Yeah I am aware of that. I'm going to get her another V3 and pico set up... I looked at the plus V 1.5 and opted to pass it up. It has no real support items I am aware of such as tank glass...

I did see that but I figured I could always get a taller glass of same diameter and cut it to size.
Yep, have both the black and SS from FT. Love 'em.
Don't know if these work for 1.5:

Hop one in, and welcome.
Not sure that any of those items would work on it. It's really an odd ball @ 22.5 mm
Reporting back on trying the Serpent mini (in Black), great tank, no leaks, I changed out the drip tip to smaller bore , air flow shut almost completely off....Vapes MTL very nicely, I like it just a tad better than the Nectar, in comparison they both vape alike and are simple to build a single coil on!
I really like the serpent mini. I run mine full open for restricted DL and find the flavor to be outstanding. I found that for me it was a bit too airy for a closed down MTL. So easy to build and wick, zero leaks. I'll get another for backup.Reporting back on trying the Serpent mini (in Black), great tank, no leaks, I changed out the drip tip to smaller bore , air flow shut almost completely off....Vapes MTL very nicely, I like it just a tad better than the Nectar, in comparison they both vape alike and are simple to build a single coil on!
That's probably a good idea. You can't have too many of these little jewels.I have 2 SS's coming for back ups
Prolly... do you have a link to it, I've searched FT and couldn't find.
Reading reviews and discussions definitely appears to fit Pico but no replacement glass avail at this time:
It' probably a good tank, just no glass. Don't break it or your SOL.

I have no worries for the glass, if I really need to, I can get the pyrex tubing and cut and fire polish a replacement for myself. I just ordered the Calix v2 and 2 glass/metal replacements for it. We shall see....
Looking forward to your impressions BB and if it fits your style.

I can hardly wait for it. I am finding out the fountain v2 is a nice atty but squonking is not for me. The kf 5 is nice but even at it's tightest af setting is still a little bit loose. The af on the kf mini v3/plus is more my speed.
Kfv5 is on my short list and I keep hoping to see one that comes w m2l kit or as a separate add on.

FT carries replacement glass for the "regular "kf mini plus, the one we are looking at is the mini plus v1.5. This little guy is 22.5 mm diameter so the glass from the other ones should be just big enough to not fit it.
Wow is there a difference between the kayfun mini3 & the kayfun mini3 plus? i mean on fasttech
Because that clone looks really nice compared to my authentic. Also it looks logo-less, nice touch
Edit- nice purchase @Brewbear -If i hadnt seen your interest in the Gem 2 before me, i was checking my bank as well lol. Great buy let me know how you like it

Thanks @KingLouie, I thought the Gem v2 would look nice on the Triade.
There is a difference between kf v3 mini and kf v3 mini plus, the plus is a little chubby at 23-24 mm vs 19 and holds a little more juice. There is also a mini plus v1.5 that is 22.5 mm diameter and I have high hopes it will fit on the Pico and the Tesla Stealth. This thing is an oddball size and the glass isn't available so people are a little skiddish about buying it. I don't have a problem with that, as long as the damn thing works well, doesn't leak and fits on the intended mods.

Ever felt like using a dripper around the house but didn't want all that air? The Magma and Veritas not quite your thing?
Welcome to my world
I just put a simple kanthal built in the narDA and you can actually enjoy a dripper and mtl too. Granted, is is still too early to be definite but for now I'm liking it. I will need a couple of days to put it through it's paces, but at least for now I'm having a lot of hope for it. It does whistle when wide open (like the Petri v1 clone) but it is pretty good for a single coil rda.

A few words about the kfv5 clone by tobeco. ..very clean, nicely machined. The air flow is a bit more than I like for MTL but with some perspicacity and creative thinking, I believe I can make it work. There is a very slight wobble but that is inherent to the design. The more you open the juice flow, the more wobble you will have. Again, this is about the kfv5 clone, I don't know if the authentic has this ailment. The Presa 100 doesn't like it, ohms jump around a bit, or it doesn't read it at all. The problem seems to reside with the mod since this is not the only atty it does it with and the tank itself works flawlessly one other mods. I should receive a FT clone in a couple of weeks. ...maybe....and I'll be able to compare the two.
They show OOS. I hope they get more in. Black would be nice.

I have the FT "El cheapo" brand. They are both pretty good . Through v3 mini plus is a "China brand" different from v3 mini by being a little chubby and shorter with the same function and slightly increased holding capacity.

Kinda stole my words there.Wait.... What are we talking about again?
IMO, you can never go wrong with a Tobeco. Every one I've had has been a really decent clone.
That said, I have the FT KFMV3 and it performs great. I may have replaced the deck screws, I can't remember.

