Anybody Using A Kabuki?

Got some more great mail today and now my Kabuki D'Elegance has a home.

Ya Know... I look at this pic and wonder whether the durable finish of the Provi Gunmetal could be brushed to match?

Great Pic!!!

Actually, in hand the difference between the two finishes is really negligible. The camera is making it look like there is bigger difference than there is. Your eyes don't really see it unless your looking for it.

No need to let it sit over night. Put your finger over the air hole and draw lightly, a small amount. This will saturate your coil in under a minute!

Blow back thru the air hole to clear any flooding. It will put the liquid on top of the cotton.
Don't flow thru the tip thru the coil, as this will cause a capillary action and start draining some of the tank thru the air hole.

I do indeed do the sucking thing with the air hole covered quite vigorously and often watch a bubble or two rise. But I still have to let it sit overnight. Somebody here on ECF said you have to take it very slowly with higher VG juices with the Nauti coils.

Svoemesto makes p3 bases for their tanks and rumor has it the new tank will have a p3 connector too. Zen is also making a p3-510 adapter so I expect the 510 kabuki may go away when that comes out.

Yes I have a P3 KF4. But it seems to stand even taller on my P3 than the 510 KF4 with the 510 rings on the P3 would. The base of the P3 KF4 is huge! But off course the connection is more secure.....

I love my ZNA

Just wish I could get hold of one. Nobody stocks them here in the UK anymore and I don't want a clone.

Yes, it's a fantastic tank...I have 3 Kabukis.
It's not the Kabuki...it's the coils.


sigh...never mind.
I am buying the nautilus anyway to test to see of the coils that just spin are salvageable in something else. I hate seeing them being a total loss.

It's not the Kabukis.

My cousin had a similar experience and I had not had any problems with mine so we dug a little deeper. She ordered her coils at a place that was having a sale. Turns out she actually ordered the Nautilus coils but they made the mistake of sending her the other BVC coils that clearly do not fit the Nautilus or the Mini Nautilus. We finally got to the bottom of the problem when she took a picture of the box, not the coil because they do look the same. If you have the Nautilus BVC coils it wil be clearly marked as that one. The other box just says BVC coils. It is confusing if you are not very familiar with the tank.

Maybe check your boxes or take a picture of the box and post it here and I can look at it like I did her's.

I have 4 Kabukis and haven't had a single coil problem in three months- I think it is unusual for you to have that many from one batch.

I am going to bet that ^^^^^^right there is the problem.

 

[jwbnyc]

help please...
So, all these replacement heads that I have that won't "fit" in the Kabuki...I am guessing that they would still work in a Nautilus or a mini Nautilus ? (and where would I get one ? )

Can you take a picture of one of the coils that isn't screwing in and post it?

This one?

I absolutely LOVE the Kabuki.

My only complaint would be with the glass. Ive broken it twice now. I wish it was possible to offer a thicker annealed pyrex for klutzes like me.

*and before someone suggests vape bands, youre not actually supposed to put them on the glass because if you drop it the vibration can still cause it to shatter. Vape bands are supposed to go on the metal, plastic, delrin, top and bottoms of tanks....and theres no room for that on the Kabuki...or my Lemo either for that matter because it covers the air holes.

Have you tried the plastic tank yet?

Good to see you by the way!

Thanks for the info! After reading your post, look where I put mine - there's room for it. It looks silly but I don't care, I'm not leaving it there. Besides, when I go mobile, I use a SS tank.

I didn't buy the VapeBand for protection anyway. I bought it for decoration and the novelty of it. Now, I wish it would just snap and go away. I know, I know, "Just stop using it!" But I'm one of those guys that like's using up his equipment. I say that and, because of the Kabuki, have about 1/2 dozen Nautilus' put away... and because of the P3, have a couple of V2's for spares...

I have a friend who, every time a mod blows someone's face off or explodes in their pocket, emails me the article and tells me to stock up on Band-Aids. I used to (now I don't even bother) email him back, "We use ProVari's."

Assuming everyone in the room has equal hearing at the same level we answer "us too!!!".

I sucked gallons of 12 and 18mg through a tootle puffer over the years. Lite up a cigarette right after to.

The day I hit a subohm at 6mg was the last day I smoked.

I don't understand how anyone could quit smoking with a TP but I'm happy for them it worked. And I expect the same.

I tootle with a Halo Triton, and it is the only tootle that got me away fdom picking up a cigarette. Other tootles i tried just didnt cut it. Now i switch between my Triton and my Provari with a nautilus tank and i am good. I do have a couple of sub ohm tanks, but either i am still not doing the direct lung hits right or its just not enough flavor for me! I hate having stuff lying around that doesnt get used, you know?

Waiting for my kabuki 510 to arrive. Sounds like i might need a metal tank from what i am reading. I have a few nautilus tanks, and also from what i read their coils will fit in my kabuki?

Yes... Nautilus Coils work.
