Leaking Kayfun Lite problem solved!!

[cocacola31173]

I have been using Kayfuns for the last year and 2 and always struggled with condensation or other leaking underneath. Especially on my MVP Pro. But then I found a tip (Which Im sure a lot of others already did but I never did)

What I started doing is lubing the bottom O ring after I clean them and before I fill them. Now it stays dry as a bone! I don't know if this was the problem but it the only other thing I have been doing different.
Just though I would pass this on for others suffering from this same problem.

I use Teflon tape on the fill screw. Never have leaking problem.

My fill screw does not come with an o ring and tephlon has not helped. I think the condensation goes through the air hole and eventually comes out. A loose wick will make the problem worse. Drops of liquid will leak directly into the air hole.

That problem was fixed on the EHPro kayfun 3.1. There's a fill screw under the bottom cap, but no one uses it because there's also an allen screw on the side that's removable for a quicker fill without removing the bottom cap.

Once in a while I'll remove the bottom cap to check it. Occasionally, there's a dab of condensation in there that came from the air tube, but none ever leaks out into the 510 connector.

Replacing O-rings periodically does wonders for leakage. If you cover the air holes with a finger and pull a vacuum on the drip tip and hold it with the tip of your tongue it should maintain the vacuum for at least 10 seconds if the O-rings are good.

 

[adesara]

Yes. O-rings are sometimes the culprit. If internal air balance is disturbed due to problematic O- ring leak is inevitable.

The whistling problem is also partially caused by condensation inside the air hole. I notice the whistling often goes away once I have dried out the air hole.

That doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't the hex hole lead into the chamber not the tank itself?

It's like a set screw with a stand slot, not a hex. It's on the side of the coil deck and leads right in the tank through the holes in the deck. As long as the Phillips screw in the chamber is in place, no juice enters the chamber. The juice holes leading to the coil deck are isolated from each other.

Mine's an EHPro 3.1 version. Detailed pictures of the Svoemesto are here with blowup diagrams. Mine has the 2L side fill hole as well as the phillips screw under the bottom cap. There are two channels leading to the tank through the coil deck on the EHPro and only one on the Svoemesto.
