Kayfun Lite Plus

I see there is a couple of differences between these. the one that stands out the most is the fact that it has 4 wicking channel vs 2 on all others

Also, not sure if this is the case in all versions, but the positive centre pin is not adjustable.

Sharp, probably be an improvement.

Or it might be a a big problem.

Too much juice is going to flood that deck and push it into the chimney. Also the air pressure might change.
Let's wait and see if this works out. Maybe I'm just over analyzing it. :D
 
im sure they work gizmo sold a few and I dont think they had flooding issues. I could maybe just maybe foresee flooding with a juice like liqua or similar viscosity

No flooding issues on my KFL+ from Gizmo yet in the couple of hours I have used it.

Is a gurgle now and again, but you can 'sneeze' this out of the airhole and then it's good to go.

Only downside is the whistling sound - can drive you to drink
 
To get rid of whistling - take a 1.5mm diameter drill bit and "reem" out the air vent, I went down about 2.5mm into the air vent and whistling gone (at my air intake setting).

Brilliant that there's a solution. I'll wait 16 days though... you can show me exactly what to do, I don't want to mess this up.
 
@Riaz hold KFL+ so the air hole faces straight down towards the ground. Place a tissue loosely across the hole, and blow firmly but not hard. The liquid should flow out of the hole and into the tissue. After 2 or 3 puffs into the atomiser its good to go again

Turn you KF upside down (drip tip facing downwards) now blow into the drip tip and excess juice will bubble out of air vent

thanks, will give this a try, as well as this

Went to an engineering shop and asked them if I can have 5min on one of their precision drill presses. Clamp the KF horizontally into the drill press vice. Set the drills peed to maximum (using a lot of bulls-milk) and slowly drilled out the KF air vent (the one 90 degrees off the adjusting screw). Drilled a few nm and test, went on until no more whistling. My clone KF came with a 1.2mm diameter air vent - just choose a drill bit size bigger than the original size.
 
guys check your wick placement. I have never ever had a gurgle with my clone or the original kayfuns and rissians

this is how my wick lays and never ever a gurgle

The only time I had a gurgle was the very first time I used it by blocking the air vent with my finger and sucked to wet the wick. I agree with @Cape vaping supplies - if the wicking placement is not correct you will have gurgling.
 
I had a bit of flooding and gurgling on the first build, turns out I packed the cotton a bit too tight. Rewicked it with a bit less cotton and it worked beautifully.

I did exactly the same on my first build. Once you get the right amount of cotton figured out it works like a dream.
 
OK I finally sat down and opened the new tool box...

A few issues worth noting...

  • The lighted magnifying glass thingy is going to be a MUST have... I nearly went blind trying to see things...
  • Also an Ohm Meter stand is also a MUST... I dropped nearly everything on the floor trying to keep stable.
  • Also the Windmill lighter is no good and the button heats up and that too has to be threw into the air and away from ones paw to avoid third degree burns. Stealing ones daughters creme brulee lighter is the way forward.
  • Also you need calm music in the background because you need to be steady handed and not bop and weave to Lily Allen singing "Hard Out There".
OK the little screw driver seemed to be the easiest to start with and I made a nice coil... but after heating it up and getting it all neat and tidy and having a go at putting it onto the screws the wire broke right by the coil so that was a bust... let's start again and go gently and slowly!

Not too bad hey Nigel?

OK trying to put it onto the screws was a nightmare... I need that magnifying glass thingy real bad and battled for some time but eventually got it on.

Amperage reading 1,2!

Let's fire this bad boy up! Nice glow, looking good!

OK I need to practice making the wick because mine ended up thick on one side and fat on the other but by now I was eager to fill and fire it up!

The U-Can was a big win... highly recommended for the Kayfun filling hole! Screw it back onto the SVD and let's rock and roll!

It worked! I'm a master coil maker!

Actually that was a bit of a lie and I need to now go back and try make a better wick and maybe a wider coil for a thicker wick.

How did it taste I hear you all screaming? How was the vape? How was the flavour?

Actually Oooodles and Oooodels of vapour! Great in fact! Flavour wasn't as good as my Nautilus but I think that's because I have a really KAK wick!

But I have to say there is some immense satisfaction from making ones own coil and I will experiment a lot more.

I think the REO is a lot easier to operate and makes considerable sense now I see how easy it is to replace the little bottle and wick in the REO compared to the Kayfun.

I used VM Menthol Ice (Oh what a surprise) just so I could compare apples with apples!

Bottom Line: A lot of PT and hassle but love the fact I need about a million rands worth of tools and equipment and have all sorts of stuff to impress the hell out of people with my in-depth skills and knowledge of advanced vaping. I also appreciate all the ramblings in the threads I never used to really read and can now go back an appreciate the coil making stuff threads!

I have to say apart from the noise the Kayfun makes when drawing in.. the vape is pretty damn good and I look forward to the improvements as I learn the trick of this trade!

Buying the Kayfun Lite Plus and all the paraphernalia that goes with it was a big win!

A special thanks to @Matthee who pushed me to take this step.
 
That is a awesome coil for a first time - congrats. On the Kayfun it is should rotate 45 to 90 degrees from where you have it, makes wicking easier as well. The secret with cotton is not too much. The ID looks thick enough for me.
 
well done rob clearly you are a master coilbuilder

Awesome @Rob Fisher ! That is a master coil!!!
When twisting the wick, it must move with a bit of resistance, not too much, and not too little.
You will get the hang of the wicking in no time.
Great job!
 
Rob, that was probably even more enjoyable for me to read
Full marks!
Big clap from my side....

You are now officially a coiler.

I am sure the others will give you advice on how to perfect it so you get the vape you want.

All the best.
