Svoë Mesto Kayfun III ES Discussion/Questions

[nilbog]

I got my kayfun Lite a couple days ago. I'm a huge kayfun fan love my 3.1s but man this lite is the bomb. The draw imo is perfect. Much like aj said, not too loose, not too tight. I feared that the draw would be super airy which would be a deal breaker for me, but no not at all. It's just about perfect. Feels like 1.3mm to me if it were a genesis. No leaking and I really like the shorter design and the fill screw vs. valve makes me happy. The valve is a point of failure, as much as I like it, and love my 3.1s it's the truth. The lite eliminates the worry. Time will tell I guess, but I'm calling this one a winner

the lite is a definite winner. just set mine up and its working beautifully. happy i got 2 more to due to arrive shortly.

 

[nilbog]

nice gh0zt. i'm thinking about getting a couple more from intaste. They are the best overseas vendor for this stuff imo. Shipping is lightning fast to the US and they don't charge VAT so the lite rings in at right under a c-note which is deluxe.

I have my lite on my pulse which is an awesome looking combo. The brushed finish on the lite is slightly less mirrored than my 3.1 gamma. It looks fantastic.

I got my 3.1ES yesterday and set it up with a tripled strand of 2mm Ekowool and a 5 wrap of 28ga Kanthol at 1.0ohm. The flavor and vapor production is great, but I'm finding it to be a much warmer vape than my gennies that have set up at 0.7ohms. Also I get some tiny little droplets of hot juice on my tongue at the beginning of each draw... No gurgling though.

Any advice?

The Kayfun is a unique piece. You don't need to go so low on your resistance. On my gennies, I run .7-.8 and on my Kayfun I run 1.3-1.6 and get better vapor, about the same heat, and WAY more flavor.

Agreed! That's how it works out for me as well.

I would also check the air screw, mine was set about half way in, I now run it so that the top of the screw is about even with the body.

For the curious if you have not been able to buy the Kayfun lite but want to see it next to the Kayfun v3.1 and the mini. Kayfun v3.1, Kayfun lite, Kayfun mini in dripping mode

 

[codyjo]

Thanks guys! Are you using 30ga Kanthol?

Use the wire of your desire depends on your mod. I use all vv/vw/dna20 mods so I don't worry to much about the wire I do use 28-34ga.

 

[codyjo]

I use only mechanical mods...

 

[manji1]

I'm a mech guy as well and I use 30g for my Kayfun. In my drippers I use 28g or twisted 30 but the Kayfun doesn't need or really want a super low resistance coil. I run either a 3/4 or 4/5 of 30 and it works perfectly.

so what resistance range does the kayfun run best at on a mech w/ ekowool

I have been running 1.2-3 ohms with 2mm ekowool in the special 8 wick style.

(Video is in German, but still a great watch!)

some said 1.5-2.4ohm. some say 1 - 1.5ohm. actually its up to preference.

0.8 to 1.1 ohms for a mech. Any higher, best to put on a provari or similar.

I'm quite confused, I got 2 ohms with 5 wraps of 28 gauge kanthal
