Note from svoemesto:
Kayfun 5 – a message to “mouth to lung” vapers …or traditional vapers, I should say.
What we have observed
Since the Kayfun 4 was released, we have observed that around 50% of all Kayfun 4 customers have bought a 4S Kit, willing to sacrifice adjustability to increase the airflow. Furthermore, we still received feedback that many vapers were still missing a little bit more airflow.
Intention
The Kayfun 5 is by no means a “subohm tank” only. Our core focus has always remained on flavor and usability. It can be used as mouth to lung device and, thanks to being adjustable in air- and liquid flow, it can be used with a variety of setups. It was not our intention to build a cloud chasing device, but we recognize the fact, that there are vapers at any stage, from beginner to enthusiast, who simply prefer direct lung inhaling and who’ve been neglected by us in the past.
Kayfuns have always been modular and customizable
As with most things, the truth usually lays somewhere in the middle. Therefore, most of todays vapers like a setup somewhere in the middle.
We’re confident that, for the vast majority, the Kayfun 5 will have an airflow setting you will enjoy.

It seams that the new trend lately is to make the "let's please everyone Rta" by providing a range of options for vapers. I've seen DL tanks try to be MTL tanks as well as the opposite. But when that happens you lose a bit on either end. Does the KF5 do that? Well some MTL vapers think it does not have the tight enough draw as the older ones (KF2 ex.) DL vapers think it's too tight.. while the KF5 does have a huge range to satisfy a majority of vapers, if you fall into one extreme or the other there may be better options was what I was getting at.
You are running .3ohms 3.4-3.7 volts in TC mode is a lot different than Wattage mode .3 ohms Kanthal at 4.2v =58w. To get a quicker ramp up for a kanthal Clapton even higher watts can be needed. With the small chamber and restricted air flow, the wick will get carmalized and get nasty quick due to the fact it can't cool down fast enough.. That why Svomesto recommends .5ohm 30-35w to max out at in wattage mode.. but I'm sure there is some wiggle room there.(TC is different obviously)
If your going to spend a $120 and expect to throw high wattage builds you can find a better tank for $40. But if you want a tank that can do MTL and sub ohm at lower wattages With a restricted DL it's the best money you will ever spend.
If it helps I'd say I'm an in between vaper in all aspects. I don't vape MTL or quite what most call restricted DTL, tight restricted DTL. I do subohm .5 but its a 5 wrap 26 awg nichrome at 12-15w. I'd say the trend is more geared toward DTL thse days, most new tanks I almost need to close it to get a good vape where just over a year ago everything was wide open airflow. Need to buy a separate drip tip too, wide bore just wasn't big enough for people now they need to cover almost the whole thing I guess.
I'm mostly an mtl vaper, my first setup was a curve20w and a nautilus mini & the nautilus mini is still my favorite tank to this day. I've just got a triton mini that I am really happy with & I have tried alot of sub ohm tanks inbetween but it's really just not for me, I've tried the tfv4, the tfv8, the cleito and a couple others and they are just too airy of a draw for me.
@Gramdogg I really hate them wide bore drip tips, it reminds me of a car exhaust hahaha

Yeah they are all super airy subtanks, As far as factory coils I think the subtank mini, melo 3 or joyetech ego one mega w/ CLR may be good ones to try. All have RBA decks or coils available and a nice in between vape. Most RTA's today I can tell just by looking at them they are no good for me. Add 22mm to the mix and maybe 10 tanks in the last year interest me, other 10,000 are no good.
Yeah not keen and rtas etc are too fiddly for me, get shaky so Triton mini is fine
