[AstroTurf]

But you can play a radio.

As someone once said ... Why yes - Yes I can !

Just got one, love it. Everything I could want in a tank, honestly. Was never a big fan of dripping and so tired of tanks that nearly double the length of my rig. This one is so svelt and petite, and easy to fill so capacity is largely a non-issue. Almost went for the Geisha hybrid but I just can't give up regulated mods.

Image of 2 P3 kabuki - left normal nauti coil, right triton mini coil (and the reason I think it sticks in the base of the 510). Will try swapping pins at some time.

Got mine this morning too, clapton coil reads 1.8ohm.

Mine arrived today as well, screwed it into a P3 Kabuki, it reads 1.6 ohms on my Radius

Hmmm . .Mine definitely reads 1.49 on my P3, now measures 1.5ohms. I think there must be some initial manufacturing problems if you've got one that measures 1.8ohms. Some variabily is to be expected I suppose but .3ohms difference sounds a bit much to me, not than I'm an expert. Far from it. Also, the base of my Clapton looks to be exactly the same size as the Nautilus coils (I don't have any calipers to measure it, sorry.

Worrying to have so much variability . . .

The P3 Nautilus or the 510 Nautilus? I know the glass for my P3 Nautilus won't work with the 510 Nautilus or vice versa.

I tried it on the 510 Nauti.....got no Provari's ....would like a P3...but they are about $280 over here....and for that kind of money I also get a Dicodes V2+ with a "bit" more options, same quality and double the warranty, and still have a few bucks left ...and I LOOOVE my dicodeses ....so have to deal with the 510 connection system LOL

510 fix - swap the triton pin with an standard coil pin and it works and doesn't get stuck in the base
My 1.8 is stable so as long as it's working , the second one on the 510 is 1.7 ohm (I thought they were meant to be 1.8 but might be wrong).

According to the aspire site the claptons are supposed to be 1.8

Aspire - Aspire Odyssey mini kit(Quest Mini kit for UK market)

I'll be interested to hear how long these last for y'all. Claptons gunk faster than normal coils for me when I've used them in an rda…

Got mine this morning too, clapton coil reads 1.8ohm. Couldn't get it to work at all on my 510 - the pin in the bottom of the coil stuck in the base of the kabuki and the rest of the coil came out stuck in the chimney. Looks as if the bottom pin is a bit wider on the triton coil which is causing the problem. (Only tried one coil). Also couldn't get a connection with my oldest P3 kabuki but did with my newest. I'm not sure if that's because my newer one has a deeper base (did zen drill all newer ones deeper after the problems some people had getting coils to connect?) Again haven't done much fiddling or tried more than one coil - so it may be I'll be able to get the older kabuki base to work with a different coil.

There is definitely some difference between my first Three P3 Kabuki and my last Two P3 Kabuki.

The last Two take alot more effort to get together and take apart. I'm thinking that is down to differences in the o rings.

They also have some difference in the bases. They seem to screw down further, not as smoothly as the OG.

I'm assuming Zen~ made some changes in response to user feedback, connection issues, etc.. Unfortunately, I wasn't having any issues.

Can't say I prefer the new to the old.

The new ones will go into 'pocalypse storage.

The old ones will just keep on truckin'.

I like the Dicodes alot, although the menu system is a bit intimidating at first. Once you get used to it and do the initial setup, it is really easy and kinda like the 2.5 menu system (in that you click and pause when the correct option is shown). I wouldn't give up either the Provari or the Dicodes - both are extremely well made and supported!

I'm curious about the flavor - how does the Clapton coil flavor compare to the Nautilus coil?

20th May 2016 for us in the UK sadly. Of course a miracle might happen but I'm not convinced. I've already got 2 hollow sleeve Nautiluses in my 'pocalypse storage, and will be adding a couple of litres of 7.2% nic to my freezer early next year. Thankfully Zen has already said the Kabukis will come with an insert that reduces the tank volume to under 2ml, so no need to buy any more immediately. That said, one Kabuki is never enough, two Kabukis are never enough. Three Kabukis is approaching acceptability. Of course, once the Kabuki Mega sees light of day than wey hey, the sky's the limit (one can only hope!)

I'm waiting for the ZenCote ones before I buy another Kabuki though . . . .

I vape unflavoured so can't comment on subleties The nic 'fizz' seems about the same on both. I am really happy with the standard coil but good to know there are other coils that work too. Hoping the standard coils will go down in price now there are new alternatives (and I can stock up).

Yes, definitely a little more flavour but for me it's also changed the taste of my Lemon Torrone Parfait - less lemon flavour, more custard flavour. Weird, and not totally of my liking, but the coil hasn't fully bed in yet. Considering the price of the new Clapton coils though, I don't think I'll be buying any more for now.

I hope that others decide to buy the Clapton coils, though so that the standard coils come down in price (as mentioned by @kates). I would like to stock up on those, too!

any chance Zen ship to Canada?

I think he has some suppliers that carry his products over there.

 

[Stunned Guy]

I'll give it another shot tomorow (night time in Holland now) and will post my (hopefully) positive results tomorrow.

I gave it another shot today and vaped again a whole tank, trying different wattages,
different airflow settings but still really muted flavour.

I will clean the whole tank and try again in the weekend with a new coil.

I really don't understand it..

Ooh and a Radius on his way, damn vaping

I want to order some stuff off his site...but its only accepting US address
