Cloners have been busy, I just checked 3fvape and they have KF Lite clones from:
Ulton
Shenray
Yftk
Sxk
That didn’t take too long. I think I won’t get one, I have Prime and never really liked it.
MTL Tank suggestions ???

Ah yes, great point. I usually try to eyeball it when watching a reviewer install a coil.Agreed. If you skew the geometry installing the perfect wind you never see what it's capable of. Knowing what the device calls for dimensionally puts you in the ball park. Pretty is good but pretty good's not good enough.
Min internal distance of the post hole or block, pos or neg. The max or spread, i.e. the Ø of the hole, would be useful too as then you'd know how much wire you can fit. But the min will tell you how long the coil might need to be to avoid splaying of the leads (outward). This is one of the most common causes of shape distortion of the element. Also potentially a source of strain variation which could affect thermal output or balanced output of the element or pairs, as you well point out.
As well the pos-to-neg across the air hole, assuming a bottom fed air supply, is useful to know to properly calc lead length and get a reasonable est. for resistance.
Good luck.
I never understood, for example, why someone would try to squeeze a long coil on a small KF deck and distort it whilst tightening the post screws. Seems like common sense.
Agree. I have an Ulton qp Juggerknot Mini and it's an absolute 1:1 right down to the pita deck just like the authentic
A handy little trick to space your coils whether you've built them yourself or buy contact premade. Slide the coil on to a mandrel. Hold one end down with your fingers and stretch out the coil by pulling the opposite leg. Then smoosh the coil together again. You'll end up with an evenly spaced coil. The spaces don't have to be big to get a correct TC reading but even is important.
It's KF Anni Day for us! 2/27/16 - 2/27/19!!
Wow, I'm 180 from the AZ girl. I rather enjoy the Ares (muchly) but did not enjoy the Zenith at all!
Funny how taste is subjunctive, innit.
Hi Everybody, I`m struggle with this tank situation a lot. I recently bought Innokin Ares - I really don`t enjoy it at all in flavor department , also leaking, I`m using it with included Kantal and cotton. With the pre made coils was awful and I make own 2,5 with 7 wrap and it`s lil better but again not that I expected. Before the purchase I saw so many positive rev`s and etc but I don`t find the flavor which was described. Now on the way is OBS Engine MTL and I hope will have better flavor because is small - 2ml and the travel distance of the vape will be shorter. However I really really enjoy the vape production flavor and everything from Aspire Tigon tank with the MTL coil. So any advice because I`m little discouraged
Play around with building , high coil lower coil , space coil wraps , wick , try different ways , and some times with wicking it can take half a tank before it really starts putting out ex exceptional flavours
When you have built and wicked it before putting chamber on fire it see if its really throwing out vape
Not just center of coil but also sides where wick enters
Sometimes minor adjustments to wick when built can really make a difference

I wasn't really able to get non-muddy flavor from my Ares. Honestly when they broke within days of each other I did not even try to get them warrantied, that is how "meh" they are for me.
Honestly if you can wait (while you experiment with the Ares, and good luck on that) get a doggy style clone from Fasttech (not the new more complicated one, the original one) for like 12 bucks. Some of the best flavor you will ever enjoy from a tank and really, only a few things you need to know setting it up, etc.
Good luck... I don't think there are a TON of Ares devotees, maybe some. Maybe some will have some advice for you but I really don't.
it's not like the Ares was TERRIBLE exactly it just wasn't....great.

Just received some Vaporesso Drizzle MTL tanks, looking interesting so far. Can get from a restricted direct to lung hit to sucking a hedgehog through a hosepipe.
1.8ml capacity, seems small but we will see.
They use the new EUC-MTL coils, one traditional (1.4 ohm) and one CCELL (1.3 ohm), got to sort them and clean them and I'll be able to give an opinion then.

Here is another MTL / restrictive direct lung tank.
Taifun GT 4. A few less parts than the KF5, but not by much and not if you're looking to break it down completely to clean it.

GT v2-v3-much tighter airflow, than V4,
By ka v8 out now 22mm has replaceable deck airflow inserts,
Dvarw 22 is fantastic .
There is quite a good list of Restricive DTL -MTL Atomiser and some of the best ones in my opinion are inc the pic below

To me - coming from huffing plumes from RDA's - it's at the same level as my KF5 on setting 4 (largest holes open). And to me, that's a restrictive lung hit. Tank wise, it's probably one of the more restrictive ones I have. As I do have a Dotmod Petri RTA, a Siren 25, and Fancier. The siren is the only one that - wide open - is more restrictive. The Prime and the original KFL+'s I have when the screws are out have pretty tight draws as well. But those are strictly MTL tanks. The GT4 is a restricted lung hit - and when dialed down, can be turned into an MTL tank pretty easily. Will you lose something in lieu of dialing it in that tight? Hell yes you will, but can it be dialed into an MTL draw? The short answer is yes.
