I would call first. I did see a post on the ZFO FB page that said they restocked but for a 4 hour trip it might be best to make sure they have what you want
Anybody Using A Kabuki?

The shop is open M-F but this upcoming week I'm there M-W... Heading to Richmond for VaperCon... shop will be open though.
Zens Private Stash eLiquid and ZFO reserve is in it's final bottling, so if you want some for the future, stock up. I'm getting away from the liquid game.
Just ordered a pack of VaporWerxUSA coils. I couldnt let you guys/girls have all the fun of trying something new. I see they put a little bling on them with the colored orings.....lol
I looked at those new coils, but their site doesn't say made in USA, so they are just outsourced to a factory in China. Given Aspire has been making coils longer and many, many more, I'd think even with their defect rate, it is probably less than a new company outsourcing coils to another manufacturer...
What do they mean by "America's Best Made Coils", steve?
"If you want America’s Best Made Coils from an American owned and operated company, in the most advanced technologies, you’ve come to the right place."
Awwww shucks....
My purchasing guy spoke with them, they are indeed made in China with USA sourced Kanthal... and I an familiar with the factory in which they are made, which is actually known to do better metal work than eigate, the company that manufactures the Nautilus coils, so I'm hopeful that these will be a superior product with regard to dimensional stability, which is a big concern of mine. These guys also have a DOA guarantee, that as a manufacturer, I could really benefit from because with the nautilus coils I eat the bad ones... this is rare, by the way, but every penny counts when manufacturing a product that everybody already thinks is too expensive that has the lowest margin of anything I have ever offered to the public.
seems shady they would want some to believe they are made in USA, but they aren't...
The Z2 Carto Tank was originally $109.00 and we knew we had to be lower than that with all the chinese tanks in the market... the only way to get lower was to manufacture in larger quantities... pretty scary to pull the trigger on 10,000 tanks not knowing if they will sell... (do that math for a fun experience... $890,000 @ retail) but we did it, and they are selling. If they had not done well, it would have put me out of business... HoH was "all-in" with the Kabuki.
I'm a little put off by that... but if the coil is good, we can work on their manners next.
It's hard to compete being a 100% American Company against the Chinese imports. They are the masters at cutting corners and some of the junk makers don't give a squit of p%ss about safety or quality. Just in it for the quick $$$.
I'm planning to go to Vapercon. Can I bring a 2.5 to you for the flat-top conversion? If so, how do I find you? Will you have a booth?
Ugh. Just popped my glass. I made it a week though, so that's something I guess. I ended up ordering an SS tank direct from HOH along with (of course) a mini ionizer for my Raygun. I like this tank a lot for its ease of use, but I noticed that 4 of the 5pack of coils I got did not smoothly thread into the top section. They had to be "wrenched" into place. Kinda crappy. I believe it to be coil inconsistencies mainly because the original coil and the first replacement were smooth as silk. Anyhoo, I placed an order for the super wonderful coils that are and are not American made, so we'll see how that goes.

I have had my share of bad chimney threads but after a couple fill ups they seem to smooth up a bit. It would be cool if Zen made us a tool to chase threads with.....
