The main reason for buying this was for the mountain oak vapor and others that were destroying the coils in the kabuki. I'm kind of glad that it has a small tank as well. Reason being, when I use gej perique or mov apache I can only handle it in small amounts then feel like I need to shave my beard and turn in my man card, but I have to have them on occasion. So, a couple of tanks, get it out of there, and back to something like vita bella.

I'm using Ahlusion Lime Cream, which isn't the cleanest, but isn't one of my real coil gunkers for sure.
That was my reasoning. I wonder if this has a smaller chamber and therefore needs a slightly lower wattage? But 14.5W on a 1.2 ohm coil doesn't seem excessive to me...
I'll fiddle around with it more and see if I can't come up with something.
I swear I could have written this post. You and I like the same stuff. I'm actually down to three flavors. Dragon's Fire and CAT (non-NET) from HHV and MOV's Apache. Yes, Apache is a gunker. And I too vape it for only short stretches for the reason you point out. Sure do love it in those short stretches though. But as an ADV, nothing compares to Dragon's Fire. And I really liked my Vita Bella too....just not enough vape time to fit it in. But with these rebuildables these days it is quick and cheap to de-gunk them. Removable decking like with the KM3 was always kind of a worthless feature to me except when vaping super gunkers where wick changes and dry burning are frequent.

How sir? That gr8 majority had no idea of this characteristics/design until it was released. And there is a huge population out there who prefer anything under 22mm, including me.
K-mini 2.1ES was [is] the most flavorful K'fun out there. It is still a prized possession of many like me. It was unfortunate that SM had to discontinue it early 2014, the reason being the sudden influx and change in preferences towards larger devices. Remember Hades, Vapor Giant, Xpromizer etc.? And basically due to the total decline of Ego batteries. Ppl were distancing themselves from the Egos like a plague. Mechanicals ruled. All 22+mm ~ and even the noobs were grabbing mechs as their first devices. The 2.1 was a 14mm atty, matched for an Ego batt.
However, the moment 2.1ES stopped production - the fans, including me, started anticipating a changed version of it hitting anytime soon. We thought 2.1 got pulled down to make way for a li'l larger mini. Something in line with the fav 16mm units. My discussions with Eugene that time came to a sudden halt when I was told a 16mm version might not be viable for them. I understood, wrongfully, that they might be pursuing 14mm itself with some superior modifications.
But alas, they came out with a 19mm. And after two years. I knew it last November. And was petrified -- a mini, in 19? But knowing all the specs - and their reasoning - I understood it'd be just fine. Lo behold, grabbed it, and love it. The bloody thing vapes exactly like the 2.1ES ~ but with better airflow, better filling system, easier setting up and sans any worries of leakage or dryhits, plus the other pros. The 2.1 needed extreme care to setup.
So yes, it is a winner. And there's a huge market for it. Vapers in the EU prefer it that way. Not to mention the looming TPDWhich Flo tho won't agree (re: Plumes vid) - but was a consideration at SM.

Haha, I've always had sleeves on them. There's a reason those sleeves aren't on them for that picture...and that reason ain't pretty. HahahaWow! Your DNAs don't look nearly as beat up as mine
I keep waiting for one of mine to give up, but they keep on chugging along. I've had my eye on a Provari Radius, but I can't justify looking further until one of my existing 40W mods die...
Lol. That makes sense. I have a couple sleeves (one for each), but I don't like using them as it makes the mod harder to get in and out of pockets.
I fully expected these to give up the ghost, but after over a year of steady use, they are going strong!
Absolutely!
I use my vape gear hard. The only mods that I have that have been used regularly and still look new are my HexOhm & my Reos. Everything else either looks beat up (my rDNA40s) or flat out broke (too many to list).
To be fair, my SM products seem to hold up very well! Which reminds me, I need to get some more glass tanks for my new Mini V3...
I took a look at those Dicodes Tiny Mods. Sweet little Mods the same 19mm as the Kayfun Mini v3, and as many if not more features than the Provari P3 for less $$$. Just not sold here in the US and scared of that Customs Tax. But sure would be a SWEET fit, and well made Regulated Mod
I finally got mine apart over the weekend and switched out both the upper and lower o-rings on the chimney section. Seems to be working as intended now. Lot's of different o-rings included so I suppose they were anticipating some having issues like I was. Thanks to all of you for your help and suggestions!

I'm in the same boat (wanting the Radius). Problem is... I only carry around my provari 2.5. That iStick with the wobbly top won't fall apart if I just keep leaving it on the shelf. And it's going to take a long time for the ailing button on the Aspire 30w to completely die I only hit it a few times a week.Wow! Your DNAs don't look nearly as beat up as mine

I hear you! Sounds like it's time to kill off a couple of the heard to make room.

Day 2 with the v3. I've been outside, back inside, cold, heat, cold.... no leaks. Maybe it will leak when it's 100 degrees this summer, but one of these will work.

I will order one and take my chances if I can get some assurance that it will sit flush on the 510. The Tiny has a fixed 510 pin. But there is so little information out there.

I like it also however no where have I read that it would sit flush. And there not real popular here in the US so not much information. So I would hate to spend that much for it not to fit what It was purchased for; also the battery isn't the normal size which is difficult to get. Just saying
But I sure do like the clean look and 19mm Top Cap.
By the way for those reasons and a couple of others "Q" doesn't think it's a good purchase either; and that was good enough for me.
