Kayfun v4 help needed

[Lee]

Recently got a kayfun v4 purely because of the looks.

I'm well experienced with coil building as I also drip. The problem I have is it seems to leak very slightly I must be doing something wrong I tried new o rings as well to no avail. Seems to be a very small amount dribbling out the air hole now and again nothing major but it pisses me off.

It is a clone but a very good one all the treads are spot on very good detail etc right down to the packaging with the hologram and poster etc you would pass it off as a genuine one easily. So how can I get it to stop leaking I have tried more wick less wick juice control off when filling etc this might not bother most but it does me! Also with the air screw completely removed its still quite a tight draw for me, I have read you can buy a sub kit to increase air flow? Does anyone have one? If so does it make a big difference? Would love to use this as a daily because I love the way it looks.

Any help appreciated before i end up putting it up for sale!

If you're not getting any gurgling, it can't be leaking through the airhole below the coil, so it must be getting through the o-ring round the square section. Try one wrap of dental floss under the o-ring.

Will try this tomorrow thanks. I'm assuming you have one? How do you find it? Do you get any leaks at all? I get a little pop sometimes when I first fire but no gurgling. Really want to enjoy this because the flavour is incredible and it looks stunning.

I gave up on mine. I've put a KFL base on the K4 body and it works great.

I put the K4 base on the KFL body and I'm using it as dripper without the chimney.

Now this I'm interested in. Why didn't I think of this do you have a photo? Will the kfl base fit straight in?

Yes, I've tried 3 different ones and they all fit. I'll upload some pics when I get home.

Here it is on an SMPL. I think it looks stunning. The base is this one from FT: https://www.fasttech.com/p/2019500

That looks amazing. I'm assuming none of the v4 features will work? Juice control air flow etc?

No, it just becomes a posh KFL. You get the benefit of the K4 evaporation chamber, which may or may not be better than the KFL, but you do get to rescue a good looking tank and you get a really good dripper with the leftovers.

Will be ordering the base from fastech later to try this. One last question, what's the situation with filling? Same way as a kfl I'm assuming as there will be no juice control to turn off?
