Switching kayfuns to other mods

[nemoishouse]

Having 2 KFLs and a. 3.1 I've noticed that after I place them on a different mods there is a taste difference. Example: I have a hammer mod in 18350 mode. A kayfun of about 1.0 ohm will be perfect. Then when I switch it to say a chi or king mod in 18650 mode the first few hits are dry and have slight burnt taste. It eventually goes away but I can't figure out why this happens. Any ideas??

All that comes to mind is that - starting at 4.2v+/-, IMR batteries have a rapid initial discharge to around 3.9-3.8v - then settle in for a bit before additional discharge. With a 18350 vs an 18650, 4.2v, and a coil at 1.0Ω, the available amperage and discharge rates will be different enough for a possible issue to occur.

Can't really think of anything else that applies... and to be honest, not sure if what I just said would apply either... a bit of a stretch to wrap my head around. I've never encountered the difference you refer to under similar conditions.

I'm sure it has to do with voltage drop, internal battery resistance, and initial voltage output.

Or maybe that's just part of it. You could always try a couple primer unpowered drags to see if that helps, then it may be a wicking problem just related to how you hold the mod

18350 will not drive like a 18650 and a normal 18650 will not drive power like a 30a 18650.

Still, I'm surprised you Kayfuns are giving any trouble.
Maybe you have a touch to much wick.(choking) Not wet enough for the higher output.

Interesting thoughts. I figured the battery output may have some thing to do with it and also wicking. Haven't really had many Kayfun problems honesty minus this. I still love them and they are my all day atomizers!! Thanks

There may be some other reason, like crxess' wet wick theory, but without every bit N' bob of information... we go with what we have to work with. ;-)

I tired a new wicking method I saw on Facebook which seems to be working very well. I can't remember the name of it but it's where there are 2 loops that come down into the juice wells and they don't block the channels. It's working beautifully thus far.

I've come to the conclusion that it's just one Kayfun and the liquid is thicker than the rest. Kinda sucks because it's my fav flavor.
