Hey T,

Your one ohm KFL on a Mech would have resulted in a 16+ watt config. The Kayfun has been unofficially said to perform well upto around 15 watts, that too if everything with the wick/coil combo is setup perfectly. In it's stock config, I don't think it has the capability to perform well in that configuration. Folks have widened their juice intake slots and or air intake in order to boost performance.

My go-to setup on my KFL+ and clones is around .8-.9ish ohms using the Mundy's Magic, pure cotton and a mech. I find the flavor to be outstanding, but I'm generally vaping sweeter flavors. I haven't tried any tobacco juices in a KFL yet.


Master of Bassets...and not much else.

But I've been vaping comfortable on a .78 ohm coil at 22-25watts.

Curious, what diameter are you wrapping your coils around?

I'm always at 1/16, and I find that if I chain vape, the vapor gets thinner and I can taste it approaching a burnt taste at maybe my 8th long drag.

My guess is that my wicking can't keep up when the id is 1/16, but I wanna be sure before I drag my lazy ... out to Home Depot to other sized drill bits :D

If you tighten the AFC, it should pull more juice to the coil...try just a quarter turn tighter.

If you're getting your kayfun to wick that well to be able to vape at 22~25 watts I don't think you need to get a Rose v2 then, but for me I found the kayfun a pretty harsh vape without enough air flow and the wicking wasn't good enough for me.

Just watched the build video. Not sure I'm fan of it. You gotta slot the leads through the ceramic cup, and align and slot the leads through these 2 metal holes at the base. Knowing my stubby clumsy fingers I could never do it. :(

Actually bro the Rose v2 was very easy to set up it was only complicated the first build because there was so many pieces and it was new just like the kayfun was the first time I build it, I find the Rose just as easy to rebuild as the kayfun.

    Weird I have 4 different kayfun clones. All built the same way. One of them gives me issues when I refill from bottom screw. Does not want to wick on its own. Easy fix is cracking open the top cap and watching air bubbles come to the top to get it started. Its just one of them that gives me issues. I have rebuilt it numerous times and same results till it starts working on its own

    I found some pics on a forum of the Rose being pushed to it's limits :ohmy:

    View attachment 328603View attachment 328604

    Is that 18g wire? Lol...
    I'll never go below 0.25 on any device. I'm weird like that.
    Could chasing is fun sometimes, who can argue that? The problem is I am a flavor junkie at heart,
    and chasing clouds always results in me modifying my juice recipes for more vapor.
    Losing the flavor profile and fine nuances/balances that I worked so hard to get just make
    me go grab a Kayfun that much quicker...

    I've read some good things about the Rose, but I'm a die-hard Kayfun guy myself.
    I personally don't think either device can shine on a 0.1 ohm build lol,
    but I would love to see what that tastes like...
