I use pretty thin juice. Mostly 80% pg. The last few purchases have not been great for me... Fogger, rocket... I need something that just works. After the rocket, I'm scared to death of kayfun type things. Anywho, I want advice from someone that uses thin juice on what to get next. Currently I drip and use a rsst in autodripper mode with the fill hole plugged. It rarely leaks and is the closest to what I want, but it's always right on the verge of a dry hit.

Is there anything out there that just works? I need it not to leak when laid on its side and must improve upon wicking from my current setup or I'll just get another rsst.

Thanks

Thanks to tax returns, my budget has gone up. I still want the most bang/buck, but I also want something that is going to work well. I'm now thinking Russian, kayfun lite plus, expromizer, even ithaka. Not against clones if they work consistently. I like a fairly open draw.... Hate leaking(more than a drop)...

I've been kinda spoiled with my 20watt drippers, but I need a tank for driving.

Real deal KFL (+, or not) to be sure. It's nearest comparison, in my opinion, is the R91, which I am smitten with, but because of its blasted compound center pin it tends to leak from the 510. I like it because it looks like stone and has a cool name.

KFL's have no such center pin, thus no excessive propensity for whizzing onto your mod which makes it a winner in my book.

Unless, you're into the whole Taifun, Flash-E tank-drip-wick sort of thing -- which I am not, because I'm lazy and a little afraid of them.

+1 on a KFL. If you have the dollars I would by a real one, as the market is currently flooded with clones/knockoffs of varying quality. Many of the clones deliver the same performance with less dollars, but to be honest, I would trade both my clones and the price diff for a real one at this point.

Of course for less that $40 for a clone, IMO you can't buy anything close for the price. Transformed my vape personally.

EDIT: And if it turns out you don't like it, due to the limited production runs on the authentic KFL, you probably won't have any problem selling or trading it for something else. I doubt that you will want to let it out of your sight once you get it set up to your liking. Micro/cotton setups on this are just amazing. I have been running a coil on my first one for more than 4 weeks. Even though my juice is REALLY REALLY dirty and builds up badly on the coil in just a tank or 2, I can clean and rewick in 5 minutes and it is like new!

Why are you afraid of the taifun/flash e system?

You could also try a Nautilus. It's not meant to be re-buildable (it's a dual coil clearo) , but I've found it to be quite nice.

My experience with RBA's isn't massive, but I've quite enjoyed my Kayfun Russian 91 clone. I understand the Rocket got lousy reviews, so don't judge Kayfun on the Rocket.
