    Well, I gotta say, just not totally digging the overall performance of the 1.5mm micro in my KFL. It usually works well, but the slightly larger build that was closer to mini size instead of micro always worked well, so going back. Wicking hasn't been 100% consistent with the 1.5mm, especially when taking multiple puffs or taking it out into the cold.

    My next build I'm going to try a gap in the middle of the coil where the air hits. Those types of coils I've heard gunk slower, and I have some gunky liquids lined up for the KFL. Will see how she goes.

    Also got some interdental brushes as advised by Dusty to scrub up the inside of coils. Just a few bucks for 10 of them.

    although I have made a few kayfun coils at 1/16 diameter (1.62mm), most have been a 16g blunt tip needle(1.7mm) this has always performed good but not as consistent as my latest size. I now use a 1.8mm diameter in all my kayfuns which I found on one of those paper clip clamp things. its not a regular paper clip but has a black metal thingy in the middle which holds the paper and 2 metal clampy thingys that you squeeze to open up the black thingy. not sure of the proper term for this type of paper holder but the larger version of this type has a 1.8 mm size. I just cut off some of it and works good. one day I was just searching around the house for something in the 1.8mm range and found this.

    Burp it. Put your finger over the air intake at the base. Draw hard once between vapes. My kayfun makes a burping sound. Nice air bubble comes up. Careful not to do it too much. If you do, juice will rise over the deck and down the air hole, out the air intake on the next vape.

    Its been hard for me to have ID over 1.6mm since I enjoy the quicker heat up n IMO more flavor. Then again I have a .7ohm twist coil.

    maybe its possible that a 1.6 could produce more flavor then a 1.8 but the difference is minute. imo the difference of .2 mm would be barely detectable. as for heat up time, I thought wire gauge and resistance were the determining factors.

    ordered a drop kit. Does anyone know if that chimney top can be used for the nano/micro mtanks?

    +1 my drop kit should be here Saturday. Would like to know if the nano/micro tanks work AND More importantly- where the heck to get one? Found it a couple of places and all out of stock!

    Smaller diameter does make for quicker response time, but the difference is much less than what resistance and gauge make. The difference in diameter as far as heat up time can easily be made up for by a slightly lower resistance.

    As far as flavor between two coils with a fifth a ml in diameter difference.. I highly doubt many would be able to notice which is which based on flavor. Proper wicking I would consider more important.

    Personally I like to do smallest diameter possible while still having a saturated vape during long pulls. From 1.5mm to 1.8mm I can get about the same awesome vape if I'm getting good wicking.

    totally agree on differences in coil diameter. now maybe something a little more noticeable would be the difference between a 1.6 and 2.6 which I never tried anything larger then 2.0 so I don't really know. in general terms I can see how a 1.5 mm coil can heat up quicker then a 1.8 but if both examples were the same gauge and same resistance wouldn't they heat up in the same time? or not really because there is possibly more liquid around the larger diameter coil or more air encompassing the larger coil so it could heat up slightly slower?

    Maybe it has to do with smaller diameter being more compact, feeding off the heat of itself better, like how touching coils heat up quicker than spaced coils. Maybe it's that smaller diameter equals more wraps at the same resistance. Or maybe one of the reasons you guessed. The quicker heat response is noticable with a large difference of diameter on two coils with equal resistance, but a small difference in diameter would be harder to notice. Dropping the resistance by say a tenth of an ohm would equal out the difference.

    i just got this picture from my cnc operator... not delrin, some pyrex type material.View attachment 312825
    woot, i asked if its safe for tank crackers (juice) he said i get to test it out.. Man i guess ill load up some pluid & test away.

    Nice! That would look even better with an m tank!

    Woody, this will look nice on my SOV glass kit when it shows up. I have a nano kit from TR, when they 1st came out. It is nice, but i like the solid 22mm tanks from ultra, also there nano color tanks. The nano tanks, just make the atty shorter, less juice. I like stealth, 2 kayfuns in nano size here.

    Are the drop kit chimneys compatible with ur ultra nano tanks? That's were I plan on ordering mine.


    Bah decided to put on my v2 drip tip and on the 2nd draw got the juice in my mouth again

    Yes that chimney piece will let you use any drip tip, in nano mode. Then rock a 22mm nano hybrid color tank from ultra. They hold more juice, because there is no threaded tank sections.
