Anybody Using A Kabuki?

[newyork13]

I hope someone does. Without a Kabuki RBA, I will likely sell all 4 of my Kabukis and buy a bunch of Kayfuns.

My wife is completely off the smokes and has been vaping like a madwoman for 3 weeks now which is amazing. Not so amazing is going thru 3-4 coils a week between us. I have no intention of buying a thousand Nautilus coils to last us 5 years or so....

I was thinking the same, though not planning to sell my Kabukis. I did get a Kayfun 5, and yes I can rebuild it forever, but it doesn't turn me on. I'm gonna sell it and keep looking for an RTA that I enjoy half as much as the Kabuki. (Keep going back to Sophias and Kabukis.)

DOOD I so fricken WISH!!!!

I know @Zen~ wanted to keep things simple, and utilize the best coil he could find on the market...(and knowing that negates everything I'm about to say)...

BUUUUT we all know he is fully capable of designing a rebuildable Kabuki deck/base.
And he may already have done so.

But with everything going wrong in the world, especially with vaping, there may be no time or energy left to spare on such a project.

I'm hoping the world will get to see genius behind the coming "ZNA Pro"...

Yes.
In view of what just happened to us, thanks to our loving government, I'd love to hear Zen's take on our circumstances and also your comment, which I believe, about his ability to build us a rebuildable deck.
Zen? Are you out there?

I got a bunch of older Protank heads with the white rubber grommet insulator, all I can taste when I try to use them is the rubber, I've leaned how to take them apart and substitute the silicon grommet from spent coils in there and save the coils.

Yeah, I'll think of something to replace that rubber with if I have to.

I hate the FDA.

Maybe I am a fool for trying hard to remain optimistic. Too many Kabukis to toss the towel in so I am accumulating Nautilus coils.

You may recognize a few of the Board members: http://www.seviausa.org. Who knows how successful they will be. Wish they would include updates of what they are doing or have done — or perhaps they have not accomplished anything newsworthy.

Yeah, me too. I was really into building BVC coil stock until ENAUD comes along and, "crushes my smokes." I'm still going to build stock and hope for the best. Sucks.

I hate the FDA.

I don't see any reason not to.

You were going to buy them over time, anyway, before the deeming, just not all at once.

I buy them a hundred at a pop these days. Expensive? Yes. But it is not an expense I would have avoided in any case.

Listening.

The whole thing just sucks. Sucks, sucks, sucks.

word. word. word.

Wow, you posted that at the right time. I thought about not posting that last whining reply. You somehow make me feel better about group therapy.

Zen~ apparently buys Five or Ten Thousand at a time.

Yeah well, the whole idea kind of got deflated when MR. ENAUD comes along and injects some reality caution. He could very well be right, but I sure hope not. Zen offs them to whoever before the rubber goes bad. Sure, it might not be for 3, 4 or even 8-10 years but I'M HOPING TO LIVE AT LEAST ANOTHER 40 ING YEARS!

I gotta go put the headphones on...

Sorry about that, it's just the way I think. I always seem to notice the chinks in the armor when I look at stuff, and plans. For me, my money is better spent on rebuildables that may only require O-rings, which could be sourced from any generic vendor on the market.

 

[jwbnyc]

The o rings are silicone in the Nautilus coils and they are pretty much use and pitch.

I'm not worried about them going bad, but then, I'll be lucky (?) if I make it Ten more years. Forty? Not going to happen lol.

 

[jwbnyc]

I'm prepared to go that way Duane.

Just not going that way. Yet.

Welp, I've got my imaginary headphones on tonite. You SURE you want ME leading the group therapy session?

Ok, I will. Just for you, ginster.

No, please keep pointing out the chinks. It's a much needed voice.

He's talking about the rubber grommet that keep the pin in place.

I'm 49 years old. 49 + 40 = 89
