Interesting Bronze. You say make the legs come out the bottom (to be honest, I was just glad to get it situated and never even noticed the legs were on the top), yet JohnDo congratulated me on having the legs on the top? Sir Rod is confused. Yes he is!
Don't be confused. It works either way. There is no right way or wrong way. I find it easier to have the legs come out the bottom (the wire lays flat when you go to wrap them around the terminals). I'd be guessing but I'd say 95% of the people have them coming out the bottom (based on the multitudes of photos I have seen across ECF). If JohnDO has a reason why he comes over the top then I believe him. Personally, shorting has never been a problem for me.

Some people remove the airflow screw and the whistling stops.

If you remove the airflow screw, I recommend putting a piece of tape over it so juice leaks/condensation doesn't leak out the bottom. I go one step further and wrap the airflow screw with thread tape for a tight seal (I don't remove my screws).

Huh?? You lost me on that one. :)

Heh. Well, I assume it's obvious that Honk Kong is half Chinese and half British, so the ladies voice on the subway speaks in English with a British accent. When the doors open on the train, they say "please mind the gap" instead of "watch your step", as there's a gap between the train and the platform. Likewise, watch out for anything that could short out the small gap between the posts on the Kayfun deck.

I forgot to mention I realized I'm going to need more Kanthal. So instead of being raped by my vape shop on a little bit for a lot of money, I ordered 100' of TEMco A-1 28 gauge Kanthal for $7 from Amazon!

Speaking of wire, this morning I decided to make a few new coils waiting for ECF to return and sure enough the spool feel and about 40 feet of wire unraveled on the kitchen floor. It sure has a lot of spring in it.

Nice to see you back Tim.

Gotcha! I'm not up to snuff on my Hong Kong subways I guess. Been meaning to get after that. :)

OK, so I'm not going to worry much then as it works and works well.

I'm happy with the airiness of how it's working, so I'm prolly not gonna' remove the screw and take a chance of losing it or getting juice/condensation on the bottom of the RBA.

According to the official Svoemesto Laws, Code 1.5.6.54.981.."There shall be no law that requires the airflow screw to remain in said KFL+ device."

Good to know. Can you please forward the rest of the SvoeMesto laws. The owners manual [that didn't come with the thing to begin with] says nottin'. Nottin' I'm telling you!

You'll get condensation on the bottom of your KFL with or without the airflow screw.

Ping, I updated my post with my thoughts on the KFL+. But Really Really Really Really like it. Yes I do! And I was SO proud of myself as I built one coil and it worked great.

I'm now on day three with the same piece of cotton and the flavor hasn't degraded a bit. Until it does, I'm not changing it as that means having to empty the thing to get to the build deck. That's the ONLY thing (besides it's hard to fill) I find annoying.......


I go a week sometimes two with the same cotton.

I don't get very much condensation. Wouldn't it stand to reason, I'd get more without the screw in there??
Try it and find out. It wont hurt anything. There are many people who yanked the screw out. I didn't because it doesn't whistle. It wont explode or anything.

I'll wait until I install the next coil/cotton combo. It might be my build whistling.

I commented on it because someone (can't remember who now) said I'd need to replace the cotton every other day. When the taste changes, I'll replace the cotton, but not likely before.

You'll do some tweaking as you go along and get comfortable with it. I'm just glad you got it going. Someone mentioned earlier about the needle tips. That's what I use. RTD Vapors sells nice needle tip bottles for cheap (AW batteries too). The 18 gauge blunt needle tip works best in a Kayfun. 16 gauge is too wide, 20 gauge stresses out the Arthur Ritis.

I'm glad I got it going too! Sir Rod would have been mighty embarrassed to report he got a KFL+ but couldn't use it due to his pea-sized brain! I'm sure I'll get used to fiddling with it. And I must admit it's much easier than I imagined. Thanks for the vote of confidence Bronze!!
