    Did they get the kinks worked out of these? The initial run had some issues. Almost pulled the trigger on a kit at SHOMO but went with SOV. Hoping the SOV kit works out better, if it ever gets shipped.
    I have a Tarsius Full Size Kayfun Quartz Kit, i know the 1st batch came with bad tanks. Mine fits like a glove on my R91 now. I am also waiting on the SOV glass kit. Also won a free top cap, no notice yet. I actually like my Tarsius kit, but it is heavy.

    Looks nice crss. Are the ends polished?

    Sounds like the SOV's may be going out soon. I ordered the regular kit with a extra tank. When you get yours it would be nice to know if you prefer one over the other.

    Brew mn, the ends are not polished, but it does look that way sitting on the Russian 91. I just picked it up and set it next to my solid SS KLite mod. About the same finish. I do like the kit, but really looking fwd to the SOV kit. He said they were going to ship out this week, but he is a one man factory. I remember paying for a Stratus22 genny, took four months to arrive. My R91 took about that long to arrive also. SOV makes some very nice stuff, i have a top cap. I also ordered the standard set + nano glass. I hope some time next week it arrives. I will post pictures and compare the two kits.

    I have a Kayfun Lite and really like it. It has surprisingly surpassed my Z-Atty's as my primary Atty. They're just easy, and they don't leak!
    I was interested in trying out the adjustable airflow and I liked the addition of the o-ring on the fill screw. Hey, this all sounds great right?

    Well, I just got my new Kayfun Lite Plus2 from the Cloud9 in the UK. I have not set it up at all, as I think I'm going to return it. Thus the post. I want to make see if anyone else is seeing the same thing as me.

    The quality of this Atty is not what I expected from SM. Mainly, it's two issues, Materials and Threading. The metal feels light and like aluminium. The threads are not even close to being as fine as those on the SMv3 or the Kayfun Lite I have. The pieces mate too easily and every threaded join wiggles until they are screwed down all the way or an o-ring is engaged. Then there's the evaporation chamber. It hangs up on the juice grooves on the base and doesn't screw down smoothly.

    I have always loved the great threading on the other SM products I have. It's one of the reasons I switched to them from Provari.....IMHO - an even better quality build. These issues do not exists on with either my SMv3or my original Kayfun Lite.

    Did I get a bad atty that should have been rejected by quality control, or is this the new norm for the Kayfun Lite Plus2 and SM in general?

    Maybe it has to do with smaller diameter being more compact, feeding off the heat of itself better, like how touching coils heat up quicker than spaced coils. Maybe it's that smaller diameter equals more wraps at the same resistance. Or maybe one of the reasons you guessed. The quicker heat response is noticable with a large difference of diameter on two coils with equal resistance, but a small difference in diameter would be harder to notice. Dropping the resistance by say a tenth of an ohm would equal out the difference.
    I was going to also say that, about one feeding off of the others but haven't really done 2 side by side to see.

    I have 3 lites and one kayfun lite plus. not sure if its a plus 2 but I got it about a month ago. unlike my lites, this plus has a the adjustable airflow and the oring on fill hole. also the fill hole is recessed more. so if were talking about the same device then I must say the plus seems exactly like all of my lites. the weight, threading and overall quality is identical. the 2 different features however don't make any difference to me at all. I initially set the air control to basically flush with the bottom and will most likely never touch it again. also the oring has already been smushed and needs to be replaced(maybe I was over tightening). with my reg lites, I never had an oring or never needed one. also I don't like the deeper recess in the fill hole, my liquid doesn't seem to go down as easily. all in all they are the same though but I do like the kayfun lite better then the plus.

    Can anyone recommend a online store that i can purchase a new authentic Kayfun 3.1 OR Lite? Would of course need a US seller or an international one that ships.

    Also recommendations on what extra parts i would need to order with it so i dont have to worry about it for six months or so. Also recommendations on what else this noob might need with use with a GP Paps X.

    Found Cloud9 and Ultramist online showing they have it in stock.. Can anyone recommend either?
