glad youre sharing good finds, once, twice, half dozen times...but 28 mentions seems excessive and makes me wonder if youre affiliated with the vendor and are an unregistered supplier.

NO! NEVER STUFF! Gently tuck just enough to touch the bottom.

You know what Magicmyst? You're a life saver! I put the same amount of cotton in the coil but this time, I lengthened the tail and tuck them in a curve. And it worked!
Seems like there was not enough wick to soak up the liquid to feed to the coils and there I was thinking I overstuffed the coil causing it to be choked. This is very counterintuitive coming from a kayfun lite plus.
Thanks again!

Glad you're making progress! In my experience, wicking these K5 (and the KMV3) can be tricky. Too much wick in the well and you get a bottleneck and less flavor, too little and you get leaking and...well, you know...You know what Magicmyst? You're a life saver!

Forgive me for my bad english.

All that you need is the kf5 tower tank and then choose your drip tip/adapter. I went with the k32 option, there are 2 or 3 others to choose from as well.
I shared multiple times about this vendor because so many in various threads were complaining about lack of availability when in fact, they were available at this vendor. Not affiliated and not a supplier, so don't get your knickers in a bunch.
Does anyone know of any USA vendor with the MTL kit available?
Would love to grab a set.

Eric at Origin Vapes says they'll have them next week, too.
dang wish they had them in , i just ordered a K5 from them
Newbie post: Just did my second (ever) build this morning, and the K5 is hitting much better now. My first build was 24g Kanthal w/ 9 wraps @ 3mm (.9Ω), which worked decent but took forever to ramp up to temp. This new build is still 24g Kanthal, but w/ 5 warps @ 2.5mm (.41Ω), and the ramp up time (at the lower wattage I use) is much better. It still takes about 1.5 seconds to ramp up, but for me that works, and it keeps the temp of the vapor a bit cooler (at the lower wattage).
The other thing I did was to remove the outer layers of the organic cotton pad before wicking the coil (saw it done on YouTube), and the flavor appears to be a bit more pure. The nic delivery on the K5 is much stronger that it is on my Nautilus coils, which I'm sure is probably true of all RTAs (but this is my first), so I'm going to either have to reduce the nic in the mix or hit it much less often. With the air flow wide open, I'm able to get slightly restricted DL hits with great flavor and vapor production.
I've got some 28g & 30g Kanthal and Nichrome coming in the mail this week to try some other builds (like a twisted coil), and so far I'm really liking the rebuild-able lifestyle. Yesterday, my 521 tab and magnifying lamp arrived, so I don't have to strain my eyes doing builds, which is always a plus. I'll probably pick up a KFM v3 at some point in the near future, and maybe a KFL+, since their product quality is so outstanding.
How far down the rabbit hole will I go? (we'll just have to wait and see)

Try a 28 at 2.5 for 7 wraps... I like it!!!Newbie post: Just did my second (ever) build this morning, and the K5 is hitting much better now.

Yep, that's on my radar for a simple build. [emoji106] I also installed a vape tool app on my phone to help me calculate my builds. I'm liking it!
Been vaping for 5 years but still forgot the fundamentals of building a microcoil. Squeezing them together. Stroking them alone is not enough.You know what Magicmyst? You're a life saver! I put the same amount of cotton in the coil but this time, I lengthened the tail and tuck them in a curve. And it worked!

Figured this when I realized it's always 1 side that is hotter than the other. Even though stroking the coils make them seem to glow evenly, I think squeezing them together makes sure that it's even heating when juice is added.

Yep. I used to torch them, but read that it's not a good idea, so now I just pulse fire and squeeze. (
That sound naughty, doesn't it?)- Status
