Thanks..... appreciate the help. Was surprised at what those little buggers cost.....but they are necessary. Has anyone actually worn one out yet? Mine is holding up nicely, but I do want spares around. I fill 2 - 3X / day and am waiting to shred the O-ring or lose both that microscopic screw and the sub-atomic O-ring.....:D

I just ordered a bunch of o-rings from McMaster-Carr for my KFL, and other stuff. http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/120/3508/=rpyleq

The o-rings are spec'd by ID & thickness. All dimensions below are mm. Sold in packs of 100. But really inexpensive. They ship fast.

Fill screw: 2 x 1
Chimney: 5 x 1.5
Base, sections: 18 x 1

You're a life saver <3


In case anyone is wondering, I was thinking of using it to let me adjust how much my center post screws in, so that I can align the center post air hole with the base's air hole. Hope it works!!

Are these specs for the KFL lite?

And I also want to thank you.

These are for the KFL+, but I'm pretty sure they are the same for the KFL, too.

I did already trade out the o-rings on my 2 older KFL+'s. They work perfectly.

I finally sat down and measured all the o-rings in all my attys and drip tips and made a little spreadsheet. Wish I'd done it sooner.

You just rocked my world. Thank you so very much. I'm needing "O" rings for all mine.

Is it possible you have the dimensions backward for the fill screw. I just looked and didn't see any 2X1,, but did see some 1X2? Really want to make certain before I buy that many of the wrong size.:facepalm:

I think it's 2mm inner diameter and 1mm width. It's pretty much the very first entry in that webpage. 9262K101

Hey guys,

Had a question. Was looking to buy a kayfun lite for quite some time now. Emailed with svöemesto to ask some questions and now there is one big question left.

How in the freaking world do I know it's authentic and real? There are so many clones out there I start to be really upset about it.

I even see clones that have the design in Russia made in German"Y" logo on the bottom.

If anyone could point out to be how I can ensure it's real that would be great.

There's pretty much only one way to know for a fact it's genuine: you buy it from authorized vendors like vaperev or intaste.

Anything else is always gonna be a tad of a gamble, considering how there are clones with all the right markings.

Same reason why I'll never buy an atomic or trident rda even on the classies unless I know the member personally.

101 Vapes has an Ehpro clone of the KFL V2 on their site right now. Even has the new drip-tip, updated topcap and bottom markings. Sure didn't take long. Pretty much the only way to be reasonably sure is to buy from an authorized dealer. I wouldn't even buy one from somebody I know personally, if I was worried about authenticity, for fear they don't know they bought a clone. I guess it just comes down to "You pay your money and take your chances" nowday's.

Would it be possible to get a link to your spreadsheet? I have been trying to find o-ring sizes for all of mine (Taifun GT & GS, Ithaka, Kayfun 3.1, Lite, Lite+, Squape, Magoo, Fogger V2, V3 and V4).

I'd be happy to get you a link, but the only ones I have that you have are the Kayfuns that I already stated size. I just measured mine with a caliper. Measure ID & thickness, in mm. The McMaster-Carr page that I linked to earlier is all metric, so that's the page you want.
