Reviewer comments on business characteristics

After more than a year of waiting since the release of the Kayfun V4 , SvoëMesto offers the Kayfun V3 mini.

At first glance, the look is the same and in the belly of the beast there are also some similarities. But beware, these are just visual aspects. In fact, if the V4 was intended for a population of confirmed vapers, the Mini V3 is for ALL vapers including beginners, it goes without saying.

A limited number of parts, a thinner diameter and above all a very simple plate where you will not ask yourself how to position your drill bit, it's just obvious. In addition, after the multiple tank screwing and unscrewing problems encountered on the V4, for the mini V3 this defect has also been resolved.

This atomizer is a beauty that SvoëMestro has taken care of in every detail. The line is clean, fine and remains totally in the spirit of Kayfun with a series that never ceases to amaze me.

The airflow is adjusted, the liquid flow adapts to the mounting and the pin is adjustable. For filling, like his big brother, it is from the top. However, SvoëMestro does not allow us to do sub-ohm since the board is intended for simple assembly with limited resistance to 1Ω. But do not worry, because the steam does not scare him, he knows how to give the guy!

Let's continue our test, I can not wait to let you discover it.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

So here is the Kayfun mini V3 reduced to six parts instead of the forty-one on the previous version. As usual, SvoëMesto has chosen a beautifully crafted stainless steel, with a substantial thickness of material. Thus the deformation of the atomizer is not possible unless you roll over it, which would be a shame.

The tank is made of borosilicate glass, particularly resistant to high temperatures and again, it is found that the thickness of the glass makes the tank strong enough not to be broken at the first shock or the first wash.

But here I am happy, it is on the joints because a film of silicone coats these joints in order to facilitate the screwing and the unscrewing of parts between them.

The threads are perfect, nothing sticks, the finishes are remarkable and no fingerprints are visible.

There are four engravings on this atomizer. Three represent the logos of SvoëMesto, in different sizes. The first is located on the drip-tip, the second on the bell and the third under the atomizer above the 510 connection. The fourth engraving takes place under the atomizer opposite the third and represents the number of product series. It is also the only one that is so deeply engraved, they are all remarkably made and are crisp, without any burrs.

The raised deck is just as impressive as that of the Kayfun V4. The construction base, operation and quality are similar but there are some notable differences since it is not removable and it accommodates a simple coil easy to make. Around the poles, there is also an open ring which constitutes a tank, with four holes through which the liquid rises, via channels, under the plate at each suction. A feature which simplifies the assembly and the position of the wick and which makes it possible to adjust, by screwing and unscrewing the reservoir, the flow rate of the liquid inlet.

A quality product that deserves its price.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The functional characteristics are relatively simple since the plate allows only one resistance and this one is limited to 1Ω. And yes ! This atomizer is not made for the sub-ohm but for all that, believe me, it provides a hell of a vapor.

It is important to respect this value otherwise the airflow will appear insufficient to you like the flow of the liquid which is not intended for a consumption as imposed by the sub-ohm.

The airflow is adjustable and the flow of liquid on the wick. The pin can be adjusted using a mini flat screwdriver and the filling is relatively simple, from the top, by unscrewing the top cap which is in two parts.

For such a product I found it a shame to have a manual only in English. So, for the comfort of future buyers, I wanted to translate the manual which also gives you all the functions of the Kayfun V3 Mini:

"INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Before use
Mini V3 SvoëMesto is a rebuildable tank atomizer specially designed for use on electronic cigarettes with e-liquid. Before use, you must install a battery made for the use of electronic cigarettes.

CAUTION:
Do not use oils or oil-based fluids with the atomizer.
This manual is intended as a brief overview of the general functionality of the SvoëMesto Mini V3. If you have no experience using a rebuildable atomizer or carrying out resistance, please consult your local supplier.
More information on www.svoemesto.de.

2. Application
The recommended use for the SvoëMesto Mini V3 concerns resistors with a minimum resistive value of 1Ω and a power from 7W up to 30W. You are responsible for the use of your atomizer and the resistances you mount. 

3. Instructions for use

3.1 Access to the platform

kayfunV3_dessin1

Step 1
Turn the atomizer upside down, when the tank is full
Step 2
Unscrew the base in the opposite direction of the clockwise
Step 3
Remove the base to access the tray

3.2 Installation of a resistance and the bit
The resistor is placed diagonally between the mounting screws and approximately 1.5mm / 2mm above the air outlet, so that air can easily flow around the resistor. The ends of the wires are placed under the mounting screws and then tightened underneath.
The excess ends of the wick should be placed in the empty spaces below the terminals, so that they rest above the Liquid channels. Before assembling the atomizer, it is recommended to saturate the wick with e-liquid.

