Well, here I am! I know what you've all been thinking: "what took you so long?" LOL Heck it's taken me days to read through this thread.
You know where I've been: still vaping on my trusty Provari mini, tired of all the work it takes to build coils (though I do love the flavor out of them), tired of dealing with mechs (though I'll never completely give them up.)

I'll be pulling the trigger tomorrow on a Radius and Kabuki. (And how can I possible decide between black and blue, haha.) A few questions.
The Provape website says they're out of stock on the replacement glass. The link to the Square D confuses me. Zen said that wasn't the right address for their black friday sale. Any pointers?
The poly replacement tank: it sounded from posts that the orings coming with the Kabuki won't fit. Right?
I have several SS tanks on mechs, but using silica so I can vape the tank dry without issues. But, with the Aspire coils, isn't there danger of burning the cotton? How do you folks handle this.

Oh, and the other thing is about juices.
I've seen several posts speaking highly of the NiteLite vapor juices, which I thought I'd try out.
Are there any threads focused on them? Couldn't find one.

Hi newyork, and welcome! There were several threads on ECF for NiteLiteVapor (NLV), but unfortunately ECF closed most of them. There is still the review thread that is open and active.

NLV NiteLite Vapor Reviews

The older (and now closed) threads also have some great information in them. I'll do a bit of digging around and find them for you if you like. I happen to be a huge fan of their vliquids. :)

I suppose I'm the wrong one to even attempt an answer to this question, as I don't, rather CAN'T use them. I've always been frustrated by tanks with no visibility. I'm sure I'd be checking them like ever 10 minutes!

Hi darling,
Thanks for the welcome and in fact it was a post you did on this thread which made me look into NLV. I did read through the link you mentioned and it was useful in helping me decide which flavors to try.
I did a search on ECF but couldn't find any closed threads, but I've never been completely successful with the search function on ECF. If you have the threads bookmarked please do let me know where they are. But, don't go crazy looking for them. I'll be ordering some anyway and see how I like them.

I understand.
With a silica coil on a mech, if I'm not getting vapor it's either the battery running low, or the juice running out. But, as I mentioned, since it's silica there's no harm done. Cotton is more problematic I would guess.

Don't even get me started on ECF's search (non) function! :grr:

Good! I hope you enjoy them as so many of us do! I'd love to know what you end up ordering, and how you like them. :)

Have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hiya, NSM! Happy T-Day to you, too!

Our posts crossed. Thanks, I'll start reading the astonished one.

Yes, it's a bit shorter than the "Looking for" thread. ;) I have a fondness for the longer one tho...
(it's mine) :D

What I've got in the PV wishlist (haven't moved them into the cart yet, hoping for a black friday sale, though I'm being greedy as these juices are very reasonably priced) are: tappulles, NLV4YA, Bounty Hunter, Apricot Brandy, Gold, Caramel Reef, Harbor Nite, Capparillo. What dya think?

I think that's a fantastic "start"! :lol:

You picked several of my faves - Tappulles, NLV4ya, BH, and GOLD (mmmmmm). I'd add in the SinnRollz to your list, too. It's scrumptious, and NOT heavily cinnamon-y.
I saw several positive comments on the Sinn, maybe all yours LOL, but held back because some cinnamony juices were just too strong. But, since you insist and it's only $5 I just threw it in.

You may end up completely surprised on that one. ;) And as you said, it's worth a shot, eh?

I must say that all my vliquids taste great in most anything I toss them in, but in the Kabuki, that level of goodness just goes up by several notches.
 
Well, hello there fellow

my packet from Zen finally arrived today so at last I can start vaping it . . .

It might 'just' be an engraved end cap but to me it's priceless, thank you so much Zen. :wub:

And so, finally, at long last, it is complete:

and OMG, I can't believe the flavour. I thought you lot were kidding, but no, my DIY Flavourart pear with a hint of peach evening vape has taken on a whole new life, wow the taste! It's so much better than the taste from the Nautilus Mini it was in before. I really was sceptical but Zen, your Kabuki is a masterpiece :nun:

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some tootling to do

Isn't it amazing? I too had my doubts as I've heard that song and dance before. I was totally blown overboard with the Kabuki.

I fill mine before they empty. Glass is essential with the Kabuki (for me).

And since you brought it up, so are NLV Red Apple, Tappulles & BluBerry Beach. SinnRolz is a mighty fine addition too, but since I only have three Kabuki's, it is relegated to a Nauti tank. Red Apple and Tappulles are my constant-vapes, but I've got a think for apples (and the color orange). I have no idea why (either).

All this talk about NLV makes me want to try it.
