How's everybody building their kayfun v5

So I got my KFv5 in.

I tried a 2.5mm inner diameter 8 wrap 24g ss316 and I think the build was too big (since the ohms reading wasn’t correct). I also put in a 2.5mm ss316 Clapton and wasn’t getting the best result.

I now have a 6 wrap, 2.0mm, fused Kanthol Clapton in there and seems to be doing better. Ohms out at about 0.65. But I’m thinking the 6 wraps is restricting airflow abit.

What’s everybody else using for their builds? I do have other premade Clapton wires…but, can you put in a 0.25ohm build, or a 0.15ohm TC building…the basic instructions suggests no bigger than a 2.0mm and 0.5ohm build.

Any thoughts?

Hmmm. How high above the air port are you placing your coil?

Is is safe to put a 0.25ohm build in the kfv5?

Yes it’s safe just pull up the coil so it’s not touchng any thing about 1.5 mm

Got a 2.5mm ID 5/6 wraps (spaced just a little) of 26g/32g Kanthal Clapton, clocking in around 0.6 ohms (depending on mood), vaping it at 24-34W. Highly recommended :wink:

If I remember correctly, this is about a big as you can go in that chamber - according to the official numbers. It’s 5mm height of the coil including wire thickness, I think.

OK Kayfun owners… I’m not gonna be dropping $120 for an authentic… So, who’s got the low down on the best Kayfun clones? I’m in the market for a K Mini V3 (wife) and the K 5 (me). Thx! :grinning:

N’er mind, there’s a thread for this topic!
