As the old one is nearly full!

All & any vaping chat welcome.

No question is too daft to ask. We've all been there at the start of vaping in the minefield that it is.

Only rule is: No Willy Waving!!

thanks guys - I won't stop him if I say no, I have told him that he's not to bring his friends here to vape. That would be taking the piss

Turns out I needed to use rubber gloves to open it!
Who'da thought it.

Shiney new toy Smile

It's a Kayfun Lite clone and I've had it a few weeks but I'm a bit odd with new things - I have to look at them like this Hmm for a while before I get to grips with using them.

Anyway, I'm getting on really well with it - no leaks, gurgles or dry hits, lots of smooth vapour. If anybody is interested in a tank you coil yourself (which will therefore be TPD-proof) but is not into the sub-ohm lung-inhale Big Cloud style of vaping, I would recommend it.

There are a couple of fiddly things I don't like:

  • it's not easy getting the coil legs under the screws.
  • to refill you have to undo a tiny screw which doesn't come out easily and when it does, could easily get lost.

So I'm now after something like the KFL that solves these problems. I'm sure there is something now I know what I'm looking for.

Meanwhile, if anybody does fancy trying the sub-ohm thing, the Subtank Nano that Polter kindly sent me has now been cleaned and is having a final soak in alcohol to hopefully get rid of the last lingering traces of custard smell. PM me if you'd like it.

Thanks to Plenty I have tried the sub tank nano tonightSmile oh and thanks for the extra's, much appreciated Grin

Love the look of the tank and have put the 0.5 coil on my istick. I have noticed the vape is much warmer than the mini nautilus. What volt or watt would u recommend I use the sub tank on.

Finally sussed out the subtank and have clouds Grin I've had to learn to lung hit and reduce my nicotine. Will not be vaping like that in public but the odd cloud might be fun.

Thanks Polter. I've tried lung hitting the mini nautilus aswell and the clouds are pretty good with that to. Not as good as subtank nano though.

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 31/05/2015 18:50

Ooh that is impressive Grin I'm glad you're getting on well with it.

McNo · 31/05/2015 19:17

Thanks Plenty Smile

McNo · 02/06/2015 15:47

Plenty, the Kayfun Lite looks interesting as i have been trying to read up of the new regulations potentially coming in next year.

When you say you have to make the coils, is this difficult? I am having to consider mixing my own liquid as my favourite liquid supplier has changed to making
concentrates only as they think the regulations will definately come into force and they want to be ahead of the game :(

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 02/06/2015 21:51

Fucking Kayfun is being a cunting wanker this evening Angry

It's a lovely vape but has a major design flaw - you can't get at the coil unless the tank is empty*. It's also really hard to see how full it is because even if you use the clear tank section, the top and bottom are stainless steel and they're quite deep.

So I've just spent days trying to get it conveniently empty at a time when I can dry burn it and change the wick. Finally managed it this afternoon. Dry burned, new wick, filled it up, lovely!

Went out with it in my bag and forgot to lock the up and down buttons on my eleaf (OK this bit was user error), got home, took a massive hoover-drag and got a lungful of burnt cotton wool Envy I don't know how much it had turned itself up but it was rather a lot - I have the 50W one. It's the worst dry hit I have ever had.

So I now have a full kayfun with a horribly burnt wick and need to work out how to get into it without sloshing eliquid everywhere. Grr.

McNo the actual making coils bit is not difficult. It's a bit fiddly and you need good eyesight but once you get the knack it's no harder than rolling a fag Wink I wrote a post ages ago about how to do it but it's a bit outdated now. I should update it when I get time.

If you are getting on well with the subtank you might want to get the next size up - the subtank mini. This comes with a building deck but also takes the same coils as the subtank nano, so best of both worlds if you get on with that style of vaping. The Kayfun has much tighter airflow and is designed for mouth-to-lung inhaling. You might find it a bit frustrating.

I've just learnt about for the Kayfun that allows you to fill it without a screwdriver and get at the coil even if it's full. It's eight fucking quid* from Cloud9 or £2 from fasttech. I don't think I can wait for FT, I think I'm going to suck up the £8. For a bit of metal to deal with a basic design flaw. Harrumph!

McNo · 03/06/2015 18:51

Not a good day Plenty Confused

Think I will try the subtank mini. It gives me both options then.

Hope today was a better vaping day Smile

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 03/06/2015 20:43

Yeah Grin Today I am mostly vaping a good old GS-H2 in a fetching shade of dog-penis red while giving the Kayfun the evils. I'll tackle it tomorrow, the curly-wired shiny steel bastard.

That made me laugh out loud Plenty.

The battle line is drawn Plenty vs Kayun Grin

magimedi · 04/06/2015 11:52

I'd back Plenty - every time!

OP posts:
PlentyOfPubeGardens · 04/06/2015 21:54

Plenty - 1, Kayfun - 0 Grin

It's back up and running now. It is a lovely vape and is kind of worth the faff - lots of flavour! I just wish there was something that vaped like a KF and didn't have its flaws.

magimedi · 04/06/2015 22:40

I do ecpect you to bring all your kit to the meet up & show us all the wonders!

Can't wait!
