I finally built a new coil today using a 5/64" drill bit with 30 ga wire, I tried 9 wraps, and got a 2 ohm coil, which is perfect for me. I did try some 2mm silica first, it just was too loose, so I tried 1mm eko wool doubled up and it fit in nicely, not to tight, not to loose. I seem to have the same problem with the silica type wick, that many have had with it wicking correctly, so I just pulled it out and put cotton back in, and it works great. I could have kept using my old coil, but I wanted to try the 30 ga wire. I guess I just wont worry about the silica wick, for now sense the cotton works so good, and its not hard to do. 
Im just loving my Kayfun lite and was wondering if anyone can give me some tips. So far Ive tried the micro coil set up with cotton. It was sent to me with 24 gauge kanthal coils and cotton which was amazing. Of course being a heavy vaper I gunked up the coils and had to remove the cotton and dry burn. I dont have cotton for proper vaping use, so I set it up with the only ekowool I had at the time which was 1mm hollow ekowool and 30 gauge kanthal, first try was horrible, I blocked the air and ......
Second build I got the length right and it going great, a bit , just a tad gurgly, but not flooding. I think the wicks are on the thin side. So now I did get some 2mm ekowool and was going to try a different set up. I threaded some Ekowool that has come unbraided but not flaky thru the microcoil and it has some slippage, similar to when you use cotton. I will cut off the length to make sure they fit but not clog.
Has anyone done this? My tank is almost empty and will try it out. Was just interested if this has been done with good results.
I hope Im not headed for disaster, but heck everything we do now was a potential disaster till someone tried it.

About 2 years ago, before I started vaping, I started saving the cotton balls, that you get in some pill bottles, I don't know why I started doing that, but after I got my Kayfun LT, I realized what I could use them for, so I just boiled them a few times, and that is what I use now.
thats good to know, I was thinking of using up all my pill bottle cotton, but thought what if the chemicals from the drugs might be a problem, but doh, forgot about the boiling.
I will look for some cotton right now. I will try the wick with the fluffy ekowool and if its a no go, I will have some cotton.
thanks for the suggestion.
LOL, saving cotton for no apparent reason, maybe you have some "hamster" in you

No problem, I have been doing that for a few weeks now.

I am happy to report that I made it home from my camping trip with no burnt fingers this time! It's lots of fun rewicking a kayfun in a popup camper 
I made a trade on the classys and met the fellow at the campground to pick up his fogger. what a great time I had talking to a fellow vaper! I also visited a couple vape shops. Asheville Vapor is nice, the guy was very nice. They had some nice mods at the typical huge B&M prices. I also visited Dark City Vapor in Blackmountain (NC) I have been making my own juices for um..2 years now and this is the first time I've bought juice... his banana pudding is awesome! Tastes just like taking a bite of banana pudding! The cake batter was very good also. I bought some of the banana pudding. .50 per ml which is a good price for store bought juice. He also carries the Fogger V2 for an unheard of B&M price of $30!
So if anyone is up in Western North Carolina and in the Asheville area..be sure to visit them. They're in the process of making a vape lounge.

About $3 at CVS, should last a very loooog time. You might be finding Rayon in those pill bottles, not to worry though it's a good for wicks too.thats good to know, I was thinking of using up all my pill bottle cotton, but thought what if the chemicals from the drugs might be a problem, but doh, forgot about the boiling.

Are there glass replacement tanks for the Kayfun? I'm holding off on one, as from what I read, it has a plastic tank that will crack with crackin' juices.
No glass comes stock, but you can always run the SS middle section to avoid damages from tank killers.
Ah, cool. I was looking at the fasttech stocked clone to keep the price down and I hadn't seen a SS middle section; just a removable acrylic section.

I couldn't confirm anything about the clones, nor if they come with the SS middle section. GL.

$21.37 SvoeMesto Kayfun v3.1 ES Styled Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5mL) - stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping is the one I was looking at. I think it looks a lot better than the Rocket one
FYI..that is not a "clone", it is a "counterfeit". Folks are getting confused these days with verbage, and what constitutes a clone vs a counterfeit. The Russian 91% would be classified as a clone, since it bears it's own markings and design changes. The ones carried at FastTech are counterfeits, because they bear the original markings of the manufacturer and are exact copies of the original designs.
i've dropped my KFL numerous times at work. it's scratched, chipped and generally beat up but, the little sucker just keeps on vaping! tough bloody device!
As I've found out multiple times, lightly "hammering" it back into position is the best way to get it straight. I almost took pliers to it the first time but cooler heads here prevailed!
28 or 30 for cotton micros? I'm still undecided.
