Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

I have verified that I have the V5 set for the tightest draw and there is still to much air. Is there anything else I can do to get a tighter draw on the V5?

You can get the MTL kit. I use the medium reducer on my KFLV5's. Not inexpensive for some little pieces but they do work.

I probably need to look around for airflow reducers for a lot of the tanks I own that were designed to be one size fits all (adjustable air flow). The adjustments lean more toward DTL vaping since the cloud maker craze began.

Yeah, more often than not I'm not even MTL. More like MTN. Mouth to nose. Don't inhale nearly as much as I used to. Found there's really no need. And get more of a flavor hit. But I still like the resistance like a real ciggy. Started with the i30 that came with the old innokns. Got used to the SS tips that swivel. (took a while) But after 9,427 tanks later... never got away from the i30. Do they have a problem now and then? Wut doesn't? But I'm stickin' wit da KISS method. And again... YMMV. Big tank, easy fill, NEVER leaks.

Earl Grey is my favorite tea and I drink close to two quarts a day. Not a fan of sweet tea. Have you tried it by itself without cream or honey, and how was it?

I drink Earl Grey every day. Not as much as you though. Generally just one cup in the evening. I drink it black with no sugar. Also drink PG Tips which is regular English tea. My local supermarket has a small English section. Tea and biscuits and a few other delicacies.

I tried the earl grey flavor on its own and to me it was missing something, which is always the case with TFA stuff. I tried all my usual recipe techniques with earl grey and it always seemed to be not quite there, until I got the tip about honey. I use honey in other recipes but never more than 2%. It's all a matter of taste anyway, I like sweet vape flavors.

The only thing I like to add in my tea is some half-and-half. A nice cup of tea and a vape…ahhhhhhh!!!!!

I'm trying to decide if I want to use straight VG in my Russian flavors and try 5% DW for thinning or if I want to make it 90/10 VG/PG to thin. The VG that I have is not one of the pre thinned ones I've heard of it is like maple syrup. Get it from a place called Froggeys at Amazon. It is really thick. I tried thinning it like supposedly the Ducks is with 5% PG 95% DW which makes it 19ml of water in 100ml but that is too much, makes the whole juice the same thickness as Ducks flavoring which I mix about 50/50 with my straight VG juice and it comes out just right so does the Ducks makes the 100ml just right. I meant to send them an email and ask what they use and how much in their flavoring. I think I'll try 5% DW and the only PG will be from my flavors so total of 3ml there and the nic is 50/50 so I would end up with about 5% DW 5% PG 90% VG. Just thinking out loud to cornfuse everyone. I can always add more DW and nic.

Have you considered that your vg is just too thick? Never heard of Froggy's other than selling clone hardwear out of China. Do you really want to use vg from China? That may be your problem.

VG I have is a LOT thicker than mapel surple! Room temp VG pours slower than syrup right out of the fridge. Itz a real blast getting it into a syringe for measuring.

 

[DavidOck]

Set it in a bowl of hot water for a while.

You'd think I would have noticed the difference yesterday while mixing some juice. The flavors were spot on, but on one of my unflavored 100ml bottles I accidentally poured PG twice! So, I had a bottle of unflavored 100% PG mix ...

It was obvious because I topped off the condiment bottles before starting the pour. One was still full and the other was missing about the amount I put into the glass bottle.

The worst part was that I had to pour half into another bottle and add VG to both and then add half the nic in each bottle to bring them back up to 3%. The upside is that now I have 300ml of unflavored to play with!

It's all good in the end ... I have lots of flavors to test in small batches and more than enough unflavored to go around. Maybe I need to put a strip of red tape around one bottle and green tape around the other!

I have decided that I am changing my style of vaping. I have been vaping 5mg Nic in 50/50 Juice and using TC with Ni200 coils. I'm a chain vaper and don't want to figure out how much I go through in a day. I got some Kayfun V3.1 tanks and fixed them up with 1.3 - 1.5 Ohm coils. Vaping at 12 Watts I am getting a great vape. I have the Kayfun V5 set up the same way and I find the V5 to be very airy and not conducive to MTL vaping. I have verified that I have the V5 set for the tightest draw and there is still to much air. Is there anything else I can do to get a tighter draw on the V5?

Use a tighter drip tip to start with. And there is kit with pieces to insert in the airflows to make it tighter also. I'd try the drip tip first.

I'm a shallow inhaler and I do the mouth to nose thing most of the time. 70pg juice can do a number on lungs compared to VG. I like flavor more than vapor, so I'm at 8w to 10w most of the time.

MTN is really a good way to taste the exhale. You get notes through the nose exhale that you'd never experience in the juice with a mouth exhale.

IIRC, thatz one of the reazonz I never liked the K-funnniez. Too mutch aggravation for me. But, as alwayz, YMMV.
I like to take the top off, fill it, put the top back on. Done. No fiddling required.

That's all I do. But then I don't like a tight draw. The only KF I've had a bit of trouble with is this black K5, which started out well. I'll play eoth it until I fix it, break it completely, or strip it for parts & toss what's left.

@Diver9543 you can purchase an air reducer kit for the Kayfun 5.

Thanks I will look into the reducer kit.

You can get the MTL kit. I use the medium reducer on my KFLV5's. Not inexpensive for some little pieces but they do work.

Let me check @Diver9543 I think I have 3 sets of them and I don't use them.

The VG is fine but it's supposed to be thick. I'll have to check but pretty sure it is from USA.

Tell me about it even without the needle on it is hard to get into my 30ml syringe but it is doable.

50/50 for me is even too much PG. Makes my lungs hurt. I do a partial lung and MTL and is just fine with max VG.
