My first micro coil

[zandersig]

Here is my first micro coil, can someone take a look and see what you think? This was made for a kayfun Lite running on a SmokTech SID. I hit 1.6 ohms using 28 awg with 10/9 coils. It hit pretty good but I don't think I got enough cotton through the coil. The leads are hooked up right, right? The top lead goes to the bottom post? I tried it the other way but on this clone the bottom of the post screws are rounded and the wire kept coming out when I was tightening then down...

Well I just tried it out, the first 8 vapes or so I was getting okay vapor, now I'm hardly getting any vapor and I have juice in the air hole. How do I clear out the air hole? The same thing happened yesterday when I did the s shape wick with EkoWool. :-(

Well I took the Kayfun off my SID and to my surprise there was juice sitting on top of my 510 connection on my mod! Juice isn't supposed to leak out of the 510 connection from the Kayfun right? I haven't even adjusted the screw in it.... Something is wrong!

Make sure there's space between the wick and air tube under the coil. The wick should not touch the little platform under the coil.

Right, I did that. Made sure it was at least 1.25 mm

Is there a way to use EkoWool or silica in this micro coil instead of cotton?

 

[DrMA]

I don't see why not

Yeah I managed to thread a 1mm EkoWool wick and double it back through. Don't ask me how, it wasn't easy.... but there is something wrong with my Kayfun lite clone. It just constantly leaks out of the air intake hole (I've lost 25 bucks worth of juice so far). I'm trying to swap mine out for a new one from this dude on ebay but I don't think he believes me. I have tried everything with this thing and every time I fill it up from the top or bottom it just pours juice out of the air intake hole. If he won't help me the only thing I know to do is to throw it in the trash! :'(

Make sure the o ring is in the top cap, the one that seals around the chimney. Sounds like that could be your issue.

Yep, it's in there...

I heard something about covering the fill hole when your first juicing up the kayfun? Maybe this is your issue. A friend of mine currently has this issue and to be honest if pushing me away from getting a kayfun.

I have a russian 91% and a kayfun light clone. No troubles with leaks. The russian is genuine from kebo. Might run through all your o rings. I only fill from the bottom of the tank.....just doing my damnedest not to jinx myself with leaks. Anyway.... It's a phenomenal setup. Don't let a few hickups get in the way of an awesome vape.

Yeah I cover the air intake hole every time. Air has got to be getting in from somewhere, I've checked everything... :'(

That coil is way to big. Definitely not a micro coil unless the photo is playing tricks on me.

Try a coil with a 1/16" (or 1.6mm) inside diameter. Then you will have a micro coil. Once it's mounted loosely thread some sterile rolled cotton thru.

Someone else on this forum has the very same problem with a leaking kayfun clone... I tried my best to help him but I couldn't figure out why his was leaking either. I'm guessing somehow that once all put together your chimney is flooding somehow. Gl man hope you figure it out.

That's a 2mm coil, I can go smaller. I will have to wait though, the seller of the Kayfun lite that I bought from eBay is exchanging it for me. ;-)

1. Make sure you are filling the kayfun up through the bottom screw hole, using a syringe or something.

2. Make sure the kayfun is AIRTIGHT. If it isn't it WILL leak from the air hole.

3. Make sure you aren't over filling the kayfun lite clone.

4. If it still leaks, try turning the mod upside down, and sucking through the vent hole.
