What size coil for kayfun lite?

[user-unknown]

What size coil do you build on your kayfun lite? I'm not going cloud chasing. I'm looking for maximum flavor.
I tried a 1/16 last night as my first build with cotton but the flavor seems to be lacking compared to my iclear 30s at the same watts.

I like using a 5/64" drill bit - I feel like more juice can get in there to vaporize. Flavor has always been great and plenty of vapor (which I know you said you're not particularly shooting for but it's a nice side effect ).

I like 1/16th inch id for my tobeco, and 1.5mm allen key for my 804s. There's no real way of knowing what you like until you try though. Sometimes differences are small but as long as there are differences, one person will prefer one and another person the other. Don't forget the fancy stuff like the vertical coil. Not hard at all in a kfl or similar. Have fun and good luck.

There's lot of great threads and YouTube demo vids showing all kinds of possible builds.

I'm not an expert, but I've been getting pretty good results using 28 gauge Kanthol, about 12 wraps around a 1/16th" drill bit, and using cotton for the wick. There's a recent KF thread talking about using an extra long length of cotton, with the ends folded back up and laid across the coil. This technique (by an ECF guy named Truman iirc) produced great vapor and taste.

Did you try turning up power? The aiflow is directed to coil a lot better in kayfun than stock atomizers..

I use 26, 28, and 30 in my kayfun systems. I've been primarily using 26 since using mechanicals. I mainly use a fluke multimeter lead (~2mm) to wrap on. I like to keep at least ~7wraps, and I only do compressed/microcoils.
