I vape the Virus in a GUS Estia tri-coil atomizer at about .6 Ohms.

I don't have any pics of the inside but here's a pic of it on the GUS Lord mod:


Cheers Grrr!.....:thumb:

What I failed to mention is that my go to and dedicated device for all things Virus is Reo#1 with a 28g 2mm single coiled Cyclone AFC built to 0.8 ohms. The Virus moved in on the first day and has never moved out. In fact, #2 was ordered for Wakonda less than a week later....:?:

Yep this is the big selling point of it for me. That and the glass tank...and the price...lol. My OCD was having troubles accepting the 23 mm diameter though but I think I'm over it.

Chi You, King, and Paps are 3 mods that are 23mm. I have a Lemo on each :)

Okay lol, I guess we have a Lemo thread now. Way to thread jack guys, geez. Just messing.

It seems that the consensus is a between 1.0-1.2Ω coil on a Kayfun wrapped on a 2mm mandrel for the Virus??

I take full blame for the thread hijack...lol. I run my kayfun at 1.4 ohms. 28 gauge and 2.4 mm screwdriver. I know people say how great kayfuns are for flavor but I have yet to find a build that gives me the flavor I get from my dripper. But then again the kayfun uses far less juice than the dripper does.

I really should just throw caution to the wind and buy a REO. I'll take a few nights in the dog house if it is as blissful as everyone says.

Don't take my advice cause my marriage didn't go as well as Dr. Phil would've advised. But yeah I would've risked it back then too. :lol:

I agree with that consensus but you may need to make the coil larger, from 2mm to 2.6mm for you to get your wicking sweet spot. My Virus Kayfun is 2.2mm at 1.2Ω. My Five Pawns Kayfun is 2.4mm at 1.4Ω because the deck and chimney hold heat differently.

Hey I wanted to say Reo but.......:lol::lol:

Ya killin' me smalls!

I know people say how great kayfuns are for flavor but I have yet to find a build that gives me the flavor I get from my dripper. But then again the kayfun uses far less juice than the dripper does.

lol it's all good budday! Do you vape the Virus?

I agree with that consensus but you may need to make the coil larger, from 2mm to 2.6mm for you to get your wicking sweet spot. My Virus Kayfun is 2.2mm at 1.2Ω. My Five Pawns Kayfun is 2.4mm at 1.4Ω because the deck and chimney hold heat differently.

Yeah, I currently build my kayfun at 3.25mm, so I may need to go down from there! At 3.25mm, it just seems that the channels can't supply enough juice to thoroughly saturate the wicks for each draw. I find myself taking priming draws every three hits or so.

I just want to thank everyone that responded, you rock!

vaping gcd mixed with acb at 12 watts in my lemo- 9 wraps of 28g kanthal on a 5/64" drill bit, 1.6 ohms, wicked with cotton labo. flavor is intense and delicious- i'm sure the virus would be the same.
Yep

So I think I'm going to purchase a Lemo. After reading through the Lemo mega thread this morning, I believe I'm sold. Every time I hit my kayfun I find myself thinking "I need more airflow."
That's why I bought one.
the lemo has a ridiculous amount of airflow
It's a dripper with a tank on top. I had to drill my RM2 out to 3/32" to get the same airflow
Yep this is the big selling point of it for me. That and the glass tank...and the price...lol. My OCD was having troubles accepting the 23 mm diameter though but I think I'm over it.
The overhang isn't that big a deal, even for us OCD challenged :laugh:. But buy a spare glass tank if you are REALLY OCD.

Penguiness KNOWS.

Oh, you lost control of this thread a LONG time ago Mr. Kin. :D

Lose the Kayfun, seriously. But yeah, that build will do it.
