I really want to pick one of these guys to add to my collection. Anyone have some knowledge on which would be better? Personally I like an airy draw because I have RDAs with drilled out holes, they spoiled me: sorry not sorry. So I'm leaning toward a kraken because it has the adjustable air flow controller. I'm not sure what brand these are on those sites, I think the kayfun is a tobeco no idea though. Any knowledge and opinions much appreciated!

Well, I think you're comparing apples and oranges. A kayfun and a kracken are different style devices.
My recomendation, get both of 'em!
I dont think you'll regret a kayfun, Depending where you get it. I reccomend the black edition off eBay.
Haven't used the kracken, but I've been eyeing it.

Have you ever used a Genesis style atty before? They can taste amazing and SS mesh has such a nice crisp flavor but they have a learning curve. They can't generally be placed on their side or they will leak. If you go with the kraken you should also buy the supplies to run SS as well. You can use other wicks but you should really try mesh. I have the hcigar clone and it is really well made. I don't know if I could tell the difference between it and a real one. The airflow control is perfect and it holds a fair amount of juice. I cant imagine a better genesis tank. I just wish it wasnt such a pain in the .... to set up, as I can't seem to get these genesis attys down.YMMV of course. I wont get rid of mine ever even if it just sits in a drawer for awhile. Some day I will figure it out and by the way these come in brass which is awesome.

I have a clone Russian 91‰ from FT and an authentic Russian 91‰. The authentic is substantially better made than the clone. The clone's juice channels were poorly cut and needed to be dremeled out. I also needed to work on the air holes to stop whistling. I really like this device. I have had the occasional dry hit but I chalk that up to not setting the wick right. I wish I could get the wick and coil without draining the tank. This makes it slightly frustrating for me. All in all this is a nice vape. I do have the air flow screws removed and it is the right draw for me. It is not an overly airy draw.

I have 2 aqua clones. One from FT and an ehpro clone. Both are well made but the ehpro is slightly nicer. They are a pain to coil since it is a dual coil setup with only 2 posts. Wicking it is less precise since you can adjust the juice flow. It has an airier draw than the russian by a small amount. You can get to the coil and wick without draining the tank. It only holds 2.5-3 ml of juice but it is easy to refill. It is the closest vape I have gotten to dripping using a tank. The vape to me feels wetter, denser and warmer than the russian. I love it.
