Mounting a coil in a small deck is challenging. Everyone probably does it the way I do. I leave it on my coil mandrel and use that for a handle while I lay it between the posts with the leads on the bottom and facing out to the sides. I wrap one and tighten it, then wrap the other and screw it down. That's much easier than doing it free hand.

If it's not centered after tightening I just put my thumb on the coil and rotate the mandrel to "wind it" toward one side or the other and use the mandrel to align it at 90 degrees to the posts.

They without a doubt are very helpful, those posts. Having authentics of both i know where you are coming from, they both have their disadvantages & advantages in my personal case. The 5 is no question easier to build, with myself specifically i just found that the MTL experience on the 5 (even with mtl reducers in) did not come close to matching the quality of mini v3 MTL vape.

However i feel that the v5 would appeal to more people, generally speaking. Adj airflow and the bigger capacity make the v5 more able to compete in the market these days, with the bajillion tanks available.

It just didnt work for me. If you find the v5 too loose, a metal tank can extend the mini v3 to 3.6ml or even 4.2 respectively, so then all it boiled down to for me was sacrificing those little posts, which i can live with (But at the same time really wish i didnt have to!)
If you like an airy-er draw, no question the v5 is for you. You could always get the mtl reducers if you felt inclined.

So you can see that after doing alot of searching & comparing they definitely both have situations where one would be preferred over the other, i dont think you could simply call one better than the other, just personal preference. They are too different to try and compare them head to head.

And i feel weird saying that, because back in the day i could say without hesitation "yes the lite plus is better than the 3.1 or regular lite 100%."
The v5 is really a new thing for svoemesto, and while i might not be a fan, i think they did it pretty well
Fortunately for me, I never owned a kayfun until the K5, so I don't have anything to compare it to other than my non-Kayfuns. Also, I prefer a looser MTL anyway. For me it blows away everything else I own, with the Siren being my second favorite (ease of build, smaller form factor, decent flavor). For the longest time the Lemo Drop was king for me, but I retired them when I got the K5.
