Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[DingerCPA]

I don't have a V5, but I have several V2 Lites and V3. I also had problems. I knew all along that it was me since so many people absolutely love them. Still, I wasn't having any luck, so I stored them when I discovered and fell in love with the Ego One Mega with the CLR coil. That's still my favorite atty/coil setup, but I kept thinking how I'd bought five Kayfuns ($9.99 each) so I need to learn how to make them work.

Bottom line, I think I was over wicking. I started searching Youtube and came across this video. This guy wasn't putting the cotton wick in nearly as tight as I was. I tried it his way, and it works like a charm. Great flavor in the Kayfuns, now. If you're interested, the part about wicking starts at 8:30 on the vid.

I tried the Lite and a 3.1ES. I still have a couple of V2.1 Minis. They are too tight of a draw for me, so I was constantly "overdriving" and burning. I'm having MUCH better luck with the V3 Mini and the V5.

Mike, you're right - barely enough cotton for a teensy bit of resistance. I actually prefer Rayon for my KFs. I can "overstuff" and still get great wicking. I also am VG-heavy in my juices. Rayon seems to work better for me in this instance.

i was surprised to see that vaping.com shipped the sbody last night. Woohoo its on its way.

I use rayon too, to cut down on burnt hits

I have a 2 and 3 from FT that are in rotation and absolutely love them.

I hope it's a speedy delivery over to your neck of the woods!

Maybe it's time to try one of those! I still haven't purchased a new tank!

it was shipped DHL express so it should be a week (ish)

Lovely, Kris! Oh for such a talent..... I'm too linear

I'm too...well, I don't really know what I am.

Between the V3 Minis and the V5, I do think I prefer the V5. I need to give it a righteous cleaning - I'm still getting a "funky" taste with fresh wick and juice That may be tomorrow's chore. I'm staring at a BUNCH of tanks that need some TLC this weekend.....

Sounds like fun! Let us know if you wash away that funky taste...I get that too with the k5

Another little trick in that video that helped me is putting juice on the wick and burning it a few times before putting the atty back together. That pretty much eliminated that cottony taste that I often got with a new wick. Seemed to last about half a tank sometimes. Soaking and burning it ahead of time really helped with that. Probably something other folks were already doing, but I never thought of it until he mentioned it.

 

[ChelsB]

Too bad FT doesn't have an app...well maybe it's a good thing!

 

[smacuser]

I haven't seen any from FT I would buy today, but EHPro and HCigar make reproductions that are good and cheap. I have an EHPro v3.1.

 

[MikeADore]

All my Kayfuns are EHpro.

Oh, and I also learned to top fill them, which makes them a lot nicer to use.

Is the price difference huge with clones?

I paid $9.99 apiece for mine. The versions I have are getting more scarce, but there are probably some still out there.

It may be a little bit early.












I never would have thought after struggling thru the first few days I would have made it this far.

Yay, congrats to you!!!! I'm almost at 6 months.
Good for you!!!!!!!!!!

Right, put your fingers over the holes.

Be sure to up end it before you screw down as not to flood?

Madvapes has some EHpro V1 clones for $9.99. They have one air-control screw instead of two, which the V2 have. With 13 percent off and free shiipping, though, you could get one for less than $9.
