Adding a larger cotton wick to my kayfun lite stopped my burnt taste issues completely. If you think about it.... when you get a burnt taste with cotton, only two things can be happening.
One) the coil isn't wet and it burns
Two) there isn't good wick to coil contact and the part of the coil that isn't getting juice is heating up and giving the burnt taste.
I got my kayfun lite to work from the start but it kept giving a frequent to occasional burnt taste. As long as I kept it near bout flooded, it was good. That should have told me something to begin with, as long as it was near flooded, the part of the coil that wasn't getting enough juice from the wick was able to be wet from the flooding.
I noticed when I took my next to last wick out that it wasn't burnt, not at all.. so it had to be my coil burning. My coil was perfect, no wayward loops.. so I had to not be getting proper and complete wick to coil contact. Before this, I was careful to roll the thinnest strip I could... going by the advice, more is less.. expecting the cotton to plump up when wet and fill the coil. So this last time I used a thicker strip, rolled it tight to get it threaded through the coil. After it was in the coil, I untwisted it to fluff it up instead of leaving it tightly twisted through the coil.
SUCCESS! Absolutely no burning with this wick. 2 days and two tanks and not one hint of a burnt taste. I know I obsessed over this but I hate having an issue that has me stumped.
Oriley factor vanilla custard recipe by JC West's wife.
For those that wanted that juice recipe for my wifes "Oriley Factor" custard .. Take a 100ml bottle and put half a bottle of thisFrench Vanilla - e juice gourmet flavored coffee e liquid tea flavor e cigarette water flavoring Diet & Fitness Baking & Desserts ($3.29) , Then a whole bottle ofVanilla Custard "NEW" - e juice gourmet flavored coffee e liquid tea flavor e cigarette water flavoring Diet & Fitness Baking & Desserts ($3.29) , 20 drops ofTFA - Ethyl Maltol - MyFreedomSmokes.com ($5.95 and this bottle should last you well through 1000mls of this recipe) then use any nicotine calculator theres several around to tell you how much unflavored nicotine to put in.. I use 100mg per ML just because it goes further and my wife uses 3mg juice so a $5.95 bottle of unflavored nic will make 2000mls of this juice .. so this nice 100mg per MLOur Unflavored Smoke Juice (Nic. Juice, Nicotine Juice) - My Freedom Smokes , fill the rest of the way up with VG (This is her preference as this recipe is about 95%VG.. so no guarantees on what the flavor is on a more PG mix.. but its OUTSTANDING mostly VG, Basically after you spend about $15 bucks on a couple thousand MLS of VG, and you have your unflavored NIC then your costs ends up being around 10 bucks per 100mls.. Not bad not bad..
so basically its 13% Vanilla Custard, 7% French Vanilla, 2 drops of ethyl maltol per 10mls of juice, and nic to taste.. pretty simple recipe
