Differences between Russian and Kayfun

[Mrsmac]

Morning all, a couple of questions.

1) How do you tell the difference between the Russian and the kayfun and the various versions out there?

for example, I have a Kayfun lite clone (origin unknown ft) it has no words on the bottom and one fill screw with two holes on the side, one with the airflow screw. I thought v1 of kayfun lite did not have airflow control.

2) Would you say that is a Russian or a kayfun?

Now that I done away with the screw airflow (took it out!) it has a lovely smooth draw, actually better than the hcigar lite v2, which has a kind of juddery draw!

3) Are the versions without airflow control good?

i ask because I am aiming for a few in my arsenal and don't want to waste money on a different model/version iyswim

Think the Russian came out due to the smaller Kayfun not having airflow control and then Kayfun brought out Kayfun lite which has airflow control....so Russian and Kayfun lite are pretty much the same.

got to admit that drilling out the air flow hole has helped my kayfun light clone no end but i do like an airy draw
still not that keen that my other kayfun is still standard
did drill out the drip tips on both and it helps with the whistle
i cant see there being that much of a diff in performance between the new and old ones as they wick and mount the coils the same in the same air space
the v2 will sell for more 2nd hand if you come to sell them pluss you get the nano kit as well if ordering the one in ft
ill prob end up with 3 kayfuns at some point but im not in a rush
ive found drippers

I'm looking to buy another one too, I got mine from focal in a group buy. It says kayfun lite yet on slow tech it's called a Russian, I have had no problems...yet,but will bookmark this post as slow tech has so many to choose from

This is the thing decoy, the first one, which we've been sending back and forth, no longer whistles and the draw is perfect after taking out the grub screw! The new one which is a lite v2, I am not keen on the draw as it is a little bumpy and too airy lol

So I'm trying to find out how I can get a duplicate of the first! I am loving them but the first one is edging over the 'new improved' slightly!

See confusing, so unless you got the same again by hitting reorder, it could be tricky to get the same

Hi I have a kayfun lite and a lovely but rare Russian 91 and plenty of clones if either.

Aside from where the airhole adjusting screw sits on any of these variants , the vape quality has been exactly the same in all the ones I've bought.

did you boil the deck on the new one to get rid of all gunk
i dont have a v2 yet so dont know how they have changed the airflow maybe try taking airflow adjuster screw outa the new one
maybe it dont need as much or more wick i dont really know its just something you gona have to play with (part of the fun of rda,s i thinks)
as long as you have one you cant turn to and use try diff things with the v2 and next thing you know ill be asking you for help

Think i have found a good description

Disclaimer: copied from an unknown forum via google!

kayfun lite: no airflow control.
kayfun 3.1: (i think side) airflow control.
kayfun lite plus: bottom airflow control.
russian 91%: side airflow control and slightly different finish.

[Mrsmac]

lol decoy as soon as i can get my hands on a snap on version of the number one, you may just have 3 kayfuns

[decoy]

then if i rem right its a kayfun light plus clone that you sent me Mrsmac
but still have a play with the v2 youll have a eurica moment

[Mrsmac]

Nope decoy, cause it only has the fill hole on the bottom and not the airflow. The airflow is on the side lol so i think that one is a kayfun lite/russian hybrid! myepack are getting some in as well!

I got a ehpro kfl v2 a couple of weeks ago and the first coil and wick I made I did notice it was a little 'bumpy' on the draw. It seemed to change a bit depending on which way it was orientated while I was vaping.

I made another coil and wick a couple of days ago, and the draw seems pretty smooth now.

I think the height of the coil above the air hole and the placement of the wick can affect the draw. the new coil I made sat much higher off the deck than the 1st, and the wick I made this time forms more of a arch shape rather than following the centre post down to the deck.

same style base as yours but holes in as well under the screws for easy coil clamping
www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10006473/1612101-russian-91-styled-rebuildable-atomizer-4-5ml
more or less the same as what you sent except the juice channels look better cut

[Mrsmac]

thanks hijack i think you have a point there cause i remember when building my old one that i did raise the coil quite a bit, its due for a maintennance so i will try raising it and see if that helps...overall a cracking vape always wanted to say that!