CDrover was asking which of the miriad kfv3 mini clones is the best.I had replied that there is a kfv3mini plus as well, just to muddy the water.

If you guys haven't seen this thread yet, check that out!

If I end up liking the mini v3 I'm definitely getting one of these glass replacements.

hahaha hey thats my thread! it is a really sweet setup- that topcap. It might even kick the juice capacity up a little bit, im not sure. Their website sucks.
You guys have convinced me to get a clone or 2 of the kayfun mini3. They all look really good & a desirable price. Replacing the screws on the mini3 would be clutch, i have the same problem on the authentic. Those damn little screws do love to spit out the wire when im tightening it down, even when i use 28/29 gauge, my favorite for the kayfun. I look past it though, because of the performance.

I bought a pack of replacement screws way back when on FT for Kayfun lite and use those.
My Kayfun mini showed up today. Who said the Goblin Mini had a small deck? I had to put my glasses on and still wished I had a magnifying glass. WOW that's tiny. Had a minor wicking issue, but seems to be going ok, now.
Had wicking issue at first also. I now tuck the wicks in "waterfall" style and use a safety pin to run under the wick to nudge it off the base so doesn't block the juice holes. All good now.
The deck is tiny. I have found that the optimal build diameter is actually around one of those little blue screwdrivers you probably have a ton of.
Also, you want to use enough wick where the tails completely touch the bottom of the deck when tucked, (touching the little holes juice comes out of) but no more than that. Its trial and error, ill tuck them down & see if i have extra, and remove them and trim them very slightly, if you can picture that. Once you get the hang of it, its a breeze!
Use too little wick and it will leak

LOL I can picture that, actually. And can ya believe I have ONE blue screwdriver? How'd that happen??
I use rayon, so I figured the wicks touching the base, and then a touch more would be fine. So far, that's working great. It shrinks up, instead of expanding, so I didn't think it would clog up the juice flow. I had that one issue, re-wicked and so far, so good. I wish I'd put a different juice in it, but the flavor is definitely good. Just not crazy about the juice. Meh, it'll vape up.
It's a teeny little thing, for sure!

I really like the size of it. Im going to rewick it later today, so i could take a picture. I only have 1 blue screwdriver as well, i usually toss them, but because of the size of the deck a micro coil around the blue guy works great for me, 6-8 wraps depending on what im feeling usually comes to 1-1.2 ohms, 28 gauge mainly.
Im sure depending on the wire/build/wick everyone's results may vary, but ive found if i use a little extra wick (tucking it results in an 'M' sort of shape) that it just gunks up more quickly, ive got very few burnt hits overall.
Similarly, ive found if you use too little wick where it doesnt touch the bottom of the base & juice holes fully, ittl gurgle. Ive yet to have serious leaking issues, but i hate the gurgle. It just performs so flawlessly otherwise that its pretty noticable, and annoying when out & about, and worrying about that in my pocket.
I pretty much do a upside down U wick, by lifting the tail up first- then pushing the ends of it downwards, so it doesnt clump up down there & is even. I usually start with what i know will be too much, so that i dont accidentally cut it too short in the beginning. Then ill tuck it down, usually making that M shape, pull it out and cut it accordingly.
It seems @ToolmanTexas has had success when his wick doesnt fully touch the juice holes, but mine will gurgle if the wick isnt sat down there completely.
Or maybe he meant he uses a safety pin to slightly separate the wick from the building deck near the wire horizontally, i do as well, just once ive set the wick and place, and sometimes after i juice it up first.

No, this is correct. I use safety pin to keep the wick from fully touching the deck. No gurgle so far.

If you guys think the kf mini''s deck is small, you should see the deck on the nautilus rba!
The deck on the kayfun v5 is bigger, but it is a big tank too, I don't have problems building on the kayfun mini either though, have 2.5mm 1.5ohm clapton coil in mine, 1st kayfun I have put clapton coils in
I had wicking problems to start with, and was actually not putting enough wick in, if wick too short then won't suck the juice up to the coil, I tuck my cotton in pretty thick, but I make sure one juice hole is clear of wick.

I do 2.5mm coils in mine also, kanthal but fits great.
I used a 2.4mm (yellow screwdriver you see all over the place), and my wicking is much like KingLouie described. Reading what everyone's saying, we seem to do this quite similarly.
@Brewbear, there is no way in hell I'd be able to work on the Nautilus RBA. I was determined to NOT let Kayfun win, but man that was a battle. Made my eyes hurt, LOL.

Oh, same 28g, did 7 wraps, came out at 1.3 ohms.
Cool pic! I want close ups of the drip tips if'n ya can. Are those the stock ones?never thought I would say it - ima kayfun fan boy
