Helllooooo Everyone! How are you? Im popping in to ask if you any of you can help me with my kayfun v5. Im not super lost, i just cant find my sweet spot. I like this tanks, i really do..its not leaking! Anyway i have a FT prebuilt 1.3 ohm coil in it. My flavor is not coming thru all the way, its not peppery its just all the way there. This is the first tank ive had where the juice flow is a REAL juice flow and the air flow is its own thing. I cant figure out if i need to close the juice or open the juice..up the watts or lower the watts or well do i close or open the air to make the flavor better? I have been twisting and turning my tank all kinds of counter clock wise clock wise ways today. Any suggestions? Its my first kayfun. ive been trying it at 11watts to 12.5 watts..mostly 11 or 11.5.



Hi there gemineye. I am not very much help on the kayfuns but I am sure you will be inundated when everyone sees your question. It seems very popular. :p

    I get it that I'm being mocked and I'll stay out of your thread

    I think I mighta missed something, but I can assure you that nobody in this thread was mocking you. These are some of the friendliest peeps around, and whatever was said to upset you, I'm sure it was meant as lighthearted fun, and not as mocking.

    Give us another chance, we'll make it up to you. Please? Pretty please? Don't make me break out the puppy dog eyes.

    LOL! No, but seriously... I went ahead and did it, I built my Kayfun with some 36AWG N80... 6 wraps on a 5/64 drillbit coming in at 4.4Ohms?! Oh my... theres a problem boss... ive never vaped on something above 3Ohms before! I usually shot for 2.5 at its highest. The vape from my KFL+ is alot cooler than I remember.

    The good side is your battery life should be terrific vaping at only 1W.:lol:

    Don't have a 5, but the height of the coil over the air intake will affect flavor. And the material of the coil will as well - no telling what the factory used, kanthal, nichrome, or...

    It has a single and dual airflow option, the dual provides a decent semi restrictive lung hit.

    She whistles though, and it's unscrew the top cap to fill. People have re-purposed the base for Orchid's, Aqua, KFV4 etc... So it might make a good frankenatty if you don't like it stock. ;)

    Hmmm, I know "restricted lung hit" can be defined differently depending who it is, describing it, but since I know you have a Merlin, I'll compare it to that my Tube atty wide open is very close to the Merlin wide open, both of which to me are DTL, maybe very slightly restricted.

    Mine also does not whistle at all, dual hole or single, possibly yours has some machining remnants some where causing partial blockage/whistling?

    Yea great Frankenatty, huge thread over on FT with lots of ideas.

    Thats a pretty good idea. Is the airflow more than a Monster? Something like a K5?

    Airflow from least to most:

    Monster V2, Monster V3, KF5, Tube.

    V2/V3 are close, but V3 is noticeably more then V2, Kayfun 5 wide open is a fair bit more then a monster V3, but quite a bit less then the Tube atty.

    What are you comparing it to? The Kayfun 5 is a good atomizer, not the best flavor but good. Not sure it even makes my top 10, maybe in my top 20. That may sound bad but I have somewhere North of 400 judge from.

    So far I've gotten the best flavor from it with a 2.5mm SS430 .28g pulled maybe 1mm above the natural resting point of the coil. I've tried a fair number of builds in it, and so far I've not been overly impressed. Again, not saying it is bad, just not outstanding.

    Thanks CC!
    I'll have a look see if there is any stuff in it and compare to my Merlin's.

    I do like the solid tank look, with a 26G Ti build in it right now there is no worry about juice levels. ;)

    I need to give that FT thread a good look over. :thumbs:

    The most annoying thing about the Tube when using the included tank/cap is how much liquid is displaced by the top cap, have to be careful not to overfill or you end up with a mess.

    Yea TC makes not paying attention with a steel tank worry free. I'll also add it is nice that Evolv seems to have finally nailed SS mode for their boards. Good, and bad, bad that now I have to buy a few more Evolv based mods :glare:, good that it finally works quite well.

    Awwww nice try though. What about a cute KD
    The screen is monochrome 128x32 pixels, I don't know how much cute I could put into that? ;)

    If you want to create something, I'll try to convert it for the screen.
    (Cause I know you got mad skills!) :thumbs:

    have you noticed my mad skills are generally with things that I don't have to draw. LOL

    I just put this up on the billet box thread, my latest panels and I am so chuffed with the result. It feels great and I managed to create the button from the original cutout so the button matches and satisfies all my "Sense of order" requirements. :p



    sorry fixed the giant pic ;)

    How beautiful Krisma, with that fancy button! and what an excellent way to indulge in satisfying one's sense of order requirements :)
