I cannot build anything

Looking at the pic earlier I would agree the wicking seems a tad on the small side. Wicking these is tricky as we've talked about before. As far as the Cloupor flashing, what battery are you using?

Edit: The flashing means the device is not able to go below its 4 volt firing. So even when it's firing, it's not giving you the true wattage you want, it's going as close as it can get instead.

sony vtc5,yes i kind of figured as such,and tastes great between 7/8 watts.I m kinda leaning toward an issue with the wick.

I am going by rip's video of the kayfun lite build,on the video it looks like he is not using a lot of cotton,in order to keep it on the base away from the threads?..he also puts e-liquid on the wick first and then fits it flush.I am guessing that is the way you all do it..Going to try my third build on it until I get it right!

You can't use s lot of cotton, or it won't wick well, tasting kinda linen like....but too little cotton causes hot spots and burnt flavor.....just the right amount will be quite yummy.....cotton is cheap, just play with it till you find the amount. Hint....don't fill your tank all the way so its easier to empty till you get the amount figured out.

Good point, not filling your tank all the way is one of the best pieces of advice I got when I first started. Your juice won't feed into the wick channels if your tank is full, the tank needs the air pressure to feed the juice to the wicks. I never fill mine more than 80%, if I do it starts dry hitting.
I couldn't figure out why it was hitting well when I just put a small amount of juice in to test the coil and wicking , but would dry hit when I filled it up all the way, filling it 70-80% made a huge difference.

I meant more for the simplicity of changing wicks till she figures out the optimal amount to use .....that being said, by design I don't think you can fill the kayfun so much that there is no air pocket inside......but to do so WOULD cause it to not draw juice into the channels correctly, since it wouldn't have a good negative pressure.

Haha that too. I wasted so much juice building RBAs at first.

wick/liquid amount lab opens extremely early in the morning

I am not going to waste almost 4 to 5 mils of liquid on the kayfun+,going to extract it,clean every thing again and start over on the build,that's not going to happen I took one draw and got burnt taste,I don't think reusing that liquid would be a good idea!

 

[USMCotaku]

It depends. I've reused liquid when a coil or wick went bad and started burning some juice, with mixed results...sometimes just swapping the wick made all ok again

 

[gel drops]

I was thinking they had to be another way to do that without wasting 3 to 5 mils of juice.

The burnt portion will be inside the chimney/coil area....i use a dropper to suck out the stuff in the tank....remove the top cap to do so

Yes on the dropper,without it would probably be impossible.

 

[USMCotaku]

Not really, if you have a steady hand you can remove the top and pour the liquid back into a bottle....if my tank isn't topped off I sometimes just do that, as it's faster. I keep a few empties just for that (and for mixing flavors if I get one I'm not too fond of...too cheap to throw it out ).

 

[Keeferes]

Look up how to drain a kayfun on youtube. You can basically use the drip tip and flow it right back in a bottle. I personally use a syringe or dropper myself though. I am impatient.

patriot build today! kayfun will be collecting dust for a few days it's a bear.

Well,going to close thread sone.I did get a tremendous amount of help by you all and I appreciate it.I got a lot of practice also,i just never did actually get the hang of it "builds" most that have been following this thread know what I have been working with all of it pretty much brand new stuff,going to crunch some numbers and all of my stuff will be in the classifieds.

 

[USMCotaku]

Don't give up! With practice you will get it. An option till then, most b&m's have someone who will do builds for you, and all you have to worry about is rewicking. A good build should last you over a month.

I know its a problem when I'm actually spending more time trying to make a build and not even be able to hardly vape like i am accustomed to.

 

[USMCotaku]

That's why you keep your other tanks around to vape on while you play around with the building
