Ive been making coils on my kayfun and taifun for a few months now. It was the best decision ive made to date. However, since I started for some reason ive always grabbed the 5/64th bit and wrapped 11 wraps of 28guage. My coils always came out to roughly 1.65 ohms and performed great. For some reason or another ive always been afraid to mess with what I know works. Today, I decided to grab the 3/32 drill bit and do 10ish wraps of 28guage. This build came out to around 1.75ohms. So far ive got it installed and making vape like a freight train with no issues. I dont think I see much difference in the taste or wicking thus far. What are the limitations of the kayfun as far as coil diameter? Is it limited to what you can stuff in the chimney? Is there any inherent risks or no nos when it comes to playing around with diameter? Just curious and looking for discussion.

Personally I use a 3/32 DB with 8 wraps of 28g for a 1.4 ohm coil. Works for me. No need to fool around with any other build.
Here's some good guidance for rebuilding coils -

I use the exact same set-up. Add or remove a wrap or two to raise or lower resistance as needed. I tried a 1/8" ID and i couldn't wick it right and got some rank dry hits. So i'm sticking to what is working well for me. I'm leaving the experimenting to my drippers.
I use a set of dowels that my wife uses for making jewelry jump rings. She has them starting at 1mm, 1.5, 2, 3 up to 6mm. I have used the 1.5mm but wicking is a little tough. 2 works very well, 28ga 7 wraps comes in at 1.3 - 1.4 Ohms. Tried the 3mm but takes a lot of wick to fill it properly.
Just did 8ish wraps of 28g on a 7/64th drill bit in my taifun gt. Came out to like 1.6.........only a few vapes in but this thing cooks
28g Kanthal, 0.052 drill bit, 6 wraps = 0.9 ohm micro-coil. Rayon cellucotton wick.
