K100....only cuz that's what I ordered (black). Still in the mail system. Hoping for saturday!
I don't own a KTS, but really like my K100. The bottom fire button was a selling point for me, but hear good things about both. I would decide what look you like best and go with that. Quality wise I believe they are quite similar.
I debated back and forth before I ordered my K100. From the reviews and research I did it seems there are less missfires with the K100.
That said, I do sort of wish I had grabbed the KTS. I have very small and relatively uncalloused hands. I find a full day using the K100 leaves my thumbs raw (from the joint of the colored part and the inner tube) and my pinkys bruised.
I stuck an oring in the joint to pad it and plan to line the bottom of the button with felt to pad it but it is annoying that it just HURTS so much to use for me.

Don't have a K100 but I do have a KTS+ flattop. Like the KTS enough that it has become more used than my Vamo. I get almost 3 days vape time from a single 18650 (not a real heavy vaper) tho, YMMV. Great vapor out of 1.8ohm & below delivery devices. Not so much on higher (2.5). Not a real large mod in 18650 mode and should be quite small in 18350 mode. Bottom buttontook some getting used to but, now I don't even think about it.
VAPE ON !!!!
VAPE ON !!!!
The K100 or 101 seems to get better reviews than the KTS. I almost pulled the trigger on the new multicolored ones myself.
Despite that, seeing that you are a new member here on the forum, I would advise against purchasing any mechanical mod if you haven't been vaping very long. They lack the safety features of other battery powered mods, so they definitely are not for beginners. The part of mechanical mods that attracts experienced vapors is vaping on lower resistance atomizers. I would advise you to do some research before you pick up your KTS, K100/101, or any other from Fasttech.

I have both.
The K100 is extremely heavy, heavier than my ProVari. Not crazy about the bottom button, but I love the way it looks.
The KTS is very light (a little chintzy). I like the pinky button better than the bottom button.
Both work very well, it's really just a matter of preference

I also own both of these and agree with everything Cookster has said, but add the following:
1. The KTS has a better look to it, though some have posted here that these looks will fade over time as the plating will fade
2. The K100 bottom button...its not so much the button placement but that the thing requires an inordinate amount of force to fire...if you are having 10 drags its ok...if you are chain vaping it though you will develop arthritis.
3. The K100 is much heavier and more solid than the KTS.
4. Of the two I use the KTS more BECAUSE its lighter and b/c i hate that bottom button on the K100.
Now to sum all this up, both of these are worth $20. I mainly use them as pocketable short trip devices in 18350 mode. It's nice to know though that you can telescope them out and use an 18650. I live in hurricane country so reliable stuff when the power inevitably goes out is a bigger deal to me that most.
Good luck with whatever you choose.

I have both and they both have their good points and bad points.
KTS- it's looks great and is light weight. If you do slight modifications, you can get it to hit very well. The slight mods would be just sanding down the connection points to reveal the brass. Although it looks good, it isn't very sturdy. The tubes are very thin and the chrome plating is a fingerprint magnet. Another issue I had with mine was the switch assembly. If you mess around with it too much it'll come apart and its not that easy to put back together. If it accidentally falls apart and you lose the spring then you're going to have trouble finding another one that fits.
K100- it's built really well but it is a little heavy. That may be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Unless you're using an RDA, many attys are a larger diameter than the mod. The fire button is pretty stiff and I've knock my teeth quite a few times when the mod slips while I'm firing and the spring shoots the mod forward.
Overall I like both and would recommend them because of the price but FT has the V3 mod which I think is better than the KTS or the K100..

This is what I was getting at earlier. I vaped mine all day for one day and gave myself pressure bruises on my pinkys. I am going to try padding that bottom button but I am not sure how much that will help. The button really is that hard to press.
believe it or not my hands are too small to do that.
I just can't get a good enough grip
The KTS, or the K100? Hmmmmmmmm order both!
I hold the K100 cupped in my hand and fire the button with my palm.

I have both and love them. My KTS has no Ego cone threads (easily fixed with an adapter) and won't work with an 18350 battery.
