Hi all, my 1st post in this thread.

Just felt like posting this if anyone finds it useful.

I got my KFL+ 6months ago, it's a clone but not sure manufactured by whom, it came in a black box with no label. Very well built, supposedly 1:1.
It works right out with whatever coil I put in it, no dry hits, no leaks and I was happy with it. I got it for the main purpose as an 'outdoor' atty as I've been using drippers all these while and a real hassle when I'm outside the house.

One thing I noticed, it has 'tightish' draw since I lung inhale in all my RDAs. I removed the air setscrew completely and it was a bit better but still tight. Read about people drilling the base hole, mine measured 1/16(1.6mm) all the way in, the center post hole measured 1.5mm and obviously the choke point, so I enlarged it a bit to 1.6mm, same as the base.
Draw improved slightly but still can't lung hit comfortably without slipstreaming.

Remembered reading here that some folks open up the center post to 5/64(1.98mm) and get good airflow but the walls of the post will be quite thin and may break when install/uninstall. After thinking about it, I'm willing to never ever to remove the post to change insulator or cleaning, so I tightened it as much as I could before drilling out to 5/64,together with the base hole as well.
Airflow improves considerably but somehow not quite there yet for me, plus beginning to get dry hits occasionally.

Tried searching if anyone drilled bigger than that. Seems that some opened up to 3/32(2.34mm) but only for the base hole. Center post wall looks quite thin but a little bit more reaming should be ok. Took out a 2.2mm bit and open it up as well as the base hole. Now the walls look real thin,haha. Think it'll break if I try to take it out.

Enlarged the juice channels as well and now finally I can lung hit like my RDAs with lots of vapor. Amazingly,I don't really notice any loss of flavour and very comparable performance to my RDAs (IGO-W, Nimbus and Zenith V2, all running single coils). So far tried up to 24w with no issues.

To think that I was looking at Orchid V2 or Fogger V4 to replace this KFL+ as my out and about atty, now it's staying with me as my reliable and good performing companion:toast:
I have opened up main air holes to 5/64 but to scared to try the center pin hole. Actually the draw from just the main enlargement is pretty good for me because I don't really do lungers. I think you will be good if you don't mess with it but I would be surprised if your center pin doesn't crack after a drop or just in time, hopefully it doesn't though

Love FT....

Yep me too, Love FT ;) Most of my batteries and drip tips come from there. And a plethora of my kids' toys & nitty-gritty's.

Oh yes, the chargers, adapters, cables, keyboards, mouses - damn, so many goodies! Love their pricing and the superfast transit to our side of the globe. Most of my stuff land up within 10-days, some even in 6-days. Those guys are good! Faster than things from stateside and also within the border :)

Does anyone know a good site/shop for Kayfun/Russian spare parts? I have searched high and low for the 510 drip tip adapter for my Russian 91 and I cannot find that specific part for the life of me.

If this is not the proper place for this please let me know, I am posting out of haste.

Are you referring to the screw-on adapter that lets you use any 510 drip tip? I have one that I no longer use. If that's what you are looking for, PM me your address and I can send it to you.

That is exactly what I am looking for, apparently they do not sell just that part.

I guess as long as I don't mess with it further, it should be good(grab a piece of wood to touch),haha. Looking at it,it still have enough material to hold the positive block sturdily, just may or may not survive further torquing.

Ok so would I need an entirely new top cap? I was under the impression that the 510 drip tip adapter was a piece that screwed into the top of the top cap. In that case, I still cant find this dang part anywhere. I guess I will search for a top cap that matches the Russian 91 finish.

Thanks!

Does the Kayfun 3.1 drip tip adapter fit the Russian? Is so......$1.75 Replacement Spare Parts for Kayfun v3.1 Atomizer at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Is it me or does the KFL perform better after letting sit for an hour or so before starting to chain smoke it.


I think it depends on the wicking medium and how much is used. With cotton, I find letting it sit for 15 minutes or so lets the juice saturate the cotton. With Rayon, a few minutes and it's ready to go.
