Hi folks,
The reliable Kayfun has been my mainstay for the past few months, and, during that time, I've
done the rounds of most of the assortment of different wicks/coil builds.
All have worked, none have failed.
I'm the kind of chap that believes in simple is good,complex is bad. No Faff, No Fuss, is my motto.
I'm now at the end of my quest, for the simplest,fastest to make and fit,zero maintenance, and most efficient Kayfun build, having eliminated,torching,counting wraps,checking for hot spots,and fastidious wick placement.
I build on the ohms checker, so a 1 second, on-off, tells me all I need to know.
No Blow Torch Needed
1. Cut off a piece of 3mm silica wick approx 2.5 inches long.
2. Snip off 4 inches of 28awg (0.32mm) Kanthal and don't bother to torch it.
3. Wrap 1 to 1.5 inches of this wire around the wick (@ 0.5 ohms per inch this gives you a build of choice between 0.7 ohms and 1.2 ohms when you include the 'tails' between posts and coil).
4.Position in place and fix to posts.
5.Screw on the evaporation chamber with the wick sticking up and through.
6.Snip off excess wick at just above chamber height.
7.Push the wicks down to the deck.
8. Assemble,fill with juice, and vape.
Under 5 minutes from start of build, to lazy arsed vaping, and nowt more to do for week to ten days (other than fill with juice) is as good as it gets for me and the Kayfun. (could last longer than 10 days, but why bother when, for pennies,your Kayfun can always have a nice,clean,fizzy coil?)
This build is no better or no worse,flavour,vapour,throat hit,performance wise, than any other build that I've used,but it is,for me,delightfully simple and 100% fail proof.
Although these simple style silica builds are not every bodies cup of tea,they work,100% of the time and I'm sure that if anybody new to Kayfuns, cut their teeth this way there would be a lot less rattle/pram throwing with 'my Kayfun leaks', 'my Kayfun gives me dry hits', 'no vapour from my Kayfun', 'No flavour from my Kayfun', and a lot more 'Just got a Kayfun, built it in ten minutes, vapes fantastic'.
