Sorry for the delay. Had to bust in to the ol' photobucket acct. So much for work. Sorry. Just a newbie trying to make it un this cild hard world. Time for more research.

Ahhhhhh.....is 32g kanthal normal for 2.5 ohms? First build was with wire that comes with kayfun btw. But I know what gauge my last 2 builds have been and thats 32g kanthal.

Well...took a picture of it. But the copy and paste to put it here seems to elude my phone

Pic of build? Yes but I'm at work and dark liquid (gotta love those coffee and tobacco vapes so may be hard to see.

Hello all, I bought a kayfun lite and use my old vv itaste and nemesis mech mod for a battery. Anyways I hear the 1.2-1.8 range is the sweet spot for a build so I got down too it and researched 3-4 youtube videos pretty much saying the same thing. 32g Kanthal and silica wick (its what I had). I ended up watching and following the instructions on the first basic build on ripp trippers build which pretty much followed the others but I just like the cut of this dudes jib. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z7o7RFoTtw0 Anyways first build while tightening down the microcoil and lifting it off the deck the microcoil went a little wonky and the rings were not perfectly straight and one wrap kinda overlapped another but I shrugged said close enough and read the ohms. Came up as 2.4 ohms. Googled it and some ppl actually like that ohm range and nothing I saw said it would damage anything so I went with it. A little weak but good enough for a couple of days. Rebuilt following the direction at madvapes: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I5uWJhLDzT8 , it came up as 2.8 ohms. Nope nope nope. So I got serious. Sat down and when back the the ripp trippers build (1st one, not chimney, figured can't do that until I get a basic build right for once). And I followed the build religiously. Had to retry once when the microcoil went a little wonky again until I got it perfect. It was a picture perfect microcoil, the heavens parted and people cried it was so perfect. So I put that bad boy on the ohms reader and...2.4 ohms. My soul darkened a little that day. Any clue what's going on? What makes a higher ohms reading and a lower? Gauge of kanthal? Too much wick? (Tried way short wick on new build). is it using silica v. Cotton wick? Any assistance appreciated. I want that sweet spot.

Hey guys pretty newbie here so be gentle, I'm an attorney and go to and from the office and court and vape at both so I need to be kinda discreet about my setup (no cloud chasing). I'm all about flavor. My current setup is an itaste vv with a nautilus aspire, however I find myself rebuilding every weekend because the flavor drops off. Went to a friends party this weekend and he has the magma rda and the flavor was just mind blowing. So my newbie question is this. I'd do the magma but I don't want to be running around dripping in a corner every hour or so, or if it leaked in my pocket bc it's not in a tank I would have big problems. I've looked at the kayfun but have been told it's going to be the same, flavor wise, as the aspire. So do any of the pros around here have a suggestion for a good setup that's flavor focused that I can run around with without having to stop and drip every few hours?
