I was referring to successfully setting it up; the process went swimmingly and I know in a few more builds I'll have it the way I want it.




IIRC, my current build on it is 7 wraps of 30ga which comes out to 1.7. Next build I'll throw a few more wraps on it and aim for 2.5. Thanks for the insight.

I have a 1.5 ohm 28g kanthal micro coil in my kf3.1 clone. It hits well at 10 watts. The question is what are you using as wick? With cotton sometimes less is more as cotton will soak up loads of juice. With silica it is more about finding the balance of the amount of wick versus the pg/vg ratio. If there isnt enough silica you could flood the chamber when you pull. If you get too much it is dry hit city which is where funky flavor will come in play

I've been brought up on cotton microcoils and used SS mesh in an RSST, but for the kayfun I used Ekowool. Torched it before using to get rid of some of the funky taste. I'll post pictures tomorrow if I remember.

Dumb question time!

The only colour options at protovapor are black and silver. Are the other colors just not in production right now? Or was that a limited run? Were certain colors specific to certain other vendors?

I did do a quick search of the site's blog but didn't see anything about color options (besides the switch) at all. :blush:

Probably just sold out at the time.

And the only dumb question is the one never asked.

Thank you! I frequently preface questions I post in loooong threads because, although I DO search the
thread before posting, a lotta times whatever I'm asking is something that's been covered 10X before.
I'm just tip-top at using the wrong terms.....

:p

I just got my notice and our order numbers were close...bet yours is coming shortly if not already I bet.

Congrats on your order, bet you're excited! Could ya remind me what # you were again?

It's funny, I work 7p-6a EST, which would convert to 2p-1a HST...and they said they tend to work late (i'll guess 7:00 or 8:00p), so maybe I still do have a chance. Would definitely make me happy :)

Until I get my Kayfun i've just been using a Nautilus, an iclear 30s, and a protank at around 8 or 9 watts and i've got to say at that low of wattage the battery life is amazing. I've been getting two full days between charges. I was nervous when I ordered the protovapor because I heard the battery life was terrible when you vape at high wattage so I assumed it must not be that good at low wattages either but that hasn't been the case. Really loving this thing. My Kayfun shipped from Cali today so hopefully i'll be building my own coils by the weekend.

I think we all must have got kayfuns at the same time, unfortunately my xpv will be here before my kayfun. Im looking forward to trying a ZattyU on the xpv... And a dripper...

Yeah. I wouldn't have known they were back in stock if you wouldn't have mentioned it so thank you. Vaperev is already sold out so i'm glad I ordered when I did.
