I need it to last me 8-10 hours, in a VERY fast paced environment. And would someone (other than Kat and me) PLEASE take a syringe to it and tell me what you pull out (so to speak)? ...

DP, I used a syringe to fill, this morning. The tank was empty; nary a drop. It took exactly 2.5mls to fill it to the very top of the chimney. One more drop of juice would've caused an overflow; prolly, 2.4 mls would've been perfect. Mine is a P3 'Buki. Don't know whether that makes any difference in capacity.

It must. Both of mine (and both of Kat's) are 510. Thanks, by the way. And a 20% increase is signficant. It still wouldn't get ME through a day, but 20% is 20%. We'd all take a 20% raise in a millisecond, wouldn't we? ;)

Turf - did you measure a 510 or P3?

Now suck it out...

How much do you get?

That's how I measured.

Morning kaubukians :)

I did juice up my rings but for the third refill i still used the tool. Not a huge deal since i work from home right now, and it sounds like it loosens up a bit over time :)

Def. getting a second, still trying to decide if i get another radius with it now or not.

In your opinion,

Do you think it's the Orings or Coil threading causing the tight fit?

Thanks, Jim

Definitely the O rings/glass. Coil stays in when I take the device apart.

The replacement tank went on smoother than the original that came with. I also put more liquid on the Orings before reassembling. It very well could be that I didn't use enough the very first time of use. This time I drowned the suckers. Wiped the excess off the metal parts only (that I would have to handle putting it back together).

Still playing with it ;)

I can vape that puppy damned near dry.

I use ChapStick as my Oring Lube.

Very Sparingly mind you.

Interesting observation, The top (Chimney) section for the P3 and 510 are identical, and all made at the same time, 10,000 Pcs at a time. There IS a slight difference, in how far the coil sits in the base... the coil sits higher in the 510.

I was thinking it had to do with the o rings.

Seems like your issue is different - but my roommate's coils on his nautilus mini last him like 2-3 days MAX. I think it's a combination of two factors: his ADV and his inhaling. His ADV only lasted me about a week and my coil was nasty. Also, he takes very heavy drags, and I think straight to lung. It causes dry burns right away. I keep telling him it's not intended for that and slow/steady wins the race. He's too ignorant to listen, so I let him waste money on coils lol

Whenever I get a new flavor he wants to hit my tank - I cringe and get worried everytime. I casually make excuses so he doesn't try my flavors. I'm convinced he inhales like he's trying to suck a baseball out of a hose.

I got the polycarbonate tube in the mail and the measurements look to be IDEAL with my digital calipers. I'll try to see if I can get some time tonight to cut one to length and then sand/round the edges so they aren't sharp.

Should work flawlessly and the stuff seems very strong. Once I do this, I'm gonna feel like I can toss the Kabuki around! Haha

***And 3ft for < $10 - can't go wrong!
