Kayfun issues

Sub you're not in Thailand are you?

 

No. Planning to come in April or may though. May be delayed; ended up getting medical school interview.

Well, I have the Kayfun Lite style, and I have the $24 Es style too. I actually really like the fasttech lite version except for the damn insulators and o-rings. The threading and metal is actually good. O-rings and insulators will need to be replaced. This is what I was talking about. These are the actual KFL's from fasttech. Notice that the center portion (the positive part) should ordinarily not be blackened from charring. And there should be an insulator underneath. It looks like the damn thing melted.




As for the airflow, I like the fasttech standard KFL. I like an airy draw so it's good with me. The airflow on the KFL+ is mounted on the bottom, AND it doesn't open up airflow, but just reduces it:



IMHO the KFL+ is worthless. If you tighten up atty to mod (or use a hybrid kit) you'll be cutting off airflow. I still like the Fasttech KFL, but I know I have to replace all the insulators (and probably O rings).

 

thanks for that.:thank you thank you i think i will go for it because i o-rings and insulators are pretty cheap and not a hard fix even for me. i am fine with an airy draw, i just dont like the draw to be too tight. looks like the KFL it is, now to break my 30+ day streak of zero purchases.

 

even with O-Riing problems and insulator problems...I still really like the KFL that Fasttech is selling. I am thinking about buying more. But, yeah, you need to change the insulators and o-rings.

 

Now you're confusing me. Every KFL+ and clone I've seen has the airflow hole on the side, as does the one in your photo. The airflow adjustment screw may be on the bottom, side, or non-existent. Tightening the atty won't affect the airflow at all. Also, there is no hybrid kit for the KFL+, only the 3.1.

I haven't had a problem with any O-rings either. The only insulators I've seen an issue with is the paper ones, but I don't have that model.

 

seems i do. where are these paper insulators? when my crappy made Tobeco Russian clone gets here i might pull my crappier cheap Charlie clone to bits and see if i can't perform a manual fix.

Think you're correct about airflow on KFL+ (I don't have one, but thought since it adjusted on bottom that it went through there.)

And, I just got back from vape shop to have the insulators replaced. The fasttech insulators are thinner than the HCigar, but was informed that when doing a vertical microcoil I should be nesting the cotton on the outside so as to allow airflow through center, and by putting cotton in the center it was getting real hot (so it is my fault to some extent or another). I should also point out I've been doing that on the HCigar (which has a thicker insulator) without any problem. The replacement insulators are as thick as the ones that come stock on the HCigar, for what it's worth.


And one more thing, fasttech just came out with the Nano kit for about $5 (which is what I have been waiting for). For those wanting their KF to be a tad bit smaller, this is awesome. $5.19 Kayfun Nano Body Kit at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping




The one on the left is a gold plated nano kit (which I bought stateside for $20) on a fasttech KFL, next to standard fasttech KFL, next to fasttech ES 3.1.

 

Still waiting for the stainless steel kayfun.
The other one i bought is now sitting proudly at the bottom of my fish pond!

 

Just gone on FT: hybrid connector for Kayfun 3.1 & Nemesis $2.09

$2.09 Connection Parts for Kayfun v3.1 RDA Nemesis Mod at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping



Note: Will only work on 3.1 I think?

 

Got two of them in my shopping cart already. Should be a nice little addition, I freaking hate the top cap of the Nemesis, the damn airflow screw always spins when I'm trying to take it off to adjust the Kick.

 

Take the bottom part off the Kayfun 3.1, take the top cap off the Nemesis, screw them together.
