Hey guys. It's been a while since I've posted here but am happy to report that all is well in Kay Fun Land. Running my original KFL and the Plus exclusively now on 30g wire and cotton. Even though I recoil once a month, I think these things could live on much longer. Anyway, I've been using these two blunt tip syringes for filling and extracting old juice each time I re-wick (every other day). They work great for manipulating the cotton into place and adjusting my coils after I pull out the old cotton. I was wondering if anyone knows of good site to buy them for a decent price. If you ever bought a Zap, they used to come with them. Pretty sure they're 16g. Thanks.
My zap came with an 18g needle. 16g wouldn't fit in the fill hole. I don't use 18g because my juice is 50% vg and takes forever to suck up in an 18g needle. you can buy 14 and 16g needles at onestopdiyshop
I bought all mine from intaste.de yes they are out of stock right now but put your name on the stock notification and they'll send an email as soon as they come back in stock.. last time I did that they were in stock the next morning. The kfl+ and a provari cone cost me $105 shipped and they ship really quick. It comes fedex and needs to be signed for but you can sign on the fedex site and not have to be home when it arrives. They also send out a little goodie bad with extras and a cute key chain screwdriver.
I pretty much always change my wick and burn my coil after each tank. yes it's a bit of a hassle but only takes a few minutes and a trip to the sink. For me it's not the wick that needs changing, it's the coil that needs cleaning. I dry burn, rinse and brush (toothpick brush) my coil after every tank because if I don't... I can taste the stuff on the coil.. a kinda of "straw" "stale" taste. This is the main reason I had to find something other than cartos in tanks... I couldn't clean the coil in a carto and after a day or so, I could taste it so I had to chunk it.
Well, they won't work for juice removal, but for poking, prodding, and wrapping these would be good. Shipping has been slow lately so expect about 3 wks delivery time. $2.61 Stainless Steel Hollowed Needles Disassembly Pins Unit - 8-in-one at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Thanks guys. I was just guessing on the size btw. It must be 18g since it came with the zap. I don't think it's that big of hassle to suck up juice and I use 50/50. I've also used the syringe tip to wrap wire around to create low resistance micro coils. Having that little plastic base at the end works great.
I'm doing about the same. My tanks only hold a little over 1ml and I'm changing after 3 or 4 refills. I add vanilla and caramel to everything and they're notorious coil gunkers. If vapor production goes down, I really can't tell it. Just a hint of that off taste.
I'm reminded of a picture I seen a while back, and I really wish I had bookmarked it. Grud was an inch thick on that coil. I'm sitting here grinnin' just thinking about it lol. I should have bookmarked it.

Hi Donnah - can just clarify which device you were referring to the 16g not fitting in the fill hole (Zap or KFL)?
Thanks again
The zap that I had.. it came with an 18g needle. I was using 16g on my other stuff and it wouldn't fit in the fill hole of the zap. 16g fits in the kfl, that's what I use to fill it unless I pour it in from the top.
I am a noob with RBAs and need to order supplies to start coiling and configs a KFL.
What would be the recommended stuff to order Kanthal (what awg/mm), Mesh?, Steel Rope? And Ekowool (2mm, 2.5mm? Etc), Silica? (Size mm), cotton (where to get this from?)
I am hoping to try out as many configs as a noob can and would like to order supplies together.
I want to try MicroCoils and Cotton as soon as i am ok with making coils no point wasting time!
Any help would be appreciated, going to order before midnight tonight (UK)

You may as well just start with the easiest and best setup.

Kanthal A1 Wire 28 Gauge 100 ft 0 61oz Resistance Resistor AWG A 1 | eBay
Sterile rolled cotton
CVS Rolled Cotton - CVS pharmacy
Drill bit sized to your choice. I use a 5/64th for my coils.

Zero - If you are setting up a Kayfun then don't bother with SS mesh, Cables or ecowool. All you need is a good variety of coil material to play with and organic cotton balls which you can buy at your local drug store.
The most commonly used coil wire is 28 ga and 30 ga. And you'll need something to wrap the coil around. I use one of my wifes giant needles that measures .062" (1.57mm) If you already have 18 ga blunt tip needle you can use those or anything else that is about 1.5mm dia.
There are tons of videos and topics about kayfun set ups. This thread is full of great info.

Making microcoils is easier than making traditional coils. I agree...don't waste your time. Start with microcoils. Go to You Tube and bone up on your microcoiling skills. Don't know where Vapedivers went. The standard microcoil.

Here's a thread I made for ECFers to post their micro coil video guides. Lot's of great vids, including a couple by vapdvrr. I'm pretty sure one of his was specific to the Kayfun too.. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=472178
I agree about micros being easier than standard coils, takes a lot of the guesswork out and it's easy to get repeatable results.
I should have remembered your thread, Jerms. I'm still subscribed to it.
I made it and I still forget about it lol. Our folks here at ECF really do have the best micro coil vids IMO.
