Let me correct that awesome post I made....I havent vaped a kayfun in ages but it was a challenge to build. My Build was 26G, 6 to 7 wraps thight not spaced wrapped around a 2mm driver...I enjoyed micro duals on the kayfun most of time. Not an easy build but very effective once you master it.... Im sure theres pictures and vids out there you just have to find them...Good luck and vape On!!!

You could make something out of that in the FBI. I mean.... they do wacky stuff like profiling! I'm sure they'd bite, and you could write reports of what TYPE of seating was involved (like metro or couch) length of .... cheek activity, not to mention extrapolating how the person is "doing or feeling" based on the swing and duration of their seating pattern, Like "Phone subject number A was riding on a metro from 3--5 p.m. A passing stranger made him nervous, leading to a plethora of numeric symbols vs. letters. It is clearly apparent that he may be entering a public building potentially armed with store bought cupcakes he is attempting to pass of as "home made" in his daughter's fifth grade classroom. Be on the alert for yellow shoelaces."

tighten part number 6 first... plus pole screw second...

Authentic Svoemesto Kayfun Prime
Yeap, I was having issues with weird resistances as well, and had only been tightening the 510 screw down.

Thanks for bringing to mind the centre post too. I'd been on the KFL+ before moving onto the Prime and it didn't quite occur to me about the centre post/air conduit. Used a pair of needle nose pliers to tighten it down good and no more issues with resistance!

Other lessons along the way include using a larger 2.4mm contact coil. My previous default build was always a 1.8mm and that worked amazing in the KFL+.

The amount of cotton in the coils and tails are also the inverse compared to the KFL+. I found I needed more cotton both in the coils and the tails. Once I got past worrying about choking juice flow in the Prime and just pushed more cotton in, the flavour and quality of vape improved tremendously.

It's been a pretty fun learning curve with the Prime, and I sure am glad for the experiences shared in this thread.

Cheers all!

So after a month of loving my prime there are only two things (to avoid the word problem]
1.) Sometimes the top Is difficult to screw on after refilling. Perhaps they could re-design the threading on a Prime V2.
2.) I do miss painfully a spit-back protection. (like the GG Armed has).
Even with the extension in use I often get burning hot little drops spit onto my tongue. Especially with fresh cotton.
It is a little screw in the bottom of the chimney preventing those tiny drops being shot into your mouth.

How much cotton do you have in that wick? How high up do you have the coil? Try using more cotton. I get some spit back when I rewick with too little cotton. If the coil is too high, it can cause issues too. I've got my coil at about 1.5mm above the air hole. Not very often that I get spit back.

This must definitely be something in your build or perhaps your juice because honestly I never ever get spit back from the prime. Maybe like above post mentioned, coil to high or not enough cotton thru coil....or just over wicking with too many turns on JC...can be a few things but it shouldn't really happen to the extent your mentioning. I have the armed and the first thing I did was remove that part....

Might have the heat cranked up too high. Might have the juice control too open. Could be too little volume of wick. Coil too high. Some have been mentioned. My Prime never spits back. And the top is a little hard to get on but it's not the threads. It's the oring getting in the way. Not much can be done about that.

Question I wanna throw out there.....For whatever, the past few rewicks, I have issues with wicking. Thinking that I'm just doing a half .../lazy job/being in a rush. But it keeps happens. Possible that I got a bad o-ring somewhere. No leaky juice, but is it possible that I got a bummed o-ring screwing up with the vacuume pressure of the tank? Thoughts?

The top screw can be pain sometimes. I always align the 2 perfectly before screwing back, any deviation and it gets stuck and have to redo.
I never had spitback in Prime, used to get a bit of popping with new builds on Kanthal but now I am using SS wires, the chamber is pretty quiet and smooth. The spitback protection is a cool feature in that GG tank, it got me interested.

Just be vaping in TC. Wattage keeps dropping, less vapor. Open it up, and sure enough the wick is dry. More I open up the jfc the better. But even with 2 full turns, doesn't seem to be enough. I just rewicked it last night, and no issues. 1 1/2 turns, and wicking just fine. I'm thinking I was just rushing it. Kinda took my time last night.

Yes, wicking is critical in the Prime. I find it to be less forgiving than previous Kayfun models. As I was saying earlier, I have this tendency to cut my wicks shorter with each new wick. Then suddenly I get what you get...a dry hit (I use TC mode too). I know immediately what is wrong. Either too much wick or too little wick causes problems. I'm speaking in length and volume terms. But I think there is still many people who immediately think they are using too much wick when things go wrong. My view is in most cases it is the exact opposite. They are using too little wick.

I have these little popping “explosions” in all my GG’s with their ready madeZirconium springs.
And, to be honest, I like them! They remind me on a cozy evening at the open fireplace in the living room [emoji854]

My wicks are tight, but still easily movable in the coil. The length fits into the little pockets, and then I pluck the shoulders a little fluffy with the Pointed tweezers.
My juice is 80% VG.
The wire reads Ka1 28ga 0.321mm (whatever that means). It’s what the guy in the shop sold me.
OK, I will try stainless steel next time.
