actually the fogger cannot really accommodate wick tails in the channels, at least the version I have doesn't. with my fogger you basically have to set the wick tails just on the channel holes with maybe a few cotton fibers ever so gently tucked just in the top .5mm. this is just to secure them though, because if you actually place the tails down, you will get dry hits. maybe if these channels were bored out like the aqua tank, then that would be another story. now talking about the aqua, these channels are fairly big and deep, and is mandatory to actually place the entire wick tail down into them. this is imo, a great design and it works and wicks phenomenally. I had my kayfuns for quite some time before purchasing the aqua and after seeing just how great the aqua wicked, I thought about the same question you just asked. although I never had wicking issues with the kayfun, I was bored and figured that if I widened the vertical channels in the kayfun I could run my wick tails just like the aqua (or as you were thinking the fogger)just to see how much juicier the vape would be. I started on one of my kayfuns and widened to a point where I thought it was enough, I then tried the configuration and it didn't work. after one more round and a few more bits, I tried it once again to no avail. stepping back and comparing the depth of the aqua's channels to my now modded kayfun, I was only about half way and I decided not to continue. to make a long story short, this is why one of my kayfuns has extra wide channels, it was to emulate an aqua. after vaping this kayfun, and noticing a slightly juicier vape, I then modded a second kayfun to match, these are now the kayfuns I dedicate to sub ohm builds. I may try again and continue what I initially had in mind just like a lot of other ideas I have with the kayfuns. but to actually answer your question, the kayfuns vertical channels are not wide enough to slide a wick down and wick properly. if they were however, and you also enlarged the horizontal channel (maybe) and played around with wick tail placement, I do think it could work. the question would be possibly over wicking. in the aqua there is a juice control, this controls how much of the tails are being exposed by raising or lowering the chimney off the base.

very true, like you said, troubleshooting issues are no longer a build mistake and more and more device issues. whereas maybe 6 months ago it could of been like 90/10 percent build mistakes, now it seems more like 70/30? not really sure of the percentage but I still think its mostly user error, but its catching up.
So........ I got a Svoemesto Kayfun lite plus V2 and the websites I have read said it comes with spare screws, o rings, etc. I didn't get any of that from the brick and mortar I bought it from. I watched them open the box, and it wasn't inside the little box. Anyone know if it should have come with the spare parts thanks in advance. Btw super happy with it, and it is definitely a numbered non clone. Just wondering if I am missing stuff,
You should've received a separate little Baggie of orings and screws. All mine did

That was my thinking. Were any of yours the same Kayfun lite plus V2 model? I just want to make sure before I bring it up to the shop.
Maybe, I will call the owner tomorrow. The shop acts like it does not come with it. Maybe the distributor burned the owner. I have known the owner a long time. I don't want myself or others getting burned if it is missing on all of their stock.

my spare kit was taped to the outside of the box. purchased from vape rev.
I just rebuilt my kayfun. I spent some time today playing with KDG cotton pads and just couldnt dial it in. So, I went back my CVS brand organic cotton and up'ed my ohms from 1.2 to 1.5 and increased the amount of cotton I had been using. I shaped the cotton so it perfectly touches the deck and nothing more -- basically a U shape. I dialed the airflow just right and it's hitting nice and smooth. The 1.2 coil + lesser cotton was a juice spittin' shuttle launch flavor blast, but I think I dig on the mellower, cooler, even toke of the new build.
So many variables!

personally when I have went closer I had found about the same flavor tbh,(unless you go really high) I think this is because when the coil gets to close, it starts to restrict airflow slightly which inhibits flavor. also with cotton at least, my coils seemed to gunk faster when to close, I think this was due to the airflow hitting a more specific part of the coil, rather then spread out more along the length. like wise, if to high, the vapor gets a little scratchier and flavor diminishes some. also if your coils wicking performance is under achieving, the higher, the worse.
Sounds good. I have been using 28 gauge kanthal and organic cotton balls. Mine have been 1.1-1.2. It's been working great. I was trying all my juices again to see what they were like in it. Now,I am vaping some Curious Jorge for something different. I am enjoying it. Sounds like something funny is going on if you got the spares at vaperev. I noticed they listed the spares on their site. I got this one at local vape. Sounds like something fishy is going on. I think I will call Sky tomorrow.
I used to get a lot of spitting just after an initial build, it eventually tapered off after like a 1/4 tank. I never really knew what caused this but since then I purchased these knuckle drip tips (didn't buy them because of the spitting, I just liked the design). these are like a Ming drip tips but they swivel and allow you to somewhat hold the mod more upright. anyways because of the angle of the swivel, even if you have a real spitter, the juice doesn't really get to the lips.
Quick question for you all, I apologize if there was a better place to ask. Have a SM KFL+ V2 and want to pick up a clear nano tank for it. From the VapeRev site it looks like the original makrolon nano tanks come in both 22 and 23mm diameters.
Any opinions on which is the better of the two in terms of looks and function?
Obviously the OEM parts are insanely priced, to say nothing of the absurd shipping costs and attitude that come free with VapeRev orders. Any suggestions for a good quality equivalent that will give a slight drop but still allow use of the stock chimney and top cap and not affect function?
Thoughts are much appreciated, thanks all!

I bought 4 kayfuns, all from either intaste, svenmesto, or cloud nine and every single one came with a little spare kit. now maybe when you buy from a local vendor, they get a slight better deal if they get them in bulk and without this kit? don't really know why, but when you actually buy from the authorized on- line dealers, you get a kit, at least I did. sorry, actually I have never purchased the newer plus v-2's, maybe the new ones don't? not sure
let me see if this works, I don't think I ever tried pasting a link before. Knucklehead Swivel Drip Tip it worked, cool.
I only saw the 24m.m. Tall by 23m.m. Diameter. At Vaperev.
Not sure if you can add links.
I never really have had the popping yet, but I will get one to try it. Always like fun stuff.
That is what I had heard. Kayfuns usually come with a spare kit, and even a screwdriver most of the time. I appreciate your input. I will definitely call the owner. I knew him before he even had a vape shop.
Never had any problems with vape rev -- they've been very helpful and friendly and professional in my experience via emails and in person.
Anyways, have you considered a glass nano kit? If you're down with that, check out the V1 kit from Science of Vaping. it will allow you to use the stock top cap (you can use the stock chimney with the full size, but nano requires a smaller chimney). Very nice stuff. I prefer glass over plastics, especially polycarbonates like they Svomesto pieces which contains BPA. If plastic is your thing, maybe track down a PMMA tank instead. That's a bit safer. The China clone scene has those available, just look for PMMA in the listing.
