Kayfun Lite Plus

Whoa mama!!!!!!

!!!
 
No, I was meticulous with the video @Matthee posted on the filling procedure.

Photo and a paragraph coming up
 
Finally

Vaping at 13 Watts

Bliss.jpg

Oh my goodness.

Throat hit is really good!!!!!!!!!!! - I'd say on par with the dripper

Flavour is superb. The same as the dripper. But its slightly different. It may even be slightly better. Can't decide. Doesnt matter. Its good. Bowden's Mate, you beauty!

Vapour is below what I'm used to. But I don't really care about that.

And I have half a tank of juice - I don't need to drip. That is amazing! I am free!

Thanks guys for all the help. Really made a BIG difference.

This Kayfun is FUN now!

Loving it.
 
It's midnight and you lot stayed with me the whole way.
Thanks guys!
Hugely appreciated.
 
KF3.1, SVD, Black flat drip tip, home made coil.

Its like you have my setup!

Well done @Silver it gets better from here onwards :D
 
Nice Silver. Surprised you saying it isn't chucking the vapour. They really do when setup 100% :)
 
Many thanks @devdev and @Matthee

Yes, those plastic drip tips are the berries for me.

By the way - about 20 puffs or so - and I have quite a nic buzz.
Not approaching doing a "Silver" yet but I am feeling it.

And on 12mg 5Pawns juice. Amazing.

I suppose I don't get the same nic buzz on the dripper since I usually take about 7 or 8 puffs then put it down. I seldom do concurrent drip sessions.

This Kayfun is quite wicked. I see what you guys mean. And now I understand why those using it as an ADV go down to 9mg and 6mg

Whoa, am a bit dizzy while typing this...
LOL

Gonna give it a break now

Thanks all
 
The only way to run the kayfun is to vape and vape and vape constantly till you pass out .then when you wake up you feel better and you can start again ...

Thanks @Rowan Francis ;-)

Not passed out yet. Have been pacing myself.

Ok, a couple of observations after about 2 ml of juice vaped on the Kayfun.

- it's a juice hog. I'm nearly finished the partial tank. Feels like I've only taken a few puffs.

- there is a very slight strange aftertaste I have in my mouth. Not something I am used to with Bowdens Mate on the IGO-L dripper. When I exhale now (not vaping) just normally exhaling through the nose, I get a strange synthetic sort of taste. It's not strong, but very light. I wonder if that has to do with the Kayfun itself or just the last remnants of machine oil working their way through my olfactory system ;-) ?

- I tried reducing the power from 13 Watts to 10 Watts, thinking it would be way less satisfying. Strangely, it is quite satisfying with a slightly longer draw. Still get a nice throat hit. Not as much as 13 Watts, but not much less. Is it my nic buzz? Am I imagining it?

Ok, time for bed.
 
No not necessarily oil remains . In between my rockets kayfun aqua steam turbine and Crown dripper . The different coils and the way they have been wicked . Each one with same joose needs a different wattage and each one gives a slightly different spin to the joose .. so the thing is to find the sweet spot and vape on ...

Thanks Rowan. I will continue experimenting.

My only other rebuildable I've tried is the IGO-L dripper. So I am a novice and picking up the different tastes of the different tanks and coil builds. I need to test more.
 
Finally

We're in business

View attachment 2331

Came out at 1.46 ohms. 28g Kanthal
Don't ask me how many wraps - I went for about 8 - but in all the drama of trying to get it on the screws, I was winding and rewinding the end wraps occasionally.... It looks like 10 wraps in the photo.

Just so glad the screws held it.

Burning and tweezing done.

Out with the cotton.
thats a freaking neat 1st coil @Silver well done!

Well done @Silver ! It can be tricky to get it right but when you do it's very rewarding. Took mine apart yesterday to rebuild it again and this time it took 3 builds to get it right. Always struggling with trapping the wire under that little damn screw and messing up the coil in the process! I'm sure I'll figure out the trick eventually.

Enjoyed reading this... thanks @Silver

Well done on such a neat coil

When you attaching the wire to the screws, take the wire around clockwise. That way when you tighten, the wire moves closer to the screw instead of away from.

