Ignore all the naysayers. You can fill these from the bottom fill hole a lot quicker than removing the top cap. Any soft nosed bottle tip will fit snug enough to the bottom fill hole. Fill about a third of the tank. Remove bottle momentarily (to equalize the air pressure), fill to two thirds, remove bottle again and finally fully fill the tank. Takes about 6 seconds...
I use a 2.5mm rod, 8 wrap of 0.35mm Kanthal for 1.6- 1.8 ohm coils.
A word of warning with FT though. I bought 3 Kayfun clones there before i found one that sealed properly and doesn't leak. The tolerances of the clones are hit and miss. Luckily all the various clones have interchangeable parts so even if you get a non perfect one you can mix and match with your next one. And you will buy more. And spare tanks. And different top caps. And different bases (you get the idea) !
Good luck.

If single coil, then why the extra screws? Not bein a "richard", just askin. Knowledge is power.

He's right; there's only 1 airhole, so single coil would be perfect.

(I haven't even tried to coil mine; not enough airflow for me).

I have several lite,s, nano,s and v3,s. Love them all.
15 in total, plus extra parts.
All from FT.

All work well, no leaks, and parts are interchangeable.
Bell caps also.

I can make 2.5- 3 - 4.5 ml capacity, depending on my outlook for the day.
Usually have 3 or 4 in rotation daily.

Each cost less than $15

Make my own coils also.
Anywhere from .8 to 2.2 ohm.
Good vape from all of them.

Cotton, rayon, silica wicks.
Good results with all.

Prefer rayon.

It may have 'extra screws' but that build deck isnt much bigger than a KFL. Ive seen people stuff tiny dual coils in them but its really tricky to do it with the little amount of room you have in there. As for the juice holes, its wicked just like a KFL would be, single wick with a tail going down each side. I dont think its got anywhere near the airflow you would need for dual coils either. Plus, they start to get really hot above 20w and coils start popping and the insulator starts melting down.

It has really good reviews, and i'm only looking to spend 12$ on my first clone.... just to try, thanks for the links though

You get what you pay for. spend 12 bucks on a fastech knockoff, I'd be really suprised if you get good results.
Back when Kayfuns were the big thing EHPro was one of, if not the, best clone to get. I have 4. No leaks, never replaced a oring, no issues.
But its your money, Just had to add my 2c. Best of luck.

15 fasttech Kayfun clones and no problems with them.
Good taste and vapor.
All were under $15. Most $12-13
Im glad that you got lucky in your experiences with a company well known for selling crap.
1 happy person < the 20+ that I've seen over the years on this forum with issues.
Just stating my experiences.
Best of luck

I'd say find a KFL with an AFC the one you've selected does Not have AFC.
I don't own a KFL, but I do own 8 KF 3.1's and just love them.
$15.61 Kayfun v3.1 Styled Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 4.5ml / stainless steel / 22mm dia. / w/o logo at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
My BIL & SIL just ordered two of these and are very happy with them.
The ones I own have been discontinued 'the gift boxed' ones.

I build mine @ 2.5 ohms and 1.5mm, 32ga micro coil. They vape great at 7-9 watts.

I like my coils to heat up pretty fast, and I don't use a high powered mod (toddle puffer). So I prefer 30ga wire, 2mm, 7-8 wraps.

My bottle has a smaller tip (not a needle tip) and I find that is perfect for filling. In the beginning, I thought the screw fill hole thing would be a pain, but it's really not any harder than unscrewing the base on other tanks. I shudder to think about dropping and losing that screw however.
