So a little advice here is needed.
I'm sick of cartos, protanks, clearos and all that jazz.
At home my setup is a Genny of some sort and I love them.
I'm looking for a solution for work here and I've Been thinking about a kayfun lite maybe its clone the Russian 91% .. Looking for thoughts from who own one or the other and if it's a work friendly tank or not? Pocket friendly? I've been watching reviews and honestly I'm very interested but the price keeps me needing more help first.

Ever thought about getting a REO, or Vmod? They are great for travelling! Ask Papaw!

I had a REO grand for 2 months. I'm a tank/Genny guy.
Never used it and traded it.
Vmod is even more not for me.
Thanks for the suggestion though chak.

I'm on every day. I'm out of our home due to major construction, so it's tapatalk only for a month. I'm lurking mostly. I don't participate in co-ops at ECF anymore and don't have the resources to sell in the classies without my pc. I have a lot of stuff to let go of too. Ithaca clones, Nimbus v3, EA Mod, Nemesis, Bagua, Poldiac parts, Fluid Flask, Igo-W, and others I can't remember.

As for the Kayfun/K-lite, it's my preferred silica atty. The only thing that would make it NOT pocket friendly is its potential to leak if exposed to sudden temperature change. A rapid increase in pressure due to temperature can flood it. The way to combat this potential is to pocket it upside-down allowing air pressure to equalize through the air intake. (I do this when I leave the tank in a hot car).

Glad your lurking at least X. We need help around here yuh know! :)

Speaking of, does the cable wick on the AGA suffer resistance creep like the SS mesh?

I don't check resistances after I have a solid build, so I couldn't say. I only use gennys with mechs. I also use silica sleeving around my cable wicks, so resistance doesn't fluctuate much at all. The distance from the wick to the positive should be equal to the distance from the wick to the negative. If they aren't symmetric, there will be issues. The AGA series is notorious for this potential problem because of the greater gap from the wick to the positive post.

I know I need to go subohm with that Genny (using a mech). But I don't have a mech and not in the market for one at the moment. I'm fairly happy with the Genny on the Provari at 1.2ohms...if I could just get it to stay there.

So if kebo is enforcing the msrp and it's just a few dollars less then a kayfun lite I guess they made my decision for me huh?
Just gonna be patient for once and wait for an American seller on the lite to get back in stock. It's cheaper

All I have to say is (IMO) if you never used it, you don't know what you're missing! :D
