Kayfun Lite Plus

After my Kayfun 3.1 clone I bought from @VapeKing "attacked" me at the last vape meet and made me lie down on the couch with a MASSIVE NIC BUZZ, it has been sitting quietly for about a month and has not seen any action at all. I was too scared. It also leaked at the vape meet and had a strange taste. So I just left it.

But after seeing @Rob Fisher's adventures I decided there is no excuse, I need to get the Kayfun going. It's not a Lite Plus, just the normal 3.1. Don't ask me exactly what the differences are. They look fairly similar to me. I will post my Kayfun adventure here even though this is a Kayfun Lite thread. Hope no-one minds

Thank you all for your posts here. It has inspired me to get it going.

I have disassembled and all the parts have received their first Sunlight wash. I will give it a second wash now. One or two of the parts still have a slight machine oil smell to them.

Thanks for the RipTripper coil building video - was very good. I intend starting on the first standard horizontal coil he built.

My only concern at this stage is how to fill this thing correctly. RipTripper didn't show that. I know if you fill it incorrectly it will leak all over the place, like it did at the vape meet. (Which incidentally, I find strange since there were experienced folk putting it together and filling it for me).

I know @Tom and I think @Tornalca previously mentioned the top filling procedure with holding the air hole and turning it upside down etc. But does anyone know of a good Youtube video that shows it to you?

Will let you all know how it proceeds and hopefully how it vapes when I get it going...

Go Silver! We are all watching with great anticipation.

....which is now a famous move "doing a Silver" :D

You guys are champions. What would I do without you?

Thanks for the videos @TylerD and @Matthee. I will review them very carefully since they come from you.

@Tom, you are right about "doing a Silver" - lets see what happens ;-) If you dont hear from me, you know I am on my bed (no need for the couch, since I am at home - public holiday today here in SA)

@Gizmo, thanks for the support!

Here's the thing. I actually have a bit of a dilemma. My wife has gone away for the long weekend with her mother. So I have the perfect opportunity to build coils and vape - in bliss. However, I am WAAAAAYYYYY behind on some important work. I need to put in mega hours. So this weekend can just save me.

This is torture.
So I am going to ration myself - some work and then some vaping as a reward.

So, this is my plan. Its now about 12h00. The Kayfun parts have had their 2nd wash and their vodka bath. I have set them out to dry. I am gonna work like a demon till about 6pm if I can - and then I am going to reward myself with a vaping evening all to myself.

Can't wait...
 
Dying to hear the feedback? I suspect @Rob Fisher may be in a self induced menthol nic coma by now?
 
cant wait for your pic's tonight @Silver. I would recommend starting maybe at 1.5ohms or so and see how you like it and adjust from there. believe it or not my kayfun is built to around 1.7ohms with a 30g micro coil

Right

I'm back at the vaping station. Work for the day has been done. A bit later than my original 6pm target.

Kayfun parts have dried. Vodka evaporated.

Thanks @Cape vaping supplies for the suggestion and pic. I will see what I come up with.

I am sooooo excited.......
 
I just need to prepare something else to vape while I am working on the Kayfun.... my tanks are all empty.

Standby...

;-)

My biggest issue too @Silver, but I try and work fast. :D Hope you get it dialled in. Sounds like the Kayfun can be tricky?
 
It can be very tricky at first, but you learn fast, and I think compared to building a Genesis or a hybrid style atomiser it is much simpler.

Hardest part for me is getting the screws to hold the legs of the coil firmly. If you over tighten the screws it can push the legs out, and if you don't tighten enough when you heat and pinch the coil it can go all over the place.
 
Thanks - don't think this will be fast - its my first time ;-)
Trusty VM Choc Mint on a PT2Mini and fresh MVP to keep me company through the exercise.
 
Parts are clean

Just a question, is there supposed to be a seal just above the threads at the base of the chimney?
(See red arrow in picture below)
There wasn't one in the package, neither does there seem to be one mentioned in the instruction manual?

my original kayfun and russian didnt have those but the clones I have does

Nope, no seal there on the KF 3.1 @Silver . Your parts all look clean and ready for assembly.

Often wondered why there is no seal there myself, since the tank works on a vacuum feeding system

Take your time, and watch RipTrippers if things get really hard.

Watching @TylerD at the vape meet gave me 80% of it, and watching Rip was the final technique polish I needed after I had tried a few myself
 
Thanks guys - I feel better
 
Sh1t, @devdev, I see what you saying about the screws not holding the tails.
I have been trying for about 30 mins.
Can't get them to hold

These screws are so damn tiny - I mean really, are these guys for real?
They are also not very strong - they wobble a bit and don't grip the damn coil.

I am going to take a break for a few minutes, wipe the sweat off my forehead. Have a vape of something else - and try again soon...

Really, really frustrated.
 
Also, one of the poles (don't know if its pos or neg) - the bigger one - started swivelling around.
Is that normal?

Starting to have serious doubts about this device.

Sorry guys for all those that love the Kayfun ;-)
 
Yip, buggered up one of those screws the other day. The spare screw was actually better.

Try putting 2 tiny washers through each screw, then place your wire between the 2 washers then tighten, the washers would act like a clamp.

P.S. Another forum member (cant remember who) came up with that idea, just thought it might be of use here as well.

That post block is fastened by the air hole screw. Either broken or just loose.
 
Thanks @BhavZ

That is a really good suggestion. I do recall that mentioned before, but didnt think of that now. Thanks for sharing that with a man in desperate need ;-)

Only problem is I don't have any such tiny washers available now.
I swear if the shops were open now, I would get in my car and drive for 30 mins to get it!

LOL

@Matthee, thanks - I will see if the spare screw is any better. Appreciate that advice.
