I think the whistle is inherent in these kayfun lite clones and is due to the shape of the air hole / air control screw interface. No that definitely is not the case, I ordered 2 of these one polished the other frosted (or whatever they call it ) the polished is perfect but the frosted whistles like a steam train I have tried comparing to see any differences but can't see any A real puzzler Mine is the polished version so I don't think that the whistle is specific to the frosted version .... anyhow I'm a happy bunny now that I have cured it with a little bit of sellotape.

I received my 91% from VB just before Xmas, but haven't had the time until now to try it. It leaked from the air hole to start with, but a quick look and the o ring at the top of the chimney didn't fit in the groove properly. A change of o ring (never have too many o ring spares) and it is working very well indeed. 1.6 Ohm MC/CW setup. No whistling as such, I can hear the air going in, but no more than any other atty really. Screws seem OK, but I will get some spares just in case. Well worth a go for the money, especially considering what I used to pay for sh1te atties when I started.

Dan .... stripped out the 510 pin / positive terminal and there was no trace of swarf ... clean as a whistle if you will pardon the pun. Roger .... I have to agree that other than the whistle (which I have now silenced) the Russian 91% is a great atty ... I also got the Ehpro Kayfun 3.1 from Modsandatties, and the Fasttech Ithaka and Taifun GT recently and they have all exceeded my expectations regarding build and vape quality ... in fact I have been so impressed with the Ithaka that I have ordered another one ... the best $35 I have ever spent.

I have to say that I think the hcigar clone is better made, but the vb Russian is smaller and mine vapes beautifully. I don't have the whistling issue, it makes a little noise but no more than my other attys. I guess it shows that quality control isn't very good, and I've got lucky to not have many issues. The only problem has been the essential ring that holds the chimney to the top of the tank is a little loose - it hasn't leaked but I do keep an eye on it especially when cleaning it, as I don't want to lose it!
