Here's your answer:




That being said, so to speak, I believe that the 510 uses a different size o-ring? so to differentiate between the two, you may need to compare O-rings, or test fit a glass piece onto the different parts to see if you can detect any difference...
Quite possibly I could also be totally off base with this, memory being what it is...

Thanks for the reply. While I was afraid there was going to be a minor difference I will admit I'm happy it doesn't seem like such the stupid question I first thought!

OK also received my rba for nautilus, can confirm it won't fit the Kabuki, maybe if I shorten the chimney...but no way I am doing that LOL (maybe get a clone to molest :), but it does fit the nautilus....have not build on it yet, the build deck is very very tiny....I think I'll give it a go on the Nauti and then it goes into the vapocalypse pile :D
The P3 Nautilus or the 510 Nautilus? I know the glass for my P3 Nautilus won't work with the 510 Nautilus or vice versa.

How are they different?

Thanks, Jim
Size of the glass tank is longer on the P3 Nautilus. My daughter dropped it and busted the glass. Fortunately I had a second one. I bought a replacement tank for it, but found out it was for the 510 Nautilus - it was quite a bit (relatively speaking) shorter...you wouldn't happen to know where I get a replacement glass for the P3 or if someone needs a replacement base for their P3 Nautilus?

But, doesn't list them a different?

Confused, Jim

While I can understand the tango (Dances with Fishes) - what are castanets? Something to do with fishing? I prefer a cane/bamboo pole.

I suppose you could cast a net into the sea, but considering you are swimming to Spain I thought on the way you could familiarize yourself with their culture.

In a pinch you could probably use oysters...

 
Ok, Clapton coil (Triton Mini) arrived today :cool: Exactly the same size and shape as the Nautilus coils, so directly compatible.

I only have one Kabuki so couldn't do a direct comparison but I soaked the Clapton coil then swapped out the coil from the Kabuki. I'm presently vaping a home made Lemon Torrone Parfait which is a complicated recipe (3% lemon, 2% torrone, 2% custard, 1% merigue, all FA).

The Clapton measures at 1.49ohms vs 1.95ohms with the nautilus coil. I run the Nautilus coil at 9 watts, so reduced the wattage to 8.5 watts with the Clapton to account for the change in Ohms. (I think that's the right way to do it? maybe I should have increased the watts?)

Initial reaction: Increase in flavour (maybe 10% increase? Very Subjective), but it also changes the taste - Clapton brings the custard notes more forward and puts the lemon further back.

However, it's still a new coil so hasn't broken in yet. The taste balance might improve once the coil is broken in?

And just because I can, here's probably the first photo ever of a Triton Mini on a P3 :p

Yeah - uh No. I have absolutely zero musical talent (but I can listen decently). I can't even play the kazoo :(.

Why are there two different Kabuki Orings listed on the HoH Site?

Does anybody know what the differences are?

Thanks, Jim
I'll know later today :)
I don't remember Zen ever telling why they are different :

The 510 Kabukis are tighter than the P3... long story...
Robino, If your tank is REALLY tight it could be a piece of glass that is out of spec... one thing to try, take the tank apart and flip it over to see if the bottom loosens up, sometimes the folks doing the flame polishing on the glass get a bit aggressive and make too big of a "bead" on the edge. I'd gladly send you a replacement glass to give it a try.

Straight into the freezer, wrapped in a sock (to further keep out the light, and to keep anyone who may be rummaging around away).

ETA: Asked and answered, I see :)

Why the sock? All newer freezers turn out the little light when the door closes, leaving everything in the dark; or, don't you believe that factoid?

Got mine this morning too, clapton coil reads 1.8ohm. Couldn't get it to work at all on my 510 - the pin in the bottom of the coil stuck in the base of the kabuki and the rest of the coil came out stuck in the chimney. Looks as if the bottom pin is a bit wider on the triton coil which is causing the problem. (Only tried one coil). Also couldn't get a connection with my oldest P3 kabuki but did with my newest. I'm not sure if that's because my newer one has a deeper base (did zen drill all newer ones deeper after the problems some people had getting coils to connect?) Again haven't done much fiddling or tried more than one coil - so it may be I'll be able to get the older kabuki base to work with a different coil.

Mine arrived today as well, screwed it into a P3 Kabuki, it reads 1.6 ohms on my Radius. I'm currently running it at 15 watts. I think flavour might be improved, somehow cleaner, but it still needs some bedding in. At the very least it gives us three new coil options which can only be a good thing. I'd be interested to know what the Kanthal coil is like, it seems to be designed to run at higher wattages than the Clapton.
