Hey guys,
I currently have a kayfun lite + by tobeco and I love it. Running it on a nemesis clone with a single coil around .9 ohms. It took me a bit of trial and error to get the leaking, flooding, and dry hitting issues cleared up. Just had to find the right combination of wick thickness and length. That being said, I'm looking for another rebuildable tank atty to supplement the kayfun. I do love my kayfun, but I have 3 kids(a 2 year old girl, and 4 month old identical twin girls) so my time is very limited. The kayfun requires re-wicking everyday for me and the juice I'm using. Can anyone recommend another rebuildable tank atty?
Something that doesn't leak is a must for me. I was a closet smoker and now I'm a closet vaper. So I always have my setup in my pocket for when I can sneak away for a few minutes.
I would prefer something with 3 posts to make setting up dual coils a little easier.
Thanks!

I know of no three post RBA's (not to say there aren't any). Only genesis style "three post" rebuildables like the Kraken. You could try a Fogger V4 or an Aqua which are two post dual coil tanks. Considering you like to pocket carry, you may be better off getting a simple clearomizer like an Aerotank and learning how to rebuild that.

Well I've been very happy with my RSST, and on a Nemesis clone, prolly the same one you are using. I've never tried a Kayfun anything, but it really doesn't sound like I've missed much. You might not want to get into genesis RBA's if you have so little time available, but I'd just like to offer that I've never had dry hits, leaking, or flooding issues with my RSST.

I build it straight genny and get a very satisfying vape from it for hours at a time. I should mention I also build it sub-ohm, and you are already there. Making SS mesh wicks might be something you don't care to get into, given all those on here who can't seem to do it right and rant about it here, but I never had a problem with it, and make wicks just to kill time when I'm bored. Coiling them has never been a problem for me either, it's like making a cup of coffee, but there are apparently many who can't get that right either. I can't even guess why, but you might want to look into it since you won't get the issues you say you are having with the Kayfun Lite +.

I actually have an aerotank. I tried rebuilding it without any luck, but that was before I got any rebuildables. I might have to revisit the issue. Do the fogger v4 or aqua leak in your pocket?

Leak free options are limited save for tanks like the Kayfun. For a non rebuilding option, with better taste then a clearo, you can try out a cartotank. Once the carto is primed and the liquid in the tank is feeding it well, there really aren't many issues. If you get a quality tank, the carto should stay in place pretty well. Taste isn't as good as a Kayfun in my opinion though.

I could be totally wrong but I never considered genesis. I thought that pretty much all genesis style atomizers leaked if not upright?

I don't have a Fogger V4 but it's probably just as sturdy as a Kayfun. I do have an Aqua clone and it's a pain to build and fill but that might be just because it's a cheap clone. That being said it's never leaked on me but it only holds about 1.8 ml of juice so you have to fill it often.

As for the Aerotank, I made a two part tutorial on how I rebuild the dual coil into a single microcoil. Click on the blue "2" next to blog entries under my avatar if you want to check it out.

    Tobeco kayfun clones are very much hit or miss as far as QC is concerned . What you are missing is having the flavor you can only get from an RBA with the convenience of being able to throw your setup in a pocket or purse without worry of leaking . The RSST is excellent for at home use , not so great for out and about . My HCigar Kayfun clones never leak ,gurgle or flood . They deliver solid flavor until the tank runs dry . You won't know what you're missing unless you try a genuine Kayfun or a good clone .

    The RSST is a very nice rebuildable, and just cuz its a genny does not mean you have to use mesh in it. I set mine up with 3mm silica from the tank to the build deck with cotton covering the silica ( silica feeds the cotton). I use a horizontal coil on mine ( the coil lays in the cotton) when time comes to rewick, I just pull the cotton and do a dry burn to clean the coil, restuff fresh cotton under the coil, soak it a bit with the juice and its ready to go again. Only time it leaked was when I forgot to put the filler plug back in the hole... other than that, it doesnt leak.
