HCIGAR NEMESIS CLONE AND Kayfun lite V2 questions

Status
Not open for further replies.
So here is the deal my NT family. I have the Nemesis Clone with the kayfun lite V2 using 28 gauge wire and organic cotton from Hawaii(7bucks and u can tell the difference lol ) any who regardless of all the I am new to mods. I'm looking to do a my first micro coil. (I know your thinking "I remember my first coil"lol) so I'm try to figure out a good number of wraps, what size drill bit I should use to wrap it around to get the ohms where they need to be to get clouds and not sacrifice flavor. Friends here say 1.2 -1.5 ohms should be good but I need advice.

Another little tip for my Kayfun I don't build my coils at an angle like the Rip Tripper video. Straight between the screws, ends of coil facing the juice channel sides. Wick straight down just touching the deck. I find wicking amount is a little less critical. Betelgeuse flavor exploded when I started building this way. Once I get this darn smart phone figured out I can start posting pictures.

I got my first Kayfun a few weeks ago and I am in love with it! Hcigar KFL+V2 and I love that it came with the nano kit! I haven't had any problems after I properly wicked it. Great quality but i drilled my side air hole out to 3/32 and it was even better. I've been running mine 1/16 28ga at 1.2 ohms. Produces a nice warm flavorful vape. Im going to drop off a wrap next time I rebuild it now that I have my wicking issues figured out but I can't imagine it getting much better. Virus + Kayfun = heaven :D

I loaded the Virus in my KFL+ for the first time in a long time the other day... I get lots and lots of tobacco absolute - more than in a dripper.

I'm a little late to the party, but I also run my Kayfun's at 1.2 ohms wrapped on 5/64. I use my Nemesis mod's more than any other.

Do NOT go below 1 ohms (some say 1.1) unless you are using good quality, high drain, genuine batteries that can handle it safely! I use Sony VTC4's and VTC5's. You are putting yourself at great risk with something that close to your face.

My taste has come back tremendously in the last 2 months off of analogs but your flavors are often so complex that it is hard for me to discern exactly what all I'm tasting most of the time. I just know that I like it :D:vapor:.

When I build my Kayfun, I aim for .8-1.0 ohms. Any lower than that and the vape is just too warm for my liking and any higher it starts getting too cool and the vapor is less dense. I also discovered a technique that virtually eliminates dry hits and leakage no matter what juice I am using. I can't take the credit, I found it on youtube but can't remember who posted it. I am using a 3/32" bit which allows for lots of fluffy cotton.

I build my coil and install it perpendicular to the posts as 5spike suggests.
I then wick with cotton and leave about an inch on each side.
Fold the wick upwards and install the bell with the wick poking out the top.
Cut the wick to about an 1/8" above the bell. Then blow down onto the wick which will separate all the fibers. Keep blowing until the wick is all fluffy.
Using a needle or the smallest jewelers screwdriver, gently separate the two sides of the wick.
Then gently, starting from the outside, poke the wick down into the bell, forming a half moon shape on each side of the coil.
Don't poke the wick down tight, you want to keep it as fluffy as possible.
When done, you should have a half moon of wick filling both sides of the bell, and all you should be able to see are the two screws and the coil. the wick shouldn't bend sharply off the coil and should be even with or ever so slightly higher than the coil.
Screw in the chimney, then remove to ensure that it doesn't interfere with your wick. If it does, lightly tuck the wick in a bit further.

The wick action, vapor, and flavor is amazeballs, I haven't had a dry hit yet using this technique.

I hope the description and steps make sense. If not, I'll try to get a picture posted later.

Very very nice build advice.
