First Ehpro Kayfun lite + build oppinions

[Keeferes]

This is my first build on an Ehpro Kayfun Lite +. it's a 1.8 contact coil, 3/32 ID, 30awg A-1 Kanthal, wicked with Peaches & Cream cotton yarn. What are a few opinions on the build? I am currently tooting some Spew at 18mg from the Gwar line by Mt Baker Vapor. Taste just awesome at 11 watts. It's wicking awesome. Not a single dry or burnt hit, even when mildly chain vaping it. I didn't get a pic, but I did saturate the wick and coil before filling her up and vaping.

This is what I consider to be my first true "rebuildable". I have been rebuilding Kanger Protank 2 (PT2) coils for many months now. This is so much easier, I don't know why I waited so long to make the jump. Anyone new to vaping and interested in building, this is not hard at all. Make the switch and you won't be sorry at all. I will say, as most already know, the pictures and videos DON'T show how small this stuff truly is. I knew from rebuilding PT2's it was small, but the capture screws were still surprisingly little.

Looks fine. Threw me off to see what appears to be a very large diameter ID, low wrap count coil... until I read that it's 30 gauge at 1.8Ω.

I don't know what your APV current output/resistance lower limits are... but consider moving towards thicker wire and lower resistance, with the increase in surface area and resultant vaporization potential that it affords.

Other than that, move forward at a pace comfortable to you... and don't forget to have fun. ;-)

I have sampled some 2.5 30awg kanthal builds. They were ok, but I am getting great vapor production from this build. I will definitely try out some other gauges of wire with my builds. I like this thing so much I didn't make it through a full tank before ordering another one. lol.

By the way I am running this on a Sigelei 20 watt with some VTC5's so limits are great for experimenting.

Yep... the SX200 chip current output will support resistance down to 0.5Ω, so you're good to go.

Although the KF is a good RTA... try not to get too focused on just that design. There are lots of great RTAs out there... and some are arguably better than the, now achingly omnipresent, SvoeMesto pattern.
Saying that... the clones are so inexpensive - W_TF - buy all you want!

I will be quickly delving into dripping. I am coming from exclusive use of clearo's and with that being said they are all pretty much BCC, except an Iclear 30s, which I don't care for. I'm a fan of a cooler vape, so that's where my research is at for now. Tank's apeal to me greatly for the filler up and go factor, but I am rapidly becoming a flavor chaser. I have tried a few drippers like the Patriot and the Omega, but they were very warm to me. Perhaps due to the mech they were on, perhaps not, but I waited because I was nervous about building. Since I've beet that, it's time to keep tinkering and branching out. I have had a Carevella clone sitting here for a while now. Never used it yet, because I haven't built a topper I feel is good enough yet, but mechs are a whole different conversation.

If you are wanting to get into drippers and you desire a cooler vape, just remember, air flow, air flow, AIR FLOW!

I'm currently using a Plume Veil on top of a Nemesis running dual 26g coils at .41Ω. I have it wide open and I am doing straight lung hits without any issues with heat.

Good luck in your journey.
