I have a couple of v3's and I am happy with it, but thinking on getting a v5. What delayed me getting it is the poor mtl experience.

I've read get either the sjmy or the tobeco v5. Are either 1:1? Just wondering if the mtl kit works in both.

Also, I saw someone say he ordered the mtl kit from Origin. I'm in Canada and they don't ship there. Anywhere to get the mtl cheap in Canada? I'm surprised it wasn't cloned...

Last thing, I saw this thread on fasttech where someone didn't like the mtl kit and swtiched the post from the v3 into the v5. It works but looks weird.

kayfun mini v3 centre post fit kayfun v5: FastTech Forums

What do people think of the mtl kit?
I have the MTL kit from Origin Vapes..on my SJMY and it's a fit!! I put in the largest one for now..I did lose the TH (that I like) but I upped the nic and it's back..may be a little to much though..that's all personal preference..but yes the kit works for the SJMY..

MTL kit DIY.. I did read somewhere that people were making there own out of mesh and putting it in the KFs and the Rose ect..just another idea.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'd have to see an example of this to try it. I'll google around.

But it sounds like using the v3 air post might be the best idea.

Wish I knew how long ff&f took to ship. If I knew it was gonna be 10 days I would have ordered something elsewhere to hold me over considering I have no working atomizer ATM lol

When I've ordered a 24hour ship items (3 times), it has shipped next day or same day, and taken 7-8 days to reach my door (California).

10-12 days for me on the East coast. From 3f. The longest wait is here in the USA. Spends more time in the US than China. Usually hangs out in NJ n NY for awhile. I would have been at my local B&M if I had no atomizers!!! I barely leave the house for the day without 2 attys on me. Back up required. Loving the iCare for that. lol.

My SMJY finally came in the mail. 13 days from China to Pennsylvania.

I checked for the o-ring in the top cap missing (it was there) and everything else seems up to snuff aside from the screws. They seem a little mis-shaped.

I thoroughly cleaned it and lubricated the bottom o-rings with some VG, filled it up, and I have to say I am enjoying it so far. I am using it without the MTL kit right now on the smallest air setting; It is a direct lung inhale with a slight restriction on this setting.

Sadly I only have 80/20 juice to use with it right now, and I normally use max VG so I don't know if the juice flow will work as well for that, however the juice holes in the chimney seem to be very good size. The juice holes under the deck seem slightly bigger than the kayfun 4's. So I imagine it will work somewhat fine with max VG. I was going to use my Mitutoyo calipers to measure the holes and the dimensions, however the battery is dead since they use power even when they are off to keep track of how far along the track they are, and my eyes can't see 1/100th or 1/1000th of an inch like the calipers, but it does LOOK good to me.

The only other thing is the drip tip; I can't tell if it's actual delrin, or just some simple plastic.

I will try out the MTL kit later, However I have a feeling I'll be sticking to the biggest insert if I decide to do so, as I don't want it to be like trying to suck a thick milkshake through a skinny straw. The flavor is pretty nice on here, but I am only at 16w right now (trying to slowly break in the new wick). Also using a boring 2.5m, 1.1 ohm, 8 wrap kanthal coil. I'll try some fancier coils after I test the MTL kit.

EDIT: The screws are definitely off, or the posts outside of the screw are. The smallest set of screws actually touches against the side of one of the posts, when it is supposed to fit in between them without touching. I think it's the posts as my authentic kayfun screws did the same.

I have one on the way,will be interested to see if this is the case with mine.

Does anybody know the inner size of the drip tip on the KF V5? I just ordered some that are 5 mm and am wondering if these will be the same size as what my clones are.

I can let you know tomorrow. My Caliper battery took a .... on me so I can't get a spot on accurate reading right now. Sure looks close to a 5mm inner diameter however
