Understood. However, they did not have an atty in the mini market. And I have to believe they are working on more than one project at a time and the mini just happened to be ready for release. Lastly, I would not use ECF as a barometer for the world market. For example, the masses don't want anything to do with rebuildables but you'd never get that impression from ECF
All true, Bronze.
(And, by the way, I ninja added to that previous post... doesn't change anything, but go back and read it.)

It is a huge con because the great majority want an SM atty with the characteristics of this mini in a full sized tank; i.e., a K4Lite. SM would have satisfied a much larger audience by releasing a K4L product rather than this and bring this out further down the road.
How sir? That gr8 majority had no idea of this characteristics/design until it was released. And there is a huge population out there who prefer anything under 22mm, including me.
I remember when SM discontinued their Mini 2.1. There were a good number of people who were disappointed. Still don't know why they discontinued it. Maybe Q knows.
K-mini 2.1ES was [is] the most flavorful K'fun out there. It is still a prized possession of many like me. It was unfortunate that SM had to discontinue it early 2014, the reason being the sudden influx and change in preferences towards larger devices. Remember Hades, Vapor Giant, Xpromizer etc.? And basically due to the total decline of Ego batteries. Ppl were distancing themselves from the Egos like a plague. Mechanicals ruled. All 22+mm ~ and even the noobs were grabbing mechs as their first devices. The 2.1 was a 14mm atty, matched for an Ego batt.

However, the moment 2.1ES stopped production - the fans, including me, started anticipating a changed version of it hitting anytime soon. We thought 2.1 got pulled down to make way for a li'l larger mini. Something in line with the fav 16mm units. My discussions with Eugene that time came to a sudden halt when I was told a 16mm version might not be viable for them. I understood, wrongfully, that they might be pursuing 14mm itself with some superior modifications.

But alas, they came out with a 19mm. And after two years. I knew it last November. And was petrified -- a mini, in 19? But knowing all the specs - and their reasoning - I understood it'd be just fine. Lo behold, grabbed it, and love it. The bloody thing vapes exactly like the 2.1ES ~ but with better airflow, better filling system, easier setting up and sans any worries of leakage or dryhits, plus the other pros. The 2.1 needed extreme care to setup.

So yes, it is a winner. And there's a huge market for it. Vapers in the EU prefer it that way. Not to mention the looming TPD ;) Which Flo tho won't agree (re: Plumes vid) - but was a consideration at SM.

I'm thrilled they came out with a 19mm atty. Finally gave up on finding a good 19mm RTA and got the KF4 a month ago. But I will definitely be getting this when my vape budget is recharged. 19mm is a great size for me. A little less top heavy and nice match to the provari 2.5, which is my current rig.
As far as small capacity, I enjoy changing flavors quite a bit, so that no drawback at all. Most of my flavors are in a couple of overlapping circles, so I don't even change the wick unless it's gunked. Vanilla makes a great transition flavor, btw. Vape some tobacco flavor, then half a tank of vanilla, then whatever you else you want. Yum.

I can match that kind of...DNA 30 and 40 :)

Wow! Your DNAs don't look nearly as beat up as mine :)

I keep waiting for one of mine to give up, but they keep on chugging along. I've had my eye on a Provari Radius, but I can't justify looking further until one of my existing 40W mods die...

How often are people finding they need to re-wick using this atty? Normally I can get two tanks out of my KFv4 without issue. Yesterday, I ran two tanks through my the Mini v3 (which is only about 4ml of juice) and found my coil completely gunked up. I don't mind refilling this tank a few times throughout the day, but I need to be able to get through a full day without having to re-wick...

For reference, it's the same build in both attys -- 28ga Kanthal, 1.2 ohms, 2.5 mm, contact coil at 14.5W.

What liquid are you using? I've filled mine up four times since it came in the mail yesterday and this morning tastes the same as yesterday. I'm using HHV dragons fire. 60/40

If your K4 can take two - this should be able to get you at least four. With the same Ohms, power and juice. I am re-wicking after every four [sometimes five] tanks with my KM3.

Dragon's Fire is a very clean burning liquid. I usually rewick after 10mls but I know I could go more with DF.

I wish it was capable of duplicating itself. As far as juice capacity, the description told me how much I can fit in it. Actually, the name of it told me it wouldn't hold 5 mls. It's like buying a DNA 40 device and complaining that it only does 40 watts.

I bought a Mini Cooper....I just wish it was bigger.....:lol:

You gave me a good laugh. :lol:

My her mini skirt is short.
