My two favorites are the Kayfun Lite and Eleaf Lemo. The Kayfun has a tighter draw and is better for mouth to lung hits and the Lemo has a much airier draw, like a dripping atomizer and is better for direct lung hits. Both are extremely easy to build and will perform great at your target resistance.
Is Kayfun made by SvoëMesto?
What's the difference between the Kayfun, mini, light, light plus?
There are some different versions. I am using clones (Ehpro) of the Kayfun Lite Plus V2. The V2 (clones or authentic) are the latest version of the Kayfun Lite. They are 22mm in diameter so they are the same diameter as a standard mechanical mod. The Kayfun mini is a smaller diameter atomizer, which I have no experience with.
There is also the original Kayfun 3.1, which is the first. The Lite version is...obviously...surprise...lighter. It also has some other improvements over the 3.1. Unfortunately I have never owned one and don't know for sure what exactly the other differences are.
That's really all I know about the previos versions, maybe someone else can help, though I am VERY pleased with the V2 and therefor have no reason to research the older models.
And yes, the authentic Kayfun is made by Svoë Mesto.

Oh, and one more important detail - both the Kayfun and Lemo are single coil, which makes them a breeze to build, and provides more than enough vapor for my use. If you think you may want to do dual coil builds you may want to look eslewhere.
the only other thing to add is that the kafun (and I believe the lemo) are 22mm diameter devices. That means they will overhang the edge of the iStick by a couple mm. I saw a pic on the "eleaf istick" thread and it looked a little goofy. That said, I'm a kayfun man all the way, and I ordered a couple isticks.
ok thats a good starting point, i'm a little overwhelmed by the different makers of the kayfun so lets focus on the lemo any complaints or unique features?
Here's a pretty big thread about the Lemo.

The Lemo is great, but imo the Russian 91% (a great Kayfun Lite clone) is better. The overall craftsmanship of the Russian is superior. With that being said, the Lemo is no slouch. The airflow control has a much bigger range, the build deck is larger, and the tank itself is glass. Also, I believe the Lemo is 23mm.

Between my wife and I own 8 kayfun 3.1 es FT clones and just love them. The 3.1 has the airflow control and fill port on the side of the tank while the kayfun lite models have the airflow and fill on the bottom.
I have threatened but have not yet given the KFL a try yet.
Easy to build, great vapor and flavor production.
Mine will ooze juice a bit after a fill/re-fill from the air hole, using top fill technique. I just blow through the drip tip and catch the excess juice in a paper towel. Other than that no leaking or flooding problems at all. Been using them 2 months now.
I build 32ga or 30ga, 2.5ohm coils on a 3/32" drill bit. The coils last "forever" or until I decide to try something new. Wick are sterile cotton balls that last about 4-5 tank fulls.

Single coil rta's seems right for me. I don't understand the 22 and 23mm diameter part? If it fits on a 510 connection why does the diameter matter?
never mind I saw it after re-reading, it will hang over the istick and look goofy. I'm not concerned with that part. they both sound pretty good. are there other quality single coil rta's worth looking in to?
The Lemo is my personal favorite, but there are others well worthy of mention. After the Lemo, the Expromizer is my next personal favorite. Excellent flavor with slightly better airflow then a kayfun. Similar build deck style to the Lemo/Kayfun but has the advantage of being able to rebuild and re-wick without having to empty the tank. The Taifun GT shares that same handy feature and has great flavor. The build on the Taifun is different, but also relatively easy.
The Expromizer and Taifun GT are 23mm tanks like the Lemo.
I know it's been said five times, but i'm going to have to also recommend either the ehpro kayfun lite plus v2 and the eleaf lemo. Both are fantastic devices. I have to say the Kayfun is still my favorite, but I still have a lot of experimenting to do with the Lemo.
Even a 22mm tank overhangs the istick on the side. No biggie 
. The istick is a good value so I'm not complaining.

check out the Erlkonigin thread here too. I have a KFL and a Russian 91. and a Erlkonigin. I will be buying another Erlkonigin. they aren't cheap.. but they have great air flow, the best taste I have experienced... for some juices, I prefer it to a RDA even for flavor...
For now I want to avoid clones. My moral compass might change as time goes on, and who says buying a clone is wrong. The Lemo seems like the direction I'm going with for now. I like smoke-evolution they seem to be a good place with lots of variety.
How does the pressure work, when I lay it down should I expect leaking from the lemo, or any rta?
Mine hasn't leaked. Technically they shouldn't but I do try to keep them upright. However, on my motorcycle, I put them in my tank bag and so far so good.
Yes the Kayfun was originally made by SvoeMaesto.
The kayfun clones are made by ehpro, tobeco, and hcigar.
