Haha
yep, maybe I have something in common with my husky Ronin 
I do find that I am very sensitive to high pitched sounds.I do think the noise is coming from the Radius, but I do hope it might just be associated with this coil. It is certainly a 'power' type noise.

Don't worry. The older you get the less you will notice it.
Bahahaha - well at least that is something to look forward to. Am 47 now, but Murphy's law says I will probably get tinitus just to send me completely around the bend

A least you will know when to lower your nic, too much can make your ears ring.
If you decide on the P3 vape Gear has the satin silver for £99.99 and the black for £120,absolute bargain basement prices!Tough question. Do I buy a P3 from the UK or a ZNA light with 18650 tube shipped to me from the USA in which case I might well get stung for VAT and import duty? I don't have much money so either will be a big undertaking for me. My head says P3, my heart says ZNA
Trust me the site looks a bit basic but the guy running it is top notch, Highly recommended!

I finally got mine last week....
Had to order it from the UK coz couldnt find anyone who had it yet here in FR (that was surprising,they usually get stuff pretty quickly ...).
Cost me a FORTUNE (bad exchange rate, shipping etc. = 130 Euro with an extra tank and shipping= would probably have been cheaper albeit slower from the US...oh well...next time!)
I purchased it from Creme de vape UK and they were extremely FAST & efficient, they sent out the order the same day, I had it in my hands two days later.
I really didnt expect much from this tank but...it IS TRUE!!!
(As a regular Mini Nautilus +Provari P3 user) ...
= THERE IS a def difference in taste despite the use of the same coils!
= I LOVE IT!
LOV the extra taste and love the great AIRFLOW! it definitely blows away the mini Nautilus!
LOV how easy it is to refill, there's lots of space to insert the eyedropper-no risk of spilling any juice into the center chimney!
Only bad thing ...yes,my glass tank broke the VERY FIRST TIME I tried to unscrew to refill it..even though I was very gentle as I had read about that problem happening to quite alot of people...
Fortunately, Creme de Vape (and probably others) sells spare glass tanks so I had thought to order a spare outright.
Also, the bottom black o-ring partially "split",maybe because of the juice Im using (Beantown Vapor "Pearana" ?),for now it's still holding but will have to purchase several extras.
Have had NO visible leaks.No accumulation of juice was found when I changed coils ('thus no gurgling EVER !!!)
I think that for long term use it may be necessary to buy the SS tank, even though I hate the full metal tanks,but at the 9 BP + shippping for an extra glasss tank there may be no other choice (especially for longevity in view of the future EURO-regs vapocalypse we 're expecting re May 2016 !)
As a last note, it's very important to watch HoH Zen's Utube video , wish I had done so when i first got it (I watched someone else's that really wasnt much use to me...).....only lasts a few minutes and he gives some very useful unboxing tips .
For example, he suggests using the little tool that comes with it (the one meant to adjust the airflow) as a sort of lever, especially when the Kabuki is new, and YES it DOES greatly facilitate the unscrewing process...since Ive been following this tip my tank hasnt broken and unscrewing for refills etc has become so easy.
Ive tried & have just about everything as far as tanks go , mini Aerotank/Aerotank, Atlantis, SuBOX Mini, Subox micro, GS Air, Aromamizer etc etc
I took the plunge and ordered the Kabuki- despite the high cost and not having had the chance to "try" it out anywhere before hand - entirely based on this thread ....
... so THANKS GUYS for the great advice !!!!

My Kabuki came in this cute little jar with a sticker on top. Said to see instructions before opening and points to a you tube video. The ink on the sticker was a bit smeared right on the you tube link so I couldn't figure it out. Fortunately I did watch Zen's unboxing video on Provape's website beforehand.
I still have to use the Allen wrench to open the tank for refills. It's still really tight and I don't want to break my glass so I'm erring on the careful side.

I dont know about the aqua fx BUT I can add my 2 cts re the Mini Nautilus which ive been using for over a year now (usually at 9-10W with the 1.60 ohm coils).
The Kabuki certainly is alot better flavor wise, I would say +30 % (that's just my opinion and Im no expert) but definitely very noticeable....
I tried it with the airflow ring "as it was" upon delivery and got TONS of vapor,great airflow...a LOT more than on my Mini Nautilus (which I always used on biggest airhole).Im not a "cloud chaser" either but the Kabuki is giving me LOTS of thick smoke, It would certainly satisfy someone who was into that, absolutely a whole other league than the mini Nautilus for that too
I use high VG very thick liquids, works GREAT, better than the Mini Nautilus (my thick liquids would mess up the aiflow holes sometimes over night)

I haven't had an issue with Pearana... Something else, perhaps?
Thanks for your input
Pearana has never caused me any issues either up until now and it's been an ADV for 7-8 months ,but it was the only thing i could think of since it happened the very first day I used my new kabuki ...?
The only thing i could think of was me putting several drops of juice directly on the o-ring to (hopefully) facilitate opening)...It split about 1 cm in length at about a third of the width of the ring (top third) .
So far it's still holding/hanging in there, Ive ordered a spare (+ a second kabuki,im that happy with it!) that should be arriving soon....
Same thing : my sticker came "smeared" too...just couldnt read the first letter on the utube address ...
oh wow...I love this one! Anyone know a place selling this one anywhere in Europe (EU/UK) ?
Well, got my Kabuki base from Zen, Thank you Zen. no spinning coils, so all is good.....back in KABUKI BLISS
I'm past having to use the allen wrench to open my Kabuki but it's interesting to note that the two I have are very different in the force needed to unscrew.
My first one (that I broke the glass less than 15 minutes after receiving - was never wet) takes a wide rubber band on both the tank and base to get it open.
My second one that I got a week later opens very smoothly using just my grip and not even with full strength.
I'm not overtightening either of them as far as I can tell. At first I would only tighten until the o-ring was inside the tank securely, but I began thinking doing it that way might be a bad idea. I don't know if it's easier to chip the bottom edge or if it actually would make the tank weaker but now I tighten the tank until it just touches the base.
Even if I had to use a 48" pipe wrench to open and fill it, the vape experience makes it totally worth the effort.