Awesome stuff @Silver ! Glad you started that Kayfun up again. A really nice atty!
I must say, having an original and then the clone, I have found the clone to be more fiddly than the original.
The original just works! No screws that don't grip. Also getting that catch cup back is a big issue I found on the 3.1
So, you did really well on the Kayfun!
Word of advice. Do not carry the Kayfun on a bumpy road. In a golfcart, even the original leaks.
Next stop the Reo @Silver ! It is the easiest atty to rebuild and it doesn't leak on the golf cart! :D

I have done the wires clockwise from the beginning, but I now do it anti-clockwise. It is as if the wires catch easier for me. I know clockwise makes more sense, but anti works for me.
 
Many thanks @TylerD

I appreciate the words. Ya, am glad I got it going. I suppose one should buy the originals - I recall that was what @RevnLucky7 always said. Quite ironic how one buys the clone just to test the device, but it can put one off the device altogether.

Thanks for the leak warning @TylerD. I won't be carrying my SVD/Kayfun combo around in any event. In 18650 mode, it measures a whopping 22cm tall! It will remain perched upright at home.

See the pic below. The difference in size between the devices is quite startling!
KayfunSVD versus other devices.jpg

The pic shows what a beast the SVD/Kayfun combo is against the Vision Spinner with a mPT2, the MVP with mPT2 as well and the Twisp with Auto Battery (which is slightly smaller than the manual battery).

As for the clockwise vs. anti-clockwise thing, thanks @ShaneW
I saw RipTripper actually does it anti-clockwise.
I tried his method many times and just couldn't get it right. So I switched things around and did it clockwise. I also just sommer wrapped the whole coil around the screw. It worked first time that way.

I suppose this has to do with the clone screws. There are holes in both the post decks on my Kayfun 3.1. Not sure if anyone uses those instead of trying to wrap around the screw. Is that advisable? Or will the wire then obstruct the cotton?

Anyhow, I am pleased and happy about the whole thing. Still need to try a few other juices and test the Kayfun more to see if that strange slight aftertaste I get goes away.
 
Nice Silver. Surprised you saying it isn't chucking the vapour. They really do when setup 100% :)

Hey @Gizmo, sorry man, I missed that post of yours last night amidst my nic buzz and excitement ;-)

I took a few more puffs this morning and last night I was also experimenting with the air flow control screw. I tightened the draw and heard how the whistling changes pitch. Then I loosened a bit. I need to still adjust more. I noticed the different settings do affect the vapour.

I may have been a bit hasty saying the vapour was below average. I did get a few puffs with a lot of vapour. But not like on RipTripper's video, waving it away because you can't see etc. But good vapour. Also, I noticed RipTripper takes a quick puff first, then a much longer puff. I generally take medium length puffs.

All I'm saying is that the vapour didn't jump out at me as a major notable thing. In my first few puffs it felt like it was lower vapour than I would have expected for the flavour and TH I was getting...
 
@Silver do yourself a favour and wrap a 1 ohm coil. I run mine at that and I get into trouble at home with wife cause I make my home look like a night club.

*Edit: I just realised that are using an SVD. Gonna have to get a Mech if you want the Kayfun to perform.
 
Thanks @SVS1000
I will keep that in mind and soldier on.
Next coil I am going to aim for about 1 ohm.

Ny the way, how is that Joyetech RY4? Did you enjoy it?
 
Ok all

Coil building night 2. I am much faster than last night. You were right @devdev

@SVS1000 , i have taken your advice

I built my first 1 ohm coil.
Came out at 0.95 ohms. 6 wraps. About 1.5mm ID. 28g Kanthal.
Into the Kayfun 3.1 clone

I stuck with Five Pawns Bowdens Mate

But this time I put it on my sleeping Nemesis mech mod.

Oh my goodness
Throat hit, flavour. My oh my. Wow
Its really intense indeed.

This is my first self built 1 ohm experience.

Am at a friend so dont have the ability to post my pics of the coil, but i did take a few for sentimental value.

Am loving this so much!!!!!!!!
Thanks forumites for all your help last night!
