Basic for a circuit with resistors onlyput capacitor it inductor in the circuit, and then you need calculus!
Put all those components into superheterodyne circuit and it's Fn Magic.

Geez u guys make my head spin w/all the technical data stuff. I don't have kayfun but a quick question regarding rebuilds. How long does the actual coil last? I understand changing out the wick, cotton, hemp, whatever everyone is using but what about the actual wire?
How long does it last and how do you know when its shot and needs replacing?

My first lasted more than two months and was still going strong. I only changed it out because I wanted to try the vertical chimney coil I had seen here. I put that same coil in my other two and haven't changed them out since. They seem to be near indestructible and are so easy to clean.
Rinse if you feel inclined, dry burn, brush or blow off, repeat if inclined, rewick and keep-on-vapin'

Morning m'dear, hope you're starting to thaw out
I have no clue how long they last - I pull them long before I have to, but that's just because I want to play with a new idea. I've heard of them going many months though. If you're using dark juices/carto cloggers just dry burn & scrape the gunk off carefully & rewick them. Game on. We were having a discussion in another thread about them & one of the guys was new to it, waiting on his first R91 to show up in the mail, so I posted some pics in a blog post. It's more about re-wicking with cotton, but there's some other stuff in there if you want to check it out. I just didn't bother wiping off the dark coffee juice I was vaping first.
That was my second guess. You don't see 'superheterodyne' thrown around very often anymore. I got a good laugh out of it.

Ok thanks. I will surf around and check it out. I have a Sophia coming and bought 10 prebuilts w/it hoping to have plenty of time learning how to recoil. Not to concerned w/rewicking and actually excited to try cotton.
I've thought about picking up 1, but then I think about messing around with that sort of a build. Not that it's hard, just more intensive than I really want to deal with. You'll probably love the cotton. It's so easy, cheap, plentiful & hassle-free. Great taste too.
On my Kayfun lite's I get about a month out of a coil, but I guess I sometimes am a chain vaper, my coils are 30 gage kanthal on 5/64 drill bit with cotton wick, I had 1 of my sophia coils (Leo's pre-built coil assy) fry on me after 2 1/2 weeks, but I think if was a fluke because my other 1 is still going strong.

I absolutely love my kfl+. I usually shoot for a 1.6 micro coil and vape it at 4.2 volts. I vape boba's in it exclusively and love it. I haven't looked at any other devices since I got mine last month.
I still use my davide clearos for my other flavors and rebuild those at 1.6 as well. Rebuilding these with cotton changes the game. The hit like champs and taste amazing. Such a huge difference from stock heads.
I am close to buying another kfl but trying to hold off until they improve it more.. If that's even possible...

just wanted to post a small update on my adventures with cotton wicks..
after testing 4 different brands, I was getting the same nasty yet distinct taste. I tried at least 15 different attempts/builds. all of the tested brands are listed as bleached with hydrogen peroxide.
I was about to give up on cotton, after reading many reports of people getting clear tasting wicks regardless of boiling.
then I tried boiling the Swisspers cotton balls...aaaand...success! nasty taste = gone!
tried 2 different builds so far, the vertical coil from Bapgood's post that Bimini suggested was tested first. I love the taste and how it performs. but having it touching the deck makes the tank heat up really really fast. otherwise I liked it.
just finished a simple mini... 5/64 drill bit, 12 wraps, 1.8 ohms.. little higher than I had planned.. I want to try to add a longer wick, and to also cover the sides of the coils on my next attempt, but this is how it looks atm:
getting a little bit of flooding and not the greatest performance but flavor is amazing.

Add a cotton cloud to the top, keeping a clear section in the clouds right above your coil. That might help with the flooding. It will definitely amp up the density of the vapor, imho.
Nice wicking btw, almost too perfect! LoL.

thanks a lot Chief, too kind!
I'll try adding a cloud as you suggest. I used one with the vertical coil and it worked really good. but tbh I judged this last coil a little too soon. I gave it too many prime puffs and it flooded... and it wasn't producing that much vapor, but after a short break in period, it's working really really nice. I just want to lower the resistance a little bit.
btw, remember this?

Awesome thank darkgear. Sounds like that will be my first attempt. You're supposed to wrap them right like that?
Cotton yarn? That sounds easy to work with. Snc is the brand? Is that like peaches and cream yarn?
