VapingBad my 2 kayfuns have arrived from focal should I strip them and throw away the coil and wick that is in there and give them a good scrub tell me what you would do with them

[markm]

Junk the coils, full strip down and wash with nice hot water/washing liquid and toothbrush, then rinse
Dry, build and vape
A sonic cleaner is the lazy way to get them spotless though.

bin the coil and wick and get a scrubber on it

I would, mine were not as dirty as the FT ones, I put the o'rings, centre pin & negative connection block on a loop of wire so they don't go down the plug hole.  It is also good to clean the air intake out if you have a 1.2 mm dill bit handy and line up the air holes in the bottom of the centre pin with the intake, but don't over tighten those center pins are not very strong.

The weakest point of these is the fill hole is not counter sunk very well, I put PTFE tape on the fill screw, but I think that I read decoy sands them smooth.

Have fun

I have stripped them down and I am scrubbing them now with a spare tooth brush water is nice and hot can only just touch it drop of washing up liquid looking forward to using these

[OneDay]

The Kayfuns I got from Focal had the most shocking pre-made wicks I've ever seen. The wicks were fraying badly and there was glass fibre (silica) dust all over the inside of the chamber. I did NOT want that in my lungs!

i dont sand down the fill hole i have re countersunk one cause it was pants
i personalty would strip them right down (center pin and everything)
i boiled mine and wow you can see the crap that comes outa them when new yuck
when your putting the center pin back in take note of were the 2 holes are in it and line them up with the air intake hole on the deck if poss(helps a lot with the whistling)
i all so drill out the drip tip (again helps with the whistling)
if you find it 2 tight a draw use a ruddy good 1.5 mm drill bit on the air hole in the deck if still 2 tight 2mm but not much point in going bigger(take the center pin out before drilling)
then follow this vid

this is if its a kfl v1
hope that helps ronaldo
i use the wicking technique in the vid and it works down to .6 ohm
and good luck with the filling of the little suckers

thank you I will get it all sorted when I get in and I have a brilliant drill kit from 0.5mm up to 18mm in 0.1 increments so I have all sizes there is about 185 drill bits all different sizes all titanium

take some fine emery cloth home to sand the end of drip tip smooth after you have drilled it to a wide bore there was only about 4 mm to drill throw on the tip
and take it slow if you drill the air hole in the deck as when you get to the adjustment screw hole it likes to try and snap your drill bit(bench drill would be your best friend at this point as trying to get snapped bits out is a pain)
might be worth pooping in to boots on way home to get some vg for trial run or 2 that way your not wasting juice just blowing clouds till you get it right 
i have fiddled around with these little suckers rather a lot but when you get them working right and used to filling them wow are they good



almost forgot sand the end of the air flow adjustment screw flat also helps with the whistling (the cheap screws have a dimple on the end)
