tried the dual coil in vapdivvr's vid, so far it is working good. 30g 10wrap @ 2.3ohm running at 8 watts on hana mod. Thanks vapdivvr!

Glad you caught it. We'd sure miss your rot pup.

haha, yeah, i wouldn't want to miss anything in here and, he's not a pup anymore. he's a 120 pounder, best dog ever, well socialized and trained

Hate to break it to you '64, but you're not a pup anymore either and I'll bet you weigh more than 120 lbs. You're lucky your dog doesn't run away from you.

And yet another perspective...similar to vapdiver's...

looks exactly the same as my wick. he said not to block off channels but the tails are pretty much there right in front and when those tails get wet they expand. so what else could be done to block them off? I know some use slightly thinner wicks compared to the one in this video but mine are pretty much the same although I don't get as much resistance when pulling my wicks through the coil.

better man then me brother I would probably crush that coil. I have tried thinner wire in some builds and they come out mashed up and mangled. besides the fact that I prefer low resistance I also like to work with thicker wire because its not so delicate. thanks

So I decided to try all cotton (I have been playing around with ceramic). Watched vapdivvr's great video this morning kayfun lite coil set-ups - YouTube and slapped one together at lunch.

So far I'm pleasantly surprised. I did the two vertical single micro coil build, using 28g around a 16g needle. I wanted to be a little cautious as it was my first build of this sort, so I believe it was ~10 wraps and came out at ~1.3-1.4 ohms. I think next time I will shoot for 0.9-1.0 range. It seems fairly versatile, vapeable from 9-15 watts (~3.7-4.6v) currently at 14 watts/4.4v and liking it so far.

*Edit - Russian on DNA20 mod

hey buddy just purchased the futura dna-20 tube mod from nexgenvapors. not sure when I will actually receive it because its a pre order, cant wait.

His wick definitely looked thicker and a little longer.

Tennovan, that's pretty much what I am doing. I like to keep it simple as the Kayfun allows for simplicity. I'm seeing lots of interesting ways to wick and coil the Kayfun but truthfully find most of it to be unnecessary (albeit fun to watch). A simple inline micro-coil with easily insertable cotton ball wick does the trick every time. I liked some of vapdiver's leg tricks for easy mounting on the screws. I think it should be pointed out that for the subohm enthusiasts, 26 ga (as vapdiver uses) is a good choice while 30 ga is a better choice for the regulated mod users where higher resistance is mandatory. Just my opinion as there will be someone who comes along and refutes everything I just said.

good point, I would hate to see someone with a vv device go out and buy some 26g wire. I do believe that 28g works really well with vv devices, but only with micro coils. with standard coils I agree 30g is king.

 

[vapdivrr]

Fantastic! Your previous one was good enough... I succeeded my micros by following it to the T... now this one, which is more neater off course, gets me to try your type of dual micros on my next build.

Thanks buddy! I might 'subscribe' to your YT channel now I guess... another vape-reviewer in the making, is it?

thanks, I do appreciate it

 

[vapdivrr]

nice vid...thanks for pointing that one out. At about 12:50, he rolls his cotton and inserts it into the coil. I usually dont use that much cotton where you need to force feed it through the coil. This contrasts a bit to vapdivrr's technique and with what I do as well. I found that this can inhibit juice flow. But I guess it may depend upon how you compress the cotton prior to placing it in the coil.

Any other force feeders out there that want to share experiences?

hey buddy. yes a bit more then my wicks for sure, but like you said it can depend on how its rolled before inserting. I actually roll my wicks fairly good before inserting while some just twist the ends. I suppose because I roll my entire length that once it absorbs it fluffs up pretty good. unlike the reo I have had the best results in a slightly larger wick then a slightly thinner wick.

 

[vapdivrr]

I cut the wick exactly how you do in your single coil build, I pretty much used the exact amount of cotton, maybe a tad more cause my coil is slightly larger

what I didn't show in the video is how I roll the wick up before inserting. while some only twist the ends and leave the middle un touched I roll the wick the entire length fairly good. i think that once it gets wet it expands pretty good.

Good vid, thanks!

thank you for watching

I'm using 30ga for my micros (2mm inside diameter). 10 wraps is yielding 1.8 ohms.

BTW...what is the diameter of that 16ga blunt needle tip you use in your vids? If I recall, you implied it was a little less than 5/64ths (2mm)???

 

[vapdivrr]

yes thicker for sure but the length looked pretty much the same. like gdeal stated in a previous post it also has to do with how tight you roll it before inserting (which i didn't actually show). i do roll it kind of dense the entire length before inserting.

its slightly larger the a 1/16 drill bit. pretty sure its like 1.6 to 1.7mm id.

if you overfill you don't have to open it up and take some out, you can just vape what you primed, then put your finger over the air hole and give one good suck, you've just squonked your chamber and added an air bubble to your tank, might need to do this again once or twice but eventually you'll have enough bubble that it will then feed on the draw


as far as "blocking the wick hole" I think you guys have your holes confused a pic is worth 1,000 words, so a quick sketch :

 

[turbocad6]

blocking the wick is harder to do on the lite than it is on a mini because the mini chamber is much smaller, so a smaller "hole" to block. the full sized ones have plenty of room, when you fill that hole you then plug off the feed

Well, so far I have made two wick/coils for my KFL. Both had 30ga, 10 wrap, 2mm dia. micros. The first one I used doubled-over, 2m cotton wick (actual wick form). The second one I used four strands of 1mm silica. Both performed flawlessly and provided equal flavor/feel. I'm down to a few drops of juice on this current tank so I'll clean it up and make me a cotton ball wick tomorrow using your leg arrangement (in particular). I know it's hard to describe how much cotton ball to use. It's so dependent on how much one compresses it. But I've used cotton ball wicks w/micro-coils on my Phoenix RBA's so I have a pretty good idea of what you're talking about.

Those thunderboomers were a nice touch in your vid. And also marked the beginning of your leg tutorial.
