Press back and forth on the side of the drip tip. It will loosen up eventually.
When comparing the Aspire tanks... The Triton Tank has better flavor than the Nautilus Tank... however... in all taste tests so far the Kabuki has beat out the Triton, even though the Triton beats the Nautilus... the Triton also KILLS the Atlantis and Atlantis 2. But not the Kabuki.
That being said, The Mini Triton coils should fit the Kabuki, although I have not been able to get my hands on them yet... however... I had prototype test coils that eventually became the Triton Mini... and they will provide a great deal of benefit for our Kabuki users that use it on mechanical mods with the 1.2Ω coils. The 1.8 will be the best one for regulated folks, and I have not had a sample with the clapton coil yet. I'm trying to get them now, but so far, hasn't happened.
For the TC crowd I'm sure the TC coil will be tested by many in the future, time will tell.
The best news in this, that I was aware of but not allowed to reveal... this means more options for Kabuki users... when people were worried about the nautilus coil being discontinued, Aspire has broadened the options even further.
Rumors have been circulating since last week about a rebuildable Nautilus setup in the near future as well.
I have not been able to confirm who the builder is, but I saw a picture today. And here are some details... this is all I know about it. VVTF E Cigarette Vaping Hardware - Vaping, Vapor, Throat Hit, Flavor
So here's this cool chart I made...
One thing needs to be explained... EVERY mod has some internal resistance... it's caused by the connections and interconnecting wires, etc... Nothing in nature has true "zero" resistance... and connectors, because of the threads and such have a fair amount. Every connection, no matter how solid, introduces some. For the purpose of this chart, I called the internal resistance .15Ω... this is an arbitrary number, used as an illustration only. MANY mods, DO have that much internal resistance however.
As the resistance of the coil approaches the internal and connector resistance of the device, more and more power is lost to the connections. As an example, on the first line of the chart... a mod with internal resistance of .15Ω and a coil of .15Ω... 50% of the power is lost in those connections, and 50% of the power makes it to the coil where it can actually do some work.
As the coil resistance becomes greater, a smaller percentage of the power is wasted in the connections. At .15Ω 50% is lost... at 2Ω only 6.98% is wasted. Basically, at 40 watts and a .15Ω coil... TWENTY of those watts never get to the coil, and at 1.8Ω a little over 3 watts is lost in the system... a REALLY remarkable difference.

I guess, until you've tried a Kabuki...Taste is subjective.
I've never owned a Nautilis however, I have owned an Atlantis but not the Atlantis 2. I also have 2 Triton Tanks. However, I know folks that own all of these tanks. If you want to send me a Kabuki Tank to compare, that would be great!! The cost of the Kabuki seems kind of steep to me.
I've owned several different RTA's and clearomizers and the Triton Tank is, by far, the best tank I've ever owned. The 1.8 ohm coil had just too tight of an air flow for me. The 0.4's and 0.3's? No airflow issue at all. IMO, The 0.3 ohm coil gives the best flavor out of the three on a regulated mod at 55W. Do I go through batteries?? Sure I do. That's why I keep spares with me all day and I also keep several 25r's and VTC5's in rotation.
Again, IMO, yes. Lower resistance may very well be less efficient however, I get better flavor out of it and I don't need a chart to tell me that. I just know what works for me without doing a bunch of testing and percentage drop calculations. I get the flavor and the vapor I want and I'm happy.
Oh, and a little FYI for ya. The Triton coils are SS so, they can be TC if one wishes.
Like what?Now, why ya want to act like that first thing in the morning?

Best Reply EVA!!!
OK - THAT's a great reply!!!!
That being said, if you're happy with your vape, why even consider adding to it? That's been my philosophy for a LONG time, and it's worked perfectly for me. I get it if I want it, and only if I want it.
But I also don't travel into the threads for things I'm not interested in. Ever. No value.
Work, me, bye.
Some B&M carry the Kabuki. Perhaps you can locate one and try it? As you stated, taste is subjective and many have found the flavor from the Kabuki to be excellent. YMMV.Never said I wasn't interested. I did say, however, I thought the price was a bit steep for a tank. Will I ever get one? I don't know. That's why I'm reading this thread and looking at folks' take on the tank. The good and the bad. People give their opinion on different tanks here and so did I. Don't see why y'all have an issue with that.
Good morning! The price is a bit steep, but most all of us here think it's worth every penny. I have a few Tritons, and agree with you that the .3 coil gave (me) the best flavor. Also used a REO with you-name-it top air flow, domed attys, all with .4-.6 or so coils. Again, good flavor. But the press was uniformly positive on the Kabuki, and it was lauded by people whom I know and trust. I figured I'd try one and I was astonished at the flavor! I've discovered that I'm a lazy vaper; I want great flavor, dense vapor, and easy. The Kabuki checks all of those boxes -- and maximizes battery life. All in all, a winNever said I wasn't interested.

Of course you are entitled to express your opinion. Taste is subjective; what I think is the bee's knees may be "meh" to you. If the Triton is the answer for you, wonderful! If you are still searching for something more, the Kabuki is worth a very long look.
Bottom fill. Easy peasy, though. No needle tip required.I'm being a bit more cautious in my atomizer purchases lately. I've spent hundreds on different setups (attys) and several have been either PIF'd or sold. One think I haven't found, or I just wasn't paying attention, is it top or bottom fill?

The Kabuki uses stock Nautilus BVC coils, which are available only in 1.6 and 1.8 ohms. So, to your statement, it IS the ohms that result in longer battery life. (That didn't come out right, but you get the picture). The reason the ohms conversation came up to begin with is b/c Aspire is releasing new Triton mini coils that Zen~ says will work in the Kabuki. And those coils come in lower ohms. He believes the higher ohm Triton mini coils will produce the best flavor, for the reasons he posted. HTH!Thanks. I added a question to my previous post.
