Thanks for the info! Last time I checked, the 1.8's were not available. Well, they are now...
EDIT: NOPE! Only one 1.8 pack left. Oh well, I just received 15 packs from MFS yesterday anyway...

15 packs???
I'm expecting 10 packs to last me:
3 weeks per coil
5 coils per pack
17 coils per year
So 3 packs per year-ish, with a total estimated 5 DOA coils, per 10 packs of good coils.
I think I'm set for about 3 years, give or take a few months. But I'll still probably buy another 10 at some point.
Plus, my lonely Kabuki (which will have a Stealth partner at some point), is in rotation with:
3 KFL+ v2
2 Kayfun 3.1
1 KF4
1 Gem
1 Atmizoo Wave
1 ByLeo Sophia v1
And soon a ByLeo P3 Calix
...........and whatever Provape is launching...which is heavily favored to be an atomizer (finally).
My guess is, it will be TWO atomizers...one coil-taker, one rebuildable.

I'm lucky if I get one week from a coil, four to five days is about when I usually pull them and slap a new one in.
Would you mind if I ask why?
What's the deciding factor there?
I used to thoroughly rinse my Nauti coils once a week and get more than a month on one coil.
If rinsed regularly, and thoroughly, they CAN be used for extended times.
Maybe I need to start doing that again...hmmm...
The only flavor I use in my Kabuki is a Spearmint/Earl Grey, and the spearmint part masks the age of the coil pretty well.
Well, the old style last me 15ml per coil, the new style last me 30ml. It takes me 6-10 daze to go through 30ml leaning more towards 10 daze. I'm 49 and if I live to be 90, I figure I'm going to need @ 300 packs. I have 30 packs, 6 of them being the old style and a few HH rebuilds for good measure.
See I guess I don't vape as much as 90% of most of you here...cuz I don't measure how much I vape by how much juice I use.
It takes me like a month to go through 15ml of any one flavor, however I DO have 6 flavors in daily rotation.
I literally take a different Provari/tank setup out the door every day of the week.
Some times I will vape a second flavor at night, as a way to help the shuffle be more efficient.

Yeah, when I was using the 5ml Nautilus, I had five Nautilus' standing in my mod stand all with a different flavor and a SS one for going mobile with a 6th flavor so I totally get where you are coming from and that is a totally cool way to be. Nice, as a matter of fact But now that I switched to the Kabuki, it is $90-$100 a tank and having 6 of them filled with a different juice would be a little $$$outlandish, for me anyway. I say that but I do have 2 that I use with glass for at the house and 2 that I use with SS for mobility and a spare one w/SS out in the Jeep but I only use one glass one at a time and one SS at a time with the other ones as spares or in case I'm in the middle of something come juice changeover (end of bottle) and don't have time for the cleaning and changing of coil.
I've been thinking about having 2 different flavors in glass, it is nice to be able to change-up at will and after conversing with you, I'm going to think about it more.

I go through about 8-10 mls per day, tobacco flavors, I mix them at about 5% flavoring, and a lot of times will cut that 50/50 with unflavored. I mix at
60pg /40vg, or 65pg/35vg. I have tried the rinsing/ soaking in alcohol thing, and I can get another day or so out of them, but that's about it.
I'm very picky about how my vape tastes, for instance, I like the ProTank 2 because I can easily re-wick the coils with cotton, and do so at every single fill, as soon as the cotton gets the buildup in it, I can taste that and don't like it.
Back to the Nauti coils, I don't just toss them, I pull them apart and save the res/ no-res wires, the cotton is always blackened and the coil is loaded with carbon when I dissect them, so I know my taste buds aren't lying to me.
The 4-5 days time I gave is for situations like when I have traveled, and relied solely on my Kabuki tank, in day to day life, I'm running two Kabukis and a Nautilus, two Cerotanks, a ProTank, two Z-Atties, and a good handful or REOs mods and a couple drippers, grabbing whichever mod happens to suit my fancy that particular day, so I go solely by taste on when I yank the coils, when one tastes funny to me, I'll drain it, and fill it up with un-flavored e-liquid. After about half tank, it will either improve, or the "burnt" taste will remain. I just trust my taste buds on this one.
Well you certainly have it down to your own science!
Thanks for the breakdown!
In some ways, you're lucky you've got the taste buds to tell you about your vape!
In other ways, I'd say not so lucky! How much more carefree would you be if you could just vape away on a coil for a month, regardless of juice consumption?
But see, this is a perfect example of how subjective a vaping experience can be between two people.
And that's typically what starts arguments.
Why do people be so dumb?
This sh|t ain't RELIGION! Hahaha!!!!
P.S. I saw your review of the Kabuki on Zen's site! You use the ENAUD name everywhere don't you? I feel like I've seen it in many other places but never put two and two together!
Yes, a lot of folks get way too emotionally drawn in to this stuff, and then the snowball starts to roll, seen it a million times. That aspect of the forum board is starting to get pretty old for me.
As for the name, I've also gone by the handle sitflyer, in other places and times, and have been called "Moonshine Willy" in another sub-culture. Enaud seems to fit me best these days, I like to look at things a little backwards sometimes.
I have multiple Kabukis and vape several juices during a day. I've tried different ways to tell the tanks apart. It finally dawned on me to use different color rings. I ordered a bunch the other day from Zen, and they should be here tomorrow. Since there is nothing wrong with the current black ones, what's the best way of getting them off so I can reuse them later? I've only had one Kabuki ring go bad, so I didn't mind yanking it off with a pair of sharp-nosed pliers. But I don't want to bugger these up. Thanks.
