it but I would not chance it. I've also boiled plastic segments/tanks (accidentally) and those got distorted from the boiling. Not sure about the insulator but I'd take that out too. Just boil metal parts.
I've had my Russian 91% for about a month and absolutely love it. Wanted another, but it is nowhere to be found (out of stock everywhere). So... I pulled the trigger this morning and ordered the original, a Kayfun Lite + from Vaperev. Went ahead and got the o-ring kit, a replacement plastic tank section and a long plastic tank section. I should be ready for anything. Now the waiting begins.
Hey ancientgeek - I'm curious to know what device(s) you use it on?
I know the russian 91% will look good on my WAE but too bad it's 22mm and not 21mm or else it would be perfect
The WAE is a sweet piece.
I've bought 3 new KFL+ and 2 make a whistle and 1 doesn't whistle, i'm going to make a video and send it to vaperev showing the difference in whistle / draw.. so annoying..
I bought 2 original KFL and they never made this type of whistle sound. I really hope the Russian 91% that's coming next week doesn't whistle because i'm going to use that with my WAE.. fingers crossed...
And here are some pics of my build and set up waiting to place my order for the KFL nano kit tomorrow so I can use a different drip tip with my nano tank :]
Does my build / set up look okay? wick placement okay? coil height? thanks guys!
Nice, clean build there! Regarding the whistle, I heard it a couple times but with a chimney micro coil and a wider drip tip, airflow screw back to flush with base I got a great hit and haven't heard the whistle.

I need to find another kayfun lite. UN used, brand new. I really don't want the plus

I wish they kept everything about the KFL and just fixed the leaking problem with the screw and didn't mess with the AFC, then everything would have been perfect :'(
At this point I think it would be pretty rare to find a brand new kayfun lite. All the stores sell the plus version now and everyone who bought one, used it.
I love my KLite, arrived here in July. Polished nano kit on it, matches the nem perfect. Last accessory will be the nem hybrid adapter... But i am in no hurry, way to much gear to keep me happy. Squape arrived today, traded my OEM 69 mod for it.
Started with 3 KLites, down to 2. All from Intaste, great site.

Question for those of you that are having the whistling problem. (I'm not, could just be lucky). When you received it, did you give it a complete wash with soapy water before using it?
I am finding lately, even with high end attys and mods, that there is a certain amount of machine oil or other artifacts of the manufacturing process that need to be scrubbed away. I have started doing a soapy water scrub with an old toothbrush on everything I receive. I have an ultrasonic cleaner, so I also remove the o-rings and run it thru that for 15-20 minutes.

Im glad i waited before taking the dive for th klite+, after looking over the design of its predecessors i ask myself, why didnt they put the air control screw on the side like the ES or klite clone. I cant see myself unscrewing the atty every time i want to adjust air flow.

I've got several kfls and a r91%.. sometimes they whistle, sometimes they don't. Sometimes if it's whistling and the air hole in on top.. I turn it over and the whistling stops. It's never been consistent or bad enough to bother me.
As for machine oil.. I didn't have that problem with my first kfl or the one I got in a trade. The R91% had a machine oil taste but after 3 washings it finally went away.
This last order I received yesterday had two kfl+s (ordered one for someone else) One has been washed and washed and the machine oil taste is still there but not as strong after the last wash. With the second new one, the machine oil taste wasn't there after it's first initial washing.
I guess I'm going to have to boil that one with the taste.

I find boiling solves all ills.
