here it goes...
after 2 days of leaks and teaks finally got the build spot on.
DUAL COIL BUILD
using 28 guage coil wire. i did 10 wraps around a 15 gauge needle. heat it up with a torch and pressed it together.
second coil exactly the same
next i mount the coils side by side . the important part to note here is that the coils are both 3 to 4mm above the hole.
next i thread the cotton through. making sure that no cotton touches the top of the base where the coils are mounted. also i run the cotton into the grooves on the side where the juice is meant to come through. wet ur cottonw ith some juice. this acts as an adhsive to keep everything in place.

next you close your chimney. feel it through. mae sure no cotton is caught in the thread.
once you tank is all tightly put together bottom fill your tank. do not keep the air hole closed. this wont allow the juice to flow through. tightly close the screw and then vape on...

AT 0.5OHM this vape is super hot. throat hit is hard. chest hit is wow!


SINGLE COIL BUILD
i did a single coil build using a 20 guage needle and 10 wraps. thread the cotton through. then split the cotton into 2 so that there is a piece to go into both grooves where the juices comes into the chimney. rolled a tiny bit of cotton into a ball and filled the gap between the two seperated strands.
produces 1.6ohm and vapes awesome.
 
Awesome, great tutorial for all the 4 channel Kayfuns. You cannot be a "noob vaper" with that. Please change your title under Personal Details in the menu under your name top right.

Awesome @Marzuq. Thanks for this my 4 channeled Kayfun friend :).

For other's reference, a 15 gauge needle is 1.8mm in diameter and a 20 gauge is 0.9mm.

I did actually close my air hole when I filled from the bottom. Cool tip!

Instead of the extra cotton ball could we not try to increase the wick length and lay them down at 90 degree angles into that extra space on the deck? I'll try that and report back.

Nice post yo!
 
FYI...

i elliminated the whistling noise on my kayful lite by turn the airflow screw all the way in and then turning it back open between 1/4 and 1/2 a turn.
the pull is a bit tighter but the whistling noise is gone and all u hear is a suction noise

You can also fix that by removing the screw completely.
 
Hi Guys, Here is my take at the double barrel. 28guage Kantol 10 wraps each on a 1.25mm bit running 0.6ohm

Each hit is like little angels farting on my taste buds on that kayfun... Spectacular... Still lacking production of my IGO-L tho... Hehehe
Lacks the throat hit though as it has none. Hehehe
 
Nicely done. I did that setup for awhile but found it not that great hey ultimately the single Coil works better on the kayfun. But nevertheless I want to try your build to compare

I use to vape on the single coil 32 gauge but does not have the flavour.
Have not tried the 28 gauge yet though.
 
I did a 30G for the double barrel

As are yours @Smokyg!

Not so much about finding one's vaping nirvana for me as much as a curiosity to experiment and pride in a well made coil/wick setup.
 
Ok so I was working on this coil today, I call it The Hetfield Coil as in James Hetfield from Metallica and its basically a variation of The Clapton Coil.

First one was a mess up, tried to fit it in the Trident and the slots is just to thin to fit this, then I stripped the stainless mesh and outer kanthal off and fitted it on the KF and it worked badly giving me a reading of 1.8 ohms. Takes forever to heat up, couldnt get it to glow at all, no vapour. So I tried again, this time not stripping the ends and rather just take my leather man and squeezed the ends to make it thin, got it to fit on the Trident. on a 1mm id this coil is still a monster and the trident is really hard to get this coil to fit in, when you put the cover on it touches the coil so it was moving that coil around till it didnt touch! Recommend to use this on bigger drippers like as @CraftyZA told me maybe something like a Helios.

So its 26g wrapped in stainless mesh, then almost like the clapton you spin 26g around the stainless mesh while keeping a space between each wrap.

5 wraps
1mm ID
came out to 0.4 Ohms
vapes like monster
TH is way to much (will work awesome on 100vg zero nic)
vapor is WOW

This makes totally sense I've been doing similar but with a bench power supply instead of battery:

 
Did a tripple coil in the ithaka to play with some juice.
1st up, some 5p queenside
