Have to tell you guys (and gals) that I may be going over to the dark side. I've been hitting on an Infinite Kayfun V4 clone for 4-6 weeks and it is just fantastic. Without doubt the best atomizer I've ever owned. I'm a stickler about flavor and the ability/ease to rewick or rebuild when mid-tank is a killer feature.
Don't want to start a religious wars but did want to pass on for others who might benefit (and just ordered a second). Okay, back to regularly scheduled programming.
Whatever works to help keep you off the stinkies is an awesome atty in my book.
I own an authentic KF4 and authentic Erls. I prefer the Erl over the KF4 mainly because of the restrictive af in the KF4 and I have the 4S kit installed in the KF4.
To each his own. Enjoy borther!
I just got in the erlprinz 2 days ago and am using it on a dna 40 mod I built. I have been trying all day to try to get this thing to wick but keep getting temp protect. I'm using 28 gauge nickel wire with kojando and putting the wick half way down the juice well, very little amount. I also am using a ibtanked glass tank on it. I've been working on this thing all day and just can't get it to work, so frustrating. Thank you all ahead of time for the help.
Lost soul
When I purchased my first Erl I struggled tremendously to get it to wick properly. That was with kanthal and rayon. I like heavy vg juices (70-80%) and an airy draw, both hindrances for wicking.
The vertical channels in the Erl are there for use with silica wicks imo. Initially, when I wicked it, I was putting wick down those vertical channels almost to the bottom of them. I then tried only going about halfway down. That was better but still led to dry hits and priming. My current preferred wicking method is to not put anything down the vertical channels and it has been working perfectly for me.
One other thing that I do that I believe helps with wicking is remove the
"wick ring". It seems like that ring would tend to trap bubbles from escaping. It is my contention that the ring is actually used to hold silica wicks in place when screwing on the chimney and therefore, useless with other wicking materials.
With kanthal, I was using 2mm ID contact coils. With Ni200 I am now using 3mm ID spaced coils.
I'm not sure if you've seen these images or not so I will post them here again for you. Dual twisted 30g nickel, 3mm ID, 8 spaced wraps, wicked with rayon...
I keep meaning to ask you about Evivia T had one about a year only built it once!
