I just completed my first coil build for my KF3.1 clone. I think it turned out pretty dang good for a first attempt. And man... why didn't anyone tell me about this sooner?!?! :p

When i bought the KF, the local B&M built my first coil and showed me step-by-step. (1.8 ohm, single micro, organic cotton) I've been vaping it until today with no issues on my VTR. I haven't really been using it too much, because my VS dna isn't here yet and I hate the stupid extension on the VTR. So since it was almost empty, I figured I'd clean it and give a try rebuilding it. (All my supplies came in, so why not.)

I pulled it apart, cleaned it. Then I started the build. Using 30 ga Kanthal A-1 round... 4/5 wraps on the tiny screwdriver, torched it, installed it, threw it on the multimeter then gave it a test fire. Ended up with a 1.4 ohm single micro coil, organic cotton build. I'm happily vaping it around 11 watts right now and it's the best vape I've had yet. iClears and Aeros just don't compare. :D

Can't WAIT for my VS DNA to get here!

Congrats on a successful build! I too learned to build on a Kayfun clone...It seems to be an excellent platform on which to learn IMO...I find that my Kayfun(s) run best around 1.3-1.5 Ohms, so it sounds like you're in the right resistance area!! Nice job!! :)

I was a little overwhelmed at first... but once you do it the first time, you wonder why you were all nervous in the first place.

We were all there once :) GJ and congrats, post some pics so we can all see hehe. I'm excited to leave work in an hour because I know my wire and juice just got delivered today haha, time for me to rebuild!
