Coil life need to be in mls consumed not days used. In my world, the amount of liquid used per coil will probably not be the same as yours. On average, I get about 35mls through one coil. Now, if I'm vaping one of my ÀDV or a new DIY and vape that steady...that coil will only last 3 days maybe. I have 3 tanks going every day and refill each of them once in the middle of the day. So if they hold 2.5mls = is 15ml a day at 9 to 12mg nic.
I have one tank with unflavored 12mg - that coil has been in there a month. I only vape it occasionally and its less evasive to the coil than my other DIY.

I was thinking tighten up the draw, but I guess the question I should have asked was if dry hits are a sympton of a coil needing to be changed. The first coil was loaded with ripe vines vct. I got the whole 30 mils through it and figured I'd change the coil because the flavor had dropped off and it just felt like it was time. That coil lasted 4 days, I'm good with that. I'm on day three with this new juice, and figured it would 3 days max since it's a darker net. The thing is, it just felt like it was getting right, I mean hitting good, then I refilied the tank, hit it and good god!
Ok...so it's not in the chimney
It's in the base, 2 new coils tried, they will just start to tighten and then spin more. When the whole thing gets put together, it's wobbling.
Are these coils that hit and miss ?
I put the old coil back in and all is fine stability wise.
I took that screw out within moments of getting my Kabuki. Just cant stand a tight draw no matter what.
Note 5!!!
To remove the glass from the tank just lightly wiggle it back and forth. Tip for the day, enjoy.
Thanks for that, I guess it isn't an airflow issue. I'm used to coils from the evods just getting nasty or cartos getting that super tight draw when they were done. Flavor has gone in this coil and still getting a dry hit if I chain vape. The thing is it's still got the same draw and hitting good, just bad flavor. Well between 2 to 4 days on a coil will work, now that I know I can adjust my monthly budget. On another note, ended up ordering a Provari Classic and another Kabuki, can't wait for it to get here.
Had this problem several times. To date, it has always been a quality control issue with the coil manufacturer.
Thanks for the input. I was hoping Provape was P3 topping the GMZ, so I could get the Gun Metal Kabuki on top, but no go. But it also seems that the Gun Metal kabukis are not Zenkote... So, 2.5 satin with a P3 top and a SS kabuki, here I come.
The GMZ Kabuki isn't zenkote? I know the finish isn't *exactly* like my GMZ mini, but still looks great.
Sounds like the coil has just hit the end of it's life to me. Flavor drop off is the major indicator that I get. That and they start tasting "off" and the vapor production drops off. I only use tobacco flavors, mostly Hangsen and Inawera in my DIY's, and sometimes some tobacco absolute or NETs. The TA and NETs kill coils pretty quick for me, so I'll go back and forth between flavored, and unflavored to get more life out of them. If I really need longevity from my coils I run strait unflavored 65pg/35vg 6nic in the Kabuki and at the end of 5 days to a week they are toast.
I start out using lower settings to break these coils in, and very gradually bring it up, but admittedly, I tend to run at the lower wattage than I read a lot of folks are at. Like 7.5-8.5 watts through the life of the coil. Any higher than that and to me the flavor starts to taste burnt. YMMV. At two bucks or less a pop, and my juice costing pennies per day, I can live with the cost of the Nautilus coils.
Seems to me that someone at ProVape didn't proofread their copy on the GunMetal Kabuki's.
The descriptions of "stealth" finish and "gunmetal" are nearly identical, though the finishes certainly are not.

I usually like a medium/tight draw, but I've been using 90% vg juice in the Kabuki and removed the screw.
Odd, as I have had e-juice here at 36mg-24mg-12mg-6mg-and now 3mg. If a good supplier, mixes the flavors for the mg, there should be NO drop in flavor. I know there sure isn't from Vape Wild and ITC, and they are not outright premium High Dollar Juices.
But their quality is absolutely first rate! Particularly Vape Wild!!!
Knife
I assumed it was considering the much higher price tag. Is the Zenkote as fragile as the the finish he uses on the stealth kabuki's?
