I went ahead bought the KF3.1 from Intaste cost around $44 more than the KFL on C9V couldn't wait for the KFL but I'll wait it out for the next batch

I feel kinda stupid for all these weeks trying my best to keep the wicks away from the inlets but somewhere I read something about it and got it into my head that was what I had to do, that everyone was doing it (and obviously doing it better than me). The difference is night and day! I couldn't figure out what I was/wasn't doing. I knew it had to be something simple.. and it was LOL
Really did you get it in a co-OP? Im still waiting on my 91% from ole Buckyqorax:10710005 said:
I'm in a 91% pre-order as well. I gave up waiting when I got lucky and saw that intaste.de had it avail. Got it about two weeks ago, slapped a 1.4ohm microcoil and cotton wick in it, took a puff or two and left for an overnight fishing trip. Boy was I happy!
I ran about 10 tanks through before I got the feeling I needed to change the wick. Put a new wick in and am still going on that set up.
I did get the tiny dribble from the fill hole and used the o-ring from micro-screw driver as suggested earlier in this thread. That stopped all leaks. Or so I thought. Now I DO change altitude here - I live on top of the hill in my neighborhood - 36' above sea level. I am certain that's not the cause. But I've had it long enough now to be sure that going from A/C to 80+ degrees does start some leakage through the air hole. Not a lot, and it clears up once it's acclimatised and I've had a few vapes, but it is annoying to some extent. Mostly because the air hole sits directly above the button on my ProVari.
Still using gennies while really enjoying this KFL! And still looking forward to the 91% if . . .

Oh not that, picked up the 'full version' - the Kayfun 3.1ES clone. Got my tracking# at noon. Expected delivery day after√
Fetched it for three reasons:
1. To compare it with the Kayfun and see what the hullabaloo is all about
2. Was cheap -- $110 shipped
3. Was sitting [in stock] inside Canada.

I think you will be plesently surprised with The Russian. I don't have a kayfun to compare it to, but I can't find anything wrong with it.
I've been having the same issues as Donnah, having to intentionally flood or else dry hits. I've been doing microcoils on my Reo's for months without any problems, so I have been really frustrated. I was also up hung my wicks away from the channels, trying not to block them off, so I really hope that lining them up and trimming at the ledge helps the KFL work better. If not I'll probably put it in the classies, I have such an easy time with my Reo's and I am really frustrated with this, gettin to the point where I am sick of fiddling and it never works for long. I wish I was getting the results most of you are.
you misreading my post. I know there is no need for a tilt in the kayfun. my post merely posses a question of, if someone were to tilt the kayfun because they are so used to vaping a genesis device, does this over tilting of the kayfun have adverse reactions to the tilt? like possible dry hits. as for the kayfun blowing out a genesis device? I think it depends on the build of said genny. I bet I could set up a genny for you and with you blind folded take a vape off both, you may be surprised.
just a thought, because tbh, with this certain drip tip I use for the most part I vape the lite pretty much vertical. glad to know that this might not be a reason for potential dry hits some are getting. I just sit back and try to figure out why some do, this is just something that crossed my mind. thanks for the plus on it makes no difference.
I'm looking for a drip tip that goes well with it. I don't like the look of the stock drip tip. I just got a brass tip that looks great but still not perfect. I think this needs a low profile tip.
Anyone see anything wrong with this build? Other than my dirty thumbnail??
I wet the tails with liquid, and laid them down on the deck right over the channels, so far this seems to he working better than when I tried to put the wicks a way from the channels.
But, my other builds worked good for a bit then dry hits all the time. I'll know tomorrow if this actually wicks correctly.
Then cotton looks kinda dense in the pics but its really not at all. It was almost falling apart when pulling it thru the coil, really fluffy....

You know..
I'm tasting cotton on this build. Driving me crazy. I'm getting a lot of "sizzling" too, and on some of my better performing builds I don't get all the noise from firing. The only thing I didn't like about this build is that I couldn't mount my coil diagonally, from top left to bottom right, because of where the legs ended up. That shouldn't matter though. Also, it's 28g, 8-9, @ 1.8, 1/16"
Here's a shot of the cotton I use..
What do I need to look at here?
if I were to guess I would have to say that the wick tail end is not full enough where it meets the deck. it just doesn't look dense enough. as for the cotton, I only use sterile.

"Appears" to be a little too much cotton, but this could be the picture. However, you will know if it is too much. The amount of cotton is the only variable in the micro-cotton build that requires some trial and error. IMO.
I've been doing cotton on drippers with no issue at all....just this damn KFL giving me issues. That was way less cotton than I use in my drippers.

I may look like a lot of cotton because it is fluffy, but the ends are definitely not dense enough. when I roll up a wick I roll it up a little tighter then the one in the pick and its consistant all the way down to the end. drippers and the reo is a little different and in those I don't use a lot of cotton, but in the kayfun I use a nice slightly dense piece that barely makes it through the coil.
Vapdivrr should make a video of a kayfun build! I liked your ac9 cotton vid.

it seems like its still working, im glad. in the first post you made after you reading my late nighter you said you made one right on the channel but you didn't make it fluffy where it touched. don't be afraid to make it a little fluffy, even their, it will still work.
