Excellent post. I have been considering the triton mini coils myself, but yours is the first good experience I've seen. Looking forward to more good reviews.Even though there was a LOT of naysayers on the Triton coils, I picked up a 5 pack anyway. Even ZEN told me I wouldn't like them. But I seem to be one of those types that I just have to see for myself. And in this case, glad I did.
I ordered the 1.8 Clapton coils. Didn't really expect much from them. And I learned thru trial and error that they have to be run higher than the Nauti coils. But neither of the two coils can for me at least, be run at the recommended Wattage listed on the box. I run the Nauti at 8.4- 8.7, and the Triton at 9.4 to 10.8. The Triton really does come alive at 11 watts but it shortens the life by a full day or more.
With the liquid I use, (Vape Wild's "On Cloud Custard", chased with a bit of Strawberry SC-2. I tend to burn a coil up in about 4 days. Hoped the Clapton would last longer, but no, about the same.
What it did offer was a greater degree of air thru the coil, making for a somewhat easy direct lung vape. Something a little more with the Nauti coil. As I use dual coil RBA's and RTA's quite a bit, this was welcome.
The real surprise, is with this liquid combo, that flavor was both richer, full bodied, and I wasn't getting the dreaded vaper's tongue after an hour or two after getting up in the morning. The flavor of the liquid lasted all day. As I type this, I have been on this combo for 16 hours and the flavor is still outstanding. I would have to go to other devices with different liquid to get the same enjoyment of flavor with the Nauti Coils. So for me, a huge improvement for me personally.
I also followed some advice, and tried a drop of distilled water in the tank, of both the Nauti and Triton. It did help in the useable life of the coil. Also, with each tank full, I use the end of a pipe cleaner and put it thur the coil while turning in in clockwise motion. As if screwing it into the coil. This has to be continued when drawing the pipe cleaner out of the coil as well, or the coil will be damaged.
I snip the end of the pipe cleaner off, as it will now have char on it. I repeat this twice more, and one more time with the pipe cleaner soaked in my liquid. Finally, putting a few drops of the liquid on the coil, as if it is a new coil. This has given a couple of days of added use, with a much improved flavor right up to the day it turns bad.
So for me, the Triton has worked. Now I have a handful of boxes of the Nauti's, and only two Tritons left. Grrrrrr!!! Will be ordering more on the First of the Month.
No doubt the 50/50 pg/vg has a lot to do with the short life of the coils.
I have seen it written that darker liquids kill coils. Yep, seem to! Also seen it written that any sweet liquid kills them as well. My wife likes Vape Wild's Candy Cane. and it is SWEET!!! And although I havn't tried it in a Kabuki yet, the wicks in the Aromamizer last for a month with the Candy Cane. But have to be changed ever other day with my liquids. So maybe, sweet isn't the all time coil killer we all thought it was.
I loaded up a Kabuki tonight with the Candy Cane and will see how it goes.
Knife
Would like that my Wife loves her Kabukie, and wasn't really keen on trying the Triton coils. After trying mine, she now wants her Nauti's replaced with the Tritons First of the Month as well. Guess we'll have a few boxes of the Nauti's in reserve. Oop's
Anybody Using A Kabuki?

@Knifemaker , I'm going to give your pipe cleaner trick a try on my Nauti coils, I've still got a ton of them things from back when I was using the T3s clearo's 
Don't know if the Pipe cleaner trick will work for ya Guy! Seems like when they're gone, they're gone. Sure helps before they start showing age though.
You have to be super careful with the Nati coils, as the smaller coil loves to pull out. You have to go slow and easy

OOOOOOKAYYYYY...
Let's keep it family friendly in here, ya scally-wag!
So far so good. I really like them. Good flavor and an almost a subohm vaping experience.
They are definitely not for everyone though. I am running the 1.2 Triton Mini at much higher wattage than 1.8ohm Nautilus (17-18w vs 9-13w).
@10w or less this coil is useless IMO. Anyone currently running a 1.6/1.8 Nautilus under 10w will hate these IMO.
I would like to try the pipe cleaners. I know there is the arts n’ craft ones as well as the tobacco pipe cleaners. Does it matter which ones? I guess the materials they are made out of are different and maybe the diameter.
@BreSha6869 - thanks. I think I have a box of the 1.2 ohm coils that I never tried. Do you notice any difference in longevity of the coil over the Nauty?
So far, one day longer life. But hey, a day more, is money in the bank!
What I did notice was more of those days at full flavor over the Nauti. Surprised to say the least.
Not at all true...
Registered suppliers and advertisers pay the bills around this joint...
ProVape pays a Monthly Fee for this sub-forum, and I pay an annual fee as a registered manufacturer. ECF gathers up all these fees and pays the bills... and make a nice little profit, which they are most certainly entitled to earn.
Don't forget those of us who are supporting members. It may not cost much, but we helped in a small way as well.
If none of you were here ECF would still have to pay server fees.
Just picked up a black Kabuki in the classifieds to complete my trifecta.
I think owning black, SS and GMZ Kabukis is just about enough for me.
Time to sell some of my Nautilus tanks. I think I have 7-8 of them and I doubt they will see much use moving forward.
