My second kayfun arrived today. I wanted a 2nd to experiment with to try and get better results. Once i have it working (no leaking, no burnt hits) i tend to leave it that way until next time.
This time it came with a coil and silica wick in it. So i put it on the reader, and it's 0.6, with triple 1mm silica wick. Now i read enough people say to not bother with the shipping wicks for bad flavor. So i have never tried them.
So far, any coil I've made under 1.9 ohms, i get burnt hits on 2mm and 3mm silica. 1.9 and up, and all seems to work well. I tend to use the Navy Nest with 3mm silica, as long as it's above 1.9 ohms, it is ok. Great vapor production, no leaks, no burnt hits. However it seems to give about half to quarter of the flavor I am used to.
Onto the questions. I am just guessing it is possible to have 0.6 ohm with tripled 1mm silica as it is shipped this way. I see micro coils with such a small amount of cotton. But most (near all) videos i see, they are doubling, and making figure 8's out of 2mm silica.
I have been using a single strand of 3mm silica wrap. So i am puzzled as to what way is better, more wick or less for best results in flavor. I wasted a fair amount of materials with first one not cleaning it properly for first use. This 2nd one will be cleaned well.
Now that i have 2 of them to test, i may try cotton. But i do like that i get a week or more with silica. Working on this not so fun with these old eyes.