KODAK Digital Still Camera

CAUTION:
For your own safety, note the following:
- The resistor must be connected at the ends, one to the positive terminal and the other end to the negative terminal.
- The upper ends of the wire must be cut flush with the terminals and must not remain on the construction deck. Otherwise, it may cause a short circuit.
- The resistance must not touch the bridge itself.

3.3 Filling and operation of the liquid flow control.
The Mini V3 has a stepless liquid flow adjustment, the flow can be regulated according to the needs of your resistance. But for filling, it must be stopped completely before filling the tank:

KODAK Digital Still Camera

a- To completely shut off the liquid inlet, take the base and turn the tank in a clockwise movement until it reaches the stop stop.
b- To fill the tank, the SvoëMesto Mini V3 must be fully assembled with the resistance and the wick. Open the top fill port, fill the tank from the sides until the fluid level reaches the top end of the pyrex tank. Then close the fill port.
c- To open the liquid control completely, take the base and turn the bowl in an anti-clockwise motion by two full turns.
d- To refine your liquid flow, you can adjust its flow between these two possibilities: fully open or fully closed.

3.4 airflow adjustment
Adjust the airflow to your liking by readjusting the screw in the 510 connector. Inserting a flathead screwdriver and unscrewing to remove the screw or screwing in to decrease the airflow.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 3.5 / 5 3.5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

It is a habit for high-end and luxury products to often have a rather disappointing packaging. This is also the case here because you receive your atomizer with the drip-tip in a small flexible cardboard box, with the instructions and spare gaskets, as well as two additional screws for the poles and an additional screw that corresponds to the one for the airflow adjustment.

The box is sealed with two SvoëMesto logo discs on either side, proving the authenticity of the Kayfun V3 Mini. It is complete. It is ugly and disappointing in terms of presentation.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

For the assembly, it is not simpler since one can make only a coil of resistive value greater than or equal to 1Ω. The place is therefore ample. But the novelty on this Kayfun V3 mini is the tray, with an open tank in which the installation of the wick is intuitive, so it is not possible to have a dry-hit or flood, it works every time since the wick is well positioned. Then, just think of soaking before putting the bell.

Assembly of the parts is easy with a two-part top-cap for filling the tank. Be careful before filling the tank, it is imperative to close the flow of liquid by screwing the tank fully against the base. Once the tank is full, just close the cap and open the flow of liquid by unscrewing the tank two full turns maximum (otherwise the tank will open). Unlike the Kayfun 4, I can tell you that there is no play between the parts when we open the flow to the maximum and I had no blockage between the different parts. Remember to adjust the flow between minimum and maximum, depending on the value of your resistance and the power at which you are vaping.

To adjust the airflow, simply remove the screw in the 510 connection, remove the square piece that is engraved and insert a small flat screwdriver into the thread. For a wide open airflow: unscrew and remove the screw, you can screw and vacuum at the same time to find the right opening.

For my test, I did not spare the new kid and I went below the recommended limits. With a resistance of 0.8Ω and a thick liquid, I pushed my power to 30W and indeed I had to go down a little under pain of dry-hit. Gradually, with this resistive value (for a Kanthal of 0.3mm), the ideal is 25W with a fully open airflow and maximum flow. A pure wonder.

It is a totally silent atomizer, which gives a beautiful vapor, but the most surprising is the excellent restitution of flavors with a vapor in the mouth that is very dense, round and soft. A velvet print.

The best I got was with a 1.2Ω resistor on 22W power. There, the Kayfun V3 mini really delivers and flaunts excellence at all levels. Both the settings and the adjustment are done intuitively, like the bit position.

Regarding the operation of the tray, it is raised and impressive with an open ring around the studs, forming a tank. On the base there are four holes on which the bit will be placed. These holes are fed through open channels under the platen and directly fed through your liquid flow adjustment. Thus, with each suction, the juice rises through the channels and feeds the tank through the holes. With the tank open, the excess liquid goes back under the tray to be reintroduced at the next suction, a clever system that avoids gurgling, dry hits and leaks.

A nice product performing by its qualities of manufacture, design and rendering of flavor / steam.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

This Kayfun V3 mini is made for a daily vape. Therefore, it is totally unsuitable for vaping in sub-ohm. On the other hand, on an assembly around 1.2Ω with a power of about 20W, it is a magnificent steam machine which will amaze you in terms of taste because the flavors are excellent, round and soft on the palate.

Moreover its simplicity of assembly corresponds perfectly to the beginners in the reconstructible wishing to acquire a product of quality.

All the parts are well assembled, nothing moves and moreover, it is silent. The only small warning I could give concerns the airflow which is necessarily suitable for an everyday vape, on resistive values ​​above 1Ω, so not very very airy, but still enough for direct inhalation. Also, I specify that the diameter of this atomizer is 19mm, so beware of 22mm mecas mod lovers. The tank is only 2ml, so the autonomy is not huge but it will be necessary to be satisfied.
