And 28awg Kanthal at 1.2ohms, that's going prolong your battery life as well instead of those sub ohms coils that seem to be the current trend nowdays.

Indeed, even been using my little Artery Nugget which only has an internal 1500mah battery - found an ideal partner now. There are definitely many pros for this tank, mighty impressed.

I tried an 8 wrap, 28awg ss316l build yesterday and it still read as 0.8ohms, and it was too much like a DTL draw on it. Think I need some 30 or 32 gauge ss wire.

just dont pack the D shapes with cotton 2turns of the jfc - open but 2 1/2 turns is fine with thick juice, and 1 1/2 is fine with thin juice it wont be "your style" of toot ,, but do try it from the Smallest to the largest air setting,, it does affect the flavour intensity as well as the volume of toot,, and the wicking

Why not just use Kanthal ? 4 or 5 wraps of say 28 gauge is about perfect..

I have been opening until the air bubbles escape. No probs with my cotton wicking though.

Just something I wanted to point out guys .... two days ago I had to replace the deck oring in my prime ...if you look at the photo and zoom in you can see it was split and had a chunk cut out of it I had some spare orings which are the correct size ....but this is what I found on removing the one from the sxk that fat one is the one supplied with the sxk thin one is the correct size .... I changed them over and expected the tank to leak like a 80 year old bladder lol .... any way my point is it hasn't and I have found the juice flow works better it's not stiff anymore . I've had no gurgling or leaking or flooding. Just thought I would mention it in case anyone picked up spare o-rings and thought like me ....thats not going to work

I received my authentic prime the other day, and have been having a play with it.. I have screwed on some of the parts from the SXk version, and they are mostly ok.. As far as i can tell with a quick check, the glass fits ok, drip tips etc, are all fine...But the Authentic feels a lot better when you open and close the juice flow for example, looser but no leaks at all from it.whereas the sxk is a lot tighter to turn. . so any extra parts, like tanks, chimneys etc..you may have ordered for the sxk when you bought it, would more than likely fit, if you needed them in an emergency.
Putting them side by side, and they are just about identical, and I can't actually see much of a difference, and if i didn't know the other one was from SXK, i wouldn't be able to tell from a quick glance at it. I think the SXK is a superb clone, and especially for the cost of it. The main difference i can really notice is that the O'Rings on the proper one are a lot better...
When i got it I had to take it apart to clean it to get rid of bloody awful tobacco small that was on it... Reckon it had been run under a tap, and rinsed and that was it, so when i took it completely apart it had tobacco juice all inside the smaller parts. took 2 goes in the ultrasonic to get rid of the smell from it..When i put it all back together, i made sure to lubricate all the screw threads and o'rings i could see, and now it just feels superb, very smooth threads, and that juice flow opens and closes great.
So, what are the differences between the real one and the clone? Not a hell of a lot to be honest.. O'rings are certainly better... it screws together and comes apart easier, but i think if you put a set of authentic o'rings on the SXK one, you would be hard pressed to tell which was which. The engraving on the chimney is better on the original, clearer and deeper engraving...The sxk one also has some noticeable roughness on the small slots for the juice flow, whereas the original is better done here, smooth as the rest of it. Top cap on the SXk version is slightly thicker also, and seem to be cut a a little more of an angle. But overall, not a hell of a lot. Really good value the SXK version.
So am i glad i managed to get the authentic? Absolutely. Apart from the looks, which are very similar, It just feels better, and works as you would expect from a Kayfun.. Everything is smoother to tighten and loosen off, juice flow is superb on it... and it works and feels as you would expect it to.

Yes mate, it surprised me just how close they were. Deck and deck screws and some small parts are definitely better..but overall if some one gave me an sxk one and told me it was authentic, i would have to have a good look at it to say it was an sxk one...
