Kayfun Lite Help

[danliddle]

Just made my first coil it was reading 2.0 ohms I used jap cotton to whick it and used a 2mm drill bit to wrap my coil but its a nightmare trying to get the cotton through the whick anyway I done everything like on the guides how to builld the kayfun soaked the whick filled it proply just dont seem to be getting a very good drag off it as its very tight not much vapour etc can anyone help ?

To help you we need to know what your Kayfun is attached to. Mech Mod or VV VW box mod and what power setting are you vaping at. The sweet spot for a Kayfun Lite is around 1.4ohms. If you are on 2.0 ohms you would need a bit more power applied to get a decent vape.

Also, how loose is the wick in the coil? If you're using regular cotton wool, you should be able to pull it back and forth through the coil with almost no resistance, it could be that you're strangling your wick?

If it was a wicking fault then surely it would be producing dry hits and a burnt cotton taste, if you not tasting a disgusting burnt taste then it's more than likely an airflow problem, if it's the kfl with adjustable airflow , then adjust the grubscrew to allow more air, if it's the v1 kfl without airflow adjustment then the draw is quite tight anyway , hope this helps

Its starting to P*** is off now as ive done everything in the videos what I've watched and its just leaking out the air hole

[danliddle]

Wasnt producinh much vapour then I've done a 1.4 coil and now when I fill it its just leaking lost about 6ml a juice

You need to check that all the o-rings are in place and doing their job danliddle. I don't have a kfl so maybe someone could help you sort that out?? lairey?

[lairey]

If juice pouring out of the air holes, it sounds like it isn't making a seal properly. Check all O rings are in place, particularly the one in the top cap that the chimney fits into. How are you filling it? Through the bottom or using the top fill method?

[danliddle]

Im filling it throught the top part ive changed the jap cotton for the wick and it is still doing it

[qsplan]

in case you have cotton in the channels is likely to have a leaking...

[danliddle]

What does that mean ?

[lairey]

OK, if you're using the top fill method, are you covering the air holes when you fill, partially close top cap, turn upside down and let go of air holes, let the bubble of air rise and continue to seal the top cap. You will then need to put some tissue over the drip tip and blow through the air holes.

It's generally easier to avoid leaks when filling from the bottom as designed.

I only use Kayfun's & never suffer from leaks.......I use silica wicks & coil them with 2mm wire, using the "Navy coil" method......Works every time.......Cotton, to me, is just a pain in the butt & caused me no end of grief...........

Egsacly what ive been doing its ok for about 5 minutes thats it then just floods out

Sounds like your wick is not over the juice channels so its flooding.
I'll probably be re wicking my kfl tonight if I do I'll get some pics for you.
I use jap cotton and I top fill as well.
