I just got mine today and just wicked it, I noticed two problems. One the 5-10 pin is way short and barley made it connect to my rolo dna 200 by unscrewing the 510 on the k5 a lil. Scared me when it didn't make a connection the first time. Second, my chimney has 2 logos on it. Does anyone else's have that? Don't get me wrong I love this tank so far, it is a great restricted lung hit for me. I am really impressed.

I wrote about my experience with the too short 510 pin, a post before yours, now a page back. I would be careful unscrewing the 510 pin at all, not a lot of threading, just holds the bottom cap on and the airflow ring. Maybe you can get away with it in power only mode, but I had to super tighten it to work on my VS DNA200, as I had drifting ohms, not good for TC vaping!

My Kayfun v5, has only one logo on the chimney.

Nine also has one logo,

Guys, I'm desperate here, I am having TC dramas here, build a coil, terminate it securely, just like I have successfully on all my other atties but I am having resistance creep, everything appears tight and secure but It's working flawlessly at .15 then a couple of hours later it's reading .20 and is horrible, I pulled it all apart today hoping to find something loose to no avail,

The 510 looks like it protrudes enough but I dunno...

I'm an exclusive TC vaper amber this is killing me, any ideas? Thanks guys.

Hey guys, is the K5 for someone like myself who likes the draw on the tight side? On the mini, or KFL for example, I have to tighten the air flow screw more than half way in for a mouth to lung hit. Watched a video on Fasttech that indicated even the tightest setting may not be tight enough for some.

I got mine today... I like it a lot! My only issue is that the 510 pin isn't adjustable, and it won't make a connection with my Radius. Not a big deal... it's doing great on my SX Mini ML.
Well that sucks. First no P3 connection (yet?), and now this. Why did I order one again? Sorry I'm grumpy today lol.

I think you should wait for their 'solution' for tight MTL. I got mine today and I can confirm that at AFC in the lowest settings, the airflow is equal to KFL+ without AFC screw. But it is 'harsher' vape than KFL because the the air hole below the coil is so wide.

Only thing that has worked for me is to make the Kayfun's 510 screw/pin SUPER TIGHT! It's been over 24 hours, including an overnight were the VS DNA200 was asleep, still holding ohms and has not drifted even 0.01 ohm. Still don't get accurate readings on my CoilMaster 521 Tab, I believe on that ohm reader/coil building station, the female 510 is a bit too low for the SHORT 510 pin on the Kayfun v5.

Oddly my Radius is the only mod that I get a consistent reading on with my 5 but it doesn't sit flush. Out of all my others it either won't register at all or the resistance is all over the place.

Did you try making the 510 as tight as possible? I thought mine was tight, but it was not as tight as it needed to be, and ohms were drifting.

As far as a gap between Atty and mod, you could try using those plastic disk donuts underneath, I think they are called "mod savers". I use them on all my mods, but can't on my VS DNA200, as the Kayfun's 510 is so short.

Thanks, I took your advice, I tighten it so bloody hard that I actually snapped my screwdriver hahahaha, I felt I had nothing to lose, so I torqued the shiz outta the 510 pin and voila... It immediately went back to the original .19 and has stayed there for 9hrs of use.

Thanks again for your post, it was just what I needed.

Geez, you weren't kidding, I did say SUPER TIGHT, not SUPERMAN!

I don't understand why it has to be so tight, but I'm guessing, since this is my first KF, and understanding its history, that the design is not tailored for TC use. In non-TC modes, the connections tolerances are not as strict and probably work just fine. That and having a crazy short 510 pin, makes it even worse. Glad I could help at least one person, pass it on as these posts will get buried in this thread in minutes.

Thanks again, I like to think that the manufacturers learn from their past mistakes, the Squape R was horrible with TC, then the X-Dream releases and works flawlessly with TC and is even advertised as such, I still have the same coil reading the same as the day I built it over a month ago.

With the Kayfun V4 spring TC issue I was certain they wouldn't make the same mistake again, Pbusardo mentioned in his review that it was playing nice in TC so I was shattered when I started having issues.

I'll keep an eye on this thread, I'm happy to help out.

Anyone else experiencing leaking? 3 days in a row now, tried difference wicking, coil heights, juice flow control. Seems to randomly come out of the AFC, so it doesn't seem to be an o-ring issue. Closing the juice control, opening and then closing the top, seems to solve it temporarily. Any tips? Frustrating, I've had the mini v3 since its release and it's been bone dry
