I just received my kit today!
I would get new batteries for it. I only plan on running mine in 18350 so I purchased 2 18350 Efest batts.
I have not sanded down my contact points yet and I haven't drilled my airhole on my igo-l tank.

Agree on better batteries.
The included ones are ok if you are using 1.5ohm and up but I would be wary of going lower.

agree with everyone about the batts, do not use them if you decide to go subΩ on a rba/rda setup. It's a pretty good mech and performs well out of the box. Sand the contact points to reveal the brass underneath and it vapes awesome.
Love the K100. I would recommend new batteries and a charger, but if you are using standard carto's with it it shouldn't be much of a problem with the ones that come in the kit. I use the cheap batteries like that in VV/VW mods that have protection and the better batteries in my mechs.
I haven't sanded anything or did any modding to mine and am still very happy with them. If you are thinking about rda/rba I would recommend the igo-l or s, they work great.
I really liked mine for a month a couple months - but then the poor plating job on the button started coming off. It looks like crap now.
On top of that, I dropped it on asphalt and it gouged the aluminum sleeve.
I can say it functioned very well. The airholes in the top help alot; the switch is a little stiff, but not bad enough to concern me; I loved the reverse threaded locking ring and the threads - just spins short and easily to lock and unlock.
The only thing I did to mod it was a piece of chrome vinyl wrap around the body to keep the sleeve from wobbling around (in 350 mode).

How exactly do u sand down the contacts?! Did u use 600 sandpaper grit?
Anyways, to the OP:
I agree, get new batteries, the ones that come with the k100 are garbage. I am a k1 owner and one of the first things I did was to lube the inside tubing of the colored metal piece, with vaseline. That way the threads are much smoother when adjusting to diff battery sizes.
Goodluck with ur new k1!!
I have the K-101 which is the same mod with a different outer sleeve design. I bought the unit only as I wasn't fond of the supplied batteries. It is a really nice , affordable mechanical. Depending on what you are using for a juice delivery system, sanding the contact points is optional as it performs pretty well even with the plated contacts.
I did sand my contacts after using it stock for a week just to see what the difference would be.
Icyice - I used 400 grit to sand the contacts. Some members put a socket in the tube to hammer out the pressfit top section for easier access. I just cut a piece of sandpaper and dropped it down inside the tube and moved it around with a pencil (eraser side against the sandpaper) and looked at it once in awhile and continued until finished. For the switch contact, you can disassemble it if you like or just unscrew the switch, unlock it, press it in with your thumb like you are firing it and use your fingers to press the spring down. That will give you enough room to sand. As to the center pin top part where the atty contacts, I'm still working on a decent solution

I agree, It is a very nice PV and especially the price is so low for such a nice mechanical.

Yup that's how I sanded mine also, I didn't take it apart.
Where do you all get your K100 stuff from (i.e, atomizers, atomizer cones, batteries, and such?)
The K100 was my very first mech, and I ran it with the supplied batteries with no issues. Probably not the best, but still.
I think you won't be disappointed. The K100 is sturdy and cheap enough that you won't feel any pain if you drop it (unless you drop it on your feet). It's one of my out and abouts topped with an evod or a Protank.

I am not familiar with mods at all... need to do my research... so, if I ordered the MOD kit, do I need extra accessories? Like an EVOD bottom coil clearo? I'm totally confused!
If you use an evod you will need to purchase a 510 to Ego adapter to use it on the K100. Dont forget. Evod is a good choice and dont forget to get eliquid too.. and the adapter 510-ego threads.. let me add, if you use a protank you wont need the adapter.. But get one anyways. They always come in handy..
Hard to advise you without knowing which kit you actually ordered. If its the one from Fasttech, then they come with 2 cartos and a drip shield. Which would be enough to get you vaping.
I personally like the Evods and Protanks, but really any clearo will work on the k100.
The k100 is ego threaded. You don't need an adapter to use the evod.
Okay sorry I missed the pic you posted in the OP. yep that looks like the Fasttech kit, so you should be good to go if you have eliquids.
