I've been having the same problem with my Diver 2. Lots of vapor but no flavor. The only time I can get any flavor is when I intentionally flood it so it has to be a wicking problem. I've tried many rebuilds. I've had marginal success raising the coil higher but still not great. My next retry will be using a thinner juice. Too thick of juice, high VG, maybe be your problem.

Your wick may be at fault. I like to use Silca ekowool no smaller than 2.5mm. I also have had good luck with Ekowool 2 - 2.5 mm with cotton wick inside it. You can take a big needle and thread it inside it. I am about to try some 3mm and see how that works. One other option is to go with dual coils ( see shotgun coils on Youtube). Some really love cotton and it does deliver more flavor IMO but i get tired of them as they don't last as long. IF non of this works try going to a higher PG juice. PG delivers flavor a little better IMO only thing is you lose the big clouds. Reason 100% PG juice is considered to be a stealth juice. Not much of a visible cloud. OH just remembered. Some of the clones out there have a QA problem. Look at the two intersecting millings that make up the juice slots. If they do not meet well you will not get good juice flow. ALSO there are a couple of versions that have 4 not 2 juice slots. The aqua and one version of the kayfun lite.

I have bo idea what I'm doing wrong, I've tried more cotton, less cotton, using silica.. I cannot get it give me flavor. I get great vapor but no flavor at all, never a dry hit, but no flavor.

The Kayfun type RDAs are really good for flavor. If you're not getting that from yours something is wrong. You have not given us enough information to really help you. Is it a clone? What types of coil are you using, what resistance, is your wick wet enough? Are you keeping the wick tails off the top of the juice channels? Getting any dry hits?

Kayfuns are really quite simple if there is nothing physically wrong with them. I have a Fasttech clone that had juice channels that were a bit small. I Dremeled them out a bit and that solved it for me. If your wick is a bit dry you need to make sure the wick is not touching the top of the juice channels. Kayfuns do not like low resistance. I can't go lower than about 0.8 ohms and find around 1.0 ohm is better.

Hang in there. Once you get this figured out it will be a great vape :)
