I'm following the sticky up top trying to get this damned svoe clone to work. Took a while but I got a decent wrap and it's registering at 1.8 ohms on my multimeter. However, when I throw it on my MVP it shows no read and will not fire.

What's wrong,leads are secure but no reading on my MVP.

Update

So I got it to fire once after it actually reading on my MVP reading 1.8 ohms which is what I wanted

Update 2

Motherfucking piece of shit doesn't want to work. But in truth it's probably me trying to dick with it for so long and my fat fingers getting frustrated I'm not messing with it anymore tonight. I MAY try to mess with it tomorrow.

Not saying it's your mvp but it could possible be a connection issue from the center pin of the kayfun and the center pin on your mvp

My mvp had all kinds of issues with different atty and I believe the kayfun caused my mvp to quit reading all atty due to the center pin on the mvp to get pressed down. You have any other mods

maybe unscrew the center pin a little so it makes good contact?

No other mods, it reads my protank fine.

I wrapped my KFL clone for the first time tonight and had the same issue. The center pin in my Vamo was too low so I pried it up a tad bit and it's been great since. I wouldn't unscrew the center pin on the KLF as it holds the positive block in place and could result in a short if you unscrew it too much.

Didn't know I could do that, it's working now at least it's reading but it isn't keeping on it will read right at 1.8 then quit reading. It's being a pain in the ass wrapping the leads.

Sounds like the 510 pin is not making contact. Since it is not adjustable you will have to improvise a bit cause you just back it out some at the build block will be loose and short.

Take the 510 pin all the way out so it looks like this-



Now you will need to make a shim washer to fit over the pin right down to the head of the 510 pin/screw. Small o-ring or nylon washer, etc will work fine. it should go in between the head of the pin/screw & bottom insulator you can see here.



This will lengthen the pin while keeping the build block tight.

*!* note that the screw slot lines up with the air holes in the pin... Make sure the screw slot points toward the air hole on the side for best airflow.


* you can also shorting the pin by sanding down the bottom insulator to make the Kayfun sit flush on mods that have a shallower 510 connection.

It's reading now, but just reading 0.0 ohms on e MVP but 1.6 on the multimeter.

Same with mine except with all tanks...I really miss mine

After two and a half hours of dicking with it testing and retesting with my multimeter it will still not fire. What the hell man, I'm really hoping I didn't fuck this thing up when trying to get it to work. I made very sure to not let the coil hit the deck when firing

Honestly, it may just be the mvp not making contact with the atty or not making good enough connection.  You may just have to get another mod.

This sounds like a contact issue.  I'm not an expert on the KFL (1 day.....)....but every time I've had the issue of 0.0/non/(not attached), it's been either a short (but it would be a short on the multimeter too), or a contact issue on the mod.

If it were me, I'd start looking for answers with the efficient delivery of electricity to the coil.  Everything between the 510 connector on your mod to the coil on the KFL needs to be cleaned.  Clean out your MVP's threads too.  I use vodka so as not to risk using a product that cannot be consumed (cleaning alcohols have additives to keep you from drinking them, if they were drinkable before... .gov doesn't want you end-running their controls on booze...at least true with denatured).

I can't really help you past there.

You didn't say (or I missed it) what model Kayfun it is. The KFL and KFL+ have a flawed design in the center pin in the 510 isn't adjustable (yet another reason why I'm only a fan of the Kayfun 3.1 with it's adjustable center pin).

So like the others have said it's most likely not making contact.

I had a center pin on a MVP get pushed in too far once from overtightening, I'd look there first.

It's a 3.1 and I finally got it to fire after dicking with the center pin. Now I just can't get the thing filled without leaking.

Most people will tell you a really complicated process to fill a Kayfun 3.1. It's NOT needed whatsoever. Here's what you do:

-Remove the top cap and fill with liquid. Leave some space for the threaded section of the top cap to screw on - plus just a little bit extra room.

-Screw on the top cap a couple threads then flip the entire 3.1 upside down, wait a couple seconds, then finish screwing the topcap on.

Done.

There will most likely be a little liquid that comes out from the threads of the top cap since those threads were wet with liquid. You flip it upside down so the action of screwing the top cap on forces air through the fill-valve, instead of forcing liquid through it (which can happen if you screw the topcap on all the way when it's upright).

I don't suggest you fill it through the fill-valve because that's made every single one my my clones leak from that area perpetually (even when I use the proper gauge plastic tip/needle to fill it).

low 510 connector on the MVP is a known issue and is easily fixed by buying a kayfun light plus(real or clone) since they have an adjustable pos pin. if you are using the fill valve then you have to fill it upside down. if you fill like Tri said then you have to flip it upside down after filling and wait for the air bubble to love up to the base so you can press the air out and not juice. also make sure all your O rings are where they are suppose to be. if an O ring is messed up then it will leak, BAD.

Got it working, how far filled is is thing supposed to get, I'm worried about it lasting all day at work. I've never had to refill my protank at work. When I fill it as recommended here and I flip it upside down it all is below the glass level.

Taste is good, I'm hoping that's the end of the issues on this thing. Honestly I was hoping that vapor production would be a little better than it is at 1.7 ohms I'm getting about half the vapor I did with my PT2

My EHPro Kayfun Lite Plus doesn't have the adjustable center pin. I didn't think the real one did either...

correction, mine is the kayfun black edition. mine has the center pin like the russian, which is adjustable.

Something still isn't right then. There's no way a properly setup and functioning kayfun should be putting out less vapor than a PT2. It should be putting out considerably more.

Well now that I have done a side by side the kayfun does put out more especially if I give it a second to heat up before pulling on it and adjusting the airflow.

I'm just concerned about the capacity but I'll have to test that out tomorrow.

I don't know how much you vape, but I wouldn't count on a single tank lasting a whole work day. The kayfun isn't that big a tank to begin with and goes through juice a bit faster than a pt2. You should probably count on having a bottle of juice with you. If that gets cumbersome, get one of those little Innoken UCan's for juice. It'll hold an extra 10ml and just slips in a pocket without a fuss.

a full kayfun is 4.5mils. if you see the juice level when you fill it and flip it over you are no where near full.

I didn't think so, but my issue is when I go and flip it upside down to top fill I can't fill anymore without it going too high up and hitting the threads. Then I flip it back over and it looks full it's past the glass portion but when I flip it upside down again I can't see any liquid.

I don't vape a whole lot at work less than 3ml.
5/28/2014 6:34:07 PM EDT

if you have it up right then you shouldnt see the level of the juice. it should be above the clear tank section. yet another reason to get the light +, so you can bottom fill. LOL.

Thanks a ton all, didn't run anywhere near empty today at work. This thing is awesome, now I need to get a mech mod.
