Kayfun LITE

[vapdivrr]

AndriaD, in my findings with cotton and most probably most other likes is that when you usually get a burnt taste chances are its not enough material or improper wick placement. Now oppositely With too much wick there usually is a weird taste, like the cotton itself, some say it tastes like a dirty t shirt. That has been my experiences anyways. Anyways I'm glad the rayon is working out well for you, it does seem more forgiven for sure

I'm sure this has probably been discussed before, but I haven't found it. When I open my KFL+ to re-wick or re-coil, I find that the chimney cap has worked itself loose 3 or 4 turns. Is this normal?

Yes happened to me once or twice- I think it's from not tightening it all the way and the top turning it loose when you take the top off.
It happens to my black edition; has yet to happen to my ehpro or authentic.

I suspect the O-ring in the top cap that seals the chimney top is seizing the chimney and unscrewing it as the top cap is unscrewed. I've found that lubricating that O-ring with some e-juice before putting the cap on solves the problem.

No, that is not normal! The K'funs are so designed, milled and machined that once put together nothing moves anywhere. In my nearly two years of K'fun use I have never found this situation with any of my K'funs.

Ps: Can be done by mistake tho while opening the top-cap inadvertently unscrewing up the chimney tube as well, like Scott opined above

I guess that's possible. Mine is the authentic.

I didn't think so! I don't think it's the top cap as I hardly ever unscrew it. Usually the top three sections (tip through plastic tank) stay together when I'm re-wicking/coiling. Thanks.

That happens on mine when using my SOV custom top cap on it. The oring he gave with it is tight as heck. Sometimes the chimney top comes off with the top cap.

I can see that happening. I always lube the chimney before capping it off.

You lube the chimney? Wouldn't you then get lube in your juice?
Or do you lube it with juice?

For me personally, I did have to use twice as much as cotton. initially I used just a tad bit more then cotton and after an hour I started to hear that "sizzle after letting go of the fire button sound". soon after dry hits. When I opened it up the wick looked whimpy and had sagged. This rayon doesn't swell like cotton, it actually remains the same size or actually matts some. After increasing the amounts next, it worked great. Tbh I don't think the results would be good in a kayfun if one used the same amount of rayon as cotton.

Here I am still learning stuff I should have already known (from vapdivrr), that "sizzle" after releasing the fire button part was very enlightening.
Some of my rayon wicks are working fantastic so I know that the ones that aren't are probably due to errors of my build.
I think rayon is a good choice but I had to return a couple of my devices back to their original wicking till I get back to it. (probably tomorrow)

coat it with juice is enough

I will call it extended afterburn. With even the best builds the afterburn does happen to a degree but only minimally. When I hear this afterburn louder and for a longer time I know somethings not right, soon after most of the time dry hits will occur. so with my initial kayfun set up I can tell by sound if I have enough wicking material. As for too much wick material, that one needs a taste test. It only takes I to 2 vapes for me to know if I have too much, if I do the vape will have a weird taste to it, this taste won't go away no matter what and I instantly re do the set up. So for me initially I am looking for great taste from my set up with as little afterburn as possible.

Little help here please. I bought a EHPRO KFL+ V2 using the clear tank. I have washed it twice, recoiled it twice with different gauges wraps etc. used two different juices. The problem is the vape is flavorless and dusty chalky essence for the most part. I am hoping someone here can make some suggestions as to why it might be doing this. I have a Tobeco KF 3.1 that works great, not a leak or anything, great taste and smooth threading etc.

I have heard good things about the EHPRO so I am hopping this is easily remedied.

TIA

I don't own any clones so really cannot comment because some have been known to have flaws. Some of these range from undersized channels to air blockage. first I would check the atty to make sure it's not the device and airflow is maybe a start. are you sure sufficient airflow is reaching coil? if this checks out a 100 percent then check channel sizes. After this is proper seal of the device which is making sure the plastic threads are all seated correctly and all o-rings are in place and are in good condition. another issue about airflow is proper adjustment to the afs. Once or if this all checks out then go after the build. Usually a flavorless taste is due to to much cotton stuffed into coil or wick tails blocking juice flow

Had that same problem with mine. I only wicked it once tho, I attributed it to a wicking problem, whatever the case I suspect that it might need less wicking then my 3.1 or lite plus. chalk taste does describe it.

This is can be the case with new products, they have to work the knots out of them to get them just right, but other people speak highly of that eh pro unit, try a little more cotton, maybe a little less. <<<< and let me know the results. And listen to Vapdivrr, that dude knows his coils.

I aint gonna fuss with mine right now, I got these new Lite plus's in and I ordered 5 more of them. these new ones I got in are monsters, right up there in vape with my 3.1 full russians.

I also just ordered the new little kayfun 2.1.

 

[AmandaD]

I have the same one, and got zero taste until I got the wicking right. Turns out I had too much rayon - boom, suddenly it was amazing once I fiddled about 50 times with it LOL Oh, also I did go back to the metal tank with the clear section in the middle - I have a feeling the clear tank wasn't sealing properly.

Interesting; I have an authentic, a black edition and the ehproV2; I find the ehproV2 to be the nicer of the three.
I'm inclined to think the problem may be the wicking. That seems to be the trickiest part for all the kfls.with cotton you wan less wicking than you would think as cotton expands. You want it to just touch the floor of the chamber and not block the juice channels. Could you maybe have eh cotton inadvertently in the way of the airflow in the chamber causing you to just not ignite the juice properly? I would pull the coil up about 1/16 inch above the airhole and rewick it with a rad less cotton.

Is there more than one nano sized tube? I ordered a Tobecco KFL a while back on ebay and picked up a nano drop kit as well, and recently I ordered a HCIGAR KFL that included a HCIGAR 'specific' nano kit. The HCigar nano kit's metal top and bottom ring seems to be slightly larger than the 'normal' nano kit, and also included a shorter top cap. Overall, it is about the same size in height as the 'normal' nano, but seems to hold more liquid because of the larger rings. I think I prefer the smaller nano but I do like the shorter top cap.

My Tobecco KFL looks like the bottom. I've watched all the videos on micro coils and I built it with 5/64" 8 to 10 wraps 2 ohms + cotton wick. On my sixth try and I still get cotton taste on the exhale. The taste is very poor on the exhale vs my Aerotank. The intake is surprising very nice but I guess for some reason the cotton can't wick fast enough for the exhale.

I'm done for now, ordered some Rayon if that doesn't work then I'm sticking to the aerotank, so far its superior in every way except the cost of coils/heads.
