Hello All,
My kayfun 3.1 clone has been leaking like a sieve from both the airholes and the very bottom-most seam-- the one that i've never unscrewed (I'm under the impression that is not supposed to be disassembled). I tightened it up just a hair and it did seem to fix the problem earlier this afternoon; but alas, she's periodically leaking yet again. The airhole leaking issue is not a big deal unless it is directly related to the seam-leak, which is what I'm beginning to suspect. This is not a fill issue-- i've had the clone for over a month and have become very comfortable filling it without using the side fill port.
Does anyone know if there is an O-ring under there that can be replaced? Is this a common issue with kayfun-type clones? Suggestions? Thanks much in advance!

Quick update, for anyone who might have leaking from that seam in the future:
I got my hands on a kayfun 3.1 owners manual .off and found that that bottom part-- the "excess juice collector"-- is in fact intended to be disassembled from time to time. My clone doesn't look like a 1:1, and so I didn't dismantle it completely, but I did find that there was a shoddy o-ring there that needed to be replaced. I did so and not a leak since.

I also have a Kayfun 3.1 and have found that you must disassemble the "juice collection" tank every so often. It does fill up if nothing else.with condensation. You can take the screw out and remove that section without emptying the tank so it isn't any big deal. That tank is.one of the things done away with in the Kayfun Lite and Kayfun Lite +.
