I have a few issues with my kayfun leaking a lot after filling up. I do fill from the top since I do not have a needle bottle to use the hole for. I've made sure the rubber grommet is in place and everything, I even flip the tank and screw the top to make sure it creates a vacuum but it still leaks. If I flip over the kayfun it leaks drop after drop from the drip tip after I try to suck the juice out of the tank that is creating the gurgling when I'm vaping. I've also made sure to cover the airhole when top filling and flipping over the tank to create the vacuum but it still leaks a good amount. What am I doing wrong?

Possibly not enough wick, once you flood the chamber from top filling the wick cannot stop the flow. this is if you are sure the oring is not pinched or displaced.
Plus one on this.....gotta have enough wick to lightly cover those juice channels.
To me it seemed there was enough cotton, I push the extra cotton down and to the sides avoiding the channel for the juice.
If your already gurgling and flooding, you can't keep sucking to "get the juice out" all your doing is PULLING more juice into the wick chamber. Best thing to do is fire and slowly pull, or even don't pull at all to try and burn up some of the excess. Also, when you do finally take a puff don't go all fast food milkshake on the kayfun and try to suck the cotton out, pull lightly. The only reason I say that is I've handed my working kayfun to buddies and they made it gurgle with such a puff style. Just my two cents.
Well I'm trying to break the kayfun down so I can clean, re-wick and try again but I cant get that bottom cap off for the life of me... I don't have any latex gloves sitting around and using a towel is not helping.

@Travis,
unscrew the centre pole first,, then its easy to get the bottom cap off (in the taifun clone i do it this wayP

I had the same problem. For me it was that the chimney was not straight. The top part of the chimney was a little bent so the o ring in the topcap leaked. If you take off the drip tip make sure the chimney is perfectly straight and alined. If its not: screw off the topcap put a screwdriver into the chimney and bent it straight. I had a little click and no more leaking
I found this works when top filling the KFL: Keep your finger over the air hole while filling and starting to screw the top cap on. turn the KF upside down and finish tightening the top. Keeping the KF upside down, wipe up any juice coming from the drip tip to help keep juice from getting in your mouth in the next step. While keeping the KF upside down put your finger over the air hole and suck on the drip tip with the KF above your head to create a vacuum. While still sucking and holding your finger over the hole, tip the KF so the bottom is turned down. The juice will run to the bottom and the vacuum will be displaced to the top. Stop sucking and then remove your finger. I read this technique on this site, so I can't take credit, but it Works- Unless you overfill the KF and don't leave enuf room for the vacuum

I agree with t-ball and Thrasher the punk rocker....probably not enough wick. However, I had one doing the same thing once. Take the tank section off...leaving all 3 pieces screwed together, roll it across a table. If it curves, one of the sections is cocked. The threads are so fine its hardly noticeable. I think I dropped mine and then it started leaking. It jumped a thread throwing the top seal outta whack.
you need to quit running around the web and hassling people
(ran into some dude called metalhed on NV, he said hi!)

Thanks guy, the reassemble went better than the last tank so I think I did everything correct this time. I only have one more question, how are Kayfuns when it comes to 100vg juice? I'm almost out of my usual 50/50's so I might tap into my collection of 100vg's until I get more 50/50.
With higher pg, I've found I need to do a no power pull.
With experience, you'll be able to detect when you are about to get a dry burn. When you detect a dry burn approaching, you can take a no power pull or two to bring juice into the chamber to wet the wick, If a "regular" no power pull isn't enough, you can learn to do a no power pull with your finger over the air hole to pull even more juice into the chamber.
