No worries here... I'll probably spend month looking at it and it will start collecting dust, or if lucky, I will trade it for another amusement... lol

So my Pre-ordered SXK Kayfun Prime clone arrived last night and after a bit of use - actually I pretty much spent the entire night with it in my hand - I feel I can give a decent enough review.

I wont go into great detail of the construction as I'm sure anyone interested in this will have already looked at reviews for the genuine article.

Since this is an SXK product the likelihood that it was going to be decent quality was pretty high - and it doesn't dissapoint.
While I'm not happy with the packaging, It's a standard thin card outer box with two smaller inner boxes which is no problem in itself but it tries very very hard to look like a genuine Svoe Mesto package, even down to seals with the new SM design on them.
Once opened however the Atomiser itself is totally logo free, not even any laser engraving on the base. Threads are very smooth and crisp and the machining seems very precise, the deck screws fit well and hold the wire securely first time - in fact it took me just a couple of minutes to coil the atty to my liking. theres the usual spares package - including a tiny blue screwdriver, screws and O-rings plus the metal tank section - again plain with no engravings.
I stripped the atty down and everything seems to be of acceptable quality, no burrs no visible dirt to speak of and no machine oil smell.
I popped in an 8 wrap 2.5mm ID, 0.35mm SS316 coil, wicked it with Muji and then filled it with Bunkr Fruit creme.
With the coil registering 0.64 ohms I decided to try first with a fixed wattage vape - as thats what most people will use and at 15.5 watts the Prime is giving an excellent result. Flavour is very good and whilst I can get a restricted lung hit on the widest setting (all 6 dots) it can also be narrowed down to a draw that really reminds me of the old Kayfun 3.1 or Lite. Those folks who hated the newer Kayfuns or the Heron V2 are finally going to have a modern MTL atomiser that feels like the old school MTL attys and with good flavour to boot.

All in all I think SXK have hit it out of the park with this one, and whilst it's not an original it certainly is a quality device that any MTL vaper would be glad to own - especially if you're on a limited budget (The clone cost $24, the original is £98.95).
If you want a Prime and can afford an original go buy one as soon as they come back into stock, if you can't afford the original then you really should lash out on the SXK version - you won't be disappointed...

Yes,I just ordered a gold Prime from Naturevapes,in total with signed next day delivery it cost just under £30,it was extra couple of quid because I ordered it in gold.
It took me ages to find a website that sold them in this country but I knew I had seen it somewhere back last year when I was thinking of getting one,I am happy that I eventually pulled the trigger on buying this at last because I've dawdled long enough pondering over it lol.

The flavour is full on, easy to coil and wick, doesn't leak. It's one of my favourite Rta's at the moment next to my Rose v3. [emoji1]
The guy that runs naturevape is a sound bloke. Had a couple of things from him myself.
Cheers Jon

That's great news to me,thanks I am new to building my own coils,I only did my first one the other night on my Wasp Nano RDA and I actually didn't do a half bad job of it (credit mostly to the CoilMaster jig) it was just a simple 24 kanthal round wire wrap and came out around 0.94 (not sure if I put that right)so although I chose the Prime mostly for the ease of building it's always reassuring to hear from others.
What would you consider a good flavour build for it please? That's the most important thing to me.

I am getting good results from this for MTL vaping

Ni80 heats up faster than kanthal and is easy to work with.
5 wraps coil diameter 3mm will give you around 0.78 ohms which is a nice vape at around 14 watts. [emoji6]

I like my Prime. But I really wish it would go tighter.

People keep comparing it to the KFL, but even on it's smallest airflow hole it's about as airy as the KFL with the screw backed all the way out. Anyone who likes a tighter MTL vape gets left in the cold.

tl;dr - great little tank, just a little bit too Kayfun 5 for it to be my forever tank
