Reviewer comments on business characteristics

SvoëMesto and its Kayfun, one of the most beautiful success stories of the vape.

I think everyone has had at least one, whether it's a clone or an original. The Lite and the 3.1 reigned for a long time due to their efficiency but also their ease of implementation. Myself, I still have the original lite version that my wife gave me on Christmas of my first year of vape. It was for a long time, for me, the best atomizer and this, in particular, thanks to its simplicity of use.

The V4 version had me a little angry, our Russian friends had made the Kayfun more complex unnecessarily and it had turned into a gas factory, suitable for satisfying only puzzle enthusiasts. Lots of parts, very expensive and suddenly less easy to live with.

With this V3 version, things seem to want to improve, so I am happy to be able to test this latest development.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

This V3 mini version takes the style of the V4 with a simplification of the tank and a diameter of 19mm which lightens the style and brings, suddenly, more elegance to the whole.

The top-cap is unscrewed, we kept the top-filling system of the V4 which, in my opinion, was almost the only good point of the V4.

Like version 4, this V3 has the juice arrival adjustment, except that the system has been simplified and improved. Still no indication of the open / closed direction of rotation. But, this time, we see the holes in the bell of the atomization chamber and we can therefore see if the arrivals are open or closed.

The bell also adopts the same design as that of the V4.

The editing station takes the simple basis of the old versions but the arrival of juice comes from the V4. Two small slotted tubs accommodate your wicks, which leaves no doubt about how to put them in place.

The airflow system also comes from the V4, it uses the same screw adjustment system.

Top machining, good materials, the quality is there, it is a high end atomizer and the price confirms this fact. 

A well-designed atomizer, which seems to indicate a return to the simple and effective spirit of the first versions.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The Kayfun mini V3 fills up easily and the tank contains only 2ml.

To fill it, you will close the juice inlet to avoid the risk of leaks because of the pressure on the liquid when the tank is closed. We have seen simpler systems lately, but the solutions adopted by Svoëmesto are good and sufficiently practical.

The juice inlet is adjusted by turning the tank, you will visually see the degree of opening of the holes in the bell. It's a real improvement, we have simplified the V4 system here for our greatest satisfaction.

The airflow has kept the same system. You have to remove the screw from the 510 pin, and using a very fine screwdriver you will screw to reduce the airflow and vice versa to open it. It works, but it's clearly not practical. Thank goodness we don't change this setting every five minutes.

The tray allows a mono coil assembly. Simple and accessible, we also appreciate the spaces provided to accommodate cotton, it's great.

An atomizer that goes back to its sources and trusts simple and effective choices that made the success of its ancestor. Thank you Mr. Svoëmesto, I regain my enthusiasm of yesteryear when my Kaifun Lite sat supreme in my wardrobe.

An atomizer as we like, we never miss his editing and beginners in the rebuildable there are a very good product, which will offer them the best without making head.

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

A simple drip-tip engraved with the brand's logo. It perfectly completes the line of the atomizer. Equipped with two seals, it holds perfectly in place. Its internal diameter corresponds perfectly to the type of vape of the atomizer.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

This is one of the points that annoys.

How can we deliver an atomizer for 99 euros in the same box as a Gs Air from Eleaf for less than 20 €? 

SvoëMesto has made no effort to packaging, a simple flexible cardboard box less than 50 cents each. Inside, your atomizer and a bag of “spares parts”. A notice that saves the furniture even if, of course, it is not translated into French.

I admit that I do not understand. We could have a hard cardboard box, a foam and a spare tank, as in a majority of Chinese manufacturers, who offer less valuable atomizers but much better presented.

For me, this attitude is close to “fuck up” and certainly, that does not affect the qualities of the ato, but it is all the same a frank disappointment when one receives his nugget with 99 balls. It's a bit like going to eat in a prestigious restaurant and being served directly on the table, without a plate or cutlery ...

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

This mini V3 version shines with its ease of assembly and use.

Compact, this atomizer will go perfectly with a compact mono battery.

The vape it offers is very pleasant, an intermediate draw and a very correct restitution of flavors.

Only the airflow is impractical, it has not been the subject of an evolution, it is in itself regrettable and a little anachronistic in 2016 where more practical technical choices abound on the market.

  • With which type of mod is it advisable to use this product? Electronics AND Mechanics
  • With which mod model is it advisable to use this product? Medium power compact meca box

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Thank you SvoëMesto, what a pleasure to find the characteristics which made the reputation of the first Kayfun of the name, on this V3 mini version.

Of course, the newcomer takes over the innovative elements of the V4. But, on this version, we simplified the innovations that had unnecessarily complicated the Kayfun, once known for its simplicity and efficiency.
We therefore kept the top filling system, the juice inlet adjustment and the V4 airflow system.

I recommend this atomizer to vapers who like soft, moderately aerial vapes and especially to those looking for an atomizer without the fuss, which is easy to live with in all areas (assembly and use)

Almost faultless, except for this horrible flexible cardboard box, unworthy of a High end atomizer at almost 100 €.

On this, good vape.
