Are you looking for an answer or an argument? Seems you might have a slight problem. I speak from my experience and really could care less about yours. If you have money to burn then burn it.
So its ok for you to speak from experience but i cant?
And how is spending 20 dollars on an atty that wont screw together or hold the build deck and insulator in place saving money vs spending 35 Dollars on one that works flawlessly?
Not looking for an argument trying to share my experience and understand how to make smart affordable purchases. As well as help newer vapors learn from my mistakes and save themselves time, money and keep their frustration levels down to help them successfully transition from smoking to vaping... i thought that was the purpose for the forum?

I agree the Fogger 4 and 4+ are better than the Kayfun in airflow and vapor production, however.... For someone just learning to build coils, 1 might be hard enough to get right or consistent..... 2 might be a bit overwhelming. I would defiantly tell everyone to keep it in mind for a future purchase. Master 1 consistently before trying 2, and so on.

As for needing an Ohm's checker and which Kayfun.... I say YES, you need some way to verify your build. You can use a multi meter if you have one that's accurate, or buy a checker with a 510 on it, even use a protected MOD with a reader(not really recommended though). These all have benefits and drawbacks, the multimeter will do a lot more than a basic checker, but lacks a base to help hold your atty while you build it, and the MOD as your only checker.... what if it's wrong or you get eager and forget to check? I tend not to put an atty on a device until it's ready to be on there. The Kayfun's I still have are the EHpro lite+ and Hcigar 3.1, I recommend Hcigar simple because of the parts you can buy if need be. The Hcigar and authentic parts would never work well in my EHpro and I could never (even now) find back-up EHpro parts for that kayfun. I would tell you to stay clear of the fast tech stuff, the ones I had all had leaking or wicking issues, some of these were no big deal to fix with a small grinder bit, but I'd assume you'd like to vape it, not fit it... right? LOL



Agree 100%! My first tank for my mod was a fogger v4.1 and I wasted 15mLs of juice on improperly wicking. It is definitely not too fun to build on. If you have a lot of extra wire, juice, and patience, have at it! If you happen to have PG and VG, make a 50/50 mix and use that as your "practice" juice so that you don't waste the expensive flavor stuff ;)

I'd venture to say that most who have successfully recoiled a Protank will be able to grasp the techniques necessary to use a Kayfun. Once you learn to take it apart and put it back together, the rest is winding a coil, developing the skills to create a workable cotton wick, priming it, reassembling it, and then you vape.

I actually find it easier and more rewarding to coil a Kayfun than recoil a Protank. The end result is certainly worth the time in vapor and flavor. That, and once you have a working coil in operation, you can just re-wick for several weeks or more until the coil pops.

Ehpro clones are very good. I have 2 as well as a real Svoe, and there is no difference vaping them. An ohm reader is always a must for building, the easiest ones to use are the ones with a 510 connector for you to screw the build deck onto. Or use a mod with an ohm reader built in.

A lot of people look at the Kayfun as old, but in a world of new shiny things, it is one device that just keeps on performing without trouble, day in and day out. I consider it to be an essential piece of vaping gear.
