Ribbon Wire Builds For Kayfun?

[Mr.BellowFellow]

Hello fellow vapers,
So I just got a kayfun 3.1 & man does this thing ROCK! My very first build using (standard) 2mm silica & a 5 wrap of 30 gauge kanthal @ 1.4 ohm is vaping great. I prefer sub-ohm builds, 3-5 wraps of 28 gauge kanthal @ around .6 ohm is my sweet spot so for it to be vaping this well at 1.4 ohm I can only imagine how much better its going to get when I drop the ohms. Since the resistance is 1.4 ohm's I'm using it on my VAMO V2 @ 10 watts, however I'm going to set it up with a figure of 8 build on my Nemesis with some 2mm silica infused ekowool & a 5 wrap of 28 gauge kanthal around .6 ohm, Ive heard that setup is a FANTASTIC VAPE! OK, sorry for the rambling, what I really want to know is what ribbon wire I should get? Ive heard ribbon wire performs much better than round wire, however there so many kinds & sizes of ribbon wire I don't know what to get, .4mm, .6mm, .8mm, bakero, Linguine, Fettuccine, its just overwhelming . Can someone please tell me what the best ribbon wire for use in the Kayfun is??? I have cotton yarn, cotton balls & 2mm silica infused ekowool for wick. Any guidance would be MUCH appreciated, thanks.

I'm very interested in this flat wire build as well, if you move your post over to the kayfun thread you might get more eyes on the question.

I have been vaping the 3.1 and lite for a few months now, and have done ribbon wire builds. The vape was great, but the Lite and 3.1 are made for round wire. The termination posts are not well suited to ribbon wire.

I try to get 1.2 ohms for the wrap, sub ohm vaping melts the insulator, twice at .6 ohms.

YMMV

I just received my Kayfun (well, a clone, actually) and I haven't started playing with it, and hadn't really thought of ribbon wire for it.

BUT.

The principles behind using ribbon wire are the same as those behind round wire. Wider ribbon wire has lower resistance than thinner ribbon wire, just as thicker round wire has lower resistance than thinner round wire.

It's just a matter of figuring out what you're shooting for, resistance wise.

Now, I DO have some ribbon wire on the way in a few different sizes, but it's for a dripper that I just bought.

Wish I could offer more advice than that, but I haven't seen much on using ribbon in a Kayfun.

Here's a link to a video by a gent using ribbon and Ekowool.
