I thought she was referring to the new screw in P3 to 510 base adapter. He is selling those. I bought 1 and it is the best of both worlds.

That would be the adapter rather than the base. And yes:)Zen is selling them!!!;)

Never cared for the nati tank. Or any other of the type. None. I used strictly rebuildables. Love the Aromamizer! The Kabuki for me, is the only drop in tank that gives truly good flavor. In fact, I put away even my KFuns in favor of the Kabuki! Many love the KFuns, yet the Aromamizer simply blows them away. No contest!

Yet I have put the Aromamizer away in favor of the Kabuki due to the fact that the Kabuki gives great flavor, yet uses apx. 1/3 the liquid, and where I used three 18650's a day with the Aromamizer, I only need one for the Kabuki. The aromamizer required low ohms around .5 or so, at 30 watts to give the flavor of the Kabuki at 1.6 to 1.8 ohms @ 9 watts.
A HUGE Difference!

Now to put this in truly pointed perspective, my Wife and I only have two Kabuki Knock-offs.:( And they are very tasty. So what to do next? Should have a Ti-Kabuki here first of next.:headbang::banana::thumb:
Really looking very much forward to it!!!:cool:

It does seem to me that the kabuki glass is more fragile. I think it has to do with some sort of structural thing. I just got a metal tank to replace my glass one that broke, but for some reason its not fitting properly. Might have to buy a polycarbonate one... Just be a little more careful with it, because it it toally worth it!
I think the Kabuki definitely has better flavor. It also produces a ton of vapor for an MTL tank.

If you are having difficulties getting the metal tank to fit, 99.9% of the time it's an O-ring issue. The silicone ones bought off the HoH site are a perfect match for all applications I've tried...stock crystal, metal GMZ, IBTanked replacement, and Phiniac custom glass. YMMV though, just my experience to date.

That's good enough for me, going to snag some of those silicon O-rings for my "Bukis! :)

I know exactly what you mean. I have this "thing" where all i want is kabuki tanks, provape mods, and what the hell, a hexohm for funsies.
And the blue drives me nuts. But I will eventually replace mine too.

I'm curious why people (in general) bought the blue one only to replace the orings with black instead of buying the black from that start? My purpose for blue was specifically to match my blue ProVari so chances are extremely high I won't be charging the orings.

I would have gone with black straight up had I been able to find it in a 510 model. All I could get my hands on was the one from MBV. I like blue but it just didn't match the mod I'd be using it with the most.

I'd been away from the forums for a few months & when I came back, all I saw was Radius w/Black oring Kabuki everywhere.
As long as mine sits on my blue ProVari I won't even think about changing the orings. Mainly due to all the talk about glass breaking. This recently happened to me with one of my KFM. Took forever {IMO} for that cut to heal.

Thank you for the info. Two years of nautilus use means much to me. Last question: Any real improvement in taste? I notice the chimney seems smaller so perhaps but... kinda seems that the actual flavor would be more dependant on the coil and not so much on the enclosure surrounding it. At least that's been my experience with various Rta's that take others coils but ya never know.
It's really about trying to get her something nice that will use these coils since this is her bona fide go to device. Thx again for the help - David
My wife likes the ease of the nautilus. She loved them. Then I found the kabuki and thought the same as you. That she should have a nice tank to use. I got her one and she loves it. It is all she wants to use. We are trying to save so she can have more. My wife is very picky so if she likes them I am sure you wife will too.

A 4th Kabuki is surely in my future!

Sitting on 5 Kabooks and would have had 6 if I had a mod to match the color of the Ti Kabuki. Sadly I don't.
Been keeping an eye out for a new box mod that Ti would be a perfect match for. I have not seen a lot of pics posted with the Ti Kabuki perched on top of box mods. I'm a little OCD when it comes to having the carpet match the drapes[emoji12]

It appears that the Stealth Kabuki is available...I believe it wasn't for a time. What say anyone as to durability of finish for said rig, please?

Not good, actually. Easily scratched. Better off with SS or Gunmetal as I can attest to said three. Don't know about Ti but can't imagine that being a problem.

The Ti Kabuki is actually a really close match to the satin silver of the standard Radius.

Just for fun! I wouldn't charge my orings either! But, I may change them, probably for wear!:thumb:
