Kayfuns are some of the best flavor producers out there, and fairly easy to build... Great to have in the vapeocalypse stash

Thanks for those descriptions. Now I know I'm not ready to buy one yet. I am definitely not to a point where I know how, or even want to build my own coils. I actually have a Kanger Subtank Nano and so far, it is NOT for me. I much prefer tootle puffing. I don't really care for the super warm vape either that I got with the Subtank, I like my vapes to be cooler. So I'm assuming from what I've just read, that the Kayfuns have a warmer type vape as well?
Not necessarily, it all depends on how you build your coils and at what you have your volts/watts set for. I build my coils using 28 gauge Kanthal wrapped on a 2.5mm coiling jig, with 6 wraps which works out to approximately 1.5 ohms. I use Koh Gen Do cotton for the wick and vape at 8 watts and it's about the same as using one of my old ProTanks, except the flavor is much better....

Ok, that just reaffirmed that I'm way too new to attempt that.
But very good info for the future!
Well, I've only tried one tank-ful with it before I decided to come back to it later. LOL. I was going anywhere from 10watts to 30watts. I think it was recommended for around 20? I fooled around with it quite a bit and just wasn't happy with it. I later learned that it's better for lung hits vs. MTL hits and I MTL. But not sure if that was the whole issue.
It's not nearly as hard as it sounds. Ask @AndriaD, we used to tell her the same thing
I would like to believe you, but.... it sound really hard!!
This. I use 29ga just because 28ga is so slow to heat up, but I also make coils for my kayfuns around 1.6-1.8Ω, and the vape is just right; just ever so slightly warm, never hot -- I take long slow hits, so I can't use coils that are too low in resistance, or those long hits just get too hot. But the flavor from Kayfuns is just immense, also the throat-hit (if you raise the coil high) -- I had to use a slightly lower power setting until I got used to the kayfuns' vape, the TH was so great. After trying to get anything like flavor or throat hit out of T3S's or Mini PT2's for a couple months, the kayfun was a GODSEND! And after I got used to it... I never could get anything out of a T3S or a Mini PT2 that even APPROACHED a decent vape. I've got all those old BCC's in a big ziplock in the cabinet now. I'll certainly never use them again.
I don't recommend a kayfun 4 for new builders; I've heard they have a ton of parts and lots of settings for this that and the other thing. I'd highly recommend a kayfun lite plus; the clones are now about $15. Tobecos are my favorites, because you can adjust the 510 screw to make it longer if you need to, without it causing the mounting block to get loose.

Yep. It's really not hard at all -- I started out rebuilding with T3S's and Mini PT2s, and those things are a huge PITA to rebuild, they're so tiny. Kayfuns are a snap.

ETA: and you don't need a coiling jig or japanese cotton; I use a drillbit to wrap my coils around, and you can get organic-cotton cotton balls at Walgreens for $2.99 a bag -- the japanese cotton actually wicks better, but the taste is identical.

Im not sure about the nano but the mini came with 2 coils. The .5 ohm coil was installed in it and the 1.2 ohm coil is in the box. Put the 1.2 ohm coil in it and turn it down to 10 watts and give it a try. Higher ohm coils gives cooler vapes. It can be used as a MTL if you want, just adjust the airflow to how you like it. I prefer the lung hits and keep the mini's on wide open airflow but thats just me.
Thank you Doc but I think you have me mistaken with someone else. I outgrew the CE4's in less than a week, the Geni tank and Nautilus in about a month. I have been using all versions of Kayfun, and several other RTA's and RDA's for well over 3 months.
The only reason I asked for thoughts about the KF mini is because I don't like to take the big boys when I am out of the house, which admittedly is not often. I have an itaste vv - you know the square stick - and that is what I like to take out with me. Very few people vape here so if they saw me carrying something very elaborate people might think I am doing drugs or something. So I like to be discreet. I do have Mini protanks, even a couple of Aspire K1s but to be honest I have really come to hate coil heads, even though I do rebuild them. The mini protanks gurgle and spit, the K1s are a little iffy. I thought if I could get such a small RBA with kF performance - wow, that would be tootle puffing heaven.

It's not as hard as it sounds, especially if you use a coiling jig like the Coil Master. Here's a video that shows just how easy it is:

That's usually the hardest part, the rest is easy from there....

Ah! That is very helpful! I will try the 1.2 ohm, yes it came with both, at 10 watts when I get home tonight. Thanks for that advice! I just might turn into a sub-ohmer after all!
I have the Ivogo one and it works well, the deck is really tiny to build on and you have to top fill it since the fill port is useless. Order some spare plastic tanks as well, they do break.
Full length on the iPOW2
I would get a Flash e-Vapor VS instead, much easier to build, fill and maintain. It provides a much better vape with the adjustable airflow screws. You will require two little pieces of mesh to roll up for feeder wicks from the tank to the coil. They don't have to be oxidized and pretty much last forever, that is if you don't loose one of them down the sink when cleaning the tank. Then just roll up another and you are good to go.
FT and FC have both units available, some of the cheaper Kayfun mini's rust, be sure to check the descriptions.
Thanks so much for your input. So are these Flash e-Vapor VSs sort of genesis kind of atties?
Yes, the KF mini in its full configuration is really very long but I believe you don't need to use all three parts.

Thanks for the tangerine recommendations. I *believe* the lady who made the juice I got first uses Capella's, but maybe not exclusively, and maybe this stuff wasn't. I like the Capella's flavors I've tried so far, and I ALMOST threw a bottle of the sweet tangerine in my order from last week, but I chickened out at the last second. I guess I should have gotten it. Oh, well, maybe next time.
I'm actually craving the fruit flavors in this hot weather. The only problem is I feel like I've had too much sweet by the end of the day. A couple days ago I was wishing for some cool cucumber or green pepper! LOL! In the winter, I'll probably want nothing but the heavy dessert flavors. I don't think I'll ever get tired of chocolate covered strawberries or peaches, though.

I must say thank you lannie. After you got me to thinking about this i went ahead and mixed up 60 ml of mango last night, gave it three hours in the untrasonic speed steeper and tried it today. The taste of this vape is like eating fresh mango's. Im dripping it in a mutation X at 30 watts and the flavor is just exploding on it!

Last night, I was charging all my boxes, so I broke out the Sigelei Zmax to vape on... and after a few months of nothing-but-boxes I was amazed at how small and light it seemed! It was my first "big honkin mod" but it's actually quite small and very lightweight. And if someone wants replaceable batteries, it's hard to beat. I've had it for well over a year, got it in April '14, and it's seen some pretty hard use, and been dropped several times... and it still works just as perfectly as the day I got it. For tootlers I'd say it's just about perfect.

What is this...
Tootle puffers talking about vaping...
Who are you and what have you done with the regulars?

Ooops, thought I was replying to the right post
Ever tried a kayfun lite on a Spinner II? It works! What I been using for my go places set up is the Evic VT with one of my subtanks on it. Fits the front right pants pocket perfectly and easy to pull out for a stealth vape in Walmarts cereal aisle
