Hey,

After diving into the world of rda's I noticed that I couldn't vape with my KF normally anymore (semi-tight mouth to lung) so I tried to open up the airflow and let's say on a 5 second draw, I get a open'ish draw and it starts tightening pretty fiercely, on the second draw I get a dry hit. I took out the airflow screw and it's exactly the same, not open as I thought it would be.

I remember reading somewhere someone saying that there's a little ball inside the airflow that is there to prevent whistling and that it could be stuck, I am getting enormous whistling, it's terrible, so I took a picture of the hole. Could that be it? Is this tightening my airflow?

The ball I think you're talking about is in the Russian style filler port, that looks like the kayfun Style that's filled from the bottom so it won't have one.

As others have said, break it down, remove the center pin and make sure everything is clear with no obstructions. Also check the center pin insulator, sometimes it can be a wee bit to tall and partially cover the hole on the center shaft.

Thanks guys.

That hole you're looking at is the airflow controller, I just removed the grub screw.
There's something green inside as you can see, don't know what that could be. I'll disassembly it tonight and see if there's anything in the centre pin. Also, does your KF whistle like MAD? I thought they fixed that on the 2014 revision...

Also, I do have the coil very high as on my first build it was muting the flavor because it was too low

The picture you showed us is of the green anti whistle ball. Take a small screw driver, flip your kayfun upsjde down and push that ball down gently. It became unseated from its normal position thus why youre getting whistling and random air flow blockage.

Well, I fixed the draw. The draw is perfect now. BUT, the whistling... oh my god the whistling is terrible... It's making me wonder if I should replace this with a Russian 91%... The flavor right now is just absolutely outstanding! The ball is still in there, I just poked it 200x with a needle trying to get it out, didn't work so it's just there but .......n this whistling :(
