Is it worth it? Yes...
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Overall impression:
I will over time be acquiring many more of these - well at least another one of these and possibly 1-2 of it's smaller sibling - I'm in the unique position where I have to cater for two vapers - myself and the wife; and I want one of these for both of us and the smaller sibling if it turns out to be just as good for both of us also.
Should you get one - Definitely - but get a clear tank to help with filling. Best way to fill with metal tanks would be to source a suitable nozzle to put onto a syringe and then you can accurately fill without fear of flooding the device and safely use fluids that would kill plastic tanks. - Makers - please change the design to put the clear section at the base to assist with accurate filling.

I've taken the liberty of putting it into PDF format for anyone who wants to save a copy in a format that is easily read and/or printed out..

Advantages:
- Gurgling? None - ever - UNLESS you forcibly suck through the mouthpiece in which case you will flood the chamber - but you have to do it on purpose! I have Oddy's and Term's - they gurgle - they always gurgle at some point - the design almost guarantees this. The Kayfun being a mutated tank-fed dripping-atomiser and through it's design will only gurgle if it is practically totally flooded which very rarely happens unless physically induced.
- Leaking ? None - Even though my catch tank got half full with fluid it never leaked out of the connector - good design on the bush here prevents this..
- Vapour production? Excellent. Press your mod button and gently blow through the air intake - watch as you become a steam train....
- Coil and wick setup? Easy peasy - No seriously - EASY.
- Taste? Excellent
- Throat hit? Good to great - very much dependent on the juice but you might even need to drop your nic level a touch - similar effect as you can get with a well set up spheroid.
- Filling? Very easy and fuss free BUT you do need a specific kind of nozzle - spares should be acquired.
- Adjustable air draw - something you don't think you need until you try one where it works brilliantly - found this to be one of the best features of the device.
- Quality of machining? - Outstanding - nuff said.
- You can use your own drip tips with the supplied adapter - excellent design addition.
Disadvantages:
- You do really need a see through tank if you want to keep an eye on the fluid level - else you just wait for the taste to diminish.
- It is a bit long - especially when on a 18650 mod.
- If you chain vape too much too fast - taste and vapour WILL diminish a touch - a problem with most all atomisers really. BUT a quick sharp suck on the mouthpiece will forcibly load the wicks and you can carry on - this will not be a problem for most vapours who will be happy after 4-5 drags.
- Filling? Unless you have a clear tank you will never be able to accurately get it filled to the maximum - you see you CAN fill it to the max but with the metallic base tube you will not be able to see when you're getting close to full and you will only then know when you have flooded the chamber of the atomiser section and juice is pissing out of the mouthpiece onto your hand. With a clear tank this is no longer a problem. The default set-up for the clear section SHOULD be for the base - NOT the middle - like one of the variants of it's smaller brother - this would negate this issue totally.
Recommendation :- Get the clear tank. Makers - revise and make the clear section fit on the base first!
