So... I can see a lot of confusion here and I think I understand the author's catch on Nen.

So the idea is that Nen is this power, which surges from everybody and is directly connected to their spirit. This part is important. Moreover the abilities that a Nen user forms are bound to certain parameters:

Nen-user type, the reason the person learned Nen, the effects they want their Nen to have and how many and how sever the restrictions are, they place upon their Nen, in order to enhance it's capabilities.

That is Nen's main frame - and all that is needed to gauge the strength and capabilities of a Nen ability. So you can say... the Nen-Ability is something like the characterization of the user's will. All put into form and stuff. So far so good. Now this Nen, the pure characterization of a user's desire, has it's own will. I very much believe that if you don't act out "the will of your Nen", your Nen will block your capability to access it's full potential. That is why certain abilities seem op. Simply because they are acted out by mature characters. Those have come to know themselves and thus also understand their Nen better. The better you understand your own Nen, the easier it is for you to understand, what abilities one may form from it.

This is true for Kite, why I think he is a pretty good example for how Nen works. He dislikes all of his abilites, as all of them are 'too strong'. So his restriction forces him to use it at least once, before choosing a new weapon (which he dislikes again - for it's pure strength that is). So the ultimate abilities, in exchange for the ultimate deal. If he wants to reach his aim, he needs strong abilties. Nen is ready to give him those, if he gives up the chance to choose the nature of his next style (wicked ass thing tbh...). He built in an ability, which would activate after his death too. I believe that Kite is a monster right now... His childish body with the red hair indicates that he has become more like one with his Nen (his ability "Crazy Slots" was a clown with red hair as well and Ging said there was a number that only appeared, when he didn't want to die). That means Nen can act on it's own volition, if the spirit, of the user is strong enough it will even linger after death. So all this, you're probably thinking, is stuff you already kinda knew. Well as i said all this stuff is important.

Nen that lingers after death becomes indefinitely stronger. My take is that this is the case, because it becomes more of a part of the user's body, if applied right. I say a minimum of 3x fold strength to the original abilty, SUCH AS and that is important... even unlocking a new ability.

Now back to Hisoka... this dude is simply in love with his Bungee Gum, thus he KNEW it would do about everything in it's power to bring him back to life, as it was commanded. The command went "Oh my Bungee Gum... after I'm dead, come back to life! Along with my heart and my lungs! Cradle them Caress them, then expand and contract!". The way he spoke to his Nen is crucial here.

First of all we can see an augmentation. He enveloped his heart and lungs with Bungee Gum to revive and we don't know whether the effect subsided, after he did. I guess not. Also he tells his Nen to act in it's natural way, in order to revive him. A wish the Nen will be obliged to fulfill. AFTER he revives he makes sure his Nen collects ALL particles and stick them together, by sticking inbetween. His leg is now completely made of actual Nen. Let me break it to you: Hisoka became our HxH Monkey D Luffy with Spiderman properties. He is the op character as of now. His body is like 20% rubber Nen right now. And if all that is deducted correctly, that might even mean, he may merge even further with his Nen ability, Even if not. He should be fairly incapable of dying, if his Nen remained in the place it was told to be in before (heart and lungs). Other than that he should be way better at doing stretchy clown work and both his hands, right leg AND his NECK should be capable of stretching now. Hisoka became a real monster and he didn't even cheat.
