Nope. It's packaged for extended shelf life. Even though it's designed to be extracted through the "cap" with a needle, I'm not going to touch it until I need it. That will be awhile; there's a lot of juice in the house, and a lot more on the way! Someone mentioned a sale on NLV juice, and, well, I couldn't resist...

You're talking about nicotine, right? Can you put the bottles it comes in straight into a freezer? I've read of people who put it in small glass bottles,and then freeze. That sounds like a lot of work for something a may not use for a long time. I don't plan to start DIYing in the near future, but I think I would like to stock up on nicotine just in case.

Cloners are thieves, and killers of innovation. They suck the lifeblood out of innovators and craftsmen, and offer in return a cheapened and oftentimes inferior rendition of a product for a tainted profit. They offer nothing but a loss in the end...

I've been "small-stocking" (just three liters to date) since the last FDA scare, back in April 2014. They've been in my freezer since, and are 60mg strength, all PG. Just recently I posed the question of degradation to someone whom I happen to trust with issues such as these. I snipped the reply.

If he is correct, I'll be fine.

At my current pace, one liter of 60mg is approx. 1 year's worth of vaping. I'd mix with straight PG/VG if the curtain fell, and would deal with it. I'd also begin lower my nic intake, which is very doable (I've already done it on a small scale). Therefore that liter-per-year equation would soon be liter-per-four-years (or better).

Based on this, I figure 12-15 liters, at approx. $40 per, will carry me through whatever life I have left here. That still equates to less than what one single month of smoking was previously costing us.

Piece of cake.

And I'm not saying this is correct, as I've truly NO idea. But even if it's generally close to true, I'm very comfortable with my Vapocalypse plan. Besides, I truly think the laws WILL get overturned eventually, even if they ARE passed today. We are hopefully in the most oppressive regulatory times this country will ever see. If not, well, then I guess I'll be getting out at just about the right time.

I have faith in common sense. That may be Pollyanic of me, but I do.

Still in all, it is better to have and not need, than to need and not have.

Aye they are in brown glass bottles all sealed with no one extra oxygen inside, very much intended to be frozen right away. V1 of the armor they add argon, the v2 they have a special cap that you put the blunt syringe into tomget the stuff. Either way, opening and rebottling - especially since you can select 1 500ml or 4 150 ml bottles - is a lot of work.

Easier to put it up in 250ml bottles, or even 120ml bottles. If freezer space is not a concern, then 500ml glass bottles can be had.

All of my bottles are double bagged, and some are even packed into cardboard boxes to keep them upright and protected in a cramped freezer. My main concern was protection in case of an accident, I don't want to be dealing with trying to clean it up in case of breakage.

Yea I figured as much but I don't have the midnight blue Radius- or any Radius for that matter.

I was addressing Tea's reply about Zen coming out with different color o-rings. But it's all good ... ;)
I obsessively color coordinate everything.

Note 5!!!
Everything?!? :)

@Zen~ , I remember reading a post from you that Provape made the P3 threading specs available to Mfg.'s. Does this mean that a PV Mfg. could incorporate the threading in their future offerings? Or was this just for Mfg.'s to be able to produce atomizers for ProVape's P3 threading? I have been wondering a few things about this subject, and seeing the popularity of the Kabuki, my mind drifted to PV's, and having the industry moving towards a new standard. If you produced a new PV, would you consider adopting the P3 threading?

Since a few days I am owner of a Kabuki 510, but so far I am Only getting really muted flavour.

In my early vaping period I used a nauti mini with really good results and flavour,
but after that I got more into temp control vaping and sub ohm vaping.

Lately I more and more dislike vaping at higher wattage and want to go back at low wattage vaping,
so I bought the Kabuki after reading all the positive posts here and elswhere.

But so far I have no luck, and have very muted flavour.

The wattage range i've tried is between 6 and 10 on different mods.
First I thought it was maybe because a bad coil and (to) low nic level, so today i changed from 6 (my sub own level) to 12 (my naut mini level) nicotine and a new coil but still the flavour is really muted after 1 tank.

I use the 1.6 coils with the airflow fairly open. Do these coild need a special break-in rituel I am not aware of in the Kabuki?
I never had problems with that in the Nauti, I even let it settle with juice for a whole day with this new coil before slowly breaking in the coil.

I hope you Kabuki experts can help me out, I really want to love this tank, thans in advance for your help!

Have you tried to increase your watts past 10?

Ive tried that also but no better results. Right now I am at 12 on my SX mini but no better results. I think much higher will be to high for these coils?
Power given to the coils in a Kabuki will be different than in a Nautilus.

The airflow in my opinion allows the Kabuki to be run at a higher power level.

Others will weigh in as well.

It damned near killed me to "like" this post. But it was a great game! I'm a NE fan, through and through. And, I love Peyton Manning. Kinda hard to reconcile :blink:.

Straight into the freezer, wrapped in a sock (to further keep out the light, and to keep anyone who may be rummaging around away).

ETA: Asked and answered, I see :)

Hi guys, random question but had a little cleaning issue. Does anyone that owns both the 510 and P3 version know if the top section (drip tip section) are exactly the same on both versions?

Normally clean them separate but ended up getting them all mixed up. They both look the same, but don't want to try putting them back together until I know for sure.

Apologies for the silly question.
