Kayfun LITE

[Bronze]

The problem is, these babies are 24mg that were gifted to me. I can rock that on-the-go, but that's just too much for dripping at home. These are juices known from the gunkiest of NET vendors, I won't mention their name, but I really want2vape them

I put a regular juice in to try test my new gapped coil. It's working really well, so trying the gunkers next, probably just a half a tank to start with.

Let me know how it works Jerms. I guess I remain skeptical (juice is juice is juice) but it certainly is worth a try.

W2V is the gunk champions to be sure. But QnJ and GeJ aren't far behind. The juice is still awesome and worth the trouble IMO.

I think the idea is that gunk tends to accumale the most where the airflow hits it, so the gap may slow down the biggest build up of juice that's usually in the center of the coil. The rest of the coil will of course gunk as it normally does, just hoping to get an extra mil or two before it needs burning.

If it doesn't work that way, meh, still a good coil, but it would be a nice bonus. I'll let ya know my results.

Definitely worth a go.

Why is it that all good things have a price attached to it?

Actually I think - based on my latest setup - that the gunk builds up the more coil is exposed to air. I do a single micro with cotton pulled through (typical install). I use a very light strawberries and cream juice that will typically last 1 week before it's gunked. My last two re-wick, I did what I call a combover wick with the cotton. It's a longer piece of cotton pulled through, doubled over and goes to the oposite deck. So it's fed from both sides each. That's tough to explain and isn't very different from what some people here have done.

However, what I do differently is I actually purposefully cover the top and sides of the coil with the wick. I leave just a sliver visible from the top. This pretty much encapsulates most of the coil with juicy wick. I'm at darn near _3 weeks_ and I know I'll need to re-wick and dry burn either tonight or tomorrow. I've done this twice now and had the same time extension.

The more coil that's covered by wick, the less likely it is to gunk up and taste foul.

Interesting. I have a coil gunker that I'm going to test this theory.

Please do. Its working well for me. But this juice is pretty clear.

it could be because of your theory of less coil exposed to air, or it could be the reduced heat of the coil caused by more saturation and less vaporization. this is my experience with flavor wicks anyways. I have tried them and even liked them and had made posts here about them as well. what I found was I didn't seem to go thru as much liquid and had thought this was because the coils were cooled down somewhat and less vaporization was taking place. after trying these coils for sometime I felt the flavor was slightly diminished because of this. anyways I do agree that it could help maybe keeping the coil less gunky but because I don't vape those juices I couldn't say

Actually, for my case this isn't true. I turned up the wattage on my Kick2 a tad to compensate. I get the same warmth and vapor that I'd get with just a typical flavor wick, but increased longevity with the comb over wick.

I absolutely love my Kick2. I'm using this setup around 12.5 Watts.

so you did initially feel a slight difference in warmth and by increasing a bit, it sort of equaled out?

It was very minor. Mainly the airflow was less than just a simple wick. But its easy to get used to, and the extra pressure from the draw helps it sustain 12 to 13 Watts easily.

maybe it was the reduced airflow, but I did notice a difference in the vape and because I was already maxed out, I couldn't go any higher to compensate. maybe now I will give it another go since I now have a dna -20. thanks

No Ron, the juice itself is gunky. Jerms and I vape a lot of NETs (naturally extracted tobacco). It's inherent in the juice itself. NETs destroy coils. They've correctly earned the title of "Atty Killers". I use a dripper for most NETs because it holds only 12 drops. When I sense the wick/coil is gunked I can easily replace the wick and dry burn the coil. It usually happens around the 2ml mark. At 4+ mls on a KFL the wick is trashed well before finishing the tank. And a dripper it is much easier to access the wick and coil vs the KFL.

There are some exceptions. Heather's Heavenly Vapes and some Ahluison NETs are clean burning and work very well in the KFL's.

FWIW - I can get through a full tank of Bluegrass Burley, or Vurley (in fact that's all that's been in my kayfun) without much of any flavor loss. Granted the wick is destroyed at the end, and the coil needs some serious work, but it is sure is great until that point I just run a simple 1.1 micro with cotton run on a mech and find I get better flavor with Truman's style of placing the strip of cotton over top of the coil as well.

That's pretty impressive, those aros are gunkers. I bet the extra wick covering the top slows down the gunk. I've been meaning to try that technique but haven't yet.

While, in general, A+ tends to be less gunky than most NETs, those A+ aros are pretty gunky so this is promising. Now, load some Grandpa's Night Cap in there and let's see what happens.

Truman has gotten me into a habit of placing a wick strand on top of ever coil whether it'd a kayfun or RDA lol

So I should start putting a wick strand over the top of my coils and it should help slow down the gunking process so I can use a full tank with my gunky juices now? ;D

Give it a try Ron and see how it works. I'll be trying it. Can't hurt.

Without the truman wick it's definitely a hotter and harsher vape that seems to lose flavor a tiny bit faster than with the extra wick. Also, BGB seems to gunk more than Vurley, but again those are the only two juices I've vaped in the kayfun for the last month since I got it. With the truman wick, it's a cooler, less TH and harshness kind of vape for sure. The other noticeable benefit, is that I think it wicks much much better with the extra wick - using 70pg/30vg juices that wick well anyway.

I've tried a tank and a half of Vurley, and the vape only started sucking around the last 1/4 or so of the tank. I think one full tank is about all you can get with the aro's.

Either way, after one tank, the wick has to completely go, and there's still a good coating of gunk all around and inside the coil. Sometimes the cotton gets stuck in there a bit, and produces an exciting fireworks show when dry burning.

HAAAA snagged a sweet kfl+ v2 off the classies while vacationing at punta Cana. Life is good

Lol hoarding more? For $110 u could have gotten a new one shipped from intaste

Got my 22mm mtank today, so while I was putting it on I soaked my 23mm tank in hot water and a little bit of dish soap but when I came back to it 30min later and drying it, it was cloudy...
