Thinking about first RTA

[adammg]

I'm thinking about upgrading, I am currently using Vision 2 spinners with mini PT3's. Found a sweet spot I enjoy 1.5ohm at 9.5 to 10 watts (3.7-3.8v). I mainly a mouth to lung hit so not sure what if any rta would be good for me to start with and be similar to the 1.5 coils I've been running. I'll also be upgrading to either istick or mvp20w. Can I use 12mg in a RTA without nic'ing myself. 18mg even in a clearo makes me nic sick. (Switched from chain smoker to chain vaper lol)

thanks

If you aren't going for lung inhales the tried and true Kayfun is very hard to argue with.

Kayfun lite+ is my favorite. Easy to fill and you can adjust the airflow.

You MAY want to adjust your nic. When I first switched to kayfuns I had to drop from 18 to 12

I put 12mg in a kayfun (and had just moved down to 12) and immediately switched to 6mg, lol! I agree a kayfun is a good choice. Either authentic or EHPro clone.

 

[CloudKick]

Agreed with the above. Buy a KF lite v2 clone or see if someone at a vape store has one you can try. You shouldn't need 12mg but I've seen people use it +

Another vote here for a Kayfun Lite (or Russian 91%), sounds like it would suit you fine. An Expromizer is also a good choice for a similar style tank, and my favorite of the 3.

And 12mg should be fine at the power level you're talking about, it's when you move to lower resistance/higher wattage that you really need to step it down.

Mouth to lung tank? Kayfun. No question. It is the benchmark for a reason. I have an Ehpro Kayfun 3.1 and would only give it up if someone wanted to trade me for a Kayfun 4.

I lung hit my kayfuns lite +'s all of the time 1.6-1.7 ohm wicked w/ c cotton(rayon). Haven't let me down yet

Like almost everyone else has mentioned so far, I had to drop my nic a level when I started using my first Kayfun. Went from 12mg to 6mg, and my clearos collected dust from my first fill on the Kayfun until I gave them all away. The EHPro clone is the way to go. You'll love it.

I'll chime in as well. The KFL+ is a great RTA. I used to build mine to 2.0ohms using 32gauge Kanthal then vape it at 12w/4.2v. Great flavor and vapor.

I'd recommend the Lemo.

Hard going back to other tanks with the Lemo's airflow.

Then again, it's hard going back to the Lemo after using the Mutation X V2.

The Lemo is a great atty also, under 50$ and the taste is awesome. You can do lung inhales OR mouth to lungs. It has a glass tank so you can throw any juice in there, a good deck for rebuilding, pretty nice device.

If you're well adapted to breathing through a bent cocktail straw, the Kayfun Lite is GREAT for lung hits!

 

[adammg]

Thanks for all the great advice. Ordered a Ehpro KFL. Now I have to decide on a Mod and pick up a cheap RDA.

A kayfun on an Istick does work very well as long as you don't mind the overhang.

 

[Btsmokincat]

Here are three kayfuns on an Istick, MVP2 and a GP Paps clone. The last one is a Lemo on an Astro clone. The Lemo is better in my opinion but a kayfun is a great first tank.

If you can wait a couple of days, the iPV Mini is going to be available this week. About the same size as the Istick but 30 watts, you can use your own 18650,has a floating 510 and it fires down to 0.5 ohms. It uses the SX-130 chip (from YIHI) so it has the memory thing (you can set up 5 different vape wattage). 52$, not bad, in my cart it goes....

Some pics and a review of it.

Its a great RTA for the price, but like most here I've gotta stick with recommending the Kayfun. Mostly because of the OP's stated preference of vape style.

If the OP goes clone, personally I'd advise against ordering from Fasttech and ordering a 'name brand' clone. I got a pair of 1:1 clones from fasttech for parts, but the decks needed the channels drilled out.

The Kayfun V4 has already been cloned, so that would of been a good option.

Thanks MadSpec, I'm holding off for a week or two. Still haven't decided what to get, istick chip and 510 worries me. Had a Mvp v1 was reliable but didn't care for the button placement. I've seen the ipv's before but dont know anything about them (reliability, accuracy ect). I do like the price though. I will look into it.

IPV mods are known to be some of the best VV / VW devices you can buy.
