Herrow!
Another build on the kayfun.
Got bored as usual, and i was thinking,
of ALL the fancy hyped up builds, the one build that actually worked bloody well for me was the diamond coil on my drippers.
No clue why (not a build pro), but I would imagine it has something to do with the way the airflow flows right through the wires (again, puuuuure speculation).
SO. seemed perfect for a kayfun.
here goes. 2 strands of wires, each with 2 sub coils.
5 wrap on each sub coil on a 1/16 drill bit, 30ga, (so this is essentially a dual coil build)
1.1ohms total.
of course, make sure to centre the airhole smack in the middle of the diamond coil
side view:
Fired upppp
Wicking: I use a skinny wick for each of the sub coils. (I had to trim the wicks before putting the chimney on)
Wicked and juiced up. Note that there are essentially 2 sub coils on each side. the 4 wick ends of each side's sub coils thus go into that side's juice deck like so: (again, juicing it up makes it so much easier to mould it to shape)
and the final product: how it looks after smacking on the bottom chimney section:
Overall, performed well enough! not as amazing as in a RDA though.
that aside, changes I would have made would be to use a 3/64 drillbit instead, and keeping the 30ga wire. This should drop the resistance, as well as reduce the occurrences of over-wicking that i experienced from time to time.
But yeap. good flavor, no dry hits. Happy I am.
Lemme know if you haz any questions!
