Q, wish I could like non-tobaccos (more specifically, non-NETs). Sadly, the large majority of NETs are coil trashers and do not survive a full KFL tank. Fortunately, my favorite NET is HHV's, Dragon's Fire and it is a very clean burning NET (one of the very few). This is what my KFL is dedicated to. Most of the rest I burn in a basic Phoenix rba because they are small capacity and wick/coil changing/cleaning is a snap. For those who enjoy W2V, QnJ, GeJ, NETCOM, A+, others the KFL is not the best device (for me). So sad. :(

I'd love to try NETs but can't since they are N/A in Canada and we can't import them as well.

I read, heard, saw somewhere (please don't ask for a link cuz I'm not having much luck finding it - but it may be in one of NinjaVapes vids or possibly PBusardo) that the ProVari performs best with a coils between 1.3 - 1.5ohms. It has something to do with how efficiently the battery works with coils in that range.

P.S. my KFL+ never showed yesterday and now the FedEx site reads "estimated delivery N/A" ??? - sigh.

'scuse me?! If I remember correctly we live in the same city, and 90% of what I use are NET's. You really need to pay me a visit with around 1/2 dozen or so empty 10ml bottles.

Feel like driving to Pickering this weekend?! :D

I'm not responsible for that, honestly! :)

Lovely :) I'd rather meet you in Downtown one of these days, 'coz I'm currently posted at the HQ on TAVIS work.

Sir, I've nothing specific for the P'vari. My K'funs are built and used on all mods. I mostly use my GP-LUX, the Paps-X and lately the Gus-LORD. Then comes the P'varis and other mods.

All my Attys (see my signature), including my K'funs/Russians are built with Microcoil & Cotton. Some with cotton ball/s and some with the S'n'C cotton yarn.

For wire, I only have (and use) 28g Kanthal. They are wrapped over a toothpick and read between 1.2Ω to 1.4Ω. I've one R-91 on 0.8Ω and it fires perfectly on the P'vari tho I generally use it on my mechs.
View attachment 306191
~Organic Cotton Ball: Swisspers, from Walmart
~Kanthal: from CanVape
~Lily's S'n'C cotton yarn: Lily® Sugar

I've my GP-Spheroids and one K'fun setup with a "Split-Microcoil" reading at 1.2Ω. Loaded with S'n'C yarn it just blows out the plumes. Here's my pictorial on it: ECF Post #14515: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...p-paps-gp-piccolo-more-1452.html#post12013629

My juices are all 80/20 PG/VG, and are:
~Stinky Canuck's Pink Poison, Fantasia and IceBerry Tots
~Sadie's (Evaperated) Halcyon, Incognito and Myst
~VapeMeet's Peral Necklace, Pillow Talk and Mango-Lichee (can never pronounce it's name, nor can it's spelling)
~ECV's RY4D (Double version only) and Grape Jolly
~MLV's Virginia Menthol Tobacco (Ian doesn't make in any more, so have found a similar in Yaeliq)
~Yaeliq's Black Honey Tobacco, Turkish Tobacco, Tiramisu and Israel Coffee
Note: I have the Grant's Vanilla Custard too, but till now find it nothing special (not my ADV).

I hope that was as much detailed as possible.


Thanks for this.. by all intents and purposes, what I built on my KFL's yesterday should work, but they don't. Grrr.. oh well, more experimenting.

Sometimes this stuff just doesn't make sense to me..

One variable that I see is that I'm vaping 70/30 juices, which really should not cause an off-flavour issue that I'm experiencing. The second is that I'm not using S'n'C yarn, but 100% cotton yarn of a different brand. Again, not much of a variable in my mind, but could it be that?!

I'm going to try a smaller diameter coil again, maybe even the 1.5mm :)ohmy:) and see if that improves the overall build.

Whhaaatt? You have build trouble/s with the K'funs? I thought we had gone over it b'fore. Anything I put into my K'funs 'work' just right straight out of the build... I don't even think twice or look at what/how I'm inserting into the microcoil. I thus don't understand.

I'm just going to sit in the corner now...

Never you mind sittin' in a corner Mr. When the moon comes out tonight you better be outside, under that oak tree, with all your spells and incantations and whatever else you use and chant my KFL+ into my mailbox by dawn!!!!!

LOL! I've always had really good luck with imports so maybe its just my turn for a little glitch. I don't blame you Akdare, but if you could vape just a little eye of newt juice I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. ;)

So, you understand where my dilemma is!! It always happens when I stray from my happy place and start to change things up.. :(
