Kayfun 3.1

[marcw78]

No just thought it would match my mod but they are more of a bronze colour than a brushed silver so will most likely either polish it or brush it more to change the colour to match

ok ... folded some 2mm ekowool and coiled with 4 wraps of 0.2 kanthal and got 2.0 ohm.

Put the clear tank in and filled with 18mg homebrew Jammy Roger.

It's quite difficult to gauge how much to fill with this one and I flooded it. With a quick blow I cleared it and hot ejuice spurted out the air hole. Fixed.

The vape is very very smooth and this reminds me of my first toot on a Spheroid. Think I might finally have reduce my nic with this beast. TH, Flavour and vapour are exceptional. Fit and finish and engineering are stunning.

I bought the brushed finish and it does have a darker colour to what I would call a brushed SS.

Is it worth 120 quid? I'd happily pay 75 quid for a Spheroid whose only drawback is its capacity and its diameter for wider mods. Given this, I think it is worth 120 especially considering I got a free toffee from c9v ...

Time for a lie down, my head is spinning ...

EDITED ... Mrs Ash, the cow, has eaten my toffee !!!

Ash, I was filling mine through the filler hole, which is great but you can get a tiny bit of seepage from there. I guess that some of the juice perhaps dries on the ball bearing valve just enough to stop it sealing 100%. This can be sorted by using the green nozzle provided by Cloud9, (when you next clean it), to force hot water through the filler and doing the same in reverse by using the inlet hole, forcing water outwards. You should not be able to get water out through the filler hole at which point you know you have a clean valve.

I now fill my Kayfun from the top making sure to hold your finger over the air hole. Fill to about 5 mm. below the top of the juice cone and sit the top cap back on by about half a thread,(you should then have a seal between the top of the juice cone and the O`ring, then turn the attie upside down so the juice flows down into the top. Once the juice channel holes are clear of liquid, you can then screw the top fully on, allowing any excess air pressure out through the drip tip.

Since I have been doing it this way, I have not had a single drop of juice seeping out from the fill hole, and although it sounds like an onerous task, it is in fact quicker and easier than slowly filling via the fill hole..........just make sure you have some paper towel below when you turn it upside down the first time until you get the hang of it

Ash, give that figure of 8 wick a go, I'm starting to use it more and more myself.
And the finish on the brushed kayfun has a coating that can be polished out using autosol, 15min job.
The kayfun is my go to attie, you'll understand soon why I sold my spheroids in favour of them. They just wouldn't get used.

I use the fill hole and have zero issues from 4 kayfuns, the trick I use is to pulse the juice in. Squeeze the bottle and release again continually till full, this keeps the ball bearing moving and clean. But whatever way you prefer is always the best if it works for you

Can you use other nozzles to fill it ?

You can as long as they're plastic - but the ones that cloud 9 do are far superior

Yep, I took the coating off of my 3.1s with that polish and a little elbow grease
It ends up semi brushed/shiny. I did it to get a finish that matched my kirFanis evic tubes.

Agree Blakey, I got a few of those oval squeezable bottles from C9 along with a pack of 5 green plastic tips. The silicon plug top thingies with the silicon band that you get with ordinary needle top bottles work a treat on the green plastic tips/oval bottles from C9.

On the seepage problem, I had it both on my 2.1 and 3.1 even by pulsing the liquid in slowly as did a few others and I picked the top filling method up from the C9 forum.
As you say, what ever works is the correct way.

Ash, dont let any metal tip/syringe near the fill valve.
