Also, is it safe to use the kayfun 5 if all the water isn't yet evaporated from the nooks and crannies?
Hey Chels, here's a good tip for ya.

I keep a few cans of tech spray (canned air used to clean computers) on hand for when I clean my atties. It works great for getting all the water out of those nooks and crannies. You can find it easily at any Staples, Office Max, or even big box home stores sometimes.

Unless water is dripping out of it, you need not worry about a little wetness in any nooks or crannies. "Not dripping out" is the key phrase here.

The electrical resistance of water is much higher than your coil wire and it would mix with the juice anyway.

Not sure if this can be seen but I broke the coil again. Any suggestions on how to avoid this?

    Practice ... practice ... practice.
    I know of no other way to avoid it.

    add: none of those little meters are 100% accurate.
    You don't even want to know what a meter costs that can accurately read macro ohms.
    I accidentally melted a set of leads once (my bad... hot exhaust headers tend to do that) Just the leads were almost a thousand bucks.

    Ya, those headers

    not sure what I have here.

    Heron v2 looks like. They offer an air flow resister now and if you don't want to get it I'd grab some 3->2 prfe tubing off Amazon and make your own. You will prefer the vape by a landslide. I can also offer you some build advice. That is probably my favorite tank or top two or three for sure. And I've experimented a ton with jt. The first thing is to get the air flow reduced. I'll paste a link in a back here to the gp part. Are you in the USA or U.K. ? You have a couple options for the authentic part but he ptfe tubing works just as well.

    This is a hell of a tootle puffers setup

    The gp spheroid / piccoloid with 31 gauge six wraps at 1.8 throws out so much dense vapor its shocking. Off a 14500 battery even. 31 is a pain to work with. It breaks easily and you have to be careful working the cotton or rayon through. Its is quite a bit better than 32 while still giving the instant response and quick sense vapor.

    There's a device on Amazon for like $20 -40 that is permanent. A little computer compressor. I use it all the time. If you're constantly using canned air for things it pays for itself in about two months. Fwiw. If you want s link I'll find it for he one I have. But it's a small air compressor that I use on my atomizer.

    Cleaning for me is (this is for she. I want all previous flavor out ) you can skip he milk if you don't have really polluting flavors that stick around forever)

    Antibacterial soap wash in a sonic cleaner
    Rinse
    Vodka soak (min 1hr)
    Rinse
    Milk soak overnight
    Rinse
    Blow out with compressor

    This is just crazy look at what it's reading at now that I pulsed it a little bit. What does it all mean?
    One of the reasons we break the coil legs is because the bottom of the screws that catch the wire in the deck are sharp and act like metal shears.
    The resistance fluctuation is most likely due to : one or both screws being loose, one of the coil legs is broken, or the coil is touching the deck.

    Ultra fine grit sand paper rubbed on the flat of the screw and the deck top can take off the sharp and make it less likely. Takes just s moment to give it a quick scuff up etc. I used to do that with droppers at first then I moved to regular deck screws too. Really helps round things out.

    What about the differences in ohm readings on the different ohm meters?
    That is just the meters, internal resistance and so on, they're there to keep you safe. They would give you a ballpark measurement, the really accurate ones are waaaay above my pay grade.
