Kayfun LITE - Part 2

Not open for further replies.
Hey guys, I am enjoying my vape, but as I'm getting deeper into my vaping experience, the more questions arise. The more research I do, the more questions arise! I feel like a rookie, but I'm having fun. I have a 800maH 3.7 Efest 18350 in a Cartel Mod with a KFL+V2 running 7 wraps of 28g kanthal leading to 1.2 ohms. It seems like a lot of people get a box mod to control the batteries flow. Is this necessary with my setup? Someone educate me.

Hi :)

I'm vaping a 24 mg nicotine liquid in my KFL+. Took a peak at the manual and it states that going over 12 mg can be harmful. I've been on 24 mg a while now, and haven't noticed any harmful effects, as of yet. Should I take the advice seriously?

What the manual is trying to convey is this, the Kayfun delivers so much better than perhaps the atomizer that you are used to using that you might want to lower your nic level to avoid getting too much.

I run mine from a WeeLeaf iStick but I have an IPV2s arriving shortly. The Regulated box mod will allow you to dial in whatever power level is perfect for you. Also you can vape till the battery indicator shows low, then either replace the battery and carry on or plug it in with USB charging. A nice efficient battery management solution which is more convenient IMHO.

I'm not sure i understand your question. Not sure what a box mod has to do with "battery flow". Please explain.

Are you saying you use a mechanical now and are wondering how a regulated mod affects battery life?

1.2 ohms on 18350...Is fine, but probably wont get much puffs out of it. The difference you will notice is that one will give you consistent power vs to your mech that will probably give you 4v on fresh and gradually fade out to lesser power as the battery drains. I vape at 1.5ish ohms at 3.5 and my regulated mod keeps me there untill it cannot deliver 3.5. The KFL series perform very well at lower power and 1ohms above. So your power range is good, perhaps a box mod with bigger battery capacity as most should handle 1.2 ohms now days

How long does that last?

Not really sure but it seems like around a month. Everybody in China just up and quits for a couple of weeks and then it takes them a couple more to catch up.

Sent with no malice and not a whole lot of forethought from my new Galaxy Tab 4. Thanks Santa!

Has anyone tried the Five Pawns version of the Kayfun? The authentic made in Germany goes for about $105 shipped from the US. The site where I found it mentions a 3.5 ml capacity but I think that might be a typo - 2.5 ml is more likely. The smaller capacity somehow produces better flavor for me perhaps because of the shorter chimney.

Hi there Ex, I don't have the five pawns version but it is a beauty. I saw on the C9V site that the capacity is 3.5, so maybe not a typo. Not that I want to take away from US companies but C9V has them for 59 USD pre shipping. Didn't check shipping but can bet it's much less than 105. They also ship very quickly.
Just a thought...

I just looked at C9V and they show it listed for 62.95 euro which is $95.58 US. I would have jumped on it for $59.00 US. Sharp looking for sure.

    88.33 total including shipping from Intaste.de (great service here) I got my 3 original kayfun lites from them last year, was at my door in 4 days.

    So in my vapemail yesterday I received a KFL replacement oring kit that included 6 large orings, 2 small ones and replacement plastic cap thingies that I think go on the build deck maybe? Anyways, I replaced my suspected bad top chimney oring. When I pulled it out it was squished and cut almost halfway through on one side. I suspect this may have been the culprit in my small leak issue after refilling. It never leaked too bad anyways. After replacing that top oring and refilling the tank it's looking really good. When filling it upside down via the fill hole it didnt leak out of the top like it usually does! It's also been much less gurgly and didn't leak through the air hole at all (fingers crossed) after filling.

    Woohoo! I got it from LightningVapes for around $3.50. Seems a bit pricey for a few orings and a couple pieces of plastic but the shipping was free and I'm happy with it! Couldn't find another pack of replacement orings that were in stock for the KFL.

    You can also use loom rubber bands for the large (tank o-rings) there are lots of colors. Also the upper chimney o-ring is same as a drip tip o-ring.

    Those would be the all-important insulators. The rectangular one goes on the build deck under the positive block, the round one in the 510 screw hole.
