got myself a new toy kayfun v3.1 ES Styled , should arrive in 3-4 weeks.

I figured maybe after 6 months it's time to try rba

Greeting rzil!

I recently got this one: https://www.fasttech.com/products/1692100

Just ordered (they're already en route): https://www.fasttech.com/products/1699800 and https://www.fasttech.com/products/1733900

I like the coil I've built on the first one, but I'm still fighting wicking 101 to get it to not yield dry hits... All part of the education I'm looking forward to the minis - I have a couple VV3s and Spinner 1300s on which I think they'll work well (presuming I can build them appropriately!)

Good luck to you, and keep us posted

That kayfun mini looks pretty sweet , would love to read your review about it.

I'm looking for the rest of the gear I need for an RBA , any idea where are can get good wires and organic cotton wicks ?

Organic cotton balls is all you need for wick, amazon has all guage wire for a reasonable price or a place called lightning vapes

For kanthal wire, check out Amazon for some Temco wire spools. They come in spools of 100 feet, and are super cheap. Here's what I use most: http://www.amazon.com/TEMCo-Kanthal...672433&sr=8-1&keywords=temco+28+gauge+kanthal

For organic cotton, I highly recommend Koh Gen Do 100% organic Japanese cotton. They're a few bucks more than standard drug store cotton, but you don't have to boil it, and you get great wicking and flavor off of it. 60 pads in a box, so it will last you a very, very long time. You can get it at any beauty store, but I buy mine online here: Koh Gen Do Organic Cotton Pads at DermStore

Other than that, you'll want some solid batteries with appropriate amp limits (depending on your build). AW, Efest and Sony VTCs are the popular ones I know of and use.

You'll also want an ohm meter (to check the resistance of your builds), a volt meter or multimeter (if you are using a mechanical mod), and a decent battery charger (typically Efest LUC chargers or Nitecore Intellichargers).

I'd like to give you a little advice. I recently purchased some black Kayfun clones. Washed 'em all up. Coiled, wicked and filled the tanks. Pretty damn good vape!

However, after about the second tank, I noticed that paint that was on the chimney was starting to bubble and peel. Yikes! I used my fingernail and a pocket knife and removed all of the paint off of the chimney before washing again and reassembling. Why in the hell they decided it was a good idea to paint the chimney beats the hell out of me.

Thanks Jax. I will keep an eye open for that

It says you live in Israel, so I'm not sure where to get rolled cotton there...but in the US we have a store called CVS....they sell rolled cotton for around $7, which is essentially a lifetime supply of really great cotton.

I've tried other cotton, and I can taste it. People raved about peaches n creme yarn cotton on here....I tried it, ended up giving it all away, YUCK.

Try for sterile cotton balls, or sterile rolled cotton.



As for wire.....Temco is the place to go@!

Kanthal Wire 30 Gauge RW0105 - 25 FT 0.1oz Series A-1 Resistance AWG

You can also order from Temco on ebay. FREE shipping. 100ft of wire is around 7 bucks...great deal.

I'd start with 28g wire.

Yea....there are TONS of kayfun clones out there.

Personally, I recommend EHPro Kayfun Lite+, Version2, stainless silver. You can find them on ebay for about $30, and IMO they are the best kayfun clones out

I've got some good KF clones (polished and SB) but I wanted some black KF's to match my mods. Matter of fact, I am still looking for something that is black other than painted. I've even got a post up over in the "Where can I get a .......?" forum looking for an anodized black KF (authentic or clone, although I prefer authentic) here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/where-can-i-get/580230-black-anodized-rba.html.
