Papaw , there are RBA's out there that will put a kayfun to shame but it takes more than a Provari to get the best out of them along with a harder build , that new DNA40 is pretty interesting , they're saying it'll supply a full 40 watts down to a .16 ohm build with kanthal .
I took a REOS down to 0.7 once, comes out to 19.5W. Didn't like it- too hot and the flavor of my favorite juices seemed distorted. Could be the 70% VG liquids I order. Either way, I prefer staying around 9W for my HHV liquids, maybe a little less for Highbrow and AltCig juices. Really not interested in 40W, although there does seem to be a market for that sort of thing.
It depends on the atty , I keep the Kayfuns around 1.5 , I've played with them and they're not good at subohm , not enough juice and airflow to keep up especially with 100%VG , but pushing dual or more coils can definitely kick the flavor up in other devices , that new DNA40 does go all the way down to 1 watt , and with the temperature control system to prevent burnt juice and wicks it's gonna be a serious contender .
I do want to add that Evolv did go a little too conservative for some at 40 watts , there are people that like to run high resistance coils at higher wattage to get the effects of subohm with more coil surface area , and better battery life , that's something I'd like to play with but 40 watts is a little on the lowside for that . Gotta see how that temperature control plays out though .
I run my (one) REOS in that range all the time in a Cyclone. It has plenty of air flow to keep it cool enough - for me. And the Zenith I just built at .3 has huge slots for air flow to keep it relatively cool. Probably not big enough for the cloud chaser crowd, though.
1) I agree. I ran a KFL down to .9Ω once, but didn't like the result. The tri-coil Gus Estia is the only tank I use these days. It does fantastic at the .7Ω I typically have on it. But then, it has juice flow control and real AFC (I never considered the Kayfuns AFC to be useful). It doesn't leak when going from A/C to 90+ degree weather. And it's simple to close the JFC and AFC if I think there's any chance of leakage.
2) I agree. I usually have duals in my drippers, since they're easy to build and really taste good to me. But when I use MM or Zipper wire, one coil is good for me. Heck, that 0.3Ω, 6 wrap Zipper is HUGE!
3) I agree. While I enjoy the DNA30, I don't much care for it's limitations. It looks as if the DNA40 fixes all of the things I didn't like about the 30. And I can't wait to try one for that TC feature. All to often, I try to get just one more vape than I should on a drying wick. Rayon helps a lot in that respect, but I've been known to burn a rayon wick in half, too.
I wondered about that, too. I might try one of those high watt regulateds, but there aren't any that are tugging on my wallet strings yet.
Just prowling around the ECF this rainy morning, I happened upon a thread you gentlemen might like, or at least understand...
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...iscussion/610407-high-end-regulated-mods.html
I posted my VV Grands there as 'Dinosaurs' to their 'cutting edge' stuff. Got a few "Nostalgic" comments...
But there are some really impressive PV's there (most of which are over my head)

For the record, I don't agree that there are RDAs out there that will put the Kayfun to shame. I find RDA's to be maybe a notch more flavorful than a Kayfun but we're not talking about leaps and bounds here IMO. I think the attraction of the Kayfun is that it is a tank atomizer that produces flavor that approaches dripping quality. If it was just another clearomizer-level atty it would have failed long ago.
EDIT: Correction posted on next page.

Arrgh, another Q thread! My wallet jumps in fear when I run across his threads. Imma read it anyway
I give my wallet to my wife before venturing into Q's threads. I was at work when I read the Erlkoenigin thread and we all know what happened then.. 
It was RBA's - not RDA's - Retic was talking about. I think he's referring to the Rose, since he's been pretty darn pleased with it overall.
You can start with the Erlprinz, it's the SS version and is only $40 something. For the few cosmetic changes, it's a very worthwhile and cost effective "clone" released by the original manufacturer themselves. All spares are interchangeable. Vapdivrr even said he enjoys the vape and air-flow on the Prinz vs the original ErlK.

I stand corrected. Sorry retic.
