The plastic hasnt failed me yet (4 months old) and it looks like glass when its filled. But I highly recommend the fogger. Has the pyrex glass that comes with it, and the thing out vapes most of my RDAs. Hard to believe, but its very impressive.
Why dont you just bottom fill the Kayfun like normal? I can get it filled all the way without having even an air bubble when swapping it from rite side up to upside down. That would seem its filled to capacity. I dunno why so many people try to top fill it and make a mess when it has a fill screw at the bottom
It's just at most of my favorite juices are tank crackers. I just stick with the glass tanks. I prefer to see the level of my juice so I don't ever get that burnt or cottony taste.
Are you using tank cracker juices? I have several with cinnamon and banana...and other citrus flavors. I have been trying to win a fogger on a contest thread...We'll see how it goes.
I mostly use menthol, banana, berry flavors, and pineapple which I recently been using and all have ran through the Kayfun without issues. I cant see that plastic strip cracking. I like to see the level of mine as well, but like the look of the chrome strip as well and can usually tell in the vapor if its running low and just fill it. And if Im going out I just fill it before hand. But yea, no signs of degradation after 4 months with mostly only using the plastic strip. The earlier versions of the Fogger have had issues. They finally did get it right with V4 aside from the flow control ring. So if you do alot of mouth to lung hits, you usually would need it to stay at an exact spot more towards being closed, but the thing moves around when the wind blows. But I only do straight lung with it now which if it moves a hair, its not noticeable to me. But they couldn't of gave it a better name lol. The flavors that come off this thing are really unmatched in terms of other RTAs and give off more dense vapor than any RDA I've used.
I rebuild for all my tanks/cartos/RBA/RDA etc.As was stated upstairs,love to tinker with things and some juices go better with different ranges.I had bought several different rolls of 100 foot kanthal for like 5 bucks a roll from 32G down to I think 22g.I pilfer the old ladies cotton balls so that's one less expense.Tis a hoot to rebuild and ya get exactly what ya want where ya want it.I have a box ohm reader which is also a great investment unless you can read and use a regular multi meter.Workin on duel coils to see if it worth rebuilding as a duel or make them single or just go micro with them.

I just ordered my second Kayfun Lite+. I have two Nautilus tanks and one Kayfun now, but I prefer the Kayfun because of the additional flavor. I don't use the plastic part because my juice is known to crack plastic, and I've learned to estimate when the stainless tank needs more juice. It's fun, too, to make the coils.
I'm ready to start rebuilding. I took a hit off of someone's electrical mod with a kayfun lite + v2 clone this weekend at a local vape shop with a juice I normally vape. Holy Smokes! The taste and the cloud was amazing!
I'm not ready to start dripping yet, but I'm about to pull the trigger on a vv/vw mod and kayfun clone this weekend. Saving a ton of money on coils doesn't hurt either. Plus, like many others, I like to tinker, even though the old lady thinks I'm crazy.

It is way cheaper to rebuild! I can tell you with absolute certainty that your quality control will be a thousand times better than a mass produced atty head. You will have a learning curve, however there are a bunch of very helpful people here at ECF whom will be glad to help you. There are also some great YouTube video reviews on rebuildable attys that will help you make a decision. I love the Kayfun 3.1 rba tank system. I have a coil in it now that has already vaped 50ml of juice with little to no degradation in performance at a cost of 20cents give er take a few pennies to produce.

I def enjoy my Kayfun, more so my Fogger V4 since that purchase, but once I drilled the AFC open to 5/64 on the KFL, it has been MUCH MUCH better. Definitely recommend this as its very easily done.
LOL same here! I had a few RDA's but mostly used tanks previous, but it was not until I got the KFL Svomesto that it was end of story, only rebuildables. Then after getting Fogger and drilling out the KFL airflow, it was just not a thought to every purchase any kind of stock coil system again. Game over...
Anyone notice a difference between wrapping on a 1/16th bit compared to a larger one , i can't tell , what about you.
What I have noticed with macro coils is the silica wick can carry more liquid to the coil with out the dry hit of micro coils.

If you add time as an expense then yes it is cheaper to just buy coil replacements but there is no fun in that. It is like someone saying here you have to smoke this type of flavor and nothing else.
If you are going to start building coils you want to read up on the relationship with ohm's, volts, watts and amps so you do not waste your time, money or your face. When I decided to start building coils a whole new world of vaping opened up for me. I even completely quit smoking. Although I had to have one last night after the fight with my daughter. Damn 11 year olds think they know it all. You can use the same ejuice and get different flavors with different coils you build and how you set them up. Next thing you know you have to walk around the room with shoes on so you do not get stabbed with a rogue piece of wire that you clipped off the ends.
I have read so much on the electrical terms that I could wire a house now. No not really but the things you learn you will know how more stuff works. Just a side bonus.
I saw one post where someone had a magnetized metal lid, upside down to work over. I have a plastic tub I work over, that holds my recoiling gear. I think a layer of bathroom tissue on a plate will catch those nasty things.
Hey guys went down last week bought 30 feet of 34 kanthal 10 foot of silica 2mm wick for $10.00. Already rebuilt 30 T3S coils now trying cotton as a wicking agent then will try wool to find out which one I like best. Don't think I will have to buy anymore coils for a long time. And yes definitely watch RippTide on you tube he's good at it. You'll learn a lot. Vape on my friends.
34g Kanthal? Man thats def not an enjoyable build to do. Anything 32 and over really doesn't hold its form good enough for me to bother with. If you try to make a tight micro coil it springs, and unravels and just isnt fun to use. 28 and 26 guages are awesome though. I'm sure it wouldnt work on rebuilding stock coils with wire that big, but when you get into pure rebuildables, def go that route. Much more of a pleasure to work with.
For your info I have built T3S coils with 25 kanthal and they are definitely easier than the smaller wire. The only problem I have with them is heat on the larger wire size. I am still able to get the OHMs I want and they do work.
