the fault lies in precision machining vs. sloppy machining. the slop variable is a tough nut to crack...

The one thing i did learn after breaking two fused quartz tanks is dont put a lot of tenison on it. Just tight up till it touches....
That and always turn backwards until you feel the click before threading the base or a coil back down. I've only had 1 coil get stuck and that was an early production 510 Kabuki. Went to the ZFO and Mike promptly swapped it out for a new base no questions asked AND we had a nice chat about the good ol days...
Yes, That! Once the edge of the glass is past the o-ring, the tank is sealed, a very gentle snug is all that is required.
And I have a feeling most of us would also like to see how that goes! Please report back? I've had my eye on the Ciscos for awhile, but haven't yet bit.
So I think I have the answer to the wonky and roulette coils. Since each Kabuki comes with an abstolutely perfect coil, perhaps the answer is just to keep getting new Kabukis.
(You love me now, Zen?) (C'mon, admit it.)
will do Kat. no shipping date as of yet, but i did order friday night, so we shall see.
the glass actually broke when attempting to remove it from the top portion for cleaning out the nasty NET scum that was lingering. i liked the glass look, but never again. SS tank is going to be it for me. ok..... maybe a spectrum or three.... maybe.....
i was thinking of perhaps buying one of the carto tank nautilus upgrade kits and making a custom tap for the new coils.... this may be a better solution than having to wrench the coils into the atomizer.

I have had my share of bad chimney threads but after a couple fill ups they seem to smooth up a bit. It would be cool if Zen made us a tool to chase threads with.....
That's actually a non standard thread with a really bizarre thread engagement, there is no readily available tap to offer for sale, and making them in the small quantities we would create them in would be INSANELY expensive.
I will not have a booth, but it's hard to miss me at an event, I'm the guy with an unruly beard avoiding Joe Petner. You can bring the PV for conversion, in fact, I may even bring the tools and parts to do it right at the convention, and if I don't, it will have to go back to the shop for the conversion.
I ordered coils from all over the globe from as many retailers as I could find... I needed a WIDE sampling to figure out just how much slop they actually have, and the answer is... "a whole lot" of slop. But after months of experimenting (yes, months) I got it as close as I could. Good times.
You know, Jackie would love a Gun Metal P3 Kabuki to go with her Gun Metal P3. Please make them before we order her a Stealth Kabuki after we move...
Agreed. We all appreciate the work you do! Now if these supercalifragilistic non-American but somehow American made coil guys were "somehow" pushed in the right direction as far as their threading goes....

I know I will be awaiting your findings with bated breath...
Here are some scans of the brochure and the box from the third-party coil supplier in CA. I must say, so far I'm impressed. Ordered on Friday, arrived on Monday. $12.99 for a five-pack, including postage. They look well-made. I'll have to give a report later on how well they work.
