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?

ecig.com currently has 5 packs of the 1.8Ω heads for $7.22. Their shipping is quick and the heads are legit.

Received my 3rd and hopefully final (for a while at least!) Kabuki. Great tanks.

Also using my Super Tank Minis a lot lately. Great subohm tanks that are super cheap. AND they can use full size Triton coils. :)

Looks like you got a screw loose!

Has anyone actually seen an authentic Kabuki and a Fasttech fake side by side? Just curious as the ones online look pretty close to the originals in the stock pics.

I have zero interest in fake Kabukis, but interested to know if there are glaring differences as the fakes all seem to be 510 threaded and with the new batch of 510 authentics coming out, this info might be of interest to other folks on ECF once used ones start hitting the Classifieds, CL, eBay, etc.

the early runs had slotted adjustable 510's, the blue oringed expensive one has the grub screw but the stand is blue...and the allen wrench(?) is silver not black.
thats all i can see...besides the pouch, the storage box and add'l colored o rings as spares...and the black ones that have yellow or blue paint splatters are obvious

also... i may be way off base, but, earlier a poster was noticing on his mt. baker 510 kabuki the wick holes were almost covered up...i said i thought it was how the base was machined and how the atomizer head sat in the base...i now believe i was 100% wrong with that assesment.
plain and simple, its the tubes that act as the tank. some are shorter and allow you to screw the base with the atomizer into the chimney too far. with a tube that is longer, or of proper length the wick holes are fully exposed...with the proper length tank you also alieviate the dreaded atomizer getting wedged in the chimney.
its solved those (2) issues with mine anyway.

I have made a bunch of polycarb tubes for my Kabukis, and yes, you can adjust them a little bit with the OA length of the outer sleeve;)

The Fasstek Kabuki that I got ( just to actually see one in person) now comes with a socket head 510 center set screw, and also now comes with silicon O-rings ( at least one of the versions listed, they have several) Bastids...the only difference noticeable is that the coil sits a little higher in the base than the originals, as they cloned a very early version before Zen made some slight improvements to the design along the way...

A lot of times, these counterfeiters will buy one original, and use it for their photos.

Another good place to buy your coils is EVAPE.US

They sell the Nauti coils for 8.95 and the mini tritons for 9,95, with free shipping on $25.00 purchase. So three packs of either, or mix and match, is quite a deal. All checked out authentic.

Used them for three months now. Fast shipping, and Once I ordered wrong, and they e-mailed me with a correction at 11:35PM. Good customer service!
Normally, if you make a mistake when ordering, and hit the button, it's done. These folks actually fixed it, no questions ask!

Almost makes me wish I had bought one of those pimped out 2.5 Gold ZK for 29 bucks. Ah well, who canoe?
