    So the other week I ordered this, just for the smiles.
    It came to me early this week but been so busy I haven't had time to even build or play with it yet, but it looks like fun.

    The info:

    Removable drip tip
    Adjustable air flow
    510 threading connector
    Height without drip tip: 65mm

    PACKAGE CONTENTS
    1*Kayfun Mini V2.1 ES Style RBA,
    1*Short Clear PC Tank,
    1*SS eGo Beauty Ring,
    1*Long Funnel,

    There are many parts to it, and a few different ways to have the tubes;

    The longest and then the standard options, with an 18650 battery next to it for size comparison;

    Put it on my Stingray for a laugh;

    At the end of the day it is just a mini KayFun base, so the building shouldn't be a problem.
    It's bloody long that's for sure.
    I will report back with the vape on this Thread once I've set it up and vaped with it..

    Oh, here is the link to where I bought it from:
    $23.08 Kayfun Mini V2.1 ES Style Rebuildable Atomizer Kit (1.6-4.0ml) - stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

    For the past week I have been using the Ivogo-branded one and, except for the odd length (shortest mode helps), I have little fault with it. A better vape than any of my clearomizers. Look forward to hearing your take Vapermorphs.

    So after my disappointment with my FT Nautilus I decided to coil this bad boy up.
    I didn't bother washing it first, I was too lazy..

    Anyway, easy to coil, the deck is a little small but kinda the same as the normal KayFun.
    Made around 8 or 9 wraps around my screwdriver, connected it, pulsed it and squeezed the coils nice and tight, and she came out at 1.2 ohms
    Did the cotton
    Juice that up and she fired nicely.

    Put it together and did the top fill, over juiced it ...lol...
    Tried to get all the air bubbles out, which was a bugger as this thing is slim and there's not much room between the parts and the tubes
    Then at around 16 W gave it a bloody good vaping.

    The vape was nearly, 99% the same as my normal KayFun.
    There were lots of air bubbles shooting around, at one point I decided to unscrew the top cap and that just flooded it totally.
    A bit of messing around, turning it upside down and so on, got it working great.

    I need to work out the best way to top fill this so I don't flood it each time but it came right and it was nice, a little 'oily' taste, but that was due to my laziness in not doing a full strip down, boil and clean.
    I'll do that soon I think.
    Got a feeling this will look nice on my new small VS dna 30 :very good:

    The way I have it set with the tubes it's the exact same height as the normal KayFun...

    I have it set up looking like this picture;

    Tried getting this thing to wick properly, even enlarged the juice channels.

    Every third hit or so comes out dry, then I have to wait for a good while, or give it a suck with a finger on the air hole. Finally I gave up.

    Over the weekend I had a whole bunch of juices to taste. Never having had much joy using various drippers (Omega, Storm-A, iGo-L), inspiration struck me.

    Get rid of most parts, using only the base, the top tank section, the top cap and the tip.

    Coil and wick it like you do all your other Kayfuns, drip (easily holds 15 drops), and vape.

    SWEET!

    I'll be making a couple more of these bad boys.

    Yes, I've read a bit about using it as a dripper..
    For me I still can't get it right, had the same problem with the dry hits, it's hard to get the air chamber right.
    How i got it to work was after filled in the correct upright position, unscrew the top cap and bubbles come everywhere, all the air,screw the top cap back on, then this floods it like hell, but wipe it away, and vape it, it's a little gurgly at first but it clears, then it vapes fine.

    I'm not messing around doing this each time, tomorrow I will see how it goes by using the fill hole....

    Mine leaks a little most of the time after filling even when I really make a point to cover the bottom air hole well. It's not real bad and blowing out the chamber helps put an end to it. I like the vape so much that the small loss and extra step isn't a game-ender for me.

    My biggest annoyance is sometimes the chimney unscrews some when taking off the top cap for doing a refill. I haven't correlated that with the leaking so need to start making some mental notes. Going to try one more series of refills using top method then may go to the bottom fill to see how that goes.

    I can't get the hang of the filling, it's not easy, get dry hits as it's hard to get the pressure right, i'll leave this alone for a while I think.
    Glad my new Mini Nautilus arrived today, so much easier....:grin:

    That sounds awesome, with 15 drops you can easily try out some juices to see if they are nice! I will buy one only to do this! You don't have any leakage?

    It's absolutely brilliant!

    Been vaping the crap out of this little bad boy. No leaking, no gurgle (I do make sure to drip to the sides - on the cotton - and not in the middle, directly on the coil).

    It's 95% Kayfun-like, with a slightly hotter vape on the same wattage. Turn it the power down a bit and you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference to a full size Kayfun.

    Just started mixing my own juices, wanting to taste them as they would taste in Kayfun, but with as little of a hazzle as possible. This little bad boy is perfect for this.

    Just a note that I haven't had a single dry hit using mine..have only wicked with rayon so not sure if its better wicking capabilities is the reason but really, not a single one. - knock on wood -

    Most complaints I have seen online are with some leaking after a fill and that's what I hope I can get addressed with mine.

    I think that tomorrow afternoon or so I'll be trying another fill from the top and will report back how that went.

    I had the same leaking problem when filling from the top but NO LEAKING when filling from the fill valve. I'm using a high PG juice. Not sure how a thick VG juice will work as the space between the vape chamber and tank wall looks pretty tight.

    did you try filling from the bottom fill valve yet?
