I haz a blog post that basically lists down the dimensions of all the spare parts you'll need for a kayfun. Except for the fill screw. Hope that helps

Thanks!! Blog is very helpful. I agree what ya mean by vendors charging a arm and a leg just for orings. What type of orings should I get?

For our applications, the cheapest option (Buna-N) is sufficient, and will last a loooong time.

Great collection AMD, I'm curious about the mod between the mods and the attys, the tall black one, is that a 526500 battery mod ? :confused:

That's a good one :laugh:

It is a Laptop Computer workstation leg/stand bolted to the floor.

P. S: It'll make a good mod if permanently connected to all four truck batteries.

Let's see: 950 Ah X 4 = 3800 Ah X 1000 = 3,800,000 MAh

Yes, it is 3,800,000 MAh MOD. I think it should be enough for a day of vape.

I've got Fogger V4.2 (small deck), V4.3 (large deck) and two Big Foggers.The best performance I get out of 0.8 - 0.5 Ohms builds. But that doesn't mean you can't make it higher. Only, much like your Aqua, with a dual coil design, your coil resistance has to be doubled of your target resistance and you either have to use thinner wire or much longer one and that sometimes creates a problem.

Yeah,and you are correct, it does create a problem. <<<< A large one at that. True you can coil with 32,33, 34 gauge wire on them for non subohming. But even a 32 gauge takes way too many winds of coil. When you get to 33 or 34, its just too thin of a coil to work more than one time, its too flimsy (32 gauge is too), too pull out the old cotton and try re-wicking. All you would end up with is coil thats a mess of a coil if you try. The other problem is wicking a 33- 34 gauge coil, unless you want to run the wire directly over the wick, the coil is really too thin to thread when wicking it. (32 gauge works,,, barely, but who really does want around 19-28??? coil winds or more of coil?) For people who dont have time constraints this type of stuff is fine, but if you have time constraints, nope-this type of stuff doesnt work. Non Kanthal wire? nope not me.

The point being, as a practical matter, unless you want to rebuild your coil and wick everytime the wick needs changing, and have time on your hands like spare change- the Aqua and Fogger are subohming devices. <<< I seem to get more or at least as much vape out of my Kayfun and stuff that I currently use, as i do with my Aqua, so I dont really care.

Thats the long of it. The short of it is like you said "The best performance I get out of 0.8 - 0.5 Ohms builds."

or me:--------Aqua and Fogger = Essentially Subohming devices.

If you're really manic about safety you can get the more expensive food grade silicone ones but it really isn't necessary at all.

On the subject of useful information about the Kayfun, are the screws used for airflow control consistent across devices? I know some are hex head set screw and some slot but still set screw style, but I'm thinking more about diameter and pitch.

What happened to the chatter about the cotton pads, don't tell me its because their something the wife would use. Let me tell ya these things are the answer. I was hoping we would collectively find the optimal coil and cut strip size. Right now I'm using a 1.8 ohm 28 gauge 5/65 coil with 5/16: strip of cotton. We can make this a science instead of a stupid voodoo magic artform.

If you're having trouble locating it Amazon has a generic for $8 with free shipping if you are a Prime member.
Been using the kgd pads for a couple weeks and although I really have had awesome results with just regular cotton balls, the pads are much better. Better in flavor and ease

.9 ohm 26 GA chimney coil that I've been playing around with. I think I will try it out at 1.2 ohm so that my vamo can get some use + it won't be so hot with a fresh battery in my nemesis.

Question.. is the Kayfun 3.1 in nano the same size as a KFL in nano mode? I really want to buy a Kayfun with post holes but I prefer the nano size.

It'll be a tad taller. The 3.1 has the juice catchment piece under the deck.

I have a metric thread pitch gage at work. I'll try to get the specs on those screws on Monday, along with the pitch for the filler screw.

If you don't have one of those box style ohm readers, you can try one of these atomizer/tank holders with 510 threads. I got one recently off ebay , its helped a lot for building.
Those are rather expensive. FastTech sells one without threads for $1.25 and I've found that you can cut down cartomizer caps, you use the side part just high enough to fit, and then press fit the atomizer and its not moving. 101 has the threaded ones for $3.
