I may be interested in cloned baking equipment because my better half's new kitchen plans are rather expensive   Excellent news  They will be highly appropriate because I understand many of her recipes are actually *whispers* cloned from more expensive originals....  |

A giant plus 1 for the Ithaka oldsmokey .... a bit time consuming, but straight forward and simple, to set up but the vape in terms of flavour slightly edges the Kayfun imho and the air flow and juice feed controls are both terrific design features. Yes Ithaka just pips the Kayfun for my taste buds - and its inherent adjustability means you can tailor the vape more than you can with the Kayfun. I prefer the throat hit from a twin coiled Ithaka if I'm honest. Nevertheless the Kayfun is a wonderful balanced, relaxing vape, and with some of the dessert flavours I think it is still the best of the bunch. The nic delivery is also spot on  ETA:Keith's excellent video tutorial at C9V is definitely a good place to start! |

I don't know about the clones, but my original 3.1 Kayfuns have proved utterly reliable to date. Apart from the Spheroid (which seems incapable of leaking under any circumstances) it is probably the most reliable atty I have. I also love the Ithaka, but that atty has a steeper learning curve in my view.
If you're just starting out with the Kayfun then I recommend a really simple figure-of-eight style wick and a medium resistance coil (say 1.8 to 2.5 ohms) to get you started.
I'm a big fan of both the Spheroid and the Ithaka, but I still think the Kayfun gives a wonderfully 'balanced' vape. It's generally my take-to-work device cos it just keeps working really well!

Check the junction between the combustion chamber chimney and the steel section at the top of the tank. There should be a tiny O-ring at the junction - if it is missing or badly damaged then the Kayfun will leak like a sieve!
If it's a 3.1 then also check the filling valve. You can backflush it with water if it's stuck - just fill a filling bottle with warm water and put the tip in the hole where juice emerges when filling. When you fill 'pulse' the juice in (squeeze and release the filling bottle multiple times) let the filling bottle suck the valve closed at the end of filling, and always leave some air gap in the tank.

It may be 'average' kit, but if it keeps you off stinkies then it's doing an 'above average' job IMO.
