Kayfun Mini V3 dry hits

[quincey43]

I have 3 Mini V3's and just one of them keeps giving me dry hits, yuk!! I have a 1.2ohm coil and 50/50 juice. Yesterday I took the base off and the cotton was nearly dry, anyone have any idea what is happening and a fix for it, oh and yes I have opened the juice flow! The others are working fine so don't understand what is going on.

I have two V2 clones...same principle and my wife who has just started using them burns the cotton in the centre of the coil at the moment. Every 2 to 3 days.

Think she sometimes forgets to turn the tank back the best part of 2 full turns after re-fill. Once the cotton has burnt to some extent I reckon flow thru will drop and the taste becomes burnt/dry anyway.

It has to be flow through for reason above specifically or the juice is not getting to the wick ends adequately....for any other reason. Its a simple device with a lot of holes in for juice.

Blocked air flow would be immediately apparent...just blocked on inhale.

quincey43, as you have two others working we can rule out wicking etc, so it's possibly due the pressure system not feeding juice.

I would check that all the o-rings are positioned correctly. One of my v3's arrived where the upper deck column o-ring (the one that sits below the deck and just above the 4 juice holes on the central column) had slipped down and was sitting in the juice hole groove and covering up the 4 juice holes. It was a g*t to get out as well and I ended up tearing it and having to use a new one. It's been fine since though.

If they are all in the correct place then I would consider replacing them one by one with spares from the spares pack (starting with the two on the deck column first). Also, I always lube the two deck column o-rings with a little juice after a re-wick as it was suggested to do so on the Svoe website to help the juice flow system work.

Good luck and hope you can fix the problem.

I will check the air flow, thanks.

I will try changing the o-rings and see if that makes a difference, it's frustrating when all my others are good and I can't actually see anything wrong but will try as you say and fingers crossed!
