Kayfun LITE

Agreed on the coil height 1-2 mm off the deck.

As to your fill, and the leaking. Double check all your orings. Especially the one in the top cap at the chimney.

Thanks all. This tank is disappearing at an alarming rate so I'll adjust the coil height. This really is a fine device

From what I understand, the mini is the full kit which comes with an extra, longer chimney giving you the ability to us it in extended length mode for 5ish ml capacity. Would look good on a pipe.

Yeah, I think the mini was made to look good on an ego style battery. It's thinner so that's why they call it a mini. But it has large capacity because i is very tall.

jmeek, you'll get more intense flavor with the coil closer to the airhole indeed.

Hey Blix. Been wondering where you were.

Science of vaping nano tank, with FastTech clear chimney and chamber!

Twisted 0.25 mm kantal on on a 2 mm drill bit @ 1 ohm. for now it's better than standard microcoil

I use a twisted ribbon coil and also find it slightly better then a standard micro.

Vapdivrr it should be here tomorrow...I got CVS sterile cotton balls..... and a brand new pair of scissors!!!!! Wanted to have at it with the yarn as well...My local WM only had Peaches and Cream...It's white and I believe Sugar and Cream to be a different brand...I checked a few threads and it seems to be OK...

All my coils so far have been 1/8 on my DID....As far as wicking....Cotton or yarn will be waaaayyyyy easier than SS mesh...Heck how about grinding down a ceramic aquarium air stone....No matter what wick they simply had to be tilted for good vapor...I'm going for the 16 wicks from a cotton ball first off...Even picked a magnifying lamp too QC with...It will be a happy day to see the micro glow...

the DID is a great atty and still one of my fav's. although I used ceramic exclusively for a while(before micro's) I never made them myself, I used the fc-2000. but yes the kayfun has a lot of advantages over a genny imo. for one, I do believe (now with using hemp) the flavor in my kayfun is slightly better then my gennys. maybe its just because im used to the flavor of them now, recently I got back my dna mod and decided to hook up a genny on it, I used the exact juice as the kayfun. I vaped them side by side and preferred the kayfun's flavor. also a micro coil satisfies me more, maybe its the nic delivery, or just a more intense vape but the genny wasn't as intense and didn't have the TH as a micro. also the juice in the kayfun stays fresher much longer then in a genny. no leaking in a kayfun compared to a genny. no possible shorts in the kayfun compared to a mesh wick. all in all I just find the kayfun or like devices better then a genny. now as for flavor of a genny set up with ceramic? I still find that to be slightly better but with all other advantages going to the kayfun, its an overall better device. the only down fall to micro coils is I cant see them, so like you said, I need a jewelers mag lamp to work on them.

I got my KFL+ all dressed up with her nano kit & hybrid kit from Rampage. I don't have the short chimney, so only a couple of my drip tips fit... Beside a mini Provari in 18490 mode for comparison.

Hi everyone! Just got a KFL+ and ran a coil and wicked it. Wanted to know your thoughts.

Does this look right?

Hey man, if it's working well for you and it's giving you the vape you want, I'd say that's one mighty fine looking coil right there. The micro coils pictured on this thread, while nice indeed, can't claim to be better than yours if you're happy with it.

Only reason I personally build 28 gauge kanthal micro coils with cotton is they're so sturdy when it comes to re-wicking, dry burning, and cleaning. Took some practice for me but the reward was worth it in the long run.

The Kayfun's are easily the best rebuildables on the market... they're the only attys besides a few drippers I like that I would consider ordering multiples.

I am looking at the Kayfun Mini 2.1 at the moment... I just don't understand why the mini is $165 and the lite is $99. Does the (admittedly nifty) fill valve from the 3.1 really cost 67 bucks to add on?

that fill valve is awesome, the mini is a great atty. I don't have a kayfun lite because I love the fill valve so I got the 3.1es. the top of the line full sized kayfun with the fill valve and adjustable airflow and a small overflow reservoir that can be replaced with a hybrid adapter. svoemestos top of the line stuff is sweet, I couldn't imagine having to unscrew the atty each time I wanted to add juice. the fill valve is worth the $$ to me. they never made a lite version of there mini but I'd say it's worth the $$ for the mini with the fill valve anyway the fill valve is why I wouldn't buy a clone, svoemesto's fill valve is awesome, wish all my mods had a fill valve like this

I've got 7*, lol!

2 Kayfun lites, 1 Kayfun 3.1, 3 Kayfun lite plus, and 1 Russian. I'm going to the poor house, I tell you!

*Will be 8 total, soon. I have 1 more coming to grace my Templar when it gets here.

My wife saw the pile of Kayfuns, Krakens, and Aquas that I was preparing to clean and was like, "You've got a grand tied up in those things!". I decided that then was not the time to mention that they all live on mods which costed even more.

Kayfuns are just that good!

I really should get into clones. It's getting ridiculous around here.

So, I'd just like to say that I've had a bit of a revelation with my KFL+/R91 this morning. It's something that probably shouldn't be a revelation and something I'm sure many of you were aware of already.

I've been vaping away happily on both my Russian and KFL+ now for a few months. I swear to God, for whatever reason it's been seared into my mind that you want to keep the wick (in my case cotton) clear of the eliquid channels. So that's what I've been doing, making sure that before I screw on the top of the chimney I can see the channels. It's never been a "problem". The device always seemed to be wicking fine and was giving me a better vape than I would have expected from anything other than a dripper. Consistent build of a 28 gauge, 7 wrap microcoil (3/32 or 2.4 mm ID) clocking in right around 1.3 ohms. Running it on a ProVari @ 3.5-3.7v.

But, for whatever reason recently, I've been feeling like there was something missing. No, I haven't been getting dry hits or even what I would consider dry-ish hits. However, I just kept feeling like I could do a little better. So I swallowed my pride and went back and read through a couple threads. I even went back and watched PBusardo's KFL/R91 video....and that's when it really hit me. At some point, for some reason, it got stuck in my head that "don't block the eliquid channels" meant "keep the eliquid channels clear.

So I just built a fresh coil, same stats as always (1.29 ohms). Wicked it with organic cotton ball, but trimmed the wick just a tiny bit longer than usual. I made sure that the ends of my wick were just covering the eliquid channels, not stuffed against them, just ON them.

Basically within the first handful of vapes, it hit me..... THIS is what a "fully saturated" vape is! Same great flavor, maybe slightly better. Sligltly more vapor, but a significantly "wetter" vape. It's simply more satisfying.

I feel so dumb writing this because for most of you I'm just stating the obvious. But for anyone else who has gotten it in their head to keep the wicking "clear" of the eliquid channels, you are really missing out on the full experience these devices offer. Yes, don't "block the channels by stuffing the wick against or into them, but DO position the ends of your wick so that they are ON them. I mean, this thing just keeps wicking and wicking and wicking now.

I can't believe I've been so ignorant to this simple thing.

I put the chimney on, grab a flat tip screwdriver and stuff the wick down the sides without any regard to where it's going. Never had a bit of trouble.
