May I suggest you get verified by ECF and put it up for sale in the classifieds section.

Or, send it to HOH, get given a replacement and give it one more go.

No one atty system is right for everyone.

I haven't given up yet, hopefully it is just a bad run of coils. It happens.

Has anybody used the new Triton 2 Mini coils for their Kabuki? The new Triton Mini uses nautilus style coils, and come in more options then the BVCs

Smart move by Aspire making uniform coils. Not sure if it's actually out yet (the coils or mini triton) here's more info:

Interested to know what the verdict on these coils is also . .

They do not work as received. The contact pin is larger than on the Nautilus coil and it can't be threaded far enough into the base to make contact with the mod. My next experiment will be to swap the pin from a Nautilus into the Triton Mini. Others in this thread mentioned that it works.

I'm not crazy about sacrificing a perfectly good coil so the test will have to wait until I have a Kabuki that needs a change.

I really want one, not sure if I can get them shipped to Canada or not but I think I'll look into that .. I would be happy with a metal one in black even. It would probably look better that way on the Stealth. Might have to settle for one of those black mini ionizer ones if I can get that shipped here. Just using a Subtank tip now and it looks slightly better than the stock one did.

Looks very similar to the one that shipped with the Russian a few years back. Base may be a lil different though, cant tell from camera angle. Might be an option though if yer usual shops carry replacement parts/original drip tips for that tank.

That's a bummer. I wonder if they work in the nautilus mini?

I ordered 10 of them without thinking twice & now I can't use them [emoji23]. Might just pick up a Triton 2 Mini lol


EDIT: Juice has been leaking out the bottom of my Kabuki & getting on my pin. I paid a lot for the mod, so this is the last thing I want happening. Any tips to clean the base? Also, any tips to avoid the leaking? It's killing me.

If you have polarized sunglasses they make machine oil stand out. After several cleanings I could still see it. The taste went away but took two months of vaping to not be able to see it.


WOW...Scary ....

Ill be carefully washing out my new tanks from now on ;)

@OddaKine someone else had the issue and they would screw the coil all the way in and then dial it back a tiny bit. So it's in snug but not at the tightest possible and that fixed it for them. This is what i do now too. Tighten it till i can't tighten no more then ease it back a wee smidge.

Other than that maybe a wonky coil...

They work fine in the P3 base. I have 10 new BVC coils i can trade you if you want.

I feel it happens alot less with the kabuki than with other tanks .

Sometimes some of my Mini-Nauti's had drops of hot liquid dripping out of the airflow holes onto my lap or my desk (just "drops" but still....

I find that most tanks end up leaking a tiny bit every once & while depending on the juice and how much youre chain-vaping,the kabuki hardly does, but still, every few times I refill I make the effort to unscrew the coil and shove a twisted up kleenex in there to sop up any extra liquid and every few times I take off the whole tank to wipe down the 510/mod connection.

To be honest I hardly ever find anything with my Kabukis, but the P3 kabuki never leaks anything EVER -not even a drop- that worried me alot at first,I was very concerned about my P3 mod,didnt have to be ;) !!!

Sigh. So i knocked both tubes over on the side table which is fake wood. Anyways, felt like there was a tiny crack on each tank. Luckily i have 2 spare polycarb and 2 glass, trying the poly.

I still have the suspect ones, of course once i took them off i couldn't feel the cracks but i always heard that glass can be real deceptive that way.

Anyways sigh. Nice things, can't have..

I feel you, everyone keeps nudging my coffee table and it goes flop. I've got in the habit of sitting it down against something for support. They should include a little base for it to stand on.

Not sure if this has been answered, I didn't see it if it was, but why is the Kabuki P3 smaller than the Provari P3? I know it's a very small difference, just looks sloppy. (Mine are both Stealth editions, are the other ones like that too)?
Most attys are 22mm, the Provi is bigger, as are most mods.

It is pretty apparent. Seeing as how ProVape has the only P3 connectors it doesn't make any sense. Sloppy is the word.
