I wouldn't consider the Radius tiny. It's about the size of two Provari 2.5 minis side by side.

Do you mean the battery end cap? It's stainless steel and not delicate at all but it could get dented or scratched if dropped onto something hard.
Yah. The one I bought the battery cap is a bit mashed. Apparently the cap itself fell to the floor not the mod. I was wondering how delicate it was as it looked relatively grinded given it was just the cap that fell.

I used the svoemesto puzzler combo (clone) to make what I think Is a pretty good dripTip for the kabuki. It's three pieces. Seems to give it a funnel type effect. My question about recommendations still stands though.

I would definitely consider the radius tiny!! Have you seen an ipv4? Or any other dual battery mod? Or any box mod? It fits with all the smallest form factor box mods I've seen, it just works better.

Any dual battery mod to me is large. I have Microsticks, Provari minis and an iStick 30W. They are all smaller than the Radius. I don't consider the Radius large but to me it's not tiny.

I get that. But to most, the radius is small. And it delivers so much!!

What's the best drip tip for this tank. Taking opinions.

I'm currently using a kf4 and one of those weird bobbly genie type plastics. They seem to give the best flavor. I feel like all the flavor is lost with the stock tip. It's weird that every tip on hoh is totally opposite to what they included with the tank. I don't get it. :/

So which tip is the best. Hoh or otherwise. The hoh intrigue me by are quite expensive. I'm sure they're total quality. I just don't know if I can afford $30 for a drip tip personally(especially as I want to buy another kabuki and just bought the used provari). can anyone shoot a picture down the center of the hoh ones? How narrow is the bore? Toothpick size?

Thanks for the advice. It seems like airflow open with a restrictive tip brings the best flavor. Plus I really like the design of the HOH tips
cant seem to get a good picture down the bore, but it is approximately 1/8"

All this non love for the subtanks.....admittedly they are collecting dust now since I got my Kabuki's...but I used them for 3-4 months straight and I never had any issue with them...no leaking, no gurgling no nothing...they have been great tanks for me, and I solely used them for MTL (with a tight driptip)...the Kabuki is just better (for my vape style)...and they are shorter! :D

I wouldn't worry too much about the bottom cap on that ProVari H.

It's a pretty solid hunk of metal.

The finish may be marred but it will function just fine.
Yes, I'm more curious about the type of damage. I'll show you the pic which has been taken down. It just looked in photos like a lot of damage for a cap hitting the floor by itself. Probably the picture made it look worse. People tend to pronounce any damage. The. Do was described like new with cap,scratches being the exception. Sure it will be great. Mind just turning. I'll be a provari owner in abou 8 hours according to tracking. I've always loved the way they looked. Never knew anything about them. Like the ti version particularly.

Subtanks! Meh! :)

I'm lucky that I have multiple Kabukis. Some are at-home-only units and some are for out-and-about. For the home units I'm using (and loving) the HoH Althea drip tips at $12. On the out units I'm using the stock Gertrude tips just because it makes for a smaller package. The Althea tips create a tighter draw, so I've adjusted the airflow on the Gertrude tanks to as closely match as much as possible the Althea draw. I also use the Althea tips on the Nautilus P3 tanks.

If you have a multi-meter, could you please read the coil resistance directly?
I don't have a multimeter,today some of those coils are firing ok…maybe temperature change?..i tried all the coils that wouldn't fire in the kabuki yesterday in my nautilus and they all fired.

Plus one. That's awesome. I wasn't aware prior to this of different finish kabuki tanks.

USPS psyched me out with a shown delivery date of day but no prezzy in my mailbox. Son of a!

Also. Vapor shark coils arrived. Popped one on and

IT. IS. AWFUL.

I need to contact sweet vapes. I think something is actually wrong with these. They taste like charcoal and won't really fire they registered all over the place. Also the picture on the sweet vapes site shows larger style wicking holes and these are small like the old nautilus coils. Bummer!

What are they reading? The ones I have run anywhere from .30-.34 ohms. Your mod didn't flip over to power mode did it? My istick 40 tc did that a couple of times, I assume because these are on the high side of what's generally used in ni200 coils.

It read .36. The issue is the absolute taste of charcoal while producing no vapor set to 400 degrees. 400 on an istick tc is probably equal to 360 on a better temp mod.

One issue I have is how small the wicking holes are. If the picture on the vendors site had accurately shown the size of the wicking holes I would have known not to buy them for the kind of juice I vape.

Fwiw I out some thinner juice in and it was still had. The taste was so weird. Like I said. Like charcoal.

The new aspire coils wick my 90% vg juice with absolutely no issue fwiw. The vs coils are being asked to wick 65% vg. It could be ONE coil in the pack is bad. But I need to contact sweet vapes before opening more because at this price $3 a coil. I don't want to open three to find one that works. I'd rather send them back the pack so they can get hen to vs and vs can figure out what's going wrong.


Do the ones you use have tiny wick holes?

This is sweet vapes photo of them.

Notice the proportion of the bottom metal plug part hole and the actual wicking hole.
