I've been collecting Trippy Tips for over 3 years. We had over 150 at one time.
He does make some straight clear glass ones that are more affordable. But good high-end drip tip run $20-$30

Someone posted on here about cutting tails on the ends of the cotton pad wicks. I can tell you this is my best build ever. Its wicking so well I'm at 15 watts and could go higher. I apologize for forgetting the original poster but thanks a lot.
Hey guys. Im a big kayfun fan as well. Just got a lil prob I hope you can help me with. When I put in a fresh battery i tend to get dry hits. Im using kgd cotton.
I've heard about the 'less is more' method so haven't been using too much cotton but I always have to be careful about the first 10ish hits.
Just tried using more but still no joy. Can anyone help? A few picks of your builds would be great. I normally run a build around 1-1.2 ohms

Hi Adee...the solution is VERY simple. We've recently been going through this. When it comes to wicking, less is NOT more! Increase your cotton. The fact of the matter is, MORE is better! Trust me (us).
Have it so you get it to "drag" through your coil just short of having to deform your coil. Cut the wicks long enough so they lay on top of the deck. No problem if you bend the tails as long as it reaches the deck (go the overall width of the Kayfun).
Thanks for the info bronze. The minute the wife and kid go out in the morning im on it!!
i also tried something different with my last build. Instead of 'placing' the wick on the deck i spread/fanned it out. Saw a pic somewhere and thought I'd give it a go. Don't suppose you've tried that method?
I find how you put the wick on the deck to be unimportant. The quantity is what matters most. Just make sure it is sitting on the deck. Think of a string mop. Lower it till it touches the surface then lower it a little more till it squishes out a little. The juice will find the wick. Good luck and report back with your results.
Are you using a microcoil?
Adee, I do that with Rayon, so as to spread out the fibres and allow the juice to run up them. I cut my wicks short enough that they are brushing the deck, soak it, and fan it out.
Adee, here's a pictorial I did awhile back that might be useful.

Check out pbudardos review if the Russian v2.0 he uses a very very simple method to wick. I followed it and built my first micro coil with cotton and got amazing results, not a single dry hit, zero problems
That's fine for rayon but I don't think he's using that?

Apparently it's been working for cotton too. I don't see how, but hey.. I'm on Rayon now, so what do I know?!
Hi all, I'm doing my second ever recoil and wick. I purchased some japanese cotton, going to give it a try.
Couple issues if you all could help me out please..
Having a hard time getting the coils to touch, keep burning them and then pinching with tweezers but always end up a bit apart.
The most important issue I am having is at this point though. I've seen so many different youtube videos and pics on this thread that I'm getting confused. I trim the coil wire off, kind of fluffed the cotton, and then I put the chimney on, tap cotton down gently and drip the wick. I am having issues with not wicking fast enough and or dry hits.
There seems to be so many different ways to do this, maybe I am making it harder on myself, I don't know.

For me, there is only one way to get those wraps glued together... Use a pair of ceramic tweezers and squeeze while the coil is glowing redHi all, I'm doing my second ever recoil and wick. I purchased some japanese cotton, going to give it a try.

You take it apart, what do you see?! Lump of cotton in the juice well and burnt wick under the coil?
Also what is the coil reading at? and what volts/watts are you running at?
Edit: Do me a favour and get me a picture of your juice channels running up to the deck, please!!

Mainly the cotton is lumped, exactly right. I am currently using this build, so far so good, but I'll take a pic and show you what's going on if any issues.
This coil is at 1.3 ohms and I have the zna set to 11.5 watts. Using 28 guage kanthan and vaping 50/50.
By the way, thank you for replying, really appreciate the help all members have shown/given here.
