Morning folks, glad to see the thread got going again... thought I broke it Sunday lol.
Not sure why people are scared of a mech, unless you are sub-ohming or very careless they're pretty foolproof.
Andria, careful in thinking that the "fuze" function of the kick will work as the same level of protection that a regulated mod will have, my "vape safe" fuse went out in the first 3 days and was useless. The good news is that even if you have a short you will feel the mod get hot very fast (not burn you hot if you stop pushing the fire button) and pull the battery out. In several cases I have had a battery get hot this way and was no worse for wear after cooling down.
The main thing is to simply learn to vape safe. Learn what your battery is rated for and don't go past it, you will notice a drop in performance (without a kick) long before you harm the battery and probably before you would recharge with a regulated mod (near 3.6 volts).
In any case I would recommend 30 amp batteries (Sony vtc4's and efest) since they give a high enough amp rating to go down to .2 ohms (even if you're not looking to go there) and will last nearly 18hrs even when vaping at .5 ohms.
Either way, be safe and remember to use your head... oh and get a mod that's vented. You'll thank me later

Not going to say I was right (that's silly) but I am glad that its working better for you. Just remember with kayfuns, and similar attys, its about balance.
Actually it *should* be 18500's with a kick but, I don't know the mod in question. And if you like the length and don't build below that 1.5 ohms you don't really need anything fancy in terms of power or protection.
Am glad you guys have been. Posting about the kayfuns, just got one from the classies for a steal! So now re reading you advice for my first build!
It is coming from over seas so will take a bit to get here but really looking forward to getting it!
Glad it worked for you, here's how I deal with cravings...The last couple days, I've been having some fairly strong cravings. I didn't smoke, but it sure wasn't very comfortable, especially yesterday when my asthma was bothering me and I couldn't really vape as much as I would have liked. So, this morning, my daytime tank needed a top-off, so along with my regular daytime mix of Virginia, I also added some Virginia WTA. I have to say, it's been remarkably successful in preventing cravings; I really can't think of a single one that made me feel really uncomfortable all day. Anyone who's struggling with cravings, give the WTA a try. It's working really well for me. Hopefully this means that it will also work to prevent that negative frame of mind around the 3wk/3mo points.

Several people commented the same thing (thankfully I work inside an air conditioned semi) but I would suggest trying to build it and test it outside.No, no, you were right. lol I was just focusing on the wrong details.
Still being finicky. Went through a whole tank just fine. Second tank dry hits. But I see I am on the right track now.
I know what you mean about RBA tanks. I started with RDAs. Obviously, they are much simpler. With RBAs there isn't a lot of margin for error.
I find the same thing with my Taifun. It either leaks like crazy or dry hits. But I have that one figured out, pretty much. Just having the RIGHT amount of cotton. And of course, the right sized coil size affects that too. At least, it does with my builds.
The T5 I just got is a dream come true, though. It is amazing. Seems to be more forgiving as well.
The crazy thing is this about my Taifun. As you know, I use a VG heavy mix. I live in Las Vegas, and it gets into the 100s right now. I have been trying to vape more when I am out working. SO I make a build on my Taifun inside in the A/C. Get it working well. Go outside. I keep my gear shaded, but it's still hot outside. VG starts to lose viscosity in the heat. A good build inside becomes a leaking, gurgling build outside.
