Get this. I roll a micro-coil last night with the new 28ga wire that I just got. Coils looks good (granted, not "Keith" good.
) Slap it into the Kayfun. I go to check resistance, and it reads .1ohms.
I dick around with it, and it still reads .1ohms. Just to make sure I'm not crazy, I throw the coil into my RSST and it reads 1.6ish ohms, and fires fine. Then, with no coil at all in the Kayfun, with the base attached to my Vamo..........I get a reading of 1 ohms.
Any ideas? The Vamo normally reads 9.9ohms with nothing to fire on it. How am I getting an ohm reading with no coil in the Kayfun base? Like I said, it did get knocked over onto a hard table top while mounted on my Vamo. Looking at the deck, and how it's sort of in two sections, one section is crooked, and is touching the other. Not sure if it was like that before or not. Here's an MS Paint scribble sketch done on a generic Google pic, of what I'm talking about: 
Maybe those 2 bases touching is causing a glitch in the matrix and giving me weird ohm readings? |

that was the problem i had with my first build on the R91. I had to lower the 510 pin and it threads into the positive post pin. they were locked together so when i lowered the 510 connector the deck came loose and shorted and batteries got hot. Checked ohms and they were jumping all over. I took it apart...tighted the deck down good and then put the 510 center pin in and all was right again.

Loosen the screw in the 510 barely. Straighten up the block. Re-tighten. Just play with it until those two pieces aren't touching.

Will do. Thanks guys.
I did try to tighten the shit out of the 510 connection when I first got it, to get it more flush, because I didn't want to push the pin on the Vamo in. (That's what I did with my old Vamo that took it out of commission for awhile.) I didn't realize it had moved that little block on the deck. |

OK, straightening out the deck worked.
Just finally just built my first coil on this Kayfun generously donated to me by Keith (thanks again  ). 28ga, I think 10 wraps, 1.7ohms. Running it at 12 watts right now.
I can see what all the hype is about. This thing hits like a beast and spits clouds! I may even break down and get myself the EHPro version. I've only been using it for about 20 minutes, but so far, no gurgles, no flooding. Whistles like a sumbitch, but that doesn't bother me at all.

Do you use the coil until it physically fails. I pull the wick and heat it and scrape all the black crap off and then replace the wick. I am getting a lot of black crap on the coil. I have read this is do to the juice you use but is this true? Pg/vg percent?
I run 1.5 ohm coils at 10-11 watts on vv/vw units. I keep looking at mech mods but am afraid I will blow myself up one night when I am tired and not paying attention. |

The thicker and/or darker a juice is, the more it will gunk up a coil. When you're doing your dry burns to clean the coil with no wick in it, heat it up until it's red and then stick into a stream of water from your faucet (careful not to get water inside or all over your mod ). I saw Rip Trippers do it in one of his videos, and it gets it way cleaner than simply dry burning it.

The key to mechs is good batteries, double check your resistance, and know ohms and watts laws. Or get a DNA30. But you should really get both.

I do 70% or more VG so I guess that is doing it. I will try the sink thing. I have 2 kayfun clones and love them both. I run 4 mods and have 2 with kayfun clones and 2 with Iclear 30s. I just ordered an SVD. I wussed out on the mech mod again. I had an SVD before and really liked it until I broke it.
No more mods that have 1 button for everything. |

The KFL is still going strong, and has taken the "favorite tank" spot, for sure.
The fill screw finally went, though. When I try to loosen it, it won't unthread and back out. It just spins. But it will still tighten. So I tightened it down real good, and now fill from the top. Filling this way, I get a tad bit of leaking from the airhole right after and will gurgle if you try to take a draw, but blowing it out resolves that immediately. I'll admit, when first getting it, all the pieces, the weight and the size kinda made me think that it would stay as a home-only piece. But the damn thing hits so good and is so easy to build. Thanks again, Keith. You da man. |

I have an HCigar KFL and like it. Rebuilding seems easy enough but I keep getting between 2.0 and 2.8 ohms when I test it on my Provari.
Set to 5.3V. just tested it and it said 2.8 ohms. 10 wraps of 30 guage kanthal on a 3/32 drill bit. Any advise on how to get the ohms lower? |

I guess Murphy read my last post saying how happy I was with the KFL, and decided to say "Aw hell naw!".
Apparently the 510 threads on my Vamo and the 510 threads on the KFL decided to not like eachother anymore. I can wiggle the KFL almost fully seated into my Vamo without ever actually screwing it in. It just wobbles. Now the kicker; The KFL screws in nice and tight into my old busted Vamo, and my two Bolt mods..........and every other tank I've tried still screws in nice and tight into my good Vamo. Go fucking figure.

Took it back to the shop where I bought it, where they tested it with the extension tube and a couple other atomizers, and they all screwed down tight. Luckily, they exchanged it for a new one, and a couple months later all is well. |

I feel stupid for asking this question but I need to know. There are three screws on the bottom of my Kayfun lit plus. The center, a flat head. And two on the sides, one small flat head and a larger Philips head. Is the Philips head to fill the tank and the small flathead air flow control? If the small one is air control how far do I loosen it?
Keith maybe you should sticky this for us newbes to reference from. Thanks in advance. |

My first coil, came out to 2.4 ohms. About the same as my I-clear 30s. Will wick it when I get a charge on my batteries. I will get the ohms down, just want to see what it feels like with cotton and a coil build.
What do you think.

My first coil, came out to 2.4 ohms. About the same as my I-clear 30s. Will wick it when I get a charge on my batteries. I will get the ohms down, just want to see what it feels like with cotton and a coil build. What do you think. http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt96/fmkenner/1stcoil_zps6058a796.jpg Looks good. Make sure it glows from the center out with no hot spots as you fire it and you should be good to go. |

Fire it until it glows, let off the fire button, use tweezers to squeeze that coil a little tighter. (Don't touch the coil while it's actually firing, or else it might pop the coil.) And what size bit did you use to make the wrap? Looks larger than most, or maybe it's just the picture. |
