Not sure if yours looks like mine. I circled the wick holes. (IMO) too much of the wick is covered up so I don't get the same mouth watering vape as others do.
Also (IMO) the inhale is very tight- something I don't like.

If this is the intended design of the 510 Kabuki, then it's too much work to get a decent vape out of it.

!!! G*NOTE FIVE !!!

I think mine looks more like the hole on the right but I agree it wasn't the same experience as my other tanks and I actually do like a tighter draw usually though I've been starting to like more airflow with the kabukis. This was different though and the tightness was more of a suction. Even the picture of the 510 on the MBV website appears to have the holes covered more too though so I don't know what to think but I hope I get one with a little more exposure on my return.

I really can't say enough good things about the P3 tanks I own though. They really do live up to the hype in my opinion or I wouldn't be spending money on more of them.

Same here. I really didn't want to drop almost $100 on ONE tank, but after listening to a buddy rave about his Kabuki relentlessly for weeks, I told him I would try one out if he just shut up already!:p

In any case, that was a few weeks ago and my 3rd Kabuki is arriving on Monday.

They really are that good IMO. And the P3 connection is fantastic and much more solid than any 510 I have ever seen.

Have you tried giving it a good cleaning? I vaguely recall someone having something blocking their air flow and when they removed the screw and blew a speck of metal shavings came out.

The other solution is to send to HOH and have them debug it for you. You can go to the site and get their number and call during "normal working hours" and determine if it does need their TLC. Zen has posted here that he prefers to handle any issue directly -- and it is under lifetime warranty, too.

Quick question - has anyone found a site for genuine Nautilus BVCs with a decent price? Provape has them for $15.95 - they've (so far) proved to be genuine, but others I've bought (online) are counterfeit when checked on the Aspire website. Or do the counterfeits generally measure up?

MyFreedomSmokes has them at a decent price, and regularly has 40% off sales, in which you can order 2 of each box (1.6 & 1.8) at maximum, per registered account on their site.
I've heard SweetVapes has them for under $10 per box, as in $9.95, but I've never bought from them.
I think Sir Rod of Lube has, and hasn't had trouble.
If it wasn't him, it was someone credible on this forum, as this is the place I first heard of SweetVapes.
As a matter of personal practice, I never buy counterfeit anything. It's not about money, or status, it's about the safety of materials used. The Aspire coils already being mass produced in/by China worries me enough, without taking the risk on god-knows-what materials in the counterfeits.

Thanks - much appreciated. I share your concern with the Chinese counterfeits, which is why I asked.

I haven't bought Nauty coils from SweetVapes yet, but I have bought other things from them. I was buying my Nauty coils from MFS during their sales, but will be switching to SweetVapes in the future.

Sweet-Vapes is good. I'm buying 10 boxes a month for as long as I can!

That's a good idea. Basically a carton of smokes worth of $$$ invested in coils a month.

I only tend to go thru one Nautilus coil a week as I still use drippers and RBAs, but I want to have 20-30 boxes on hand in the next month or two.

I will likely have 10 boxes shipped to my hotel in NYC next month as they are more $$$ in Canada.
