Kayfun airhole

[Mrsmac]

I seem to be having a problem with adjusting the airflow on my kayfun lite clone. From my understanding it is probably more of a Russian than an actual kayfun clone but for some reason, I find the Allen keyed airflow control pants and gives a very strange draw, I dunno,..just not fluid no matter open or closed. I suspect that it is this airflow control which has caused a problem with my previous builds as well causing wicking issues.

Are the other clones any better I.e. Hcigar, tobeco and do they all whistle?

I have heard that if you dismantle and go over all threads and openings, to remove machining debris and burrs is an answer.

Whistling seems to be a trait of all the Kayfun clones and the genuine articles. The Hcigar clones are top quality devices, as good as the originals imo. Do make sure that you do not have a blockage in the airflow hole, but if you have whistling you must have airflow. It's more likely that you have not set up the coil correctly with your wicking material, you must not block those channels.

remove it !!

after boiling it up and coiling i just remove the airscrew,although i do only lung inhale

i shoulda sanded the sodding screw for you sorry didnt think(found if you sand the tip of the grub screw so its flat it really helps cut down the whistle)
the air flow on them is a bit harsh as in once it starts to cut the flow it do it v quick ,mine is more or less half a turn from doing nothing to closed
i thinks the whistling can be helped by lining up the holes in the center pin with the air hole
try a wide bore tip as well the ones that come with them do restrict them a little

The genuine V2 doesn't whistle at all.


Mind you after copying decoy and drilling my russian clone it doesn't whistle now either but it is a 3mm air hole lol

Thanks everyone, I have heard of removing the airflow screw. Think I am just used to the draw of the airflow controlled protank...it's a little easier to adjust and quiet lol

decoy, will send you a pm but it has been whisltleing from before and the draw is the final piece of the puzzle plenty flavour, plenty vapour

that took frickin ages and cobalt drills,dont think i could suck hard nuff on the drilled one to make it whistle ,but i lined up air holes and sanded the screw on my good clone and it dont

I have a V2 and a V1 and both whistle when they are not fully open. If I open fully I do not notice it so much, but it does not bother me either way if it's the price of excellent vaping.

Yes drilling the hole bigger will get rid of any whistle, unless  you can fill your lungs in half a second, then it would whistle like a 1950's policeman.

[Mrsmac]

What would happen if I take out the airflow screw as I have just taken it out and after coughing my lungs out, it is "a cracking vape"

[decoy]

leave it out if its not to airy a draw but dont lose it
nest time your rebuilding the coil if you look on the bottom there is a flat head screw on the center pin tighten/loosen it so it runs same way as air hole(dont do it without it in bits as part of the deck can move and cause a short)
dont force the screw on the bottom and its the part that is connected to the air hole on top of the deck that can move
for them that want to and down the air adjustment screw its just the tip to get rid of the inward dome/flange on the end

Is yours a genuine one? Mine doesn't whistle at all no matter how I set it, it's a KFL+

Yes it is a genuine one enjay. I find that many atties whistle to some extent. I don't mean like a kettle, just the air being drawn in creates a noise like wind howling outside, if you know what I mean.

You bought the wrong drill bits, mine went through like a hot knife through butter, screw was fine so didn't do anything with it. Followed that yt vid and wicked it the same, can't believe you can fit that much cotton in a kayfun without choking it lol

[decoy]

i know thats why i got the cobalt ones enjay but still summut strange with the attie was hard as
as for wicking it yarp can get smegloads in and i do like the way he fluffs it up 1st
