Kayfun LITE

Heh heh. And then there are times when a little more cotton works better.

Twisted 32ga chimney coil

Currently have a clone and a kfl v2 with this build. One with 100% VG (Boba's bounty) and one with 50/50. No flooding, no dry hits at all. And that's even at 1.3ohms and 4.2V.

I still need to try a vert. What drill bit fits?

The 1/16 is perfect, since it's almost identical to the diameter of the airhole.

If you are free, you can check out http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...double-32ga-kanthal-vertical-coil-kayfun.html. Just a little pictorial on getting it set up

Gotcha. Thanks. I'll give it a go with just 28g.

Lol I did. But damned wires got waaaaaaay too fat and the resistance was far too low. Coiling more rounds to make up for it ended up giving me the longest heat up time ever. So. Yeah. Stuck on 32 I am. I'm not a sub-ohm kinda guy unfortunately

What resistance did that coil come out to?

I've had trouble with Boba's in my KFL V2. I would love to find a setup that can handle it. This might be worth a shot. I tried that link you provided with the pictorial, but Tapatalk said it was invalid (probly just tapatalk). Is that what you referenced for your build?

Im afraid if i did this ''chimney'' wick,i would get tons of juice down the hole.

I think if you place the coil directly on the deck then it'd be alright. Think of how a carto is built. Its just like that really.

As long as u dont get the wick under the coil between the deck n coil you'll be fine.

whoops. try this: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...double-32ga-kanthal-vertical-coil-kayfun.html (same link, but posted on browser). Tapatalk's awful at following URLs

Nopes. Hasn't happened to me. if you look at the pictorial in the link, you'll see that my little secret is just to leave the drill bit in during the wicking process; prevents congestion of the airhole as well as the wick leaking juice into the air hole. I've tried it with a 70PG30VG liquid and I don't get leaks or floods either

I def wouldn't recommend it. as a general rule of thumb for rebuilding, there should only be 2 metal parts in contact with a coil, and they are the 2 leads. having the coil sit directly ON the deck can lead to all kinda issues, such as varying resistance. And I can almost guarantee you'll either experience:
1) uber long heating time because the positive block is conducting heat away from the coil
2) if you're patient enough and the coil does heat up, you'll melt the insulator. (i speak from painful experience hhahahhahaha)

 

[finagle69]

Yeah you're right about that. Guess sit should be raised just a smidgeon from the deck/airhole.

Not trying to argue, but I would swear I saw a Rip vid where he showed the chimney coil and had it sitting right on the air hole. As long as one is careful about the neg lead it looked like it would work. I do remember thinking it was sort of playing with trouble doing that. Also wonder if it made that great of a difference sitting directly on the air hole vs being elevated a bit.

Go Blue!!

It wasn't sitting right on the deck. He had clearance from the coil n deck. Touching the deck will cause shorts.

Has anyone used the top chimney cap from their drop kit on a nano tank from ultra vape? I have the smoked one but I can't tell if its making a complete seal.

at the 19:27 mark of the video, you'll see him lifting the coil off the deck



I'm not sure, but I've had it sit on my deck once, and I ended up with a half molten insulator. once bitten, twice shy. I never dared to try it again

UPDATE:

My 5th refill and wick/coil fiddling and man,i will tell ya all when this beast is workin proper its AMAZINMG.Did a fill 3 hours ago and no leaks or gurggling.After i filled it from the bottom i covered the air hole first and then tiltled upright,dont know if this plays apart in the vacum air pressure but so far im happy,again.I alos notice after every hit,a bubble appears in the bottom of my tank and floats to the top,a good sign i think.

I've noticed the kfl+v2 is more readily available then say the first batch of kfl+.

Either svoemesto is pumping these out or most of the world has gotten their kayfun share lol.
