I have one of those barrel tanks on the way for my SJMY version. Love it so much I bought it a shinny new mod as well, lol

The black Tobeco is on fire as well now, I may need another one of those too. I think I'm done trying other RTAs or at least for a while now, like Dubminer I am really satisfied with these.

Regarding your remark about flavor and smaller chambers, have you tried the K5 mini yet @KTMRider? Mine should come in this week, very curious to try it.

Another amazing thing i have noticed about the Kayfun v5. I have dropped my nicotine level from 18 to 9 without noticing a difference and still use the same amount of juice a day. Also i have cut my flavoring levels from 8 to 4 percent without noticing a difference in taste.

Well payday. Ordered mine from Eciggity. Im hoping since they're 8 hours behind me here in CA, there might be a chance it'll still get sent on its way today. Should arrive in perfect time for my days off this week. I really dig my Cthulhu V2 I just got, but its not consistent from one refill to the next. Lets see if the KF5 can knock it down.

Did you have to jump through any age verification hoops with them?

Yes actually I did. Had to give my DOB and last four of the social. I was a little unsure having to give the last four digits of my SS# but whatever. The manual process for getting verified was too much work. If somebody wants to steal my identity have at it. Nobodies opening any credit cards or getting loans using my info anytime in this century hah. :D

Grrr......... I'm not giving anyone my ss number. I understand that they offer an option of adult signature upon delivery, but maybe you should ask for that specifically.

Thanks!

My SXK mini arrived today. I haven't had a chance to put a build on it yet but I did just clean it so it's ready for action whenever I am.

It's very nice as well, but frankly it's not that much smaller than the full size version. I wonder if the difference is worth the lost in capacity.

I'll fill it with a syringe when I get to it to see how much goes in there exactly with the steel tank, I hope I can squeeze 3,5ml in it but we'll see.

I did found a small difference by the way, but it's just in the driptip. The little metal bottom part of the driptip is shallower than on both my full-size versions and won't fit the little K5 nipples that 3fvape sells. The plastic nipples I got from FT fit just fine however.

They did have that option but I have no clue when it will arrive, and no one is ever here when the mail arrives unless its my day off. They charge an extra $2 for shipping it that way as well.

Still no build, it's hot and I'm lazy today, but here are some quick pics:

The mini does look a lot better on a smaller mod like the Cuboid mini imo.

Perhaps I shouldn't have stuck it on a Nugget, it might make it look bigger than it really is.

But it's more a medium than small imo.

I have another idea, brb.

I mentioned this the first time I saw this "mini" posted here, seems long a go now. I looked at the measurements and as you've discovered, it's not much smaller then the full size. But hey, ENJOY it, as LONG as it works, little word play there! :)

How's this?

Just a tad larger than a 2ml Bachelor Nano and slightly smaller than a 4ml Kanger Toptank -which ironically is also called a mini-.

Looking at it like this it's a pretty normal size for it's capacity I recon.
A friend bought the v5 mini. I like it's size better than the original v5 clone. I like the bigger deck for sure, compared to the KF mini v3. Could subohm safely without melting the insulator---i figured.

P.S. the flavor on the V5 mini is spot on---built a twisted doubke strand 28awg for said friend. 0.6 ohm at 28 watt---full on flavor. A great atty for sure if you guys are wondering.

28G twisted wire is all I use on any of my RTAs, great flavor indeed

Does the Mini reduce the evap chamber?

Thanks, Jim

I have both my full-size versions in use at the moment, so I can't take them apart to compare the chambers right now without making a mess, sorry.

I need to re-wick the SJMY soon though, I'll take some measurements some time this week & get back to you.
