Kayfun/ Russian 91% coil build recommendations.....

[Juggernaut666]

So the kayfun builds are no sweat, the Russian for some reason took me a little but to get down but I got it. The Kayfun is on the wifes Stingray, My Kayfun is down and out till I find an o-ring for it. anyways.

I'm using the Russian on an AR and the flavor is there, using 28 guage kanthal 4/5 wrap, fluke metered it out at .7 but It's a hot vape and not alot of of vapor, my nautilus on the wifes Provari, puts out a TON more vapor. but I also have the air hole on the nautilus drilled out to 1/8"

anyone got any tried and true recommendations for for a nice warm (not hot) vape, with a nice flavor and plenty of vapor for both the Kayfun and Russian? ( iknow essentially the same but everyone has their preferrences.

you are not going to get BIG clouds with the 91, there for flavor. I have one, 1.3 ohms at 13.5 watts, 4.2V and get good vapor and flavor

Neither is a cloud machine, not designed to be.

IMO you want more surface area. I tend to build my KFs to around 1.4 to 1.8, rayon wick. Turns to suit the gauge kanthal.

Possible your Coil is to close to the air hole and/or to much wick material. Both can cause poor production. No, kayfun/Russian is no cloud chaser. However they will produce decent vapor and should be giving excellent flavor if built right.

I run all my Kayfuns 1.3-1.7ohms

Assuming the AR is a full Mechanical(not familiar) give a 1.2-1.4ohm build a try. Allow a few mm under the coil for air to wrap around the coil easily.

Go with a thicker wire and longer coil for more surface area. A .7Ω coil with 28ga is HOT. I am starting to find that longer coils that extend well past the diameter of the center air hole are providing better flavor.

Current build I'm running for a mech is 10 wraps of 24ga at 2.4mm ID for 0.74Ω wicked with organic cotton ball. It's a warm vape, but not hot. Flavor is _excellent_.

I much prefer 28g in my kayfun on my vw device, but for a kayfun/mech combo I think VaPreis nailed it.

I'm not chasing clouds, I have a tobh and stillare for that. just wondering what I was doing wrong with this one because like I said even my Provari and nauti is putting out significantly more vapor.

 

[VaPreis]

No build in a kayfun is for cloud chasing. I thought you were looking for a build that performed well on a mech. .7 with 28ga isn't it.

I've found that my favorite coil in my Russian is 1.2 ohms. I believe it's 6 wraps of 28 Gauge.

Thanks, was my first build on the Russian, just got it. Had followed a build from YouTube, which worked but, not to what I was looking for. Think I'll rewrap it today with a non subohm build. LOL.
