Kayfun coils

[bigdsb]

received my kayfun clone today but unfortunately the coil resistance is too low for my vamo or mvp. Can I buy pre made coils and if so where is best to buy from. Not sure I'm ready to try build my own yet

Just make a different coil ... Vamo won't work below 1.3 ohms... Put more turns in or bigger diameter or thinner wire ... A 1.5 to 1.8 ohm coil will still work really well

Or are you using a pre-made coil that came with it ?

[bigdsb]

Yeah its the coil that was built on it at purchase. If I have to ill buy the stuff and learn but in the meantime was hoping maybe I can buy them pre made and ready to go?

bigdsb, Well you can get prewound from Fasttech, www.fasttech.com/products/0/10004596/1432701-replacement-wicks-and-wires-for-rebuildable
But by the time they have arrived you could have progressed onto Micro and CW and still have time on your hands.

Ok better start watching some YouTube videos then lol thanks

I buy these and just use cotton wool. They work a treat

I got my kayfun-ish in the post today, must be the same batch.

Slightly mental person, but this is a good video guide to a simple chimney coil (he does a standard coil first), luckily I already had some wire lying about. Good that you can use ordinary cotton wool for wicking.



So far it has a bit more of a kick to it than I'm used to. I like the big juice capacity, but it's a PITA to fill. Worth what little I paid for it, though it took forever to come back in stock and forever to arrive in the post.

It's actually an easy RBA to recoil, just use something like the smooth end of a drill bit to wrap the wire, screw it down, see if the vamo will light the coil up (if it doesn't just make a longer coil with more turns), then bung some cotton wool in roughly the right places. For a change I didn't spend hours messing about with a rewick, literally took about 10 min and I haven't even seen a kayfun before. Give it a go is my advice.

Good to know waiting for mine to arrive
