I was watching some youtube video tonight, i think Grim Green, and he used some juice on the coil before threading the silica, that lubs the coil

Thanks guys. The pulling through idea did occur to me, but didn't even think of using floss. Will definitely try that.

I all my struggling last night, messed up my nice coil. LOL! Popped the old one in, but getting almost no cloud out of it. Could it be that it made a short on the base, as I might have pushed it down onto the base when pushing down the wick

Nice new tutorial here: http://www.ecigssa.co.za/threads/kayfun-lite-build.6148/
And you need not use twisted 30g, your 28g untwisted will also do the trick.
LOL. First thread I read this morning. Will try it as soon as I get out of this workshop!
VERY NICE IS THAT 26g WIRE?

Can't beat the feeling of building your own coils hey
Nope. Especially if the third try is so successfulCan't beat the feeling of building your own coils hey
Don't know if you've watched this yet, RipTrippers build 2 coils in this video, give the first one a tryNope. Especially if the third try is so successful

Nope, haven't yet. I recognise the still from my searches. Will definitely have a look, thanks!
so i was bored at home on monday, and decided to try some stuff
30g kanthal straightened out as per rip trippers
the twisted them using the drill
installed on the russian and glowing nicely
all wicked and juiced up
vapes pretty decent, should have gone lower on the ohms though, but none the less, its a lekker vape

Too many videos, too little time
.Guys, I am doing something wrong with my Kayfun clone refills. Every third or so refill I manage to not "equalise" the unit properly and get juice leaking out the filler hole and air screw. I watched some videos showing to turn upside down, then fully screwing in the top, etc. So somewhere I am screwing it up every now and again How far do you have to screw in the top before turning it upside down?
I love this thing, but had to revert to my PT2 tank tonight while out, cause I had juice all ober the place
And once used to my own coil in the Kayfun, the commercials are sssooooo disappointing

Juice coming out of the air hole could be because your coil is to close to the deck, try lifting it a little. Also make sure that you have a finger on the air hole when you have the top cap off to fill with juice, when the juice is in replace the top by screwing it on about a third of the way, then flip it over and screw it all the way making sure your finger is blocking the air hole until the top cap is on all the way.Guys, I am doing something wrong with my Kayfun clone refills.

Those pinhole juice filling ports tend to leak, I plug mine on the inside of the tank with a toothpick. Just push a section of toothpick in there, make sure it's a tight fit and chop the end off with a sharp knife. Here you can see the plugged hole:

Ok, so maybe I screw the top in too far. Will check the coil, and probably plug he filler hole, don't use it in any case
Thanks @BumbleBee

You'll get the hang of it soon enough, top filling becomes second nature.
Yip I've seen two vids where the persons specifically say don't tighten all the way before you flip and equalise.
Me too, but not sure how far to close it
Will try all the advice above and see what happens
Ok, I'm using different clones from you guys. but maybe this will be of help to @LandyMan
To get rid of a gurgle on the kayfun, you want to put a cloth, or paper towel, over the airhole, and then tilt it mouth piece down, and blow, untill it stops spitting juice out( don't get any juice in your eyes, it stings) you have to tilt it with the mouth piece facing down, otherwise you'll simply blow all the juice in the tank out of the air hole.
I'd strongly advise using cotton as your wicking medium in the kayfun, i've found it to be a lot more noob friendly with regards to gurgling.
My second recommendation, is to utterly disregard RipTrippers method of wicking the kayfun, on every occasion i've tried that, it has leaked, without fail. Rather, stuff your wick till it touches the bottom of the well (man that sounds bad). make sure its covering the juice channels. it'll take some trial and error,for you to know how much cotton to use, and how tightly to pack it. but. your leaking issues will be a thing of the past.
