Heard they ship pretty fast, even from Germany, and I'm not going to set clocks to try and grab one as soon as they hit stores in the US, if I get one straight away, all good, otherwise just have to wait for the demand to go down, give me some time to get some funds anyway, as really would like 2 :)

Tracking came a little after midnight from InTaste for both K5s...can't wait, after watching the review by Ricky's Vape Spot on YouTube...it looks top notch indeed!!!

BTW...he did a follow up video that is pretty good, don't think I've seen it posted yet so here:


Edit...here is the original review in case anyone missed it too

congrats!!
You are really going to love this when you get your hands on one when more go up (which should be within a week or so it sounds like)

The deck is so easy to build on, and if you like larger gauge wire or going crazy with claptons then the second set of deck screws will have you set.

The AFC on the outside FNALLY...and it is fantastic, the dots telling you what setting you are on are a nice touch, and pushing it down to lock it in place making it so it doesn't move when you're trying to remove the tank from your mod or close and open juice control *cough* K4 *cough* also a big plus

The draw is so damn smooth too, every pull is as rewarding as the last and the flavor is tippity TOP NOTCH

The machining, as with all SM products, is fantastic, and it really is a good looking Atty

After seeing pics of the Steam Tuners tank I am also really excited for that...it'll chop a little height off and sprinkle some extra sex appeal on it

Yeah, K5 is damn good

I ordered 2 of the K5's this morning...1 from CDV and 1 from Intaste. Intaste has already shipped, and fedex says delivery expected for Monday!

I've been absolutely satisfied with my KF4's. Been using them with SS316 in TC mode for past few months without a hiccup. That just means that the bar for K5 will be really high for me, but from everything I've read I won't be disappointed.

with the increased airflow, this may be the single coil tank I've been waiting for.
I'm looking forward to being able to use the 50w prothingy and this with a fused Clapton. maybe even send a pic to old captain zen since 50w is impossible out of a single 18650.- yeah I'm an ass when someone tells me that I don't understand electronics theory. hehehe
 
the v4 sucks completely for tc. Ive used all the upgrade springs included the steam turners thing.. its just to much static.
stattqualm has the same issue with the ematel crap.

my hurricane and taifun both have an adjustable 510 and I keep them screwed in tight. neither have ever given me an issue at all.

nothing to do with the emetal used in squape r, rs rta's - it's the center pin that causes the troubles...e-liquid getting between the threads weakens the connection...has to be cleaned regularly - by regularly i mean every time you fill up the tank - annoying.

The one I ordered Friday from Creme De Vape made it from the UK to Chicago, where its presently stuck in customs. I've have that take as little as a day, and as long as 2 weeks. All I can do is stalk the mailman and watch the tracking. Lol.

ordered from intaste. I got it 3 days later. So far, my favorite kayfun ever. Awesome build deck and truly ingenious how they designed the wire traps. Flavor is excellent and the airflow is very smooth. So far, my favorite build in it is a simple .24 ga Nichrome spaced coil on a 2.5mm bit. 7 wraps, tightly spaced. Love it!

One 3.2mm airflow (at largest) leads to it not even mattering how big they make those outside slots, 3.2mm's of airflow is the best you're gonna get. I find that to PERSONALLY, keyword, to be very limiting. ALTHOUGH, if you like TIGHT lung inhales or mouth to lung inhales, this tank will probably be king motherfucker as SvoeMesto is a baller at designing his shit and making sure it's made to exact specification. Cannot say the same for the $15 Tobeco clones most people use then proceed to bitch about how bad their Kayfun is.

I wouldn't get TOO excited seeing those slots, as having only one 3.2mm airflow (at largest) for intake is going to severely limit the amount of air coming in. So, expect a TIGHT lung inhale at best, but a relaxing MtL inhale if that's your thing.

Like I said, 40W and below, for those 'tootle' puffers, this RTA will probably be king. I don't know if it can beat the Hurricane or the Pico, but I'm betting it will.

EDIT:

I just closed my Boreas down like 92% of the way to simulate a 3mmish draw. I hit it at 162W with success but and OVERWHELMING throat hit that had me coughing like I just smoked a whole pack of unfiltered 1920's Pall Malls at once. So evidently, to some certain badass who likes high wattage and low air, this in theory could bust out the high wattage. Results may vary.
Some people just don't get it...

Awesome dude, glad to hear it!

