RBA question for a Provari

[CrimsonJack]

Going back on topic again. (had to quit flirting first)

I don't know the differences in the various kayfun models yet and not sure how to compare that to a Sophia.

The regular kayfun is larger, has side fill port and adjustable air control. The KFL has a bottom fill port and no adjustable airflow control, the KFL+ has the bottom fill AND airflow control. The Lites are both smaller than the original kayfun (hence "Lite"). The Russian and Russian 91%...well, technically clones, but of equal (some say better) build quality. From what I understand, the Russian folks that originally designed the Kayfun had a falling out. The guy that owned the rights went to Germany and started building Kayfuns, his disgruntled partner took the design to Kebo and they put out the Russian. Here's a link to a pbusardo video where he reviews the KFL and the Russian 91% side by side. The KFL+ came out after that, I think.

samwise;

best to start your own thread for the most feedback. it's bad forum etiquette to hog up someone elses thread.

as to your question. build another one exact same specs, maybe one less wrap. this time bring the coil as close to the lid as possible and square it up right behind the air hole. trim a little length off the legs of your cotton and thin it out a bit. you'll have much better results.

Thank you, and noted about the thread. Sorry OP.
Thanks for the advice!

I've tried searching, with no luck.

How does a Sophia compare to a typical genesis? Currently using a Steamboy, 2ohm/30awg/8wrap micro coil, cotton u-wick now. When moving to RDA and RB I found I needed to move from 24mg down to 12mg, and now 6mg nic. Will I get similar vapor volume (a lot),throat hit (very little), and taste(great)? Or will the Sophia tend to be more subdued, like a typical carto/clearo?

We are too much alike when it comes to some things.

Well, you are a whole lot prettier so that's a difference . All the women I know in real life are tom boys and I am starting to suspect you are one those those too. I have really liked our short messages. We will have to do longer ones sometime.

Do like horses, climbing rocks, getting dusty on the trail?

I didn't see this until now. Lol. Also, not gonna get off topic.

I haven't been able to find a Sophia either. I'm still looking though. I would love to compare it myself.

So we don't end up taking more threads off topic I will direct you then vanish again.

You probably didn't see post #666 (LMAO, odd things pop up when interacting with you ) in this thread. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/provari/501193-greetings-our-newest-members-67.html

Just joining in on this thread as I am also curious about the differences in the Kayfuns. I love my IBTs but was wondering if an RBA would also be an option. I've never had or built an RBA so just wondering....

I love my KFL+ It is a real quality piece I use it on a Provari with a beauty ring nice slick look
I use 28 gauge Kanthol 10 wraps around a small screw driver = 1.8 Ohms I use organic cotton for a wick
I find it pretty easy to rebuild The coil lasts for a long time and I change the cotton evey week
I have never had any flooding or leaking problems at all! the centre section of the tank is Plastic
The tank hold 4.5 mils of juice last me all day
I have never tried a Carto but every other tank I tried( PT 1/2 & mini Aspire nautilus Iclear 30s) the KFL+ blows them away with better flavour and vapour
The hard part is finding one in stock some were
they are in stock here for 120 dollars Canadian so with the exchange would be cheaper in US funds and they do ship to the US DashVapes - Rebuildables & Mods - SvoeMesto Kayfun Lite Plus

 

[shellro07]

Thank you for the information! Would the KFL+ be the best one to buy for a beginner and are there good recommendations of videos or blogs to learn how to build (I will look into that on my own too)?

I have a Kayfun and Russian 91 and find the R91 used more for some reason.

 

[Steamer861]

I would say it is beginner friendly here,s a video were he does 2 styles of micro coils cotton builds on a KFL+ I do the first example

I also have both and the threading and the finnish on the KFL+ is a little nicer but besides that I find them identical

Thanks again! I'll check that video out. I really appreciate it!

I am still waffling between a Sophia and a Kayfun.

Someone one is sending me an AGA T2 they never bothered to use. I am going to learn enough trying this out to make a better decision between the two? Will the AGA T2 be enough of an example to tell me if I should stay with my carto tanks or move to RBA's? Does anyone use both daily?

Carto tanks have worked out so well for me that I thought I would never look at RBA's but the feed back on the RBA's have made me have to give them a try.

 

[Ozwald]

I don't think the AGA T2 is really going to help you make a decision - completely different platform & you really can't compare it to a KFL or Sophia.

Will it tell me enough to know if I want to pursue RBA's?

Maybe? Genny styles are not as easy to set up as a jay fun style, but that is a good genny so you will know if you like genny style for sure. If you can suspects fully build a genny you are golden for other attys.

I am going to guess I will not stick with the Genny.

I am trying to decide if I want to stick with carto tanks or move to RBA's.

Carto tanks have really been working out well for me. Good enough that I have not even thought about a clearo for a long time.

Honestly, I don't think it's close enough to form an opinion. It's like if you want to learn to build something, trying out woodworking isn't going to help you decide if you're going to like welding.

I use carto tanks and rbas. Cartos are for work and out of the house when I need the dependability and no fuss. Rbas/rdas at home or for short stints out of the house. There is room for both!
