Peter's Vaping Journal

can anyone tell me if using my x-fire spinner battery with the kayfun will cause issues?
its a 1000Mah spinner battery?

what ohm coil is on the kayfun?
 
naa then its not safe buddy

rather refrain from using it on the spinner
thanks guys i will keep the spinner for special occasions for my PT and Aero tank :)

my batteries needs to finish up now, i want to VAAAAAAPPEEEE!
 
Irrespective of the resistance, I would not use it on the spinner. Not a safe battery for a short.
 
I wouldn't try anything lower than 1.6ohms on the spinner Pete.

Realistically 1.5 should be fine, but leave a little lee-way and go for 1.6ohms

You really like wood hey? Wood in hand pose?:D:D:D????
 
hey guys

so i tried the Kayfun 3.1 on the nemesis mod - and honestly, coming from a aero tank on 8W, this is just way too powerfull for me :(

i need to sell the nemesis mod as pure mech mods are not for me.
im gona give the kayfun RBA one more try tonight, as it kept leaking on me last night, if i dont come right i might have to put it up for sale aswell.
 
What ohm coil did you have in there? Might be it was a bit too low for you and building a higher ohm coil could make it work

No, you cannot give up that quickly. A 0.7 ohm coil is too low a resistance to start with. Try the Kayfun around 1.2 ohms. It give wonderful flavour. Am sure some of the members nearby will be prepared to help you.
 
im going to try a 1.7 - 2.0 Ohm coil with silica tonight, i just cant seem to get into cotton.
im gona run it on my MVP as i do not like the mech mod...
i might keep the batteries and charger and next month i'll get a Vamo or SID or some sort of electric mod capable of headlining the Kayfun

no no no @PeterHarris you CANNOT give up this easily

as @Matthee suggested, you need a higher ohm coil.

even with the kayfun, its definitely just a wicking issue thats causing the leaks

quick question, how did you fill the kayfun? and more importantly, how much juice did you fill it up with?
 
it was not a wicking issue, as @Rowan Francis did the coil and wicking, i think it was how i filled it, from the top. Rowan showed me but hell im no pro. so i meesed it up every time, i think im gona get a needle bottle and fill it like a noob haha.
 
ok so i tried all this stuff again

as i only have 32G kanthal this is what i will be using.
so 5 wraps on a 2mm drill comes to 1.5Ohm

hmm, a nice little micro coil, but there is no way im gona fit 3 starnds of silica through that!

.... back to the drawing table, i saw something on youtube...let me try that....

and boom, i just wrapped 5/6 wraps straight onto the silica, so i have no idea what the ID is...and i dont care..:p

it came out to 2.5Ohm bit high, but safe to use on my MVP :)
just look how cute that is :)

and putting that kayfun on the MVP...

hmmm it looks ok, but i'll have to get a SID and some 28G kanthal so i can lower those Ohm's a bit....
but all in all alot better, just what im used to..


please share your thoughts on my franken-coil... its not pretty, but she is a little mother-F'er :)

It's funny you should say that...... I was feeling the same way. A couple of days ago I stuck in a 1.5 Ohm coil in the dripper, dialed down the SVD to 10 watts and closed the airhole a bit (2mm is too big for a single 1.5 Ohm coil). It is now much smoother but a whole night of vaping and my throat is still killer sore the next morning. I am still waiting for my mech so I can give sub-ohm a real shot. Hopefully the people at the post office will let me have it this week still.

Maybe it is just the juice.....or the nic content....maybe an expensive juice is the answer...we will have to see but I will give it a proper shot although I must say vaping a sorted Evod whole day has been bliss (dare I say better than all my mPT2's).....then there is still the Aerotank coming as well as the Aqua.......wish I could have it all done and dusted before the vape meet.....

It may turn out that all I need is an Evod and an MVP.....:wondering::wondering::wondering:????
 
yea, any setup can work for you, i guess it depends on your personal needs and what you feel comfortable with :)

i dont think i can build a nice coil on this kayfun if i want to use the bow-ribbon method with silica - so i'll be known as the franken coil builder hahaha

No man don't sell yourself short. Awesome coils are easy to build with 30G and even easier with 28G. The thicker the wire the easier it is to work with and the more coil surface area you will have for a given ohms value. Also 32G is very "springy" which lower guages do not suffer from. Get the right Kanthal and you will be blown away how easy it is.
 
Peter don't give up. I did the first time I tried the kayfun. I lost a month of great Vaping because of it. I agreed the kayfun will do well on something like a SID at eight watts. That's where I am. I'm not a fan of mech mods yet except with my REO's which I'm close to getting spot on with my coils and wicks. Keep trying with cotton...

i really really dont like the taste of cotton, its too much for me, i prefer the silica.
once i get some 28G ill build a 2mm ID micro coil and use some or other tool to loop 3 strands of silica through it.

edit:
but that being said this franken coil is doing the job for now....not a bad vape at all :)
 
Great. Kayfun sand Russians are the way forward till you get a REO.
