^I have to mod it... came with pins for contacts instead of screws.. I only have 26awg, so I'll try to use a smaller gauge and stuff legs in contact holes...but I'm probably going to mod it anyway for using normal screws.:(

oh well... price you pay for clones.. especially being one of the first to purchase them.

Ok... found some 28awg in my numerous eh pro boxes. The pins actually work well for this.. but screws would work just as well with 28awg+..

Biggest problem I have with it is that the evaporation chamber's chimney doesn't come off...so I can't use my typical build with it, just incase wick moves putting evaporation chamber on...

Pretty open airflow..airhole just over 1.5mm

First attempt with pins and 30awg...

Didn't want to waste liquid on a full nest with first build... future builds will be a full navy nest with this one..

Edit- I'll stuff wick in wick well next build..

I've recently looked in to this and have seen listings all over alibaba for Kayfun mini clones, so I suspect that they will be hitting the market en masse in the next month or so.

I wouldn't guinea pig myself with the first couple of batches unless they came from Hcigar. Otherwise I'd let others buy it and expose any flaws before I sank money in to one.

That said, I really want one badly. I'd like to get a Microstick, and the Kayfun Mini is the only RBA that I would get that fits.

I have an OG 14500 coming on a trade.. only reason I bought it. I can see the plastic tank causing sealing issues. I didn't even consider looking at the deck more closely..screws for contacts with only resistance wire atomizer builds are something I consider practically a specification with making these, but I was surprised how easy the pins made assembly.. took me a minute to wrap, set, and wick. I will definitely get more when the bigger companies have them available.

Taifun GS not an option for you?

It sort of is.

The clearance for the Microstick is 16mm. The Taifun with the plastic tank (I wouldn't want to run a stainless tank - I like to see my juice) is 17mm. It can work if I get a 510 extension made by a guy in England which would make it possible to use it with the Taifun GS, but then that defeats the purpose of having such a small MOD. So Kayfun mini is it.

I could also get a Spheroid (which are supposed to be awesome) but I don't really want to spend $90 each when I need 3 or 4 of them.
