Just canceled the order and received credit cert. Glad to see they now have the ivogo ones angelcigs sells. As soon as the gift cert gets active I'll order those which I prefer
I'd guess you're new with fasttech. If you choose the gift certificate option it shows up immediately in the my account area. You can cancel and turn around and order the other and you'll have your credit there to use. You don't have to wait. That's one of the things they do well.

I've had 3 real kayfun mini 2.1 Es and they are always a pain to fill. Always a mess, however the vape is top notch. Also the u-stand is cool as I have had both the original and the clone on fast tech. The problem with them is not the stand but the ego batteries. They weren't meant to withhold all that weight upside down so the break easily in your pocket. I havent ever tried anything below a 600mah twister so they might work better seeing as they are smaller. Also don't try a gus16 and the u adapter with the kayfun and clear tank. It will break it as there is not enough room. It will work without the clear section tho in big mode and regular.

I got the ivogo mini from anglecigs about 2 weeks ago and for 2 weeks it worked great. But now it floods so bad that my 65vg/35pg juice just pours out the air hole. I've used the regular kayfun for months now with no problems and know how they work. I've replaced all the seals and still it leaks. I suspect the top cap seal is the problem because the way it's designed it surrounds the top of the stove pipe and does not actually create a good positive seal. Unlike the full size kayfun seal (O-ring) which makes positive tight contact between the top of the stove pipe and top cap. I'm kinda at my wits end with this thing. Anyone having this same experience or some ideas to modify or change to a different type of seal?

The fill port is a spring loaded ball against hole design and its known to open without ever being used. The Tobeco suffers from the same issue. If jamming something small enough to get the ball to seat against the hole doesn't work, you can always just glue (I'd use an epoxy myself) the thing shut. Even the original recommends top filling instead of using the fill port.

Danny, I had that problem and it was actually the fill port stuck open, liquid was leaking from all the holes. I jabbed a paperclip in there a few times and it solved it for me.

Thanks to both of you,

That did come to mind so I soaked the base in very hot water for a few minutes then rammed my syringe into the fill hole a few times. Seemed to be OK. I top fill but just to be sure I did clean it. I wound up disassembling and rewicking in case the wick was to big and wicking into the center air hole under the coil, then replaced the top cap seal with a silicone stem cap from an old T3 (fit perfectly into the top cap and is a much better seal then the original o-ring), re-assembled and covered the air hole and blew into the tip and there does not seem to be any leaks. As of now what I've done seems to be doing the trick, I've Been vaping on it now for about 8 hours and so far no leaks or gurgles. I'll just have to wait and see.

Just a quick question. So this does NOT leak if it is workign properly and laid on its side?

That's correct.

After you deal with the initial leakage after filling it. Vape on it for a few minutes, let the pressure regulate it whatever. Then, put it in a pocket or lay it down its fine until its dry.

I have 2 KFL+ clones and just ordered the Kayfun mini from Angelcigs. Looking forward to trying it out. I almost went with a Taifun GT in nano mode or Taifun GS but I heard the Kayfuns were easier to build on. But is there a large vape difference? Think I might pick up a Nautilus mini soon too, sometimes I just need something I can fill up and go and not have to rewick and rebuild. The other night I was suppose to meet up some friends and wanted to rebuild my Kayfun real quick and it ended up taking a while since I kept screwing up since I was kinda rushing. Ahhh... I do love the RBA vape but sometimes I ain't got no time fo dat!

Best thing to do is have one tank always ready to go. Just for occasions like that. That's what I do. I always keep one of the tanks in my rotation near full or full at all times.

Hey guys, I want to buy a kayfun mini clone and after some search I found out the one from Fasttech and the one from Angelcigs. I get that they are the same thing? I live in Greece so I will take the Singapore Post anyway but is there a difference between these two?
There are a few manufacturers that make a Kayfun mini clone. The 2 you've picked are both made by Ivogo. As an alternative, you might want to look at the Ivogo 17mm Kayfun mini clone instead. I know angelcigs carries it and I believe that FastTech carries it also. The 17mm version is also packaged with a Nemi, a mini Nemesis clone, and its called the baby. Its talked about in this thread a bit and a few other threads here too. Google for Ivogo baby for more reviews.
