Vacuum and Kayfuns Lite.

[Heavyrocker]

Im waiting for the Kayfun to arrive and was wondering how the hell it works as it creates a vacuum inside the tank,wouldnt this make it harder for the wick too''burn'' the juice.With my Kracken i have the fill hole unblocked in order for it to vape good.How the hell does the vacuum with the KF tank work?Me thinks ill have too unscrew the top cap between vapes to let some air in.

Well, have you heard of ANYONE having to do that? NO
Just because you don't understand Vacuum tanks doesn't mean they don't work.

A slight negative vacuum is formed from e-liquid trying to pull out if the tank. The vacuum is pulling back at the e-liquid and keeps it in check.
When you Vape, you draw e-liquid out of the tank and into the wick material. When you stop the draw, a small amount of air is drawn back into the tank replacing used e-liquid and maintaining balance.

*Note - If you undo the cap on a full tank, you can expect a FLOODED wick chamber

if you take the top cap off, juice will start pouring out of the air hole. Dont do that.

Its simple, dont let the word vaccuum make you think its more complicated than it is. You "pull" on it and it sucks juice into the chamber and wets the wick. When you "pull" or "draw", thats a vaccuum. negative air pressure.

However, if you run at a super high wattage, you are burning it faster than you are sucking juice into the chamber... and you will get burnt hits. I wouldnt go above ~12 watts if you chain vape. At least in my experience, that will burn more juice than you can pull and you will start burning the cotton instead.

Works just like putting your thumb over a straw in a glass of water. Same concept. Opening the top is the same as removing your thumb.

There is no constant vacuum in a Kayfun. It's not a sealed vessel. It can't be, because there is an air inlet hole, as well as a chimney and drip tip. The only vacuum that exists when you draw on the tip. As juice is vaporized, it is replenished by pulling juice up through the channels and into the wick.

I was under the impression that there is a constant vacuum, or more precisely a "holding vacuum" I guess that prohibits the juice from entering the channels unless vaped. That's why when the top is removed it allows the juice to enter. Is this wrong?

It's more of a matter of hydraulics than vacuum, actually. It's sort of the reverse of the principle of the way a lift works in an auto repair shop.

Awesome manual,thanks.

Found in the manual:

The e-liquid is stored in the tank system which is located between the walls of the outer
chassis and the evaporation chamber.
The evaporator chamber (2) has special grooves (1h) that serve as ducts for e-liquid to flow
into the evaporation chamber which is mounted to the atomizer base (1).
The tank is sealed and air tight when the cap is closed, so liquid does not flood the
evaporation chamber through these grooves - air pressure inside the tank prevents it.
Drinking bowl for birds works on the same principle: liquid does not come out of turned
upside down water-filled bottle if you deep bottle neck in a bowl of water.
Water comes out of the bottle only when the level of liquid in the bowl drops below the level
of the bottle neck - then some amount of water will pour out, fill the bowl up the bottle -
and then stop again.

WOW...this is s a cool tank:

During the inhalation process, the evaporation chamber receives liquid from the tank
through the grooves (1h) and after the inhalation the tank receives air from the evaporation
chamber.
This process can be visually observed as air bubbles rising from the grooves in the tank
(provided the transparent ring is being used).
