I think it looks quite good. It addresses the issues I had with the 3.1 for me - I fly a lot so ability to close the juice off is good, the ability to get to your coil without too much trouble. Airflow for me is a set it and leave it, I'd most likely just leave it open. The glass tank section is better than polycarb that gets killed by my aniseed, I feel that I need to see how much is in the tank to see if I have a dry hit through lack of juice or something else. I wonder if the o-rings are more resistant to aniseed than they used to be......... THAT was a big problem.
I don't mind spending some money on something I'll get at least a year of good service out of.
I have to say that the scorpion mod Todd had it on looks good... yeah, I've not kept up with what's going on with kit, happily using my nemi clone for the last year...
I wonder if I can deal with the extra size over my dinky little dripper though.

A year ago "vapes like a Kayfun" was a big selling point but things have moved on since then. Nowadays I prefer "vapes like a Fogger" or "vapes like an Orchid". Even if this is cloned I will not be buying one. If I wanted a tank with removable base and hidden airflow control I'd get a Lemo, which "vapes like an RDA" This new Kayfun will obviously appeal to collectors and I bet a lot of P3 owners will buy them for the hybrid look. This seems way over complicated for an old fashioned vape. No doubt the quality and sheer number of parts justify the price tag but I can't help feeling this is a step backwards in terms of ease of use and simplicity of design.

I saw Todd's review about 10 minutes after it was uploaded.So I stopped what I was doing and just concentrated on it.
Now after only having my first rebuildable tank a couple of weeks ( Mini Fogger ) , I was interested as the Kayfun has such a following.I didn't like the Kayfun's previous versions , as all I want is single coil setup , with "On the fly" ( like a air control ring on most of the Kanger tanks ) air flow control and a top filling tank , I don't think that is much to ask.I thought the Kayfun 4 would have all of these and a VERY good quality build.How disappointed was I when I saw Todd having to remove the bottom pin to adjust the airflow. Now I was that disappointed because I have known for a few days how much it is going to cost.As I emailed them with interest in the Kayfun 4 and asked how much it was and they told me.Also , the shape didn't bother me until I viewed it properly with the poly carbonate tank and in this configuration it does look a lot nicer , BUT you can't have that tank with some juices.
For me and I suspect a lot of others the airflow and price are going to make this a "No" for them.The airflow doesn't need anymore explanation other than it's not easily adjustable.As for the money , this is where it becomes the biggest "No".The reason for this is , if we really like a tank , you don't just have one , you have 3 or 4 of them for different juices and seeing as 4 of these is going to be the best part of £500 , so unless you have a LOT of money this is going to price most out of buying this.This also doesn't take in the expense of the pieces available afterwards and these also don't come at a reasonable price , let alone cheap.
So , for me the question remains the same.What tank is there that's designed for a single coil setup ( I did look at the Fogger V5 , as I have the Mini Fogger , and even that is a dual coil setup ) has "On the fly" ( external ) airflow control and is able to be easily filled from the top ?
As you can see , this has left me feeling a little deflated , like a kid at Christmas that didn't quite get the present he/she had been telling his mum and dad about for months.

I and many others have loved the kayfuns, whether they have been genuine or 1:1 copies, but this is just way way over engineered, way overpriced and the worst thing that annoys the S**T out of me is this vendor exclusivity b******s . I think it has been said many times before, but gone are the days of the £100 plus atties, you/we dont have to spend that kind of money to get a good vape and as with the previous version it will be cloned if it ain't already and vapers will spend their money on the clone, people that buy this will be in the minority. sorry for the swearing and vape on but vape cheaply Oh and it is ugly as sin, that taper does nothing for me.

What is the big deal about the airflow control most people set the airflow control to their liking then never touch it again. Over engineered, you could say that about most things these days. If you don't like it or don't want to spend that much on an atomiser THEN DON'T BUY IT. I am sure the clone will be along soon so after critisising the original you will jump on the bandwagon and buy the clone.

My sentiments also but I do like the amusement of reading through threads with lots of bitching about something people don't like.

This was one I was thinking of jumping on but the airflow adjustment has put a massive dampener on things

It's over priced , its not a game changer , I don't understand it, I won't be buying a cloned version of it, it's over engineered for what is a device to send eliquid to a coil, It's over priced , its not a game changer , I don't understand it, I won't be buying a cloned version of it, it's over engineered for what is a device to send eliquid to a coil, It's over priced , its not a game changer , I don't understand it, I won't be buying a cloned version of it, it's over engineered for what is a device to send eliquid to a coil, It's over priced , its not a game changer , I don't understand it, I won't be buying a cloned version of it, it's over engineered for what is a device to send eliquid to a coil, It's over priced , its not a game changer , I don't understand it, I won't be buying a cloned version of it, it's over engineered for what is a device to send eliquid to a coil,
