Well I just received My nice shiny copper 10 ML Kraken for fast tech. This unit only set me 15 buck what a deal. Ok as far as tt being a fastech item everything was up to par.
I watch so many reviews on this unit I thought since my wife was placing a order already I would pick 1 up. Well first off the unit is way to big and 2nd it only holds 5ml so this is totally false advertising. This is one bloated piece My wife TiaFun hold just as much juice and it still a 22mm unit. The kraken is a 28 mm unit making just a big fat blob.
On the deck has phillips screws that don't even unscrew right they bind after you back them out just 1 turn also they are poorly made every screw driver I tried on them seem to slip then do give extras but I am sure they will be needed.
Next the deck the negative screw has no post and the positive post is a pain to get the leads from both coils on and secure them so the deck was just terrible to build on. I really do not see what all the craze was on this mod.
After a dozen of so set of coils that everyone says should 3 mm I found that not to work very well at all ending up with coils of 4 wraps trying to get this built at just under a ohm. Finally I scraped the the 3 mm and went to 2.38 mm with 9 wraps and most of the builds I seen where open coils keeping the wire separated that was terrible so I just made me a 9 wrap pair of Micro coils ending at about .8 Ohms that worked much better and also using natural cotton wick.
So I got it working very go at this point as long as you are a lung hitter it fine. I have yet to get a good tight draw working right. I need a dozen builds to get that working I am sure.
The other thing about this unit is it noisy it whistles with air flow wide open so I plan in my build to get the vape temp right with it closed about 25 percent to avoid sounding like I was playing the flute.
So in the end I would say this get about a 5 out of 10 from me the deck made building very hard, poor quality hardware, noise operation, Unnecessary oversized unit to hold only 5 ml of juice, really need to used on a 28 mm PVD
Not a good unit for mouth draw best suited to lung hitter
Big NASTY DRIP TIP!! This thing is pure junk first thing that had to go
Pros
The finish was nice on the copper, it has glass clear tube so you can vap and juice without worry of cracking, Air control works great all but the noise when wide open.
Works well as a Auto Dripper mode getting close as you can get to dripping with a tanks
I just don't see why the fuss over this unit it just is not all that great my Kayfun and my Tia fun blows it away for flavor and vape quality
For some that vapes as a hobby and like to try lots of build I guess it would be great once you get a decent set of screws for it, I would get them a bit longer and put a few small washers on the deck that would set the coil off the deck with having to tweak the coils to lift them off the deck.
IMHO I would not buy one of these unless you have been into rebuilding for a good bit and feel comfortable with using many types of wicking material like SS cable or screen eco wool silica.
Last big issue it the Positive post for dual coils is barbaric trying to wrap and tighten 2 coils at the same time is a pain also one could has to be a right hand wrap and the other has to be a left hand wrap but both leads must be wrapped in the same direction as the screw tightens and you need to get one full wrap around that center post screw and make sure you keep some alignment pins in the coils til everything get tight.
Cotton can be used but its tricky you really got to keep it loose it swells when wet and if you tread it thru the deck to tight it will choke the flow.
Like I said I have it working pretty decent right now but a good bit of cussing and wire was used to get it right for me. So it can produce very good vape and flavor as long as you spend the time to get it right and you will spend some time
So I would say this is for advanced users that have built many rebuildables before messing with Kraken it a monster in all ways most not good.
I not say its not a good mod in the right hands because it is very good once you work the bugs out but plan on getting a few grey hairs in the process and send the kid out the room LOL
