Hello everybody,
I have several questions that I was hoping some of you vets could answer for me. I'm a new member and not sure if this was the right place to post or not, so sorry in advance if I'm in the wrong forum.
I started vaping about 2 months ago and just got my first RBA, the Kayfun Lite Plus by Tobeco. I am having several issues that I need some help with.
I'm using the kayfun on a vamo v5. I wrapped a 1.5 ohm micro coil using organic cotton ball wick. I'm vaping on the vamo around 4.5 volts.
Here's the issues I'm having:
1) I'm top filling and getting some flooding and leaking out of the air hole. I started out filling using the screw hole in the bottom but I kept having issues with the juice running out of the drip tip while filling, and I was also having the same flooding and leaking issues. I did take it apart and make sure all of the orings were in place and in good condition. I read some tips on how to top fill and this is how i'm doing it: I place my thumb over the air intake hole on the side and remove the top cap, fill it with juice, put the top cap on and turn a few times, flip it upside down and wait for the air to move to the top, then remove my thumb and tighten before flipping it back right side up.
2) I'm occasionally getting dry hits. I have read that this can be too much wick or too little wick so I guess I'll just have to play with it until I get it right. My main question is about voltage. With the 1.5 ohm coil, is 4.5 volts a good place to vape at? I kinda assumed that the wick was the main issue, but thought that maybe I was running at at too high of a voltage. Oh, and I made sure to raise the coil up over the air intake a little too. It would be helpful is someone could post a pic of their builds so I can get an idea of the right amount of wick.
3) If I do have flooding issues, is there anything I can do to fix it without having to take it apart and waste the juice?
Thanks in advance for your help. It's great that noobs like me can have a place to turn for answers!
