Next Generation MTL tanks Part 2

[Nailz]

Yep FT, they are like Genny tanks with the build on top

Thank you @Whiskey

I did have the avocado, which I liked the way it vaped, but had connection problems, so went in the trash, think I will have to try the nectar. I never lay my mods/tanks down, so no fill plug wouldn't be a problem for me.

 

[Nailz]

I found this place in MN.

I never heard of this vendor. Has anyone had a encounter?

Never heard of them, and quite expensive too.

 

[Artemis]

Eciggity has the Kayfun 5 back in stock. I just ordered one.

 

[Nailz]

Normally I would only order 1 of a new tank I've not tried, but as @Whiskey said they are good, took the gamble on 2 nectar's, and ordered glass tanks for it, never trust plastic tanks to last.

 

[fckaugust8th]

Ecggity has the TobeCo Kayfun v5 back in stock, the 20%code doesn't work so, if you want to buy one it'll cost you about $30. That is still better than Europe prices....

Does TENOFF work? It did at one time on other stuff.

@snake94115 could it be one of the o-rings that is pinched?

Thoroughly checked.
I have a list of things that could go wrong.

If anyone is looking for a inexpensive Logo KF 5 I believe this is one on FT. It doesn't come with the SS tank section though. Save one for me, I can't order one until Friday

That is what I didn't like about the SXK K5, no logo's, so makes it more difficult knowing how much you have turned JC, yes there is ways around it, but I want a easy sign like a logo to tell me, I've not even built the SXK yet, and not sure I will either.

This HAS the logo...lol And the logo lines up with the juice slot. And it has the 3mm tube. And it only 13.04, also says it's 316ss. This for me will be a good one to get to see if I even like it. El Cheapo.

 

[snake94115]

Seeing as how I forgot to include a pic in post #488.
I'm putting 1 up here.

 

[fckaugust8th]

@MercuryVaper, thanks for the link, just ordered one.

 

[fckaugust8th]

Huck, I was so happy to find it at ecggity, I just ordered it, never mind the coupons. ... The extra 3 or 4 dollars makes up for the waiting period.

Oh yeah, been there done that!

Hmmm kayfun mini v3 is way better than I thought it would be.

 

[fckaugust8th]

@f1r3b1rd, I know better than this, but you're talking about the authentic mini v3, right?

 

[f1r3b1rd]

@f1r3b1rd, I know better than this, but you're talking about the authentic mini v3, right?

Yes I just got in another v5 and a mini v3.
I wasn't expecting to like the mini v3 so much.
I got it for my OG vaporshark DNA to use it as flush fit stealth setup.
Damnit if this little guy isn't makinge.rethink my vaping journey

 

[fckaugust8th]

I didn't get any authentic kayfuns but I just ordered a mini v3 plus 1.5 The chubby mini v3 that is 22.5 mm and hopefully it works on the Pico. I actually like the mini v3, I use one of them with a Tesla Stealth since their tank is meh...I ordered a couple kv5 clones. I'm really considering authentic but the bloody things are too tall!

The v5s and the mini3 are the best vape I've had over anything. I would love to get a couple of good clones just to have in hand.

My next order will be the SMJY clone off of 3F as it seems to have the best reviews.

This FT version may also make it to my list as it is inexpensive and has good reviews:

The sxk also

[fckaugust8th]

There is a big controversy about the SXK kayfuns being sold by FT. From all I've read so far, the 3f clones are legit if that makes any sense. I plan one ordering the SXK and SJMY clones. So far, I would like to get the tobacco or SXK kayfuns mini v3 but it's like finding chicken teeth.

A good friend of mine from way back just got in 4 sxk clones from legendgadget. He reported back that all were flawless.

I'm ordering a few from there for the vapocolypse case.

 

[riverdan]

I'm not sure what it is but I just can't seem to put together a good build for the bachelor nano. Out of at least a half dozen builds in kanthal and SS, I can't get the flavour right at all. Vape tends to be super hot too. It's a shame because the second one I ordered just came in and it's just sitting there in the wrapper. Also, Maybe it's just mine, but the AFC ring is suuuper loose. I hate having to adjust the air flow every time I pick up my mod or pull it out of my pocket.

I love my GS-Tank but i hate hate hate the coils. They don't wick very well and I end up pitching 2/3's the package of coils because no matter how much I mess around teasing the cotton in the inlets they refuse to absorb any liquid. (using 60/40vg)

I think next up on the "to try" list is the kf V3 Mini.

