Anybody Using A Kabuki?

[GeekyGeezer]

yeah i just requested a refund. i paid $13.

now how about where is a good place to buy my coils? last i checked provape didn't have any.
i think some one mentioned sweet vapes before. any other places?

Vape Super Saver

Everyday price is 10.49, two boxes drop to $9.99, and three or more go for $9.50 a box. Free tracked shipping for orders $20 or more. With the latest USPS price increases, that's something I'm paying a lot more attention to.

I have ordered many times. Shipping from Georgia is quick and everything is authentic. They don't have an extensive range of products nor a flashy website but it's a place I always recommend for the items they handle.

Edit: Just saw jwb's post, that sounds like a solid choice also.

Electronic Cigarette - Best Electronic Cigarette - Vapor Cigarette Aspire Nautilus BVC Coils (Pack of 5) *New Larger Wick Holes at www.evape.us

Never had a fake, always a good price, sometimes you can find a code to sweeten the deal, and free shipping over $25.00.

Buy Twenty packs and they come in a nice big Aspire box to keep things tidy.

Ditto on evape. I've bought over 100 and all check out as authentic.

How long my coils last depends on what I am vaping. I get approximately 1-3 tanks on high VG eliquids depending on the flavor profile and vendor. The highest flavor I have is 77% VG. For 50% or less VG I get quite a bit more but have never kept track. I also vape NETs that range from 30-50% VG and get anywhere from 1 to 2-1/2 tanks. NETs tend to be hard on coils regardless although I do find high VG non-NETs to be as well. As a general rule IMO I find the lighter the eliquid is the longer the coils last. I vape for flavor so once the flavor has started to drop I do change my coil whereas I probably could get a bit longer life if I wanted to.

I have purchased coils from four different vendors - Sweet Vapes, MFS, Vape Super Saver with the majority being from http://www.evape.us for over a year now. If you do try evape I suggest you create an account as he does have a loyalty program.

It is interesting how the vaping experience varies. I tried Velvet Cloud several years ago when I was using cartos (Boge and Ikenvape) and never could get a decent flavor. If I did it was for a very short time. Most recently though I am trying them again as I find the higher VG eliquids do better with the Kabuki vs. the Nautilus tank. The eliquids are steeping so have not tried them in my Kabuki yet.

the vanilla custard lasted a long my time but the others only a couple of days like the other brands. I haven't ordered any in a long time but I'll try a 30 mil in the kabuki.

Evape.us - always authentic

Mrs. Mowgli has been puffing 50/50 East Coast Tobacco for about a year on Nautilus minis.
She puffs about 1.5-2ml a day at 5.2v on a 1.8 coil and gets about 3 weeks.

I'm puffing a "1.8Ω" coil (measures 2.1-2.2Ω) in a Kabuki at 14W (5.5v) on my SX350j Boxer mod.
6mg (VG nic), 20% MBV Blue Moo flavor, 5% saline works out to 75VG
That 5% Saline gives it about a 50/50 viscosity.
Wicks well, I can chain puff it.
I'm about 15ml through it and it hasn't gotten any worse yet.

You should get some authentic Nautilus BVC coils from Evape.

I just got my stainless steel replacement tank for my Kabuki from Provape.

If anyone is on the fence about buying one of these, or if you are accident prone like me.

BUY ONE.

You'll be glad you did.

Im falling in love with this amazing little tank all over again.

I purchased the GMZ tank and one of his SS Military versions. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I like to break them coils in easy, at like 6.5-7 watts, then after a tank or so bump them up slowly as needed, till about 8 watts. They seem to settle in there for me for quite a while, and then when they are getting on I will bump them up some more to about 8.5 watts or maybe a little more to the end. I really prime them good before ever firing them, putting little drops of juice on each hole and let it soak in, then maybe two or three drops down the center, and fill the tank and let them sit for 5-10 minutes, taking a few dry puffs before firing them. I get about a week out of a coil with
60pg /40 vg tobacco flavored DIY juice.

I do almost the exact same thing as Enaud. I use a 65pg/35vg DYI juice and I get a solid 7-10 days each 1.8 coil (8.0 watts). YMMV though

thanks guys for sharing your set up.
i switched juice and drip tip and picked a non wta juice, acb from nicoticket to be exact. a 50 blend. and it's vaping smooth and decent flavor. I changed my drip tip, from a skinny one to vase style.. and it really pumped up the volume on flavor . so i'm a happy kabuki user today. i just need to pony up and order some coils now!

Does it look better when the tank is all put together? I broke my quartz tank today, have no idea how it broke. I refilled it yesterday and noticed a crack starting at the bottom of the tank. Thought about buying the stainless steel one but it's doesn't look very pretty. I wish Zen~ would make some engraved tanks that aren't specific to military/first responders/etc. If I didn't already have a Kabuki, I might opt for the D'Elegance but I'd still need a tank for the Kabuki I already have.

I had the same thing happen last week. The first tank that I have had break. Suddenly there was just a crack and juice was leaking- the day after a refill. Thought it was strange because it was not knocked over or anything.
I have had the same thoughts about the stainless tanks--don't want just a plain one but all on the site are too specific. I do have the D'Elegance and use it everyday too- I don't mind not seeing the liquid level and would like to have another stainless tank-especially to take out of the house.

I'll probably end up getting a stainless steel tank as the glass is so thin on this tank, it's bound to break. The IBTanked tanks are probably three times as thick. I don't mind not seeing the liquid level either and definitely want something more sturdy if I take it out of the house. I now see why some wanted the poly carbonate tanks.

I just received a couple of Phiniac tanks today--don't know if they will be any stronger but hope so. Haven't tried the IBTanked.

I'm trying a Spectrum tank right now. The glass is really thin on it too, though it might not be as fragile as the quartz Zen~ uses. I ordered a couple of Phiniac tanks today. Need to have backups.

the same guy i bought the cerotank from on ebay!
came in a aspire box and everything!

ok, doesn't look like it was the same seller. i thought it was when i purchased it.
atleast now i know it's not my tank. but i'm sooo peeved right now

Ladiekali, do you know who the vendor was?

I've shopped with the vendor from eBay who carried the Cerotanks MANY times, with zero probs. In fact, they would get a very high recommendation from me.

zapped! Good to see you.

The Phiniac tanks are HoH tanks, actually. If it's still the same, Phini got HoH blem tanks, and with their absolutely incredible eye for design, just basically did their magic over any imperfections with the art. It's the same authentic glass, with Phini's marvelous work on it. I have several, as does DPL. I'd say we'd agree that we LOVE them!!

You jogged my memory about the HOH/Phini tanks. I remember Zen~ mentioning it now. The dolphins are really cute. I'd be crying if I broke one.

Edit #2: I was getting ready to make an order and see that Tom has lowered the prices. What's now showing is $9.99, $9.49, and $9.25.

Glass, it doth break. That, we know.

What was the old expression? Don't cry over broken milk?

I FINALLY BROKE ONE!!! I was feeling SO almost-inadequate, but I finally did it!

Phwew. I was beginning to think something was wrong with me.

[emoji15]

I can't say I'm deserving of any praise though, because I barely touched it. But one BIG OLD PIECE just POPPED right off!

It was kinda cool.

Too bad it was one that I REALLY liked. The newest of the lot, and gift from from KD. For THAT part, I am sad. [emoji17]
