Hi all. I have been following this forum for a month now. After seeing the tons of useful info on here, I decided to sign on and join the community. I started vaping about 6 months ago. I was still using nasty cigarettes. I ended up dropping those things 2 months ago and haven't looked back. So I became a serious vape head. I upgraded my setup from a cheap pen that I bought at a convenience store and got an Itaste 134. Absolutely no comparison. So a few weeks after that I got an Itaste VTR. I love that one too. But I have decided that smoking was cheaper. Simply because now I have started collecting mods and tanks. LoL!! I recently got a kayfun Lite Plus. Rebuilds are Greek to me. Wire diameter, how many wraps, how to get the coil to the desired ohm. But with some digging here, I'm sure I will find the answers.

Welcome aboard to the ECF community. Congrats on being cig free for the past 2 months.
Hehe . . . No worries, all things in due time. You'll be building coils in short time. Just keep reading and researching.

Welcome, Haylon!
Congrats on the switch and on joining the club
With your regulated mods, you'll want to keep your KF above about 1.2 Ω, since that's a fairly common low Ω shut down for many of them. I generally make a tensioned wrap of 30 gauge Kanthal A1 on a 2 mm shaft for my KFs, as I like the way that performs. 8 turns will come in about 1.9 Ω - but you do need to measure it before firing. Any mistakes there and you might be looking for a new mod. Or fingers. (Well, regulated mods are supposed to shut down on a short, but..... ) Three are many ways to build a KF, so don't take mine as any kind of gospel!
Sure, there are some initial start-up costs, but once you're past that, it really can be a lot cheaper. And definitely cheaper than chemo!

Good luck to you and I look forward to seeing some of your builds.
