K lites are great. I agree. The best rba to date? I guess it depends.
I've had two of them for a couple weeks now. I ordered two more yesterday, because I'm shelving a couple of my genys that I just don't care for.
The K Lite has some nice advantages. It sets up easily. It doesn't leak when laid on it's side. Heck, you can even hold it upside down and it doesn't leak. The flavor and vapor production are great.
However, I can't honestly say that the flavor and vapor surpasses that of a well set up geny. Close to, or equal, maybe. Currently, my best performing devices are my two DIDs, set up with ss mesh wicks, and 28ga kanthal, metering at .8 ohms, on my Poldiacs. But, they have to be handled with care, because of the glass tanks. I've yet to surpass those set ups with my K Lites, with my micro coils and cotton wicks.
So, I guess I would say that if I were starting out today with rebuildables, and had never set up a genesis type, I'd be very happy with the K Lite as my "go to" RBA. But, having been setting up and using genys for quite some time, I can't say that I'd abandon all of my genys, and begin using K Lites exclusively. But, they are a great device, and the best innovation to come along in a while.JMO
I agree completely with all of the above. My DIDs have slightly better flavor than the KFL and quite a bit more vapor production.
However, in my arsenal, the king of flavor and vapor is still a dripping RDA...especially a dual coil setup.