 

[ooshaugh1]

Just wanna chime in on my experience here. Having tried a lot of the recommended attys here. Normal build is around 1ohm with 27g 316l SS and temp mode at 220C. Have reached the conclusion that my favourite for pure flavour in order are:
1. Rose V2s clone (Fasttech). This has the best flavour for me. Nice AFC. Good JFC. Fiddly to build but worth it!
2. Taifun GT2 (Fasttech). Great flavour (nearly as good as rose) looser airflow. So easy to build on. JFC not very convenient.
3. KF3 mini sxk clone. Excellent flavour but boy does she leak! Have tried replacing all orings and different wicking but alwaays leaking!
4. Goblin mini v2. Tiny build deck. Signle coil adapter is annoying. A lot of condensation buildup on 510 due to AFC.
5. Hurricane Clone. Easy build but muted flavour and way to airy for my tastes.
6. Kayfun v4. The most overengineered atty ever invented!

Just my subjective thoughts but for people looking for pure flavour and a tighter draw then the Rose is hard to beat!

Exactly what I ordered too, I saw the glass tanks while I ordered them too.

 

[MercuryVaper]

@Whiskey does your Nectar whistle? I saw mention of this on FT..

 

[Whiskey]

Not yet....LOL, that could just be the build maybe?

Where are you getting the coils? I never had an ounce of trouble with the ones I got from Sweet Vapes or Discount Vapers.

Opposite for me, I couldn't get the Rose V2(s) to give good flavor for me, whereas the Hurricane was the bomb right from the 1st build.

I really, really wanted the Rose to work for me as it is such a beautiful RTA but had to let it go after several builds (which were a pain!).

I did get this beauty in today and first impressions are thumbs up... except for the juice ctrl with the drip tip, doesn't turn very easy. Going to have to work on that but giving a really good vape and easy build. Looks big in pic but it's a good size and looks the bomb on the Pico.

 

[fckaugust8th]

....and the name of the "little beauty " is???

Dang it...thought I had that in there...

Calix v2

 

[fckaugust8th]

I heard/read they're kinda finicky and the build is not easy....but then again, it's been a long, hard day sof I may be wrong.

I've tried a couple different overseas vendors. I'd love to try them from a better vendor but with the exchange you're looking at over 20$ a pack. Not much better if you have to get them shipped inside the country either.

The ones I tried from FT were not good. I thought I got authentics, which are wicked with organic cotton. Turns out, they weren't, were wicked with silica and even looked dirty. I took a couple apart and decided to not use anymore of them. Now, rebuilding those, is not that bad. Not what you paid for, but not too difficult to do.

silica really? I wonder if I'm using the same ones... sure looks like cotton though. Did you try the 1.2s?

 

[Huckleberried]

Not saying yours aren't cotton, but I couldn't understand why my flavor wouldn't come through, so I was curious and took a couple apart. I was mad, LMAO. Not only were they silica, but the wire used turned it a dirty color. Made me pay better attention to listings for sure. I think they were 1.5's

I think only 1.2 or lower are made with cotton. Either way, something isn't right with them, maybe factory seconds? *shrugs* every now and then I get one coil that has awesome flavour.

 

[Huckleberried]

That's one of the reasons I've headed more and more toward RTAs. I hate buying coils for their limited life and higher price tags. With RTAs we get to wick with what WE want. The GS tanks really are great MTL flavor tanks, no doubt about it, but I hate the trouble you're having with the coils.

My thoughts exactly. Hence my journey into RTAs. At this point, I can buy a life time supply of cotton and wire for the same price as like two packs of coils. It's a no brainer.

First build was flawless and great flavor...JFC is only thing takes some getting used to but have to say worth it... thumbs up so far after 1 tank

 

[fckaugust8th]

It has the PPMA tank. Did you also order the glass replacement tank?

On my next order I'll be getting another calix v2, spare ppma tanks and a glass one...I prefer plastic but like to have the glass just for option

 

[ToolmanTexas]

Couple of tanks in and the Calix V2 is a winner... adding it to my list of killer flavor RTAs. Top fill, size, deck, and good looks, all very nice!

 

[MercuryVaper]

Haven't had a new MTL tank in a long while. Just got a KFV3 in and a new istick pico from FT for my wife, and it's just such a nice set up. Very impressed that a KF clone can look and work so well...Just ordered the KF5 and V3+ from FT. Can't wait to give those a try.

 

[fckaugust8th]

@MercuryVaper, just be aware the kf mini v3 plus doesn't fit on the Pico, it's too chubby. FT has a kf mini v3 plus v1.5 (go figure ) that is supposed to be 22.5 mm and should fit on the Pico. I should have it in 3 weeks or so.
I just received my tobeco kf5 and the fountain v2. I gotta go play. ...

 

[fckaugust8th]

Tesla Stealth with Fountain v2, squinting may not be my thing... and with a tobeco kf v5. That's what I'm talking about. ...

 

[fckaugust8th]

Three hours with the kfv5....afc set at it's lowest, it is still a little bit too loose. Am I going to buy the MTL kit? If I had the authentic, I would, but for now I'm just going to try the rolled mesh in the air tube (under the coil) fix and see where that leaves us.
The narDA rda seems to be decent for MTL but I didn't have the time to play with it.