K5 has successfully replaced KF4 for me. IMO, the airflow is very smooth, especially if you're into MTL. The wide open air flow position isn't as airy as some drippers or strictly sub-ohm tanks, but it'll do a DLH for me if I want it to. And the flavor...it's a Kayfun after all, isn't it? Flavor FOR MILES.

Top fill is oh so easy. Similar to KF4, but much larger and easier to open. Build deck is awesome! Easiest Kayfun build deck ever!

My biggest gripe, is its tendency to leave dampness just above the AFC ring when it's opened after a fill. Not so much a leak, not even really a drop...just a little damp until it's wiped real quick.

the aqua 2 would do that, it wasn't top fill, but the juice control is similar
I would often times cover the airhole as I was opnenging it up. try keeping the air holes closed until the juice flow is fully open.
it wont leak, but it will leave a wet spot. - never bothered me any, since it would wipe off with one hand

Well, its way too loose for a proper MTL draw, and just a tad too tight for a relaxing direct lung. That was kind of stupid in my opinion, too limited on both ends of the afc. Draw is very smooth though, deck is wonderful and overall it has got to be the best Kayfun ever made. Very easy to coil, and compared to the KF4 everything is much better. Then again most STDs were nicer than KF4, so thats really an understatement. Machining is superb, i haven't had anything get stuck yet.

I would rather herpes over having to use KF4 daily. Herpes gets better over time with meds.

I had the KF4 clap. Funny thing is, it was so damned reliable and consistent, I grew to overlook the glaring sores :D

I've heard a lot of people say that the MTL draw on K5 is too loose, but I just don't see it. I've compared it against KFL+ and KF4, and the K5 afc is pretty much spot on to what Svoëmesto says it is. To each their own I suppose.

should be getting here today. I'm hoping for a good restrictive DL pull. I bought this hoping for a good adv; the kf4 with the 4s kit is to tight for me, I need it good and loose.

Just learned a hard lesson about K5 and temperature changes...

Went from the nice AC in the car to the 85° KY climes, and the whole tank purged into my pocket.

Learned (again) about proper juice flow control...

When I had my kayfun v4 I had nothing but problems from the juice control getting stuck to the actual deck access getting stuck.. can't tell you how many times i had to use a wrench to get it open.. does the v5 have these problems

Nice! You tracked that bastard mail man down then? Great work! :D
I did!! I was pissed!!!! I came home and waited.... like a good vapemail stalker.
that punk didn't even knock on my door. so I went chasing after him on wheel. He had a crazy bastard in a wheelchair chasing his jeep.

But I won! I got my kayfun.

K5 is MUCH simplified from the KF4. I'll answer your question with another or two: "Could" the K5 get stuck? Sure, if the o-rings weren't properly lubed and/or it was closed tight by a gorilla. Does the K5 have the same potential of getting stuck like the KF4? Absolutely not. The tank section righty-tighty/lefty-loosies for the juice flow control and access to the deck. Much reduced number of parts to get stuck.

I need to lube it more, but I like it. and it on the Procyon with a fused Clapton build is pure kayfun insanity

and yes it happened. hahaha

so been using it a while, can safely say THIS TANK ROCKS! I'm so glad to see SVOEMESTO answer the call for it.
the airflow wide open is really perfect for my all day tank needs. Works flawlessly in temp mode with SS on the DNA and on the SX350j. I must admit it is an exceptional vape on the Procyon also. I'm still in shock that I have a fused Clapton in a kayfun . who woulda thought I would be able to get a satisfactory vape for my style with a p-thingy/kayfun again. :teehee:

Indeed! That's vape history depicted right there! :D

I remember when I thought a 2.5 and a KFL+ was all I'd ever "need". Lol!

bahahahahaha

- think we all did then. that right there was the setup that I put down the cigs with.
I was using a clone kfl then but you know what I mean.

Good call on the wicking issue. Just for shits and giggles, I'd went with a slightly different build than my "go-to", and it worked fine for about 3 days...then flood, leak, dry hit, dry hit, rinse and repeat.

Opened it up for a look-see, and the wick tails had all but collapsed (rayon will do that). For reference, I'm still using my heavy PG SubZero menthol, so it's a thin viscosity. I usually leave the tails thick, to help manage the liquid and keep the shrinkage down.

Went back to my "go-to" build right before noon today, and made sure to go outside for extended periods and haven't had a problem yet. If it starts pissin juice into my pocket again, I'll let you know, but I don't think it will.
