Kayfun 5 vs Skyline Chit Chat

[Clouds4Days]

Need help please peeps....

I am so torn between the skyline and a Kayfun V5 .
Is there any one that can convince me which one would be my best bet.
I vape restricted lung hit and direct lung hit.
Any help is apreciated.

I think the skyline might be better in the sense that they offer all the options you like just for 1 rta. Depending on your moods you can change skydisk for either RL or DL

But to my understanding Kayfun is some where between RL and DL also and now also has a MTL conversion.

I wanna see if its worth paying 1k more for the skyline and what im getting for 1k more (machining quality i already know but Kayfun is also top notch quality)

Although i had a kayfun, i will not give you a review based on a clone. But the skyline for me has just been awsome.

I hear you @Clouds4Days
I think it wont be easy to answer the question because in my view the KF5 and the Skyline are both going to be very good.

The build deck on the K5 is easier, but the style of wicking on the skyline suggests it will have better flavour, it wont be R1000 better.
Seems like you're trying to decide between a Ferrari and Lambo, you're going to be looking at the tank a lot, so I suggest the Skyline.

Hi guys!

Sorry for not being around but work has had me hammered down. So I see there are a lot of comparisons between the KF5 and the ESG-SL-SD. Let me put this to rest. The KF5 was dethroned by the Rose v3 and that competed with the Hurricane v1.3. Besides the HC1.3 the Rose v3 and the KF5 are considered commercial - this does not mean they are bad, they are in fact pretty decent atomizers. To compare the KF5 to a Skyline would be to compare a TATA to a McLaren. There is a R1000 difference in vape and you can tell it immediately. The quality of the vape and the amount you can control the vape with the new SkyDisks is incredible. You honestly can't even put the two in the same category. I would give the KF5 a 5/10 next to the Skyline in flavor.

My only problem now is too get a mod worthy of the Skyline.

@RayDeny hear u... for now I'm going lambo engine in a polo...

Im sorry peeps but i have to disagree on this statmemt.
Yeah sure maybe the skyline "might" be better , i highly doubt its like comparing a "tata to a skyline" this is the biggest load of bull shyt ive ever heard since researching the skyline and kayfun.

The only downfall of the kayfun v5 was that it strayed away from its heritage in moving away from mtl .
Ive watched reviews of the skyline where they say it is as good as the kayfun v5.

I know everyone is excited about the "NEW" skyline but please lets be realistic and stop over hyping by making false statmemts.

Vape on....

I fully agree @Clouds4Days. I decided to bite the bullet & purchased an authentic KF5 from @Throat Punch which I received early yesterday( Thanks @Throat Punch - awesome service). I've been using it exclusively since then and am actually very surprised by the flavour & performance of kf5. Comparing it to the Skyline in flavour - Skyline-10, KF5-9. Build quality - Skyline-10. KF5- 8. R1000 flavour deference - not in a million years. But this is all subjective though, "different strokes for different folks" as the saying goes. The Kayfun V5 is most definitely an option vs the Skyline - I love both.

Can you please post a pic for size comparison between the 2?

This is not what I wanted to hear.I have 2 Kayfun V5 and really love it.If the skyline is not that much better then I don't know.

 

[SAVapeGear]

And with my Kayfun 5 with the custom steel sleeve accessory I get almost 6ml juice capacity.

@SAVapeGear you guys mustn't misinterpret my views. As you can see by the photo below, the Skyline is a more compact RTA. I am by no means saying that the Skyline is not worth R 1200 more, in my opinion it is with regards to quality, size and in a small way , flavour. I have a 2nd Skyline coming with the Group Buy and am quite happy about it. All I was saying is, for those who can't justify R 3000 for an RTA, but can justify R 1750, the KF5 is an excellent alternative to the Skyline if you can live with the size - to me it has earned it's place in my arsenal of quality RTA's.

I guess when you have your skyline in hand, then you can make a choice for your supreme RTA.

For me, the skyline is my first Authentic RTA which has been flawless hence why I will stand by it. Will I get a KF5- NO, not because it is bad or cheaper or build quality is slightly lower, its because Skyline just works 100% for ME.

