Kayfun Lite Plus

And that, Sir, translates to around 18 W of power on a fresh battery. Watch out for the Silver syndrome:)

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!
Awesome @Silver ! I'm so glad you dusted the Nemi and Kayfun off.
Enjoy them alot!
 
Ok I'm back home

My friend (non-vaper, non-smoker) thinks I'm crazy. I think I scared his wife off. She is a smoker and was quite curious about the vaping thing. I didnt go visit to explain to her about vaping, my friend wanted me to show him what my vaping is all about. Anyway, she took one look at my mobile laboratory with all my tools and the headlamp and she said "this is not for me". @Rob Fisher - I needed you there to help me with the conversion process ;-)

Downloading a photo.
Standby.

@Matthee, I am fully aware of the 18 Watts and the potential Silver syndrome ;-)
Am rationing my puffs.

@TylerD, thanks man - also glad I dusted the Nemi off. It's firing fine.
 
Man you are making me itch for a mech..

OK the first mistake you made was to show them the mobile laboratory... all you should have shown them was a mPT2 on a Spinner or eGo-C Twist and that's it... secondly did you tell her she stinks? You always open with "You Stink"!

After that you tell them you have been a smoker for over 40 years and have tried everythinig and nothing worked until you found the Vaping World.

Then you tell them you no longer snore, don't cough anymore and that your wife or girlfriend now puts out a lot more because you longer stink!

And you end off with the sentence "Vaping is a life changer"! :p
 
Love the recipe Rob, need to give that a try.. although the wife part will be a lie (don't have a wife).
 
Rob, you legend!

From now on folks, this will be called "doing a Rob Fisher". Pulling no punches. And convincing the audience that "vaping is a life changer".
 
Here are the pictures.

The first one is of "my special 0.95 ohm coil". Nothing actually special about it other than that it was my first 1 ohm coil and that it came out exactly where I wanted it to on the first try. 6 wraps, 28g Kanthal, approx 1.5mm ID. I wrapped the coil legs around the screw. Worked again. This time without much frustration ;-)

1ohm build on Kayfun.jpg
All wicked, lubed and ready for Kayfun assembly. This is actually mounted on the SVD, not the Nemesis. While putting each part on, I test fire - and I thought its better to have the SVD since it's protected in the case of a short.

Interestingly, the SVD did fire at 0.95 ohms. I had it set to 13 Watts.

Here is the Kayfun mounted on the Nemesis mech mod.

Kayfun on Nemesis.jpg
A delightful Silver combination. Except for the black plastic tip ;-)

The vape on it is good. Very good
Bowdens Mate tastes amazing.
But this thing is a major juice hog. I put in about 2.5 ml and I haven't really vaped much on it - I think its nearly empty now.

Next up....

IGO-L versus Kayfun shootout.
 
@Silver how would you rate the nemesis? Have you had any concerns/issues with it? Looking at getting a mech mod so any info would be greatly appreciated
 
@Gizmo

Many moons ago, you asked me how was the Kayfun and the Nemesis you guys sold to me.

I was quite scared of it after what happened at the Vape Meet - and was irritated that it leaked at the meet. So I left it on the vaping rack and dodged answering you.

Now I can answer you and say - thanks for selling me such fine devices. They work like a charm. Still got work to do in order to refine I suppose, but for 2 builds I am happy where its at.

@BhavZ, if you give me a little bit of time - I am going to test out the IGO-L against the Kayfun. I intend posting something later this evening. I will also include some of my thoughts on the Nemesis as initial impressions.... I am nowhere near doing a proper review on it.

Thanks man, appreciate it.
 
OK I thought I would have another go at the Kayfun Lite Plus and I trimmed the wick a bit and seated everything nicely and unscrewed the filler screw and put in some Menthol Ice... put it on the SVD and fired it up... Gurgle Gurgle and juice pouring out of the air hole and juice everywhere again... :mad:

About to throw it into the gorge when I think let me try find the metal tank ring and replace the plastic one... found it under the desk... clean up and refill... OK this is about a thousand times better... the plastic tank is absolutely useless and should be tossed when you open the package. Still a little bit of leaking but it maybe left overs from the last event... but the vape is so much better... there is little doubt that the Kayfun causes the flavour to be enhanced and the throat hit a lot more...

But this is not a carry device by any manner or means and only really to be played with when I have seventeen bog rolls handy along with a basin and towels and a small briefcase full of tools.

I will persevere with it but for now I'm really happy with my Nautilus which provides the perfect vape for me. I think the REO system is about 4 million times better.
 
Vapour is below what I'm used to. But I don't really care about that.
if u position the coil a little lower then on the posted pic, u will have more vapor production. about 1-1.5mm above the airhole is doing the trick ;)
my setup is always at 1.5-1.6 ohms, so that I can use it on the SVD. And it just works like a steam engine.
 
Lovely - thanks Tom
Does higher up give more throat hit and lower down give more flavour/vapour?
 
It has a face though.. I assume you noticed that :p

@Rob Fisher . did you check that the plastic tank had an o-rings on both thread ends?? when i got the Rocket(very similar to the Kayfun) @SVS1000 told me that the plastic tank piece leaked balls. but i found that it only had 1 o-ring on 1 side. took the one of the metal tank piece and a-presto...no more leaking...
 
Yes it did have. But I think the plastic tank is ever so slightly bigger and the chimney doesn't fit as snug as it should.


Sent from my Nautilus filled with VM Menthol Ice.
 
And since we are talking Kayfun over here. Can anyone tel me what the difference is between the Lite and the 3.1ES??

As I have it in my head:
  1. Kayfun 3.1 - Large bottom part. Filling port on the side of the bottom part. Difficult to fill via the filling port. Can be filled from the top with a certain technique. Has air flow control. Tallest and heaviest of the lot.
  2. Kayfun Lite - Much shorter bottom part. No airflow control. Filling port on the side of bottom part. Quite a bit shorter than the 3.1.
  3. Kayfun Lite Plus - As the Lite in size, but now has airflow control and a filling screw on the underside of the bottom part. Much easier to fill.
