Too much cotton and the coil to close to the deck causes leaks. 1 ohm coils on the kayfun for me is the best vape. I strictly vape kayfuns as to me it is the best. My current way to set it up is 10 wraps on 1.2mm bit 2mm above the air hole with just enough cotton to touch the deck. No dry hits no leaks. Too much cotton causes dry hits as it inhibits the wicking. Less is more with kayfuns.
Do you also have the 4 channel one?
We're kinda trying to figure out why they made the 4 channeled one in the first place. Seems like they messed with a proven recipe...
Cool thanks TylerD and CVS. Yeah that makes sense, I'll do 1.5mm next time.
Practice makes perfect. It does take time to learn how much you need. Each coil will be different and each RBA will be different.I love doing the coils, but getting that cotton wick done rightgeez I battle with that for ages, hopefully I'll get the hang of using just the right amount at some stage.
Agreed. You've purchased some Glycerin BP right? Try rubbing one or two drops onto your fingers when twisting your wick. It gets slightly saturated and strengthens for when you thread it through the coil.
I do have some glycerin and I'll definitely be giving that a try..many thanks
Here is my latest invention! The Jagged mini coil.
26g wrapped with a space round 26g (not to be confused with the Clapton coil)
1.5mm ID
0.9Ohms
5 wraps

Looks awesome, sort of like chainmail. How does it vape?
Thanx guys, vapes good! Lots of vapor! Taste is just good but not awesome! Think its more a wow looking coil than wow tasting coil, gotta get me some 30g and 32 g and try again.
So in my whole time of vaping i've now built a grand total of 3 coils without someone coming to the rescue, rebuilt the kayfun lite plus just now with 28g kanthal , wanted 1.3 ohms but got 1.4 and this is how it looks (2mm id ) and just a little bit wonky :0
Also struggling with the 4-channel Kayfun. First build flooding, second build dry-hits and third build wicking sort of OK but with gurgling/low vapour/low flavour.
Anyone found the magic recipe yet?

I don't have an answer for you guys, but I have had zero problems with my 4-channel Kayfun. A little gurgling which I sorted out by opening the air-control screw more. My build is pretty much a stock standard build as shown by Rip Trippers. The only real issue I had was when I made the wick too short and thin and started getting dry hits, but that was my fault.
I'll take pics when I re-wick.

My first twisted coil using .3mm (29G) and .2mm (32G) using a 1.5mm mandrel @ 1.1ohm. Sorry about the focus, but it's late and I got tired of messing around with the AF on my iphone.
btw, she really gives a massive throat hit, I almost passed out on the first go

Haha, not as easy as the Reo hey!
Looks beautiful, like a piece of jewelry.
Damn that is a cool coil! You rock!
Does not look wonky to me.
Give this man a "Coil Master" medal! He deserves it!