Flavour 10/10
Build quality 10/10
Juice Capacity 9/10 (1ml more would have been great but not much of a loss here)
No Leakage 10/10
Looks of it 10/10
Deck Options Now 10/10 (Really 10 Options for 1 RTA - WOW)

So when I see numbers like that then yes (I have said this before ) To me Its the RTA that I have been searching for through out my vaping life. NB. I am a menthol only user.

I can believe you @Ash and im glad its working for you, i can believe the skyline is slightly better than the K v5.

My only gripe is saying its like comparing a "tata to a McLaren" and flavour is "5/10 compared to skyline"
Thats complete nonsense.

I guess each tank in unique in its own way. End result is what counts for the individual. I for 1 cannot compare it to a Kf5 as I have not owned a authentic version to make a personal comparison but based own a clone version, flavour wise it was good for sure. Maybe Tata was a bad choice, Audi or Mercedes would have been more realistic.

Great feedback, thank you @Deckie. Appreciate the support.

My opinion is completely objective, to automatically say my statement is "false" is unjust and untoward. Let me put things into perspective, the KF5 is a pure MTL atomizer and is does a good job HOWEVER what build comparison are you doing? Are you doing a simple build like for like it each tank? If so then that is the same comparison as saying let me take a Nissan GTR and put it up against a Porsche Turbo S. Do they get to 120km/h at around the same time, sure, but what happens after that? The same principle applies to the KF5 vs the Skyline, the build deck allows you to bring more complex builds into the picture and allows you to actually push the tank to grounds the KF5 cannot keep up with. Let us also take into consideration that as soon as you start putting more flavorful builds into the KF5 you will start overheating the tank. In addition to this you also have the restriction of the the juice flow that does not allow you to put thicker juices in (the Skyline OG had the same problem). My comparison is between the new Skyline with Skydeck vs the KF5, please read before you comment - you have an original Skyline, I have both original and Skydeck. I am not overhyping anything, the industry has decided that it is the best tank on the market and it has proven itself time and time again. I personally am a dripper at heart and the only two tanks I now own after purging my many others are the Sherman and the Skyline + Skydeck.

Lets look at a few things, the SkyDeck now has bigger juice flow, I can adjust my airflow onto my coil and adjust the restriction of air, these factors allow me to push the tank to new levels, I also have Ultem for allowing for better heat dissipation, all these factors contribute to my statement yet you lack to foresight that I would not be biased towards the Skyline but am only pointing out facts. You are entitled to your opinion as much as I am, however you to compare build quality to be close and flavor to be close with all due respect, do you even vape?

Maybe the TATA bit was a bit too far, I will compare the KF5 to a Toyota, reliable and gets the job done.

So, let me see if I got this ..... if you prefer an Audi R8 over a Lamborghini ... you obviously don't have a drivers license. Makes absolute sense to me now. I knew I should've finished school instead of dropping out in Gr5.
Geez and here I was convinced that the KF5 standard was restricted lung hit & you didn't have to get the MTL adapters.

As mentioned it's completely objective, I met @Takie a couple weeks back at Vape Cartel and we had a chat in which I mentioned to him that I sold my Hadaly as I just couldn't get it to work for me while he and a lot of other members swesr by it, a decision I'll regret? Probably not, on my Reo the OL16 is king, the small chamber with a simple build and quick ramp up is better for me, whereas I'm certain the Hadaly on a regulated squonker would be a winner, I'd be able to use big fancy coils and have minimal ramp up just by upping the wattage. Point is each and every person will have their own view on a product, what works for 1 may not be ideal for someone else. I'm certain that when I receive my Skyline it'll be the best rta I'd own, will it be better than say an OBS engine nano? I'd think so even without trying it, will it be better by 6 times to justify the price? I'll have to find out but based on reviews and recommendations from people who have owned them it has piqued my interest, I will purchase it and be hopeful that it'll be all that I imagine it to be and more as no one would throw away R3000+ and encourage anyone else to do the same if it's less than fantastic. That's the beauty of this forum, if a product is good, bad, mediocre for it's price, someone with hands on experience will let us know. Just my 2c worth. Happy vaping
