Well, by increasing watt capacity, it's kind of assumed it will take coils to a lower resistance unless I'm not understanding what you're saying.

That exactly Ma'am! I couldn't go beyond 12W till now. Anything higher and the vape tastes wonky (burnt, muted, whatever). I too don't think I'd ever need 20 either, forget the 30
But got them for their 'looks' and a surefire performance. And whatta performer the WAE-II is! Besides being a head turner. Drop dead gorgeous!
Well not necessarily. The chip could boost the voltage up. You could always achieve 30watts on a 3ohm coil if you wished to
Although an important point about the DNA: it cannot buckle down voltage. The lowest voltage it can go is the voltage on the battery at the point in time. Which means that with a fresh battery and 0.5 ohm coil, you are forced to go around the region of 22watts. Another reason why I can't wait to sell mine off once I'm back in the states.

Hmmm, would I have an immediate market for a DNA-40?
Lol trust Akdare. She's the authority on kayfun orings. Yes, an important position.

I learned where you are about a week ago.
I don't distrust... I just don't speak metric, so any size I might *assume* is right is nothing but pure speculation. Thought it better to double-check before placing the order.

Yes, Andria...the 1x2mm orings are the tiny ones for the fill port. All things vape are metric.
Thanks! The msg I sent to the vendor has bourne fruit; he responded that they didn't sell that type of accessories, but he knows I just got it a few wks ago, so he said he'd send me a few extras they have laying around. Such a nice guy, the eBay store is called IronVapin; I got my first [Tobeco] KFL+ from them for $32.95, and it's really excellent in all respects -- except this silly o-ring! -- and the vendor has really gone above and beyond; the allen thingie for adjusting the airflow that came with the kit didn't fit, it needs a 1mm allen thing, and the one in the kit seemed to be 1.5mm, and when I asked him about it, he sent me one right away that fits perfectly. Totally happy with them; next hardware I buy, I'll be checking their store first.
But I appreciate the link to buy them; if I keep going thru them this fast, I'll undoubtedly need it!

In other news, chanced upon a YouTube channel called Cloud5. Fella owns a vape shop, and also "specializes" in performing simple drilling mods to attys, particular in terms of enlarging air flow channels and the likes.
Now I'm not a cloud chaser at all and don't care for it, but crips! The vapor production from his modded kayfun borders on ridiculous, even when compared to drippers

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted suggestions, figured it out tho I wasn't using enough cotton in my builds, got to messing around with my Aqua and realized I wasn't using enough cotton to keep it from leaking... Changed the amount and got it working great. Got bored with my aqua and figured I'd give the Kayfun another shot with my new knowledge on cotton wicks, and rather than running the cotton along the back wall I cut it a lil bit shorter so it just barely touches the deck. Also raised my coil up a bit, I used to try to keep it as close to the air hole as possible (Always figured less vertical distance the juice has to travel the better) but read something in another thread about it being too close might cause the coil to heat unevenly (since only one spot really gets airflow)... Not sure which one fixed it but between the three it's working great. Gone through about half a tank now without any gurgling or a single dry hit even chain vaping trying to get one. I was about to give up on it and throw it on the classifieds too xD Glad I gave it another shot.
For the record, I use 70+vg/30-pg juice (Depends on how I felt like mixing it that day) and have the air-flow screw completely removed... Was gonna give up on it since someone suggested tightening the airflow and I don't like how tight it is with the screw removed already >.<

Well, as if the extra-tight draw wasn't a bad enough problem with that cheapie kayfun lite clone I just got, now I discover that it leaks. I'm not sure where it's leaking from, though. I had it attached to one of my iTaste vv3s, so I was using a flared ego cone under it, to give a better looking line, and the leaked juice was all over the top of that cone, but I don't see any down in the 510 well. This one doesn't have airflow control, so it's not from that; I suspect it might be leaking from the fill screw, from the total lack of juice in the 510 well, around the battery post, but a good bit of it on the top of the flared cone.
Has anyone else seen this with these cheap kayfun lite clones, and if so, any ideas on how I might get it to stop doing that?
I had already decided that this one would be a "backup" kayfun, since the tobeco KFL+ is so much better and also not very expensive, so it looks like I need to go ahead and get another of those tobeco KFL+ clones.
thx!

Probably is leaking from the screw. Try a couple of wraps of dental floss around the screw and let us know.
Its either leaking from the fill screw, a bad seal on the tank or the air hole. I would take it apart and put it back together and try again to see where its leaking from.
I haven't had that happen; and I don't have that clone; but, I would take it apart clean it really well, full it with water and just hold it upright to see where it's leaking from.
My best guess would be from either the fill hole or perhaps where one of the tank sections meet.
They do sell complete o-ring kits for the kfls on fast tech and eBay, I believe 101vape and a-ciggetty has them also. I did notice my V2 and Black both have o-rings on the fill hole, my authentic V1 didn't come with one, I took the extra one that came with my ehpro and put it in the authentic- insurance!
Ok... I had to disassemble this one anyway, to make a new coil+wick to work on that extra-tight draw problem -- got some tips in the thread about 'show your working wick & coil'. Now it's got a "macro" (non-compressed) 30ga 7/64 1.8Ω coil, and the ends of the wick, I cut on the diagonal, so not so much wick laying on the deck in the chamber, and, I raised up the coil a bit more than I had been doing, and those steps (macro coil, diagonal-cut wick ends, raised up coil) *seems* to have successfully addressed the tight-draw problem, so maybe the wick won't burn so quickly as it was doing before. It's still a tighter draw than the KFL+ even with the KFL+ airflow completely closed, but it doesn't feel odd, like it's blocked, as it did before, so I'll have to see how it does.
I did get an extra o-ring for the fill screw for my KFL+, but I'm already using it, since the first one shredded in 3 wks -- the vendor said he was sending me some extras they had laying around, so I should have those in a day or two, and I'll definitely try one of those; meanwhile I'll just keep my eye on it, see if it does the leaking again -- I found it this morning after it had been sitting all evening and all night, so it had a good while to do the leaking.
And of course, I recognize the truth of "you get what you pay for," it's just that I don't have an unlimited budget, so I have to get what I can afford. I was just really really REALLY tired of those little T3S tanks and their constant burnt taste, gurgling, leaking, etc etc etc, especially once I learned to build coils. I found another tobeco KFL+ on ebay that had just been listed for bids, so maybe I'll luck out and get another decent clone for a pretty decent price.

I'm loving my Kayfun clone from Fasttech. Best of all my Kayfun clones.
Posted it elsewhere thought of sharing it here as well...
This is coming to Papa
