Hi there Ive been vaping on a kayfun lite v2 for the last 6 months with no problems. Today i recoiled it in the same way as i have always done and wicked it with some cotton and all i am getting is dry hits. I have tried it with less and a bit more cotton but still dry hits. If anyone has any suggestions on what i can try next it would be much appreciated. Thanks for looking gordy

Dry hits is normally too much cotton but hard to know without seeing your build. The only advice I will say is make sure the juice channel is completely clear, that will allow liquid to come up, unimpeded, and saturate that wick. As a fix on the fly, if you feel like its getting dryer, cover the air hole and give a good suck on the drip tip, should pull a load of juice into the chamber and get you going. Good luck bud.

Have you been vaping outside? Vaping in the cold thickens the juice.

Think ill go rip the coil out and start again ill report back when ive done it.

sometimes after finishing and testing your coil, it does seem (and is) working fine, but when you place the barrel it "moves" the cotton to the channels...
what i usually do, when i get things like that, is to drop some juice, place the chimney and start vaping... if i get no dry hit after the 5th-6th vape, everything is ok...
