First Build on a new Kayfun 3.1 ES

[Cotay]

So I received my kayfun clone today and decided to try building my first ever coil. I only have 32ga Kanthal at present (with 28ga on its way), so I built a coil with 6 wraps on a 5/64 drill bit. It registers 2.6 ohms on my istick. Is this too high for the kayfun? Someone mentioned elsewhere that it should go no higher than a 2.2 ohm build. I'll be trying various combos (triple twist wire, smaller bit w/ fewer wraps, etc.) but want to vape this tonight just to see what it can do. Any issues with running this at 2.6?

How does it vape???


I run a 28 ga chimney coil (search youtube) 8 wrap 1.1 ohms 3/32's id and wrap with J cotton.


Give it a hit see what ya think.

I just tried it and it gives a good cloud...flavor is a but muted unless I turn it all the way down to 3.6w/3.0v. I used a cotton bacon wick and may have used a bit too little. It's now registering as 2.5 ohms. I consider it a good learning experience, but I'm going to shoot for 1.8 ohms on my next build tomorrow night.

I ran a .8 in it once....Just once.....


Too hot.


So I've settled in the 1 to 1.2 ohm range to keep the coil low in the chamber.

If you have problems post a picture and description here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/rebuildable-atomizer-systems/436118-kayfun-lite-352.html and many many folks will try to help you out.


Have fun!

It will still work at 2.6 but try and do a little less wraps or try and do a dual somehow ahahaha i'd still say that 2.6 will still work justtttt fineee so it's really not that big of deal to begin with but you won't be able to see how much you really like it until you get ur 28g and can compare it

I've only got 32 as well. I've only had my KFLite for a couple weeks now and I was only rebuilding Protanks before.. I've had a 2.6 in it for like 5 days now and its doing good at 9.5-10w. Its also a 5/64 wrap.. I have 1.8s but the coils just seem like they're gonna be too small (i do micro/contact coils) but eh maybe I'll go try one before I go through the last of this tank..

I'm going 29ga next. Same resistance as 28 but heats a little quicker.. I've seen too many complain about their 10 wrap coils not heating quick enough so 29 should be a good balance between 28 and 30 (which heats a lot quicker).

EDIT: now that I think about it, you said only 6 wraps?? That got me in the 2.0-2.3 range on mine.. The 2.6 that's in here now was like 8 or 9 IIRC.. I was specifically trying to see how big I could go without going overboard with the resistance.
