I've sold my cap so I can't try it, but hcigar has a kayfun clone that comes with a nano kit, and the nano-rings are a little taller than your standard nano rings that both you and I have in our pictures.. Considering the chimney is only slightly too long that small amount of added height from the mid-sized hcigar rings might allow you to use matching rings with the cap.

Unfortunately hcigar only offers the kit in a package along with the KFL, but I figured I'd let you know in case you wanted to try another configuration and were going to get another KFL in the future. I really wish they would sell the nano kit by itself because the rings and top cap are both really nice, I've got the top cap sitting on my authentic KFL with full size rings and it still makes it a bit smaller compared to the stock setup on the right.

I got a new white vv3 to match my white ceramic driptip, which I *love* on my Kayfun. You'd think a 22mm tank would be too fat for a vv3, but it actually looks nice.

I have a few nano kits and the HCigar kayfun kit with nano and nano top cap. I ran into that tobh styled top cap problem too. I eventually fit the slammed nano cap on one of the nano sets of rings cant remember which... the tobh styled top cap will only fit with at least one stock Kayfun ring... i think that's how it was. I'll post back... i have a slew of rings and caps and parts i'll mess around with later. The super small nano cap on the nano drop kit rings is awesome for carrying in the pocket! It just holds very little juice lol.

I just got my KFL+ clone and had a local shop build it up since I didn't feel comfortable doing it and the damn thing leaks like a submarine with screen doors. Is there anything you guys could think of that would make the thing leak like a sieve out of the airflow hole? He did fill it from the top which I wouldn't have done but I can't see that causing this much leakage.

Is it possible that he used too much cotton and that's causing the issue? I gotta drain the thing later and see how far he set the coil from the airhole and how much cotton is actually in there. Is there anything else you can think of to check for?

Most likely it is because of top filling incorrectly, sometimes you can fix by holding it upside down and blow thru air intake, leave for a few seconds and turn right side up. If this doesn't work, take apart and refill from fill port. While it's opened up check to see if little oring has fell out or has moved. This oring is where the top of chimney presses into. Lastly about wick tails being to big, can cause gurgling but not excessive leaking

sounds like he didnt use enough cotton. When u pull in a hit, ur sucking in more liquid than the cotton in place is able to hold. not wicking fast enough

Funny you mentioned that. I have an erlk tank, this tank requires the tails to be extremely thin, almost so thin you can count the fibers. This in the erlk performs great so I got bored and tried it in the kayfun. Anyways it worked quite well but if the device sat for a long period of time, the wick sort of dried and needed to be primed. Like you, I had initially thought that because of this extremely thin tail I might encounter some flooding or gurgling, but to my surprise it didn't happen.

    Also, just make sure that your finger isn't blocking the airhole when vaping. I use to have a bad habit of that when I got my first KFL (d'oh!)
