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.
I use a small flat head screwdriver to gently pry them off.

So that's what flathead screwdrivers are for? When I move up to King, I was going to outlaw those. You've given me a reason for keeping them around.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I'll let you know it works.

A buddy of mine here at ECF told
Me that 1.8 ohm Clapton Triton Mini coils will work in the Kabuki.
Anybody else tried Triton mini's in theirs?
I sure hope so, I just haven't been digging the Nauti coils. Would love to bring my Buki back to life.

I have heard that they will work in the P3 version, although I haven't tried yet myself.

ninja'd by tearose, AGAIN!!!

Again? LOL Seems you are the ninja stealthy -- getting your mini's updated to flat top AND getting the last of the ti's.

Tis ok, I'm well stocked on Ti's, with a Ti Kabuki in my sites, as well. ;)

WHERE IS MY TI KABUKI???? WE WANTS THEM!!!

O-Ring Tool Set

O-Ring Tool Set [OTS] - $9.99 : Big Daddy Vapor

Big Daddy's are sold out but we bought a set that contained only two tools at Harbor Freight before seeing those

O-Ring Hook Scribe Set 2 Pc

Btw, reusing them (O-rings) is not recommended.

I'm using them in both of my Kabuki P3's and they fit just fine.

I just trust my taste buds on this one.

Mind if I put this in Chapter 37 of my new book Life Lessons Via Vaping ? ;)



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.

:thumbs:! Moonshine Willy? :lol: Love it!

I use a dull tweezers, or a cheap dental pick. Be careful tho, if you have cats in the room. Often O rings go flyyyyyyyyyyying! :D

If using the picks, ("O" rings tools), it helps to slightly polish the points to a more tiny rounded finish. The sharp points as they come, will destroy an O ring that you may want to keep. and will certainly scratch the grooves in your Kabuki!

They are also known as watch makers picks, Jewelers picks, and hobby picks.

Although I have several sets of different types here, I simply use two round tooth picks.
Place them under the "O" ring at 12 o'clock, and spread them apart while tipping the rear of them up. The "O" ring will poop right off. (Same way a tire is removed from its rim. LOL!!!:thumbs:

Cold, thanks. I've got some of those around here from a past hobby. The problem is of course finding them.
Thanks a lot, Juma, you just cost me 40 minutes of my life I'll never get back. After reading your post, I thought I'd better go find my set before (although Astro would enjoy it :pervy:) I got caught with my pants down. We moved here back in ROctober and I remember seeing them and purposely putting them where I would find them. Well guess what? I forgot where that was. :sneaky:
