Yea I contacted kidney puncher to see if I can just return it and give them ten more dollars for the hcigar 3.1. I'm almost emptied a tank and when I do I'll try and send pics so ppl can see what I'm doing wrong here. Hopefully it's not too hard to post the pics lol image.jpg

Sorry, I do not have a camera handy. Found this on Google but think it's from ECF. Gives a pretty good idea of what the wick looks like without the evap chamber on. You want the wick gently laying across the juice channel, but not actually pressed down in it. You'll get a feel for how much to push to get it the way you want.

That was mine, one of my first builds.

I pretty much still do it the same. Except now I put the evap chamber on with the cotton ends sticking up, trim a little above the chamber, and just poke the ends down. I don't worry about making clearance for the channels. I also don't wet the wick first, just poke the dry ends down so they are laying in there.

Whether the channels are clear or not I get the same results, perfect wicking until the tanks empty. My Kayfun Lite isn't finicky or picky at all.

So i figured I dont need another backup kayfun for now. Guess I can be patient til vaperev or intaste gets another stock since I dont need it right this instant. I only use my GP paps v3 exclusively and pretty much my PB stingray has been being used by my g/f only at home. I wouldnt need another KFL+ til i get a 2nd paps anyways.

I wonder when the Kayfun 4 comes out... im thinking prob not til fall. If it was anytime soon id just wait for that lol.

Thanks for speaking up, Jerms..... I felt funny not being able to credit the owner.
Your pic is what I modeled my first wick after. I now do make it more of an "L" like LR suggested with it a little longer and blunt ends, but the principle is sure the same.

Haven't wetted my wicks yet. I was sticking them out the chimney an trimming them but this time to again try a new method (of the millions of others I epically failed at lol) I'll try yet again something new.

To me, your coil is upside down. I mount it with it still on the mandrel. Lots easier to install and use the mandrel to adjust the height.

Bad ipad drawings, but you get the idea...

I'm pretty sure it's not upside down maybe just looks like that in the pic. I dont know I'm in the car now and will have to check later lol I'll be so mad for not wearing my glasses as told to but maybe it's luck but I haven't had a dry hit yet on this new tank but only like three vapes in lol. I do notice no matter what I only get a bubble one one side and not both is that normal. There is two air holes lol. And this time I filled it up with a finger on the mouth hole and air hole so fingers crossed. It still whistles though and I get the vapor of an old evod coil lol maybe less but I can taste my juice with out a dry hit yet so better than nothing

2.0 ohm on that coil by the way. Does the coil being upside down mean no bueno? Lol. I think it is now that I keep thinking about it but it glows middle to end and no hot legs or hot spots

Yeah it's upside down. Most people have the legs under the coil when installing instead of over the top. As long as it works though, you're fine. Next time just try having the legs on the bottom, will make it eaiser to install too.

Yea I looked in my phones photo album and was able to zoom in better and it is upside down lol that's a first for me but I remember dropping the drill bit when doing so and the rest is history lol. I just can't figure this kayfun out no matter what I do. I started getting a dry hit again and primed it so hard it sounded like it was flooding on my next hit but I vaped through it and now it seems to have lost it's whistle ( I'll miss it til it comes back lmafo) and it is kinda silent when I hit it. Something happened in there when it flooded cuz it's a way diff vape and for now too much vapor. So lol i dont know but I'm sure this will last another root or two than back to the drawing board
