Kayfun lite clone-advice please

[furbs]

So got the kayfun Lite Clone thursday and since then its been a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs, but never reaching any great heights of flavour and vapour, i know the problem is prob my end and its driving me nuts..lol

Watched most of the vids and read the very good posts here about coils, wicks and stuff, i can get it working no problem, just for me it seems to not be giving me the flavour or vapour of either my pro tanks or iclear30s's.

My Coils and wicks-

Tried 3mm Eko wool and 20 nichrome wire at 2.2, 1.9 and 1.5 ohms(just straight over the hole and down the sides) ...tried the bunny ears but it seemed to block up and crowd the coil.

Tried 2mm and 20 at various ohms, bunny ears, S shape, 3 folds but still feels muted and not enough vapour.

The draw feels tight, if i draw normal it seem to not do enough and i get a small amount of flavour and little vapour, if i draw hard i get a gurgle and feels like im flooding the coil.

Apart from that im no leaking at all and love the quality of the build, its just i know im not getting the best out of it.

Any ideas?

The kayfun lite is usually considered to have a very airy draw as standard ... I read a post somewhere recently where the guy has the same problem with his clone as you and when he poked a pin into the air hole, it felt blocked, so he stripped it down and continued poking while holding it under running water and a shitload of metal swarf was flushed out.

These two videos show what are generally the best ways of coiling a Kayfun:

Hi I had problems even though my coils looked small they were far to big I no nothing about coiling but do have ago and I was told my coils were big and causing a lot of probs I did the figure 8 followed the vids and to me they looked spot on but they weren't

Ive just had a bit more success with a 2mm cotton coil, used a drill bit. Still not alot of vapour, but a bit more taste.

Poula, how big were your coils?

Hi they looked small but some how wen I did my figure 8 if you get what I mean they were small but fat catching the sides the joose channel was clear but the sides weren't I was getting burnt taste couldn't dry hits also couldn't get a vape sometimes very very frustrating and I was told they were to fat were the coil is each side of that hope you get wat a mean coz am clueless but since I have done them slimmer if you like it's been brilliant like a slime figure 8 not fat figure 8 sorry it's the best way I no how to exsplain

I use a microcoil with cotton wool on my KFL and Kayfun 3.1 clone, its really easy and the coils last ages, you just have to swap out the cotton every couple of tank fulls or for a flavour change.
9 wraps of 28awg round a cotton bud stalk, gets me 1.5 ohms.
I will trim the cotton wick approx. 1cm long each side of the coil, wet the wick with some juice, then using my finger nail, press the cotton to the sides of the centre mount, making sure they dont block the juice channels, but sitting on the flat bit.
The juice will allow the wick to stay pressed to the wall of the centre mount.
then just screw on chimney and rest of the tank.
Fill with juice, take a couple of slow pulls without power and then i am good to go.

Exactly what jcol said, flawless every time for me too, I only use mine for my vanilla custard (got silica attys coming out my ears!) and it's silky smooth, loads of vapour and bags of flavour 

Its not a clone mind but got to be worth trying, just don't try to overdo the cotton wool.
