Thanks I'll try. Could it be my coil i.d. Is too big? It's 3.5mm.
I run a 3mm coil in mine, and have it around 2mm above the airhole.
I like the clamps, easy to get the wire trapped under them and to center the coil afterwards. The screws could be a little beefier though.
Keep your coil legs on the bottom side, clamp one leg then pull the other leg snug and clamp it down. You can then straighten and lift the coil before you trim the leg ends. Also easy enough to loosen one clamp if you snugged the coil up a little too tight.
The flavor is better now, maybe my rayon wick just needed a little time. I will try what u said next time I rebuild it. Thanks!
I just got one of these yesterday and threw in a quick 2x26+36 316L Fused Clapton build @ .6 ohms. Flavor is excellent! It is wicking beautifully on the first try and hasn't leaked at all with 3 tanks through it. I think I have the coil a little too high though. I'm getting a little spitback. I am very happy with it. I really hope they release a 25 mm version with a little more airflow. That would be the perfect RDTA for me.
Still digging mine. I have mine fairly low on the deck as there's very little space from the deck to your pork-hole. I don't use a lot of wick in the ports. Mine kicks out a dense vape.
I readjusted my coils lower and added more wick inside the coil. Spitting and popping is gone and the flavor is fantastic. I thinned out the tails and gently tuck them in to the juice holes. They only go a mm or 2 into the tank. I've been running it at 40 watts with a 25% 1 second preheat boost on the Cuboid Mini with Arctic Fox FW. No dry hits at all.
It's a great little stealth tank.
I run it on the iPV D2 with a higher nic level juice for when I can't have a regular rig with me.

Just got in the KOF. 6 wraps 26 ga twisted clapton running at 50 watts. Wicking perfectly. Flavor is awesome. Cloud production is about the same as the serpent.
I threw away my first serpent rdta. After reading the reviews, got another one to try some other wicking methods. Today I will put in a box in a closet, and try to forget I ever bought 2 of them.
On the other hand, some how I have gone through 2 tanks on the KOF in 8 hours.
Did you manage to buy it from a US vendor? I went with the serpent cause I didn't want to wait for airmail. Any idea of what the included clapton the serpent comes with is made of? I'd like to try tc out on it.
id like to hear from a KOF owner the same, the serpent is great bang for its buck but technically lacks flavor in certain departments. My o-genny which i just sold craps all over it in terms of flavor. I like the easy build deck but have experienced some ohm fluctuations in TC. I fixed the problem for the most part by really wrenching on the 510 screw enough not to break glass but stay steady. I will use this as everyday driver because it does provide good flavor and i dont have to baby it like my other genny. I have to award wotofo with the best air displacement to keep the coils wicked, and the two grommet slots for filling, which self seal with the top cap (seems like others should have done this). For a genesis ato, you want the juice not to form air bubbles which can trap the juice. Cant go wrong with this for 20 bucks. my rant is done lol )
I've been looking to try a genesis-style RDTA that can do a flavorful, loose MTL and came upon this thread. Some of you have done some relatively simple, innovative modifications to the Serpent Mini to get the airflow down to acceptable MTL levels.
I just came across a method in another forum and just thought I'd share:

5 days and the KOF is producing great flavor. A slight turn on the top cap to block the side air flow and it is pretty dang close to an MTL.
Only one complaint. The fill plug can be difficult to pull out for a guy who bites his nails.
Am I the only one who suffers from leakage? It leaks like hell through air flow hole. I tried 3 different coil types (clapton and alien clapton with 3 mm ID, regular micro coil with 2,5 mm ID) with different amount/length of cotton but result is same. I think condensed liquid fills into air flow hole from under the coil and also seeps between top cap and base since there is no o-ring. Any suggestion?
Edit: I checked the AF hole which under the coil and it seems liquid can not be seep into this hole easily since there is a little wall round the circumference of hole.

Not sure if you checked, but make sure that your cotton is not touching the airflow hole at all.
