1st successful build on my Kayfun!!

[GMayberry]

This has been stated before, but I believe the wicking is the biggest issue here. The coil should work (in theory) just as you have it built. Might not be the *intended way, but a coil is a coil in that regards. It seems like you have the wicking just tucked through the coil perpendicular. It needs to be feed through the center of the coil length-wise, and notice the little grooves going down the side, they are the juice feeds that the wick should follow down. When they are saying bunny ears, you will just tuck the wick in those little grooves, install the chimney, then snip off the wick that is sticking out from the grooves so it is the proper length. I hope this helps clarify!

Not bad. You might want to refasten that lead on the left (bottom? ) as it looks very close to coming loose.

Bunny ears tho?

I do Bunny Ears ... Hop Hop Hop

Seriously though, I think it helps me get a consistent amount of cotton from build to build or even just for re-wicking.
I think i had watched the video from Map Vapes on building a Kayfun it was very long but he did cover lots of details in it.

Going in..she looks good. Cotton time

Lol I ended up refastenin the left side all the way around the screw. These screws are a Pain in the ... to get connection . The right side i did a full circle....ended up fixing the left with tweezers to go around screw the same. Seems if I just put a piece under a corner its not enough. Always shoots out when tightening.
O well learning.

 

[cmangoboogie]

Capping up looking good .
Think confidence is boosted enough to go back and try the dripper again.


This might need to go somewhere else . ...but question: I saw a video someone using the same piece of wire all the way through and aroumd a dual coil build deck like the Stillare? Thanks

 

[cmangoboogie]

Wow! This thing is blowing tastey AF too . Says 1.1 build evic puts 3.9 v 1.1 ohm coil at 13.9 W .. Still trying to understand that part of it.
Dont most people suggest using rebuildable s on non vv/vw devices. Using a regular mod is always at 3.7 v tho I thought. So guess my question why need for a non adjustable mod? Hhmmm

 

[Hoopie]

I'd wait a bit before making dual coils from one piece of wire. Just practice coil building some more. 1.15 ohms is good for the Kayfun, mine are usually around 1.3 ohms.

 

[cmangoboogie]

Its tasting great. Better then a fresh Nautilus bdc . Liquid seems stronger taste in mouth by far and more vapor. Wasn't so much worried about more vapor production just flavor and DIY.

There is no need to do the 'one piece of wire to make two coils' method, it is more hassle than it is worth. I saw Rip Trippers do it, did it myself after and noticed no difference between using that and using two separate coils, other than it being a whole lot more annoying to build.

The 'non-adjustable' mod (or mech mod) is simply so that you can get more power to your coils. It starts off at 4.2V and decreases with use. The regulated device has a limit on how many watts it will allow you to push through the coils, the mech mod wattage depends on a)The resistance of your coils b)Discharge Limit on the Battery c)Battery Voltage (4.2V start)

The discharge limit on the battery is not to be messed with, if it tells you that the limit is 10A then you would be wise to build your coils so that they remain below 10A. (Using Ohms Law - which you need to be familiar with to use a mech mod without blowing your face off)

Not familiar with the ohms law. Thanks for the info. Will Google get ohms law now.....I hope I dont have to worry bought anything crazy like blowing up. Although my cotton was starting on fire in the dripper and evic would get super hot. Think I mentioned that before, I thought same thing might have happened with my kayfun (flaming the wick) seems ok for now.

I'm glad through some excellent trouble shooting by the community that you were able to get your kayfun working properly, I applaud the work done by everyone on this post to help you H

Is that wick touching the deck? It doesn't look like it to me. Also, it looks backwards. The screw heads shouldn't be covered with wick.

In your image above, the "bottom" wick shouldn't be going to the left. It should be going to the right and draped down onto the deck. The "top" part of the wick should go to the left and drape down onto the other side of the deck.

Go back up in this thread and have a look at those two images I posted of the horizontal coil and the angled coil. Notice how you can see the screw heads in each?

If your wick isn't touching the deck you are going to end up with dry hits and possibly burn through that wick.

 

[DoubleEwe]

^^^^^^ Agreed with above. Also make sure that your wick does not cover up the juice channels...

 

[cmangoboogie]

I thought it was tucked the right way..previously I thought the cotton was suppose to go up the chimney amd snip at the top.

Sure enough just started to taste funky to. Gonna have to wait till juice goes down and either 're tuck or 're wick....damn! Lol thought perfected it.

 

[jaxgator]

You'll get it. There is a bit of a learning curve and it takes time and practice.

Personally, I wouldn't vape it any more. It's just going to get worse and because the wicks aren't touching the deck there will be no juice to vape once you burn off what you primed it with. I'd take a syringe and drain that tank and then make adjustments.

 

[cmangoboogie]

Ok tasted horrible . I emptied and 're tuck down side of deck, trying to avoid thst little ridge for juice flow. What u guys think

 

[jaxgator]

Yup, that looks correct now. Just make sure it's not blocking the channels.

Hi, I build a bit different. I cut the cotton just so it's even with the juice channels. The cotton does NOT interfere with the juice channels . This had worked out well for me with no dry hits, burnt hits, or issues. If you can see it's not sitting in the channels but above the channels and close to the channels. It does not interfere with the chimney either. This build always worked well for me
