Yeah, I got this to try it out, and after about 5 minutes arrived at the conclusion that if this was all that's available, I'd be back to smoking cigs. Way too frustrating, annoying, time consuming ... I just don't see the point, get some real rta's which work a lot better, while they're available. If you're totally broke, then buy a bunch of kayfun clones off Fasttech, and you'll be much, much, MUCH better off than this thing.

Oh I'm not hurting going into the deeming. I've been 'rebuilding' for 4+ years now. My wife and I have plenty of KFL-nanos, Lites, and KFV4's. The Kabuki's are relatively new for us just a couple month's with 'em. Was mainly looking into the VVTV in case our stock pile of coils runs out and more aren't available on the market. The Kabuki is really nice and I'd hate to put it aside due to lack of availability of coils.

Hey folks, been a while.

Just picked up my 3rd kabuki, and it should be getting here soon. I use a bf dripper 99% of the time, and use my kabuki's as my inside/stealth vapes. I run a coil for about a week or two with some fantastic N.E.T.s, and swap it out.

I've been rebuilding since August 27 2014 - the day I quit. KFL+s, cyclones, Derringers, vaper v4s, zau, et cetera. Some quite small and difficult.

I still find the VVTF coils almost impossible to wick and coil consistently. I tried a few times and shelved them.

Imho, they are not worth the effort while coils are available. The key I've found is only having one kabuki in service at a time. Use rebuildables with UFNB for most of your day, and enjoy the kabuki with some tasty juice as a treat each night.

Operating in this way, even my meager stash of coils will last quite some time...

What brand of NET are you vaping? I don’t vape as much NETs as I use to due to coil life however when I do I get 3 to 5mls out of a Nautilus coil. What’s your secret for getting a week or two out of a coil?

I'm running "NS dark" (regular strength) from Naturally Extracted tobacco LLC. It's pretty tasty, not too sweet and not super dark. It's a 70pg/30vg blend.

The secret is using a BF dripper with unflavored juice like 99% of the time, and using the kabuki on either a Tesla stealth, mini volt or zna for about an hour in the morning and an hour or two at night.

Here's a first.

Usually, when I fill a kabook, I generally have a pea-sized air bubble in there. Well, this last time, I managed to fill one so full, there was no air bubble at all.

whoops.

Vaped it down to where there is now the usual pea-sized air bubble.

Never done that before.

Have just received my 2 authentic replacement glasses for my Kabuki from Provape - such a joy to use it again. I was buying a coil jig from Fastec and thought I would grab a couple of the "kabuki" glass to keep as desperate spares to hopefully tied me over in the case of another breakage.

Has anyone tried them successfully or are they just bin fodder?

Confused?!?

Authentic, and Fastech are not the same? Are they?

Thanks, Jim

No they are not LOL.

I will explain a little better...

I bought 2 authentics - they came from Provape ;-) I purchased a couple of the cheap "fakes" from fastech as I don't really care if they end up in the bin and thought for a couple of bucks it was worth a punt to keep incase of an emergency. I did not for a second consider the fake tank.

The glass you ask about should work just fine.

Interestingly enough there are quite a few people who love their cheap fake FT 'bukis & use them daily.

We're coming home!

It's been a long journey back home for our film.

It started in New Zealand, went to Europe, and now I'm headed to Australia next week. Along the way, we've collected various awards and made countless appearances in the press.

New Zealand's government publicly stated on TV they would reconsider their ban.

New Zealand also just announced they are defunding the same sort of lobbyists we feature in the movie.

The truth will not be denied.

I am an American. Nearly half a million of my neighbors die early each year from smoking. Instead of helping them use new technology, our government just announced corrupt new regulations that will severely hurt the people who helped nearly 9 million people reduce or quit smoking this decade. Canada is not much better.

It's time for truth.

On August 6th, 2016 at 7pm, we'll be hosting our North American premiere at the historic Pabst Theater in our hometown, Milwaukee. Near the center of North America, we're inviting our friends from the continent to join us for a celebration of the completion of our movie and to rally as we take this to the public.

It's time to make some noise, wake up the public, catch Hollywood's attention, and make the crooked politicians nervous.

Tickets go on sale Wednesday, July 6th (noon) at the Pabst Theater box office or PabstTheater.org. With 13,000+ people signed up for this invitation, we do expect a sellout.

If you are a member of the media, a political leader, or have helped us in the past, please reach out. I have reserved some tickets for you.

The red carpet event will start at 7pm. There is a bar in the lobby and we're planning an epic after-party celebration presented by Molecule Labs. We couldn't have pulled this celebration off without their help (or that of the Cheshire Club who made the introduction).

Please show them support.

I look forward to celebrating with you.

Here's the details:
  • August 6th at The Pabst Theater in Milwaukee
  • Red carpet begins at 7pm
  • After-party to follow, presented by Molecule Labs
  • Formal event
  • Tickets go on sale at noon on July 6th
  • More details to come!
See you there!

Thanks. OK I understand now how you are extending coil life to a couple of weeks. I too vape NET.com eliquids. The best out there not to say the assortment is brilliant.
