Hi Chief63
I was a little disappointed in mine after the first few builds. I also was using an o ring to hold the AFC since I couldn't get the upper ring off over the AFC-not very cool for sure!
AFC RING;
After starting my 6th build I started unscrewing the top cap and while unscrewing I noticed the ring over the AFC was unscrewing with the tank and cap. It just decided to finally break loose!! Nice! I pulled off the AFC ring and wrapped a thin layer of teflon tape over area and poked a couple holes through the tape where the holes are. It holds nice and snug now as if I still had the o ring on. Funny, as I tried everything short of pliers to get that ring over the AFC off with no luck and it finally just decides to loosen up. Hmm?
Building the coils;
After several builds without the aid of a drill bit or screw driver to hold the coils when attaching to the posts, I decided to try to get the coils as close to the air holes as possible. That turned out to be the key for me and it performs fantastic now with wonderful flavor (better than my OG TFGT and KFL+). I wrapped my 28g kanthal over a 5/64 bit with a 9/10 wrap and with the bit still in the coil, I firmly held the coil in the crevace and against the air hole. I held it there with the bit and wrapped the ends, then did the same on the other side. After I tightened the posts I slid the bit back in and raised the coils about 2mm off the air holes. Now my wires are the same length and positioned perfectly over the holes. I'm using less wick to the channels now since the coils are closer and the feed, flavor and vapor are amazing right now.
dont give up on it!!!
Good tips. I thought the coils naturally sat a little high. I'll try that. The AFC I can fix and it looks like they already updated to correct the problem.
