Nothing changed. Same micro coil, tried wick that barely touched deck, then wick with a little extra. Same thing. I am vaping some 12mg, which isn't scratching the itch; so hitting more often in row. But even when I put it down for a few minutes I'm not seeing that bubble rise from the chamber.

1.8 ohm in the KFM, 2.0 ohm in the KFL.

I find on the head scratchers you should just start all over. Take everything apart, clean it, inspect it for orings missing or damaged, recoil, rewick, make sure everything is snugged up, blah, blah, blah. You get the picture.

Hey, I'm having some issues with my KFM and KFL wicking. I have to 'prime' it every so often (cover the air hole and suck through the tip) to get juice into the chamber.

I've only gotten priming issues when my wick is getting fouled and needs a change. The only other time I had a problem was when went a little too heavy on the cotton and the little chambers were a little too clogged. I have enough cotton to drop down and run across the botton deck... and before I close the chimney, I make sure that the wick clears both channels as cotton will expand as it saturates.

If you are barely touching the deck with the wick, it might be a case of not having enough wick. I just followed the little suggestion in SM's KF 3.1 manual... works well.

Hey, I'm having some issues with my KFM and KFL wicking. I have to 'prime' it every so often (cover the air hole and suck through the tip) to get juice into the chamber. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong since it's happening on both. I've tried lengthening the wick and that didn't help. Any suggestions?

So Bridget, did you find out what was causing the problem?

    been testing an idea on the HC3.1.... seeing how long it takes to get the flavor to poop out before changing wicks.... so far 7 tankfuls of Legend 100VG and still doing well... Retic knows how to build a coil/wick!!
    You pulled that setup out of the R91% ? That was the result of 8 or 9 builds in that atty before settling on that one for best results , it's not the same coil I was using but it's identical to the winner of that trial , I'm using the same setup in both 3.1's too .

    When I get to that point I just start all over from scratch. It's maddening and I feel sorry for Bridget. She's probably ready to punt that thing.


    I still think it's the Ahlusion juices she's got not working right with her current setup.

    Doesn't Bridge sound just like how I did when we used to discuss DF last year?! :D

    {{Hugs}} Bridge, take it slow. You need to be in a calm assertive state of mind, so your dog err KFL goes into a calm submissive state.
