yeah, and at .9 ohms total, it heated up really really quick and was extremely nice. should have stuck with it but had to try something else I guess

Idon't have kayfun Lite yet but I got the next best thing in vapemail from VapeRev, which is its Drip Tip !! lol No seriously, i really am enjoying the KFL's drip tip and it's not too shabby on my standard sized laser slotted boges.
RHP
its funny, the only part of the kaylite I don't use is the original drip tip, I just found it to restrictive.
qorax, I think the hemp you used is different to the hemp fibers that are becoming popular at the moment. yours seemed to be in a chord, while the fiber stuff that's going around now seems more like cotton. maybe its the same stuff in the end, yours was just in rope form. anyways I have heard great things on the hemp fibers, im getting some to test this week. the boiling process like you said is a must. so in the end was there not that much difference to justify the cleaning process?

looks nice, hey theres my reo!
My experience is no....as long as you have a tight micro/nano and it is setting tight against the air hole.
I finally did a successful one of these builds. I had tried it last month and just couldn't get consistent wicking, after looking at your build I seen it required a lot more cotton. well it works really nice, especially the flavor.
In my opinion it depends on your taste....like anything else....but the hemp fibers (after cleaning, washing, and boiling) I have found that you get a very clean taste even with fruit juices where the hemp is usually noticeable. I have tried several different hemp threads and never got as clean of flavor as with the fiber.
That said....does the fiber taste like cotton....no....at least not to me....and for me I prefer that....cotton isn't bad (I use cvs sterile cotton) but there is definitely a "cotton" taste.
The hemp fiber wicks last much longer than cotton and are a lot more tolerable to heat.
I never had mine set that tight against the airhole too. going to try one of these next time I rebuild. been using hemp fiber past few days and maybe to soon to tell all the nuances of differences from cotton, but so far it seems to wick very well and seems to be more resistant to burning although it def can burn I have seen and it does add a certain taste, not offensive but there until it really breaks in and the taste returns when it gets a little dry
and it does add a certain taste, not offensive but there until it really breaks in and the taste returns when it gets a little dryTurbocad....wash and boil some more....I'm going to try Gdeals hydrogen peroxide and baking soda bath....it all sounds like a pita but those who put in the effort say it goes from good to great with no real hemp taste (unless you burn it of course )

hey buddy I know your having issues with the builds in the k-lite. these builds do take time to master, and require some patients for sure, stick with it and you will eventually get it. im looking at one specific build your doing, its the .8 coil at 3.8v. this build imo should be done with at least 28g wire. I think the 30g is just to thin and at 18 watts of power could just be to much especially if your wick is not perfect. im not saying it cant be done in this combination but if your wick, especially cotton, is not just right, the heat of such a thin wire may singe the wick creating issues. now your next set up is a 2 ohm coil at 4v? is this right? you seem to go from hi wattage to low wattage. maybe try something in between. if your using 30g wire(which imo doesn't work as good in micros) try about 8 wraps, to start I would recommend a 5/64 drill bit. im not sure of this resistance but im thinking 8 wraps might be around 1.5ish ohms, if not adjust the wraps to give you about this resistance.
funny that you mention the coil height. i pulled it apart today to clean it out because that burnt juice was really nasty and put a new wick in. i was messing with it and i took a small flat head screw driver and wedged it between the air hole and the coil and lifted the coil just a tiny bit more. and BAM! no more nasty liquid! it was just a hunch but it worked. divrr you are like yoda lol
And just for comparison here is the liquid in the bottle vs the tank. Same color. Yesterday it was looking like chocolate lol

I've packed them up as well
Using wide mouthed ones since a while and find them better. Easy flow√
Yes, vapdivrr. The HEMP with me is a 'twine'... very similar to jute twines. I still run one of my Kayfuns with it. Replaced the wick about 6-8 times already. It seems to work better than the cotton ball ~ but very similar to the SnC cotton yarn. And yes, the boiling process is a PITA
thus, I've boiled the entire lot in one go some weeks back.
Damn... I just got my first KFL, and all I have are great things to say about it. I was an exclusive genny user, with the rare instance I would use a dripper.
The taste is the same as my ceramic wicks in a genny, but the KFL is way more efficient.
On my AC9 w/ceramic, it would take me two 18490 to kill the tank. I can kill the KFL tank with one 18490.
It probably has to do with the time that ceramic takes to heat up. I am running a 0.8 ohm 28g coil with silica too.
I am in love, and honestly want another

I my opinion, the KFL is the easiest device to set up well to get great flavor from any juice. There is a bit of art to making a good micro coil, but once you get that down it's all butter from then on out.
To anyone having an issue with the coil build on a Kayfun let me give this one piece of advice. Once you've wrapped the coil and torched it to hold it's shape (FYI, you can use a burner on a gas stove to heat the coil), let it cool down and then thread whatever you used to wrap it back into the coil. I use toothpicks, but use whatever you'd like.
Use this to keep the coil in shape and to make it easier to manipulate the coil as you're securing it to the deck.

i went the other way. my first rba was the kfl and i liked it (still like it) but i wanted to venture off and bought myself a steam turbine. ive had the turbine for 2 weeks and ive only ran 2 tanks through it. i keep going back to the kayfun. i like the ease of building it, the flavor production and the fact that i can walk around with it in my pocket and not have to worry about it leak on me. im keeping the turbine because heck, i like the way it looks...but i will be investing in 1 maybe 2 more kfls when budget permitsDamn...

If anyone is interested in the nano kits from Team Rampage, they're in stock again.
Just a little fyi though, since the nano kits don't come with a shorter chimney, if you want to use different drip tips, make sure the hole on the bottom of your preferred drip tip is able to accommodate the narrow end of the chimney. The stock drip tips that comes with the KFL do work with the nano kit.

hey buddy, its been a while. since getting this kayfun I haven't really been doing the genny & ceramic thing anymore but once I get my dna-20 mod I might do a re visit. I do still love the flavor of the fc's for sure but the kayfun is just so easy compared to that. like you said, I don't miss the heat sink issues with ceramic, the micro's & cotton set up is just so efficient and fast.
