For everyone here that ordered the kayfun 3.1 clone FT says they will be shipping in 5-8 business days and they are shipping them with free spare parts including a stainless steel tank section and a 510 drip tip adapter as an apology for the delay, apparently the manufacturer had problems keeping up with demand .

WOOHOO!!! Thank goodness I didn't cancel. Gotta love free stuff! Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah... I'm getting somewhat excited now.... new toys... I've always been intrigued by the KF... but instantly dismissed it based on that price. It is supposed to be a great device for out and about, but for the KF and Russian price, it'd be carefully stowed away in a safe place when I'm not home or in the office.... But for $21? I'll care little about any dings or scratches

I still can't help look at it as just a Protank or Evod on steroids though. It kinda is...

Gasp! Go wash out your mouth young man!!

I know.... But it is... You got a coil sitting at the bottom on top of the air hole... juice is in a tank around the coil chamber and it comes in via two little holes. Vape goes up a tube.

Evod!

Evod!

Yes, and while the Fiat 500 and Ferarri F12 are both Italian cars, I would not necessarily compare them.

Hey bronze I was having some issues getting a consistent vape on my kayfuns on mechs. Not wicking good enough. So I reached out to X for a few pointers and low and behold there was a bunch of different wicking methods. The navy nest is by far the best way to get this thing running perfectly. The minute I got it built and vaping I could tell a difference. I thought one of my channels on one was not milled good enough and was blaming everything else but myself.

If you get a chance check out the vids on YouTube. The navy nest and the double strand navy nest. It's super easy to do and gives you a constant perfect vape. I am a believer. Now I want a 3rd. DOH

I'll take the fiat...

... if it comes with the model from the ads.

Big difference between the two. The Evod (and like bccs) have the coil at the level of the juice intake and the wick is exposed to the outside of the chamber. The Kayfun's deck is raised above the intake level. Since the juice must fight gravity to travel up the channels, it depends entirely on the vaccum created in the tank. The result is a self regulating flow of juice much less prone to both flooding and drying. If the Evod were redesigned to raise the coil above the intake holes, it would be a much better device.

Thank you for making sense where I could not..

Smit...Craig put up a nest vid and I watched the whole thing. Interesting to be sure. But I haven't had a single wicking issue with my Kayfun from the very first draw. Maybe I'm lucky. Well, I am lucky. And that never happens so I'm just leaving it alone. But glad it is working for you.

Agree! The Kayfun shares some similarities to a bottom coil (juice in tank goes down, vape is cooled through the chimney) but the raised deck is a big difference.

Good plan of not messing with the Mojo, General. I haven't re-coiled any of my K-Lites, seeing as how well the twisted 32 coils are working. The only thing I'm doing is swapping out the cotton every 4 days or so.

What's the saying, Dust? If it aint broke, don't fix it?

Yeah I was the opposite. I could only vape 3-4 hits before getting a dry one. Was bumming me out. I tried everything. But now I have a method and man o man. I need to get some more juices. I have my HDV custard in the one and headys in the other. Starting to get away from the baccos slowly but surely. Also just ordered another MVP. My v1 crapped the bed and had no idea I would miss it so much. So I found a great deal and got another.
