The newest Taifun GT3 is not mouth to lung. The original GT was and the TGT2 was heading towards lung hits but not quite there. The 3's definately are with added juice control. This one is the best

I bought 4 Kayfuns when they went on sale somewhere but have not tried them out. Sort of bought them in the interest of "can never have too much if the sky falls'

This one looks good. 316 stainless and $14.29.

I am so glad I didn't have a struggle switching. If it had been at all difficult I'm afraid I wouldn't have done it. I know the cigalike I tried first was terrible & I blew off vaping for several months. I had no one to advise me. I am glad I gave it another shot with an ego/ce4 set up & actual non tobacco flavored juice. That did it. Nic level, flavor, device. Boom! I had no craving, except wanting that flavor. Didn't even reach for a cig.

I didn't realize at the time that vaping had given me the power to quit without cravings. I did find myself making the transition from 40 a day to 6 a day with no cravings, but I held on to the after meal smokes and the ones with morning coffee for a while.

that looks interesting, but the black is $5 less, and since I like my Kayfuns so much, wouldn't want to spend too much on something I may not use :D

There are a few different ones. On the Taifun thread most have ordered one or the other of them and had problems and seems I remember hearing the one (metal box) I got was the best. This is why I ordered it and it is great from the get go. If you decide to get one might as well get the trouble free one. I do not know about you but I hate getting gear that does not work good from the beginning. Bad orings seems to be a thing at FT as are bad packing, bad machining and ill fitting threads (ha wonder why we order from them eh?)
I do have my bag of "I must have every oring known to man by now" but I feel it is just easier to not have to deal with that. And it is a tall sucker. :)

I got one of the cheaper ones, might have been that one, came with the glass broken. Had to argue with FT to give me my money back. Next time I bought the other. Came in a metal box. Works perfect. No changing of the orings and well machined threads

I've been surfing Fasttech and it looks like they have lots of stock, unlike the American online vendors that haven't yet received their after CNY shutdown orders. I guess it's order lag that will ease by the end of March. You'd think that American vendors would anticipate the shut down and stock up before.

I've never ordered from Fasttech because I didn't want my credit card in their database. Now that I know they accept Paypal I'll start doing business with them.

From what I saw most of the GT III RTA's had no name brand in the ad except for the SXK and Coppervape. You have to wonder who's making these and why they are generically listed.

The Kayfun Lite Plus V2 search page is virtually sold out or discontinued. I guess at some point we'll have to find a more modern version of Kayfun goodness! I'm glad now that I've been stocking up on Kayfuns. At last count I have 15 or 16 various Kayfun styles, most in box and unused for the future.

I have a feeling that the Kayfun is the most commonly stockpiled topper. Especially the most common to stockpile 12 or more of.
It & the Subtank or Protanks & Nautilus are probably the best selling tanks ever. But KFvs are prolly #1.

How do you like your Hex Ohm?

Love my HexOhm Kenna. I ended up buying one of the last from Craving before they were all gone.
Thanks for helping me.
Might get another some day. I really find that I need only one high powered guy. Keep it at about 50 watts with an aromamizer atop. Usually some sort of liquid from Stash in it. Mornings and after meals it gets most use. It really does not leave the house

However, just cuz they are doesn't mean they're for everyone. I don't like any of them.

They stopped making the ones we have (v2.1) when they came out withe the v3.0. Not much difference. It now has an on/off switch inside, & colors are more true primary colors. Then there are the Limited Editions, too. And Hex Angels.

Ya, I finally figured out why the coil in my KF lasted for over a year. Ya have to be using them to have a coil go bad. :lol:

If it wasn't dangerous a Teflon coated coil would be nice to have! Clean coils just vape better. I find myself dry burning and re-wicking 2 or 3 times a week just to get that new coil flavor.

Is it common to re-wick that often?

So, last week I got a new nemmy. My mod-stand has seven holes, and that empty hole was bothering me. Tonight one of my coppers fell on the floor, and the top-cap and kick-tube got sort-of mashed sideways. So I replaced the top-cap with a spare I had, and tossed the mess. Got out a fuse and set it up straight mechanical. Why do things like this always happen?

So, setting aside the "WHY?", I unkicked all of them and set them up with fuses. I am amazed at the tiny differences with batteries and tubes. Some with kick-ring, some with an o-ring for small adjustment.

Sheesh!

But I am using the kick-tubes and the unused kick-rings as storage for the kicks.

Hmm, maybe, maybe not. :facepalm:

IMO, partly depends on an individual's taste and taste sensitivity. Some will sense a flavor change as the coil gunks quicker than others.

And the juice itself will make a difference, since some gunk coils faster than others.

So, it's really just when you start to get unhappy with the taste that you need to do some maintenance, and if you need to dry burn, well, you will be replacing the wick :lol:

I usually have 8 - 10 KFs going all the time, all with different flavors. (I wick with rayon.) With some, I'll start to sense the flavor going "off" after 3 or 4 tanks (KF2, 4.5 ml), some I won't start getting unhappy with until 7 or 8.
