Lovely piece of work solac77 and I'm sure your dad will be delighted, particularly as you made it and it wasn't bought. |

Cheers, was this the place? www.intaste.de/en/full-tank-kayfun-v-2-1.htmlI really like my kayfun mini but can't get it to wick without dry hitting as is. Makes a nice dripper though Think the all plastic tank looks to solve the wicking problem as the juice can actually get through the gap unhindered |

Whats the prob with ur KFM? have you tried snipping the wick to about 5-7ml each side. Wetting it and just ever so slightly nudge down so that the juice flows round it? Also check out pancake wick method....works a treat...Youtube somewhere |

I think the problem seems to be clearance between the chimney base and inner tank walls and/or the juice channels / inlets being too small. It's a tobeco clone I have and seems to be a known issue with that one.
I will try the wicking methods you suggested. I experimented with pancake wicks not so long ago but can't remember if I tried in the kfm or not.
I broke the plastic tank section so just can do the all ss configuration now.
