Right changed one kayfun 2.1 this morning to test. 1.= 3mm dia coil - deck loaded with cotton. 2.= 1.8mm dia coil - thin strips of cotton on deck. Dna40 set at 15 watts 440f both kayfuns syringes with 4.5ml of juice. Both do exactly the same, pre boost never cuts in, max out at about 7watts until the juice drops and the gets up to about 12watts max. The dna40 is a great device for teaching me my limitations on my atty's. When I first got one I thought why do I need to see what's it's doing, just get the temp up to my setting and let me vape. I was wrong it's great to see what the board is doing. Some here I will be teaching to suck eggs; So what am I leaning from watching the board do its work, the size of the coil and wicking seem to play little part in my vape, head/vacuum, air flow, and juice flow more so. Controlling the heat makes total sense to me, throwing constant power at other uncontrolled variables does not. Drippers next.

Hi peeps not sure if this is the correct thread but I got one of those cheap QI magnetic base chargers today and can confirm they work with the VS Rdna 40 fantastic, even with the condom on.didnt realise until reading on here that the VS comes with the receiver already built in. no more battery removal and no broken USB socket..

There is a thread here somewhere, think tom started it... Yea they work great and I think they are better than the VS ones. 3rd of the cost is a bonus too.

You changed your pic, forgot who I was chatting with for a mo..... Totally leaked out of the air hole on first try, sure them wells looked massive when building it..... Ha ha . Is nice and looks smart too. Need to lower the airflow for me but it so bloody tight at the moment I can't, need the find my vapers grips. Ie a lacky band...

Just put a ni200 coil on my new kanger subtank (rebuildable part) , Twisted 29Awg round a 3mm bit 8 wraps, came in at 0.110 ohms, vaping on Vaporflask at 25.5watts, set at 440 degrees, very nice. First time ive ever built a twisted coil on any mod, very pleased with my first attempt.

7 pages in what's the thoughts on the wick and coils. Hands up, Im getting fed up with coiling and re wicking, starting to feel like a chore.
About every 3 Kayfun tanks i wet and cut the wick to remove so not to deform the coil, turn temp control off and gently pulse coil to burn of juice (goes White?) utra sonic clean and re wick. What's in this nickel stuff, should I be re coiling more often? Can I get more tanks through a wick with temp control ie carry on filling untill the temp control tells me the coils getting gunked up?
To be honest im only just starting to get a routine, I do much the same above with kanthal but that hasn't got the board protecting me, I just get a dry hit and crap taste sooner or later.....

My favourite juices are almost all serious coil gunkers @letsavit so I'm used to recoiling on a daily basis, in fact I try not to heat coils red hot when compressing a coil and don't dry burn so as to keep oxidisation to a minimum. New coils taste better as well.. Now that I have sussed out increased airflow makes the temp control on the DNA40 behave (still to get the S-kit to open up the Kayfun V4) I thought I'd see if the claims of less gunking with this board are true. I loaded a SquapeR and the kayfun up with HoL Guevara that has been steeping since last October, this is hardcore in all senses, with kanthal I change the coils daily if not twice daily. Both were contact coils about 0.17ohms and both produced a fantastic vape at 380f 10w, it was rich and flavourful, very intense. Over the tank full on both atties this intensity subsided into a much thinner vape coinciding with TP kicking in. I gradually increased the temp to 440f to compensate for this loss of intensity and maintain the power. The flavour was still unchanged just less of it if you know what I mean. With Kanthal the intensity and flavour change, gradually getting more of a harshness to it until a change of coil is called for or I'm just wasting juice. All in all, personally I don't think the DNA40 extends the life of a coil in terms of gunking, but maybe I can vape for a little longer due to it tasting better, albeit not a particularly satisfying vape. Here are the two coils after about 5-6mls and just over 1day vaping on each: I've recoiled both of them with spaced coils this time to see if there is any difference to the contact coils I used before.

Thanks for the detailed reply @scooby
"New coils taste better" I thought I was starting to taste the wire but wasn't sure.
Looks like I need to choose an atty with replacement ni200 coils for my busy/lazy days.

@letsavit I have a Mini Nautilus and use the 0.3ohm heads in that but at £13 for 5 it would workout a bit pricy to use them with most of my juices. I may put that atty up on the pay it forward thread to get that going again so keep an eye out.
You'll notice that the Squape coil fared better than the Kayfun with respect to gunking, could that be due to the much airier draw on the Squape?
I've been vaping the Squape with a spaced coil today and reckon there is an improvement as there has been little drop in flavour or intensity, and I haven't had a TP warning. The heat is less concentrated than on a contact coil and that may help in terms of longevity. I'll see how it goes tomorrow and do a comparison.

@scooby im working on the theory at the moment that spaced coils stop the juice pooling and it drains back onto the wick before the next vape. less juice sitting on the coil when pre boost (think that's what it called, can't remember at the moment) cuts in = less burnt juice/build up on the coil?
You do look like you're using some thick heavy juices there though...!
Looking for a 4ml or more atty with replacement coils that can constantly run at 12watts. Decent Pre made ni200 coils I would buy straight away too...!
