Hey guys and girls,
Im new to these parts im hoping someone here can help me as im struggling like a bugger with setting up my atties. This might be long winded, im sorry in advance for that.
First up is a Genuine KFL+ not the new revised version, been having this problem for a month or so - no matter what i do with it, it never has flavour, runs dry or generally rips my throat apart with a nasty peppery feeling.
Ive tried silica but i suspect my silica is not good stuff, as it tastes warm and funky, after 2 days it goes (3 tanks) but the flavour is not there - 2x3mm with a .25 kanthal coil around 4/5 wraps on a mech - about 1mm off the airhole (1mm drillbit fits under it) Juice channels not blocked can see bubbles. Silica is preflamed as is the kanthal.
Cotton - is very much the same as silica, which is odd considering my drippers work to a point. 2mm micro coil, .32 kanthal 28awg, 8 wraps for about 1.3 ohm, again on a mech, enough cotton to slide through with some resistane and cut short of the deck, again 1mm off the airhole, tried 2mm off it and no change (1&2mm drillbits fit under it)
Cotton Yarn, pretty much the same silica, tastes really odd, like sucking a tshirt sort of. Boiled and dried.
Next is my Taifun GT clone from vapegeek, figured id try this, as most people say its easy and flavour is up there with the best not from my experience so far.
First i had to mess with the orings to get them tight, not an issue so, setup like a real taifun would - 3x2mm silica, .2 kanthal forget the wraps, was around 1.4ohm and it tastes just like the kayfun, horrid as heck. Silica is preflamed as is the kanthal.
Cotton - following the guides ive seen, was a mess, flood/leaking, dry hits and generally worse than the kayfun, 3mm microcoil this time 7 wraps forget the ohms was low, same cotton principle as the kayfun, made sure it blocked the holes, even tried a flavour wick ontop no change.
Mesh - well lets say that was a complete write off and wont try that again.
Cotton Yarn, pretty much the same silica, and the description for the kayfun is the same here.
Oh also the taifun has now developed a leak from the 510 connection, sigh.
Im losing the plot, going through maybe 8-10 coils a day trying to get one working, so much wasted juice, as eventually i give in and just vape whatever is there to get the nic hit, even if it tastes god awful - i regret to say that i slipped last couple of days and gone to smoking baccy again.
I get this is a wall of text and im sorry for that, i dont know where else to turn to any help or yet any other videos to watch would be much appreciated, although ive watched pretty much all of them, andrews m3 coil video, todds cotton builds and silica, riptrippers bonkers videos, various other ones dotted on youtube plus a bunch of german ones.
