Kayfun Lite Plus and throat hit

[gpjoe]

OK, I have two Kayfun Lite clones, one is a Plus model, both are from ehpro. It seems with either, I get much more throat hit than I like, the vape can be pretty harsh. On my RDAs (Igo W or L) I am able to vary the coil distance from the deck, change resistance, and vary the cotton wick density to get the mild throat hit that I prefer.

So, for the experts out there - how do I decrease the throat hit on the Kayfun-style atomizer? I've varied my coils in many ways: different resistance, diameters (but generally go with 1/16" ID), micro coils that I've squeezed tightly and torched, loose coils with small spaces between wraps. I've tried tight cotton wicks, loose wicks...etc...and I still get waaaay too much throat hit (for me).

Is this just the nature of the atomizer, or is there another way to mitigate the throat hit? I can take huge lung hits off my drippers, but using the same juice with these Kayfun clones I find myself coughing and hacking, even with a minor mouth-to-lung hit.

Help?

pretty much the same issue i'm having with my KFL+ and i'm guessing it has to do with the tight draw

Yeah, to be honest, if this is as good as it gets, I'll likely just sell them - or at least the Plus clone. It seems to be the worse of the two.

But not giving in just yet. I'm hoping for a simple fix.

weird, I just got a kf plus v2 and I set it up at 1.3 ohm on 3mm silica, it's super smooth for me...

Maybe it's the cotton? But I get fantastic results with cotton on my drippers.

I turn down the power or voltage to lessen harsh throat hits. That also seems to eliminate any gurgling.

i'm not much of a cotton guy so I cant comment on that, I don't get any gurgling either, I'll take my dripper any day but im rather enjoying the kf... mine is not a clone thou, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. The AFC works great on the v2 also.

Use silica. At least a millimeter gap. Use higher vg mix. Lower your nicotine.

All solid suggestions - thanks.

I ssume the gap you are referring to is the gap under the coil? Does raising the coil lower throat hit?

I guess I should have mentioned in my original post - I'm using a mech mod. Never even considered using it on a regulated device. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks.

I agree that you should have a 1-2mm air gap under the coil. You may have to drop your Nic concentration, I know that I had to go from 18 to 12mg in my KFL and a lot of other people haver reported the same in the KFL thread.

Set up right, I would be surprised if switching to silica helps. I like to be corrected when I am wrong though.

 

[SamNapolitanke]

Nic level, yes. i did not touch on this, i have a boatload of 12. When i got my first dripper and kf i had to go and buy some 6. I am now exclusively doing 6 or 0

Yes coil height does affect TH on the KFL. I think it's actually a very mellow vape for the most part, with my coils being about 1.5 MM off the deck. The higher the coil is, the more TH you will get. Like some have stated before Nicotine levels hugely affect the TH, try dropping your level for juices in the Kayfun, should help.
