Kayfun Prime ‘O’-Ring Replacement

The SvoëMesto service pack contains all the necessary ‘O’-Rings and coil deck screws to fully service your Kayfun Prime. (£1.95 Crème de Vape)

This is the exploded diagram showing all the parts of the Kayfun Prime including the position and sizes of ‘O’-Rings......




but I found it easier to match up the pile of new ‘O’-Rings by placing them next to the disassembled tank parts as I identified them......





and as can be seen the airflow control (8) as well as the juice flow control (10/11) have extras supplied so don’t go thinking you’ve forgotten to fit these. Part (10) is the same size as the top cap seal (22) so it could also be used here.

Kayfun Lite The Difference (5 Years)

Well it had to happen, after 5 years of trouble free daily use with no maintenance except wick and coil replacement, during the week I filled the juice up but some came trickling out of the drip tip. 
After making a mental note to myself to pay more attention next fill I then went onto vape but noticed although the vapour was ok, at the end of the pull it felt like I was pulling a mix of air as well. 
As the week went on things got worse and every fill caused juice to flow out of the drip tip again and also after only a short while the dreaded dry burn occurred. 
Using a Kayfil tool I checked the level of juice and it was still 3/4 full, so why was I vaping air and burnt cotton....ok the design of the Kayfun works on vacuum and I had a lack of it so time to check the ‘O’-rings. 

This was the culprit.....





and its a 1.5 x 5mm which seals the top of the chimney when the tank assembly is screwed back onto the deck. 
I put the old and new ‘O’ rings on the chimney and as can be seen the old one slides down to the bottom but the top new one grips and will seal as intended. 





Getting it out easier than in but with the help of a piece of 6 mm wooden dowel it can be pushed and compressed to fit into the recess. 







This is the first ‘O’-Ring I have had to replace on this Kayfun in 5 years of daily use and the first real problem I have encountered. 

Why are Kayfun’s so expensive? I guess it’s the quality of materials used and the design which makes....”The Difference”

Is somebody there? Oh hello domesticextremist sorry I must of dozed off in the corner for a few hours.

I have had my Kayfun Lite for 5 years now and in the beginning I was making simply round wire micro coils 28AWG (0.3mm) 5 or 6 wraps with a 2mm inside diameter and very happy with the vape at about 10w.

I had loads of really thin 32awg (0.21mm) left over from the days of wrapping this onto silica wick for coils and thought what if I twisted 3 strands of this together tightly, it might make a wire I could use on the Kayfun with cotton.

I made a 8 wrap over 2mm which came out to 1.2ohms and I set the wattage to 12w and the flavour that was now being produced was exceptional. This was before you could buy twisted wire or Clapton wire or anything other than single strand wire and although I have tried other builds and wire types, nothing compares to the homemade twisted 3 strands of Kanthal A1 32AWG.

I am tempted to try the Vandy Vapes superfine (mtl) Clapton SS and N80 wire..

Don’t know but I’m not mentioning that word To*#*co again, it’s almost like I used a naughty word.
I do add 1-2% of it to my desert mixes to make them more rounded but I can’t taste it either. (Only occasionally, promise everybody)

I had a read through the questions asked and came away with the feeling that the decline in Tobbaco products was causing a significant loss in taxes received and should current taxes on Tobbaco products be increased over a short period of time to gain maximum income before users switched to cheaper alternatives, over a longer period of time to avoid people changing but with the disadvantage of taking longer to rectify the shortfall in taxes or/and start applying taxes to “novel items” e-cigarettes water pipes etc.
Also while we are at it should countries that have lower taxes be increased in line with those that are paying more at present.

It was only a matter of time for taxes to be applied to e-cigarettes whether it’s the EU or our own government with the unprecedented growth in the e-cigarette market.

Nice mix that I like bobby00 is DV mentholyptus at 7% mixed with WS-23 at 1%.

I have mixed in the WS-23 at 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% with the Mentholyptus and at 1.5% was too cold for me so didn’t even try the 2.0% sample.
I assume that’s because I’m mixing with a mentholyptus which itself has some coolness of its own to start, but with other flavours you could need the higher percentages.

This latest bottle of WS-23 is suspended in PG at 30%, others I have had in the past have only been at 10% so this needs taking in to account which strength you are working with.

As TJ said above 5 drops per 10ml of juice (approximately 1%) up to 10 drops (approximately 2%) or anywhere in between to suit your own taste and WS-23 doesn’t have any aftertaste that the Pure Koolada seems to have.
