I had actually put one of these in my cart for the july4 sale at ft. It said all the week before it was available and 'in stock' until the sale actually came, then it had a 7 day wait. So I pulled it out of the cart. Guess what is back 'in stock' ...sneaky ft....LOL. Guess I will wait for Labor day sales........sigh.... What is that tank you have on it?

:)
That's the Augvape Merlin RDTA. A very nice tank...

I have 2 of the KFL+ shorty tanks in rotation every day, on a Coolfire IV and a COV Mini Volt. I keep 1 filled with Caramel Latte and the other with Peach Cobbler! They were what I learned to build coils on. I have enough parts in my "stash" to make a whole lot more, because FT has been discontinuing them very quickly.
I have assorted spare parts to build several Kompact Kayfuns too.

    I think it's all about that tank (no @Katdarling, don't start!)
    Well, since I'm not Kat...
    Huh, I thought it was all about the cello, no wait, the violin, hmm, maybe it was the guitar. Dang it I can't remember now, but I know it's all about one of them stringed instruments.

    The top is meant to come Off for dripping. The main cap becomes the "walls" of the atomizer allowing you to put up to almost 2ml in there. It's made for using that way. You can of course unscrew the whole cap but the top has much less threading and allows you to drip a lot more in there.

    I figured that you should be able to just drip down through the drip tip.
    The MicroDrip is just a modern version (read more expensive) version of an A7.
    The only reason I pull the drip tip off an A7 is to clean the nasties out of it.

    And, I just managed to successfully wick my Serpent Mini without my glasses

    Wow without glasses eh,I'm impressed! When I coil mine I use one of them headband magnifiers plus a magnifying glass to see if the wire is captured properly.Thank goodness I only have to recoil every couple of months.

    I have been getting random errors for a few days.

    Same here.

    It's been constant the past couple of days, I've been dealing with a really hard work character at work. I do support work & he gets very angry a lot. So worn out

    Hopefully things will ease up soon.

    I have a single bay Xtar and an Efest Luc 4 (4 bay),I like them both but use the later as I can charge more than one batt at a time.

    The LUC 4 is good for charging four 18650s at 1A or two batts at 2A (center bays).

    My Xtar VC4 only has two (outer) bays that charge at 1A. The inner bays max out at .5A. If you fill the inner bays they all drop to .5a. The wallwart is only 2A, so that controls the current handling capability.

    Next charger I buy will do multiple bays at 1A with a decent display that lets you know what's going on, like the VC4. I like more meaningful visual feedback instead of LED arrays.

    Actually, that's an art piece (not production), and I found it to be extraordinary. It's a work by Zen.
    It is just gorgeous. Zen is such an artist. I would love to have that just to look at it.

    You and @DingerCPA must really like that tank. I bought one and spent about a half hour trying to get that dang coil captured…I wasn't successful…I gave it away.

    So, who's found the ultimate replacement for the Kayfun Lite Plus V2? Those are getting hard to find these days. I have about 8 Kayfun 3.1s of various brands, but only two KFLPV2. I like the KFLPV2 best.

    There's still some choices at FastTech, but they are dwindling. I've tried a number of MTL tanks, but most of them are designed as one size fits all with airflow that has to be turned off completely for an MTL vape.

    For me there is no "replacement" for the KFL, it is a unique device that has a flavor and draw that is unique to it.

    Are you looking to see who still has the KFL+V2 in stock or RTAs that are in the same league?

    Devices that I feel are in the same league and are unique in and of themselves (with a tight draw):
    • Gem V1
    • Spheroid V3
    • Erlkonigin nano
    • Squape R(s)
    • BB with Exocet with KF5 MTL kit, air almost closed off
    • SXK Doggy Style
    • Dvarw
    • Hussar w MTL kit and micro chamber
    I've put them in order that I think you would probably prefer but that is a SWAG for sure.
