What I like about the Kayfun Lite is it holds 4+ mls of juice. The flavor/feel is like a dripper and the juice feeds like a bottom coil. Yes Shat, there are lots of parts but they are all needed. It's no big deal. No need to be intimidated by all the parts. The Kayfun Lite is actually very easy to rebuild. And it is tasty using a variety of wicking materials. And the thing is built like a brickhouse!
Oh, and I'm still waiting for the first molecule of leakage.
And here is the business view (wick is an old beat up silica wick but still hits like a freight train.
I've watched several vids on the KF Lite. What I don't get is how the liquid wicks up. So?
Either way, I bought one. I've watched quite a few vids on building micro coils. I haven't tried again, but I'm pretty sure I can do it. All I did on my first try was missed one step: pulling to tighten it up.
I also have a Chi You clone on the way. My Atmizoo Roller isn't working. I have an email in to Vaperev, form whom I purchased it. We'll see how good their custy service is pre-purchase. I'm not holding my breath.
Where are you getting wire? My Twik came in as did my organic cotton balls.
The Juice: N-E-Tcom Sun-Cured Turkish, Heat-Extracted, 70 PG/30 VG
The Rig: Fresh IkenVape Platinum v2 Punch SR carto (3 Ohm), GP SnP Tank, ProVari Mini @4.6v
The Taste: Rich, full-bodied tobacco, at once very slightly grassy (noticed on inhale), very slightly woody (noticed on the exhale). Distinctively not an American variety. At the finish, the notes blend and it hits you - toasted. Close your eyes and you'll see the leaves drying in the bright sunlight of a distant land (ok, slightly hyperbolic there).
The Bottom Line: Although Clay suggests trying a blend of this with their Flue-Cured Virginia and Air-Cured Burley, I can assure you it stands perfectly well on its own. Sun-Cured Turkish isn't just a juice - it's a Vape!

Many get it from Temco from Amazon.com Amazon.com At a Glance: TEMCo Industrial Power
RTD vapes also has good prices RA Wick & Wire
Or just watch ........'s blog for the deals.
Nice job, thanks for the review Franken. So, like the Quiznos commercials, you're saying it's floasted (flavor+toasted)?
I plan on checking out the single varietals. Most looking forward to the Turkish, both combining with Virginia and on it's own. Also excited to try the fire and air cured Burleys on their own.
Plus, with all of them it will be fun to drip some of a few like layering a pipe. Some Burley and Virginia, a splash of Perique, topped with a drop of Latakia.. will put my large drippers like the IGO-L to use.

BJ,
While I do not evangelize for home-brewed NETs and would neven even suggest that you reconsider your decision not to extract, I want to affirm again that simple, straightforward macerated extracts made from natural tobacco are extremely easy and inexpensive to make. No sophisticated equipment is required---just good, high-quality tobacco, ordinary kitchenware (you don't need a dedicated slow-cooker/crock pot; a water-filled pot on a burner with a low setting works perfectly well as a water bath to slow-cook the macerations), PG and VG, coffee filters and a cone, jars for the cook, and bottles to hold your finished extract. Yes, a cold-process extraction takes a couple weeks, and a slow-cook extraction takes two days (in my case), but the total work required during the prepping/steeping/cooking/filtering is about two hours, which yields enough extract to make 500-700mls of diy NET juice. I do three batches of different tobaccos at once, which cuts my work time per extract even further.
Diane at MyVapeJuice and Clay at N.E.T. are the only two vendors I know of who currently sell macerated natural tobacco extracts for DIY. I hope they receive all the support and sales they need to succeed and continue their efforts. I just happen to enjoy making my own NETs. I'm glad that I'd already amassed a very large collection of retail NET juices from the numerous vendors extolled on this thread before starting my own extractions, but home-brewed NETs have revolutionized my vaping.
Best of luck with your NET DIY!
ebay sells all kinds of Kanthal and wick. 30ga, 10 wrap (@ 2mm inside diamter) is good for a regulated mod. Gives you 1.9 ohms. If you're gonna use a mech, then get 27 or 28 ga Kanthal to go subohm.
Me too, but she dumped me because she found me too much of a practicing alcoholic at the time (can't blame her for that wise decision).
Oh wait, you mean Oriental tobaccos.. yeah those are great too.

I don't detect anything in Sun-Cured Turkish other than the flavor of the tobacco itself. My apologies if my review suggested otherwise.
The two main notes combine to what I call "toasted". Sun-Cured is exactly right - it is just what I imagined tobacco dried in the sun to be like.
Remember how sun-dried autumn leaves smelled when burned? (when it was legal to do that, anyway) Now imagine tobacco baked dry in the sun. Bingo.
I thought I had all the single-varietals in this shipment, but Clay has added more since my order. I have Fire-Cured Burley, Flue-Cured Virginia, Choctaw Perique, and the Turkish this round, plus Balkan and Big Juicy's Blackberry/Burley. Bombay and Pumpkin Pie (?!) came as samples. I'm gonna need a spreadsheet pretty soon.

SHATNER -- YOU da MAN!
Thank you!
More than expected.
Aside from some Mad Murdock, NET.COM, GeJ, VCV, H1N1, some Darth Vapers and nearly full bottles of some QuickNic. Lots to choose from, and much more than I was expecting. Just waiting for them to to room temperature to start cracking them open
Can you tell that I am excited?
Well... let's see some pics.
I don't have a camera, or else I would. And my phone is a dumbphone that doesn't have a built in camera, and can barely take a call, let alone keep one it does make. Sorry.
Otherwise, I would.
But reviews should be forthcoming

I like dumb phones. I always thought a phone was for making and receiving phone calls. I don't need it to cook breakfast for me. That's why I got married.

Same boat! Well, except for the breakfast part.
