Pick up one of those "rocket" Kayfun style clones from FastTech and try making those juice channels larger.

Here is a picture of my 2 KLites & 2 Stratus22's. The left is TR cap n switch on a jm22 18350 tube, grenada fluid. second from left nem in 18350, nano kit on klite (NICE!!) then paps v2 18350, paps v2.5 18500.
I've been using the Russian 91% for a few weeks now and I'm liking it a lot. I make use of the airflow control and the telescoping center pin. My only gripe is the finish - I'm not digging it as it really doesn't look awesome with any of my mods.
So, I just picked up a Kayfun Lite Plus from Vaperev. I do appreciate having authentic gear and I think that the brushed finish will go much better with my mods (and probably look more awesome).

Yes, my OCD goes down to tube finish & flush fit. The polished KLite nano kit looks great on the nem & KLite.
I gotta say...I've had my KFL for more than two months. I have yet to experience a dry hit, flooding, or a single drop of leakage. The fill hole screw has never failed. The air draw is perfect. Never had a single issue with rebuilding it. The drip tip is perfect. It is, by far, the most fuss-free device I have owned. And of course the vape quality is unsurpassed. SM can monkey with the design all he wants and I can look at a thousand different KFL setups but I have no reason to change a thing. God wanted me to have a Kayfun.
Life is good.
7 watts. I'm a low power vaper.
This is exactly what I thought. From all my playing with the kayfun what ive found is its difficult to vape the kayfun at high power levels without needing to take primer puffs or increasing draw to fire ratio. At 15 watts I draw more that I fire. I draw a nice long consistant draw but I pulse my firing, like this ......*****.........***........**...***........ firing on the *'s but drawing the duration. This increases feed rate to power ratio. This causes more feed and lets the wicking keep up with whats being burnt off into vapor. Ive also considered opening the holes a bit, it won't cause flooding at all, it will just increase the swell area. I'm not so sure it will cause more actual feed volume but I think it will to a certain extent just by allowing less restriction but the actual volume displaced is more determined by pressure differential than orifice diameter I think. Really theres only one way to find out, ill machine my channels tonight in my 3.1. Ive looked at it and thought about it for a while now, actually its not going to be making the channels deeper, it's going to be more making the channels wider but same depthn dont want to go deeper into the threads but want to widen the channels from this |__| to this |___| and try it, may even wind up going to |____| twice as wide depending on results.if you look at the holes through the window you'll see exactly what I mean
The orifice size is very important. I caution you to take it easy on increasing the size. The orifice may be sized conservatively which will allow you to get much more feeding. On the other hand it may be as large as possible and any opening will cause major flooding problems. Good luck!!
Last week there was no way I was getting one. I think the $99 dollars pushed me over the edge. 104 bucks out the door! I feel like everyone needs atleast 2 kayfuns on hand. Tried cheap knock offs but none were even a serviceable back up. Hopefully it'll get here before the weekend!

Sticking to spending moratoriums on vape gear is as hard as quitting smoking.
That is perhaps the only negative about Kayfuns. They're not good for quick flavor changeovers.
Enjoy your plus Lord!
VapeRev and InTaste both cut their pricing on the Plus Vs the Unplus. About $11.
It appears InTaste is still selling them. But then I can't tell if they have them in stock. I see VapeRev is out of stock on all the 3.1's. You could be right.
well I vape the lite at hi power 95 percent of the time. my go to set up is 26g micro coil & cotton on a 1/16 diameter bit, I do 8 wraps for a resistance just under 7 ohms. this power may not be as strong as one might think because of my mech device. I have tested this mech under load and it only produces 3.6 to 3.7v after the v-loss. this results in total watts of just under 20 on a fresh battery charge, and this is only for a short time because of the constant draw of the battery. so really I would say my average vaping wattage is about 17 watts. this is not that much difference to vaping a constant 15 watts on a vv device, the only difference is I just prefer thicker wire so I vape the mech. anyways I don't have much trouble vaping the k-lite at this power level although from time to time, if the wick is just not perfect I will get a slight muted flavor and have to re do my wick. so I do believe the k-lite doesn't lend itself well at power any, or that much higher then what I have been vaping because of the wicking capabilities of this device. I feel like if someone were to vape this device at over 20 watts there will be issues with this devices keeping up with the vape. before possibly enlarging the juice channels maybe try to unscrew the chamber slightly, maybe just a 1/4 turn. this might duplicate your plan to enlarge. I think donnah had done this before when she was having wicking issues, im not sure if it actually worked for her. I have an aqua tank that has a juice control, all this is is the chamber unscrews on command, this would be the same as manually keeping a gap in the chamber of the k-lite.
the way it screws together the top o ring would turn the chimney which would turn the chamber and seat it even if you did leave it a little loose, don't think that's a consistent way to test it. I decided to just try opening the holes a little, nothing ventured nothing gained, and nothing ruined too, so guess it could go either way
first thing I di was measured and marked it
then I used a pointed tip carbide dremel bit and shaved a bit off
not a whole lot, I'd guess I opened it up ~30% more than it was. I only did the verticals because they seem like the biggest restriction
first build I went a little light on the wick and built my best feeding setup I normally run
after the build just using it the way I always have before it was feeding too much juice and eventually gurgles and then floods, so I opened my airflow wide and took softer draws, then I tweaked the build with an extra tiny puff of wick in each well and right now it seems to be doing very good. I'm so used to having to exert extra effort to the draw with the kayfun now I have to get used to using it this way for a few days and see how it is but so far it's looking like I can control the amount of excess feed by adding a little extra filler to the wells, and lighter draws seem to be enough to feed it now but it's only been a few hours, time will tell
