Good they have come out with the air restrictions, but as the kayfun had always been directed towards MTL vapors, they should come with the tank, shouldn't have to make another purchase for them, but that is just my opinion :)

And a spare glass tank. ;)

I'm cutting Svoemesto a bit of a break here. Maybe someone will tell me I'm wrong but I don't think they did much beta testing on the K5. I'm thinking they rushed this one to market to beat reg deadlines or something. That said, they still made a seemingly excellent atomizer (I'll know more Thursday when mine arrives).

No @MKBarca I'm with you.

@Bronze I will be interested to hear your take once you've had yours for a few days. I agree that they were rushed to market but I don't think the design/functionality was anything by accident. Once someone gets those MTL kits, and spare glass, stateside I will drop an order.

Hi everyone, first ever post here. Been reading thoroughly since I received my K5 a week ago. Am I the only one who prefers the Kayfun 4? The looks of the K5 just look so ugly compared to all previous versions.

I'm from Northern Ireland by the way.
Whenever I think of Northern Ireland I think...

I agree. They rushed both the KMv3 and the 5 to beat the deadline. That's fine. Then they had to improve the deck insulator for the mini and that insulator in now included, I'm happy to say. I do hope that the airflow reducer will come with future K5s, as it should.

As for the glass tank, if they don't want to include a spare, they should revise their packaging--it's not so hard to wrap/secure that glass tank better so it doesn't shatter like Qorax's did.

I'm pretty sensitive about airflow. I definitely prefer it tighter than most people. I'm very interested in seeing how much I can dial down the K5. I'll compare it to my original KFL (no air adjustment) and my KFL+ (which I removed the air screw).

I am a MTL vaper. Always preferred a tight draw. The lowest setting on the K5 is not terrible but I would prefer it to be tighter. I vape 12mg nic and at times I feel like I'm getting kicked in the throat at only 11/12 watts.

The K4 was/is a beautiful work of art in my opinion. I loved the complexity and detail of it. The K5, although a great tank, just looks boring compared to it.

I agree

I agree with you. The KF 4 looks much more luxurious than the KF 3 or 5, and that's why it is much more expensive. But from functionality point of view, the 3 and 5 beats the 4.

"Good" atomizer (as everything else in vaping) is very subjective. What works for other hundred people might not work you. I bought and sold a few highly regarded atomizers in the past just simply because I didn't like the vape (or airflow, noise, design/aesthetics, etc) no matter how hard I tried. K4 is still in my stable though :)
