I've been using two kylin mini's as my main vape tanks for what seems like forever.
I run them with a six wrap 3.5mm id 26*3 38g wrap Ss316 fused clapton coils made from this wire.

While I'm very happy with both of them i dont like bubble tanks and the capacity being around 3ml is a negative as they're frequent fillers.
I recently discovered that the unbreakable bubble tank from the Tauren One and Tauren Beest fit the Kylin Mini perfectly if you remove the top O ring and they still remain perfectly juice tight.
These bubbles are not as in your face as most so I've bern putting up with them.
The wire above i settled on after many many different combinations of wires and materials so 36g cores X3 and 38g wrap fits perfect for me with a single coil usually reading 0.18ohms.
The wire above has been discontinued and not only can i find any remaining stock anywhere i can't even find a different brand with the same wire type, guage, and wrap configuration so if anyone knows I'd appreciate your help.
I'm currently settling on this instead as it's as close as i can get.

The Kylin Mini can still be found in stock atm and i know mine aren't going to last forever and as I've been stuck in my ways for so long I thought sod it I'll change things up.
I've had my fair share of duel coil rtas and I loved the original Kylin but its a duel coil and all the other single coilers out there just dont really float my boat.
I really should have picked up a V2 when they came out but again it's a duel coiler and I've been a single coiler for so long i side stepped it.
I saw @harumph had one listed ages ago in the classifieds for peanuts (very generous ape btw and thank you) with spare deck and several spare glasses and looked at it a few times before thinking its only a few quid why not see how it is.
He said it leaks and thats why it has a spare deck as he recieved a replacement but the replacement leaked too hence the sale.
Well after unscrewing the slide top doh! and realising id just trashed it from the get go i thought I'd pick up an original and a clone for the spare parts to make good the top bit I'd just trashed.
They came this week and tbh it's defeated me.
I've been tearing my hair out cos i can't consistently build it so it doesnt leak.
I mean worse than V1 leak not just after refilling leaking i mean all the time leak.
Noah would be at home hanging round these things they flood for no apparent reason and there's no stopping it leaking.
@harumph was right they're shit!
Or are they?
Seeing as I'm aiming to replace the Mini which is a single coil part of the reason i wanted to try it was to test it as a single coil tank.
The deck looks right, air from all angles like the mini.
The capacity should be a little better as it's around 10% bigger.
Ah but what about the leaking.
The wick channels are shaped in a way that they naturally want to draw the wick from the centre of the deck.
Any other angle and the wicks touch the deck which is unavoidable and it leaks.
Even if you reduce the coil diameter to 3mm or even 2mm and centralise them as much as possible the angle of the channels and position of the coils still push the wicks against the sides and base of the deck and this is the reason it pisses juce everywhere.
So I've stuffed a seven wrap 36* tricore 36ģ outer wrap 3.5mm id SS fused clapton in there which reads 0.22ohms.
I've wicked it tight in the coil with fluffing but no thinning.
Wow!
You would think using ir as a single coiler was VandyVape's intention all along.
It's a completely different animal and even more flavour than i thought possible.
To top it off it's completely and i mean completely leak free.
Dry as abone no seeping at all.
Very good is a wild understatement and a really modest Interpretation of how good this thing is like this.
To compare the Mini imo is up there at the top of the list of single coil rtas for flavour and clouds with the Manta probably the best duel coil rta for flavour but honestly this V2 set up like this is like a combination of the two.
I'm honestly well and truly gob smacked!
its gone from something that should technically be on its way to land fill by now to something so good i didn't think it was possible.
