I’m pretty sure this has been asked before, but I’m not sure where to look. How does the K-Lite perform with high VG juice 70+%???

Thanks!

I've had some trouble with it. Indigo Cpt. Ron is a 50/50, and probably the thickest juice I have right now (seems thicker than 50/50). It works, but I have to give it a couple of quick pulls (no power) to get more juice to the wicks. This is especially true with a fresh battery.

Setup is .9ohm diagonal coil, 28 gauge kanthal, 2mm ekowool. Built it like Todd shows in the reviews.

Going to try higher resistance and figure 8 method next, and see if it improves.

Only went back a couple pages, so not sure if this has been discussed. Is anyone else getting some slight leaking from the fill area? Every time I take it off the mod, there is a bit of juice between the mod and the k-lite. I have 2 and they both do this.

Put a small amount of teflon tape on the fill screw. This has fixed my issue and lasted for about 4-5 tank fulls so far without a drop.

Sure it is not 'weeping', thru the air-hole instead? There r a few here who have leaking issues from the fill-hole... and some plugged it with a bit of teflon, while the others used the small O-rings of the 'green mini-screwdriver' (which came in the package).

I personally have no leaking from anywhere, though I 'only' use the fill-hole for topping up, which is nearly once-a-day... since the last 15 days!

Awesome, thanks! I was thinking this or a tiny o-ring. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one :)

Besides the slight leak, these things are great.

I'm sure it's not the air hole. If it is, it's being very sneaky about it lol. I never get any gurgle like I would expect if some liquid made it into the air hole. Don't see any around that area either. I'm going to try the tape or o-ring (if I can find one), and I think it will stop. I didn't get a screwdriver with mine :( Which vendor sends them? I got mine both from Cloud 9.

Has anyone else set theirs up with ribbon wire? I've done 28g and 30g 10 wrap micro coils, 28 and 30 3/4 and 4/5 standard sized coils, and tonight I set it up with ribbon. I did a 3/4 of .7 ribbon around a 3/32 drill bit and am using cotton yarn for wick. All I have to say is wow. I use ribbon in my gennies but not in my drippers because I feel it vapes too warm in those, but in the Lite it's perfect.

This is how most of us received ours:

There was a green mini-screwdriver in the package. Came from InTaste :)
