I having a problem with 1 of my Kayfuns & I'm not sure what else to do. I've filled it from the bottom hole, didn't go past the suggested point, turned it upside down and took a vape from the air hole, but I still continue to have a leak from the air hole. It's driving me batty. Any ideas?

well u might just have a little too much juice to burn. Try turning it upside down with the airhole above the tank, and cover the airhole with a kleenex and blow out the excess juice. Then try giving it a couple of hits to see if that cleared it.

Good Luck!!!

I think it was a combination of 2 things, I might have had too much wicking material, and too much juice was in the tank. So, I drained it, and re-did the wicking, put a thinner strand of cotton in there, and cut back the juice a tiny bit. And it now seems to be doing ok. Funny how such a small item can be so touchy....but I do like the Kayfuns, & the Taifuns, so I'll just stick with them, and see what all else I can learn about them...Thanks for the ideas, they were a big help....

Usually,if there is a leak something isn't tightened down all the way, or it needs an o-ring replaced. Somewhere the vacuum seal is leaking.

Ok, I'm thinking you are right. I still had the damn leak, so I drained it, and replaced every O ring on it. The next thing is to find an Ehpro rebuild kit, but I haven't seen one yet. Thinking the O rings should do it, but I want to make damn sure. Leaks waste juice, which in the long run, is just too costly. Every Kayfun I have, 5, of them, are Ehpros, and I have had no problems til this ne. But maybe it got too hot in there, and the O ring shrunk some in the process of cooling down.

Hope that didn't sound stupid, but I'm just guessing. Question...I did not see one, but does an O ring go around the bottom of the chimney, where it meets the deck? Just want to make sure I didn't miss something.....And I am really grateful for all of the help, I would not figure things out without the great help from the VU.....:)

I hate wasting juice too.
No, not at the base of the chimney where it meets the deck. Mine are the authentics, but I think the clones are a good match. Fingers crossed for you. Hoping you find success now. I just know if you have a leak it is definitely loss of vacuum. Let me know how it goes for you. Another thing. If you don't already do it and have an AFC screw. Run it without that to get more draw, it helped mine. I mainly use my Erlkonigin now. It cost a pretty penny, but it was one of the best investments I ever did for my vaping. I run it without the AFC too.

Last thought I prefer doing my builds with a shorter wick pinned against the block, and after I put the first part of the chimney on I put a donut of wick material around the coil in a circle where I still can see the coil. Gives me more vapor.
Good luck.:)

I have 2 EHpro kayfuns and they dont have a o ring at where the chimney meets deck, but I have a no name Kayfun lite, real cheap one, that does have a thin white o ring on base where chimney meets deck. Just throwing that out there.

I believe I have the problem solved. Changing all of the O rings seems to have stopped the leak. Keeping my fingers crossed anyway. But so far, so good. Thanks for the help. Only other issue I have left to resolve is I need a Rose Gold deck for an Ephro, Kayfun Lite +. Just the deck, I loaned it to a friend of mine, and somehow, it got lost. Everything else is here. Do you think that Fasttech, or one of the other vendors might sell just the deck part?

And just adding that I will NOT loan my tanks out again. I might have not lost a good friend, but still, anything can happen, and I just don't want that headache & expense again.

Wait, how the hell do you loan out a Kayfun and get it back minus the fucking DECK??

Because when it was cleaned, somehow the piece fell into a trash can and the trash was taken out without him knowing it had fallen into it...he said the pieces were all on the kitchen cabinet around the sink, an the trash can was below the sink. That's the best guess we could figure out. That's all I know. Since you're so caustic in your question Jeremy, do you think I should kill him or fucking prosecute him??? You make it sound like you don't believe the excuse.....it got lost, that's all I know, and for christ's sake man, shit happens.

I was pissed yeah, but I've had 3 heart attacks, triple bypass, high blood pressure, and a slew of other ailments. I kinda got over it, and I just don't need the stress. He'll pay for a replacement, that's good enough for me, and besides, I now have 12 mods, and 14 tanks of different styles. Kayfuns, Taifuns, Foggers. So, it's not like he lost the last possible way for me to vape. If we can find a replacement, good enough.

Well, I've spent the better part of this morning looking for a replacement deck for my Ehpro Kayfun Lite +, but I'm not having any luck. I might have to just chalk it up, and save these left over parts as spares. I have another Rose gold Kayfun coming, so all is not lost. I just have some spare parts for another one....:)
