Thanks a lot for the advice all.

If I'm honest like jwbnyc said the one thing I haven't considered is the nauti head its self. I haven't had them for very long and I'm still on the first coil in the 510 version.
Try another one?

Keep the first though.

Also take a flashlight and have a look when you are in there.

After you fill the tank and go to put the bottom back on does the glass thread in or just sit on the base? It keeps spinning
The coil should thread into the chimney. The glass tank is held by O-rings, but mine are tight enough that they don't spin...

Not sure if my coil is threading into the chimney properly, i can turn it forever and it doesn't seem to catch on any threads and i can just pull the top half of the tank off without unscrewing it. I'm so confused. I mean it works but I just can't seem to screw the base on -shrugs-

Just a quick question - are you trying to screw the coil in, gripping the glass, or are you holding the base. Zen~ indicated, after filling the tank, attach the base and turn it backwards until you hear a click. Astroturf linked the video - here is the link.

Shhhh its a secret. ;)
Im sure I saw the answer somewhere in the 215 pages of this post... but I dont want to go thru them to find it.

Are these tanks clean and ready to go or do you guys rinse them out before?

I know other tanks (KANGER) I have used have machine oil residue but I think I read that the Kabukis have been cleaned and are ready to go.

They are cleaned and ready to go, though it's probably a good idea to wash it just to make sure. I didn't wash mine and no machine oil taste.

Everything I have ever bought from HOH has always been clean.... Never had to scrub the China off anything made by Zen

They are clean and ready for liquid!

(don't forget to lube the o rings the first time and use whatever your preferred method is for priming the coil.)

Enjoy


Does that mean I need to take it a part and lube them and reassemble it?

Or just lube the o ring on the bottom side?

I would only recommend following the disassembly video the Zen produced.

Don't introduce any unneeded problems.

No you don't have to remove both. I didn't lube my top one until I removed to change to a decorated glass. I only did the top one to make it easier to replace the top cap with the new glass.

These are often tight first time, but do tend to loosen with use. The lube just makes it a lot easier.

The Zen video is great for opening the first time, or first several times. YMMV

I was just going to let the kabuki set for 30 min or so... do I need to put some drops down inside the coil to prime it further before first use?

People do re-build the Nautilus coils.

I would not be one of them.

But it can be done.
I'm still awaiting my Kabuki, and I doubt I'll want to rebuild these coils, but I wasn't aware that people have.
Can you point me somewhere where this is described?
