I have a V3 Mini clone (I think it's also a SXK) for some time and the airflow screw is really the biggest weakness. Can't entirely close. After reading the thread, yesterday I tried to really force the screw in with a bunch of tools, but absolutely no dice. (Even with a lot of force). Even screwed all the way in, it covers the hole only 30% or so. I like my draw extremely tight, and V3 out of the box is a total no go to me. What I did now: Stuffed aluminum foil into two of the holes of the center pin so there is only one hole. Screwed the screw in as tight as I possibly could. Inserted a steel tube from a valve I had which perfectly fit, inside the center post. Covered 2 of the outside holes of the V3 with tape And put tape over the remaining hole so it's only 25% open or so. (The same thing I did with my KF Lite V2) Don't laugh, it's still a bit too airy for me but it's ok now.

My opinion: AFTER Kayfun Lite V2 Plus (which is still my favourite for MTL), Svoemestro's claim how V3 and V5 are "great for MTL" is absolute BS. V5 is a total joke for MTL, even with the reducer kit which I have. V3 also (as mentioned above), plus the insanity with that part turning and possibly shortening out the mod when you screw it together.
In Svoemestro's defense, the Vandyvape Berserker was also praised as the greatest MTL mod, I got it and it's the most awful leaking POS I ever got.
I still haven't had anything better than my few old Kayfun Lite V2 clones.

The USB mini charge ports WILL break, either sooner or later. Trust me, there is no way around this. (I also repaired/resoldered my Evic VTWO ports a few times, but it's pointless since they will again break at some point). What I did, I simply gave up on the ports and got me a bunch more 18650 batteries and a Nitecore i2 charger. I don't miss the ports at all. In addition, with the ports going flakey in time, there is always a risk to shorten either your PC's/notebook's USB ports (and damage them in a worst care scenario), or shorten your mod. I consider pass-thru vaping therefore not really safe. By the way, my two EVIC VTWO Minis, besides the USB port not working anymore on one is otherwise still doing their job, and they are very old!! Still the best mod, IMO.
Edit: It is also much safer and you will get longer battery life if you use a good charger, rather than USB charging.
