Thank you.
I'm actually looking at getting one in a few weeks but Im not a fan of IBTanked glass.......much too thin and brittle when compared to a Phiniac.
Anybody Using A Kabuki?

Thank you.

I've got two with Phiniac glass too. Check with Jennifer but I believe she's using HOH glass for her artwork (which I love).
Kat, I had the same problem with some loose glass tubes, so I ordered some of Zen's o-rings & they worked perfect for the loose tubes! I would highly recommend trying them.
Zen is in Miami, at a vape bash, so may be a bit before he checks back here.
Hi tyleris. Thanks so much, and I have a sneaking suspicion that you and are using the same glass tubes.
Mamma mia. I just vaped on a half dozen different mods in the time it took you to post that.
And I'm definitely invigorated!!!!
The caps limit the thickness of the glass. My IBTanked tanks are easily 1.5 times thicker than the Kabuki glass. The replacements I got from IBTanked are cut to Kabuki spec, which is thin. If the glass were thicker, it would go out past the caps. For Kabuki to have thicker glass with the same OD, the ID of the caps would need to be smaller, then the wall of the glass could be greater...
Thanks for letting me know this.
Me and thin tanks dont get along.
I got some IBTanks in a trade on the forums a few years back....none of them lasted more than a few months.
I broke a Kabuki tank the first day I got it and I have never broken an IBTanked tank. It rolled off a ledge on my desk to the keyboard tray, 4 inches down and shattered...
IBTanked glass on left, Kabuki on right-
Mamma mia. I just vaped on a half dozen different mods in the time it took you to post that.
Yeah, you crossed my mind too...
Zen glass is actually fused quartz its a harder material than IBTanks pyrex glass....
I have no problem breaking either of the two....lol

Hey Kat,
Jackie claims to be a Tootle Puffer. She said every once in while when she needs a big hit of nic, she will do one big lung hit. Does this disqualify her?
Well, we'll see what she has to say about that! She's sleeping right now but if she even gets up for a drink of water, I'm gonna hit her up with the fact she's not a Tootle Puffer! Her response will probably be different than when she's fully awake...Yeppers.
@drysprocket : What makes the Kabuki better than the nautilus (in my opinion):
- better craftsmanship/materials
- better looking
- smaller (I like stubby tanks)
- no leaking/spitting what so ever
- better taste...but for me it's not twice as much, more like 20%, but it is better
- better service and warranty
- more range in the airflow (you can make it airier (?) than the nauti..if you want)
What is a bit more of a hassle:
- parts or very tigth...I sometimes need a tool to remove the base to refill
All in all it's worth the extra cost in my opinion

two drawbacks with stainless steel.....one....it isnt transparent
and two, even though its supposed to be nonreactive as well, I get cleaner flavor from glass.
I concur.
I would like to add, MADE IN U.S.A.
Being a American, I like that for obvious reasons. For my friends who don't live in America, what that should mean is, not China...
For my friends in China, what that should mean is, we buy enough of your products and the coils it takes are still Chinese...

Good reply.
I haven't noticed a difference in taste, myself.
I can certainly go along with you on the not transparent. I actually prefer glass for that reason, HOWEVER, I bought SS for when I leave the castle and go mobile. If I am somewhere else besides at home and the glass breaks, I have two issues to deal with:
1. A mess to clean up and if it's all over someone's car interior, home carpet or my clothes, that would really suck.
2. If I didn't drive my Jeep, I'd be without a tank and have to buy disposables or a tank somewhere. I know, I know, some of you are going to say, "Just go without." Yeah, right...
zapped for the win. I shudder at the thought of a windowless tank. I know.... they're just super dooper for their lack of fragility, but there is NO WAY I can vape an obscured tank. Even the ole Vivi Nova tanks or Evods with their little itty bitty windows were totally annoying.
Hats off to those of you who can do it (DPL and ginchilly)........ no way Joselina.
I like TRANSPARENCY! <coughahemcough>
The heart of tootlepuffing is 8-10W, with a special dispensation to 12W, 1.8-2.0ohm, 70/30 PG, medium tight draw, mouth to lung, imo.
15W is pushing it.
Anything lower than 8W gets a gold star.
Anything higher than 2ohm see above.
There are people vaping 20/30/40W who consider themselves tootlepuffers.
Not so much imo.
YMMV.
But kat's sandbox, kat's rules.
Actually, wasn't tootlepuffer used as a pejoritive in a cloud chasing thread originally before kat made it into an apellation?

Absolutely perfect, drugarth. Except for the "stubby" part (for me), and I don't get leaking or spitting from my Nauti's. But I DO shake them out after filling (a familiar concept to some males in the audience).
Everything else though was SPOT-ON.
I agree too, zapped. And the ONLY reason I use the SS Nauti is for the out-and-about safety. I can do it with 5ml, but NOT with 2. I have the SS tanks for the Kabuki strictly as backup, and hope to never need them.
I concur.

In your vape gear AND your government officials - yes, indeed.
You're also much more careful than I am, and also MUCH less clumsy than I am. YOU, of all people, know what I can do with a piece of glass...
It's a curse I must live with.
>Indeed it was! If you're part of that thread (now, "those threads"), you'll notice we paid homage to Croak, originally and twice very recently. It was his term, and was anything but complimentary. Something along the lines of, "That's for TOOTLE-PUFFERS!", if I recall...
Which is why I continue to find the whole "thread-phenomenon" so downright hilarious. It truly was created (somewhat) as a lark, and absolutely done as a very simple question, much in the spirit of NASA and Sagan ("Are we alone?").
