Anybody Using A Kabuki?

[Jim-]

Thanks for the epic read, gang! I finally made it through all 320 pages and am eagerly awaiting the release of the Kabuki Ti. I'll probably keep my eye on the classifieds in the meantime. Your knowledge and, more importantly, sense of humor is greatly appreciated!

Now who has more Kabuki porn to share?

A hand polished SS 510 Kabuki with custom USCG Phiniac tube. Sadly, that glass tube fell on the field of battle. A GMZ metal tube was the replacement part. I miss that one

Hi Alden!

Here's a couple

I don't want to say that I haven't broken my (original) Kabuki glasses.
But, I haven't.
Which culture was it, I can't recall, maybe Russian or Greek or Jewish (too lazy to look it up), who after a wedding toast threw the champagne glasses onto the floor, and if they broke, it was good luck for the newlyweds.
Ready? All together now.

In the Jewish faith, the groom and fiance drink from the same glass, wrap the glass in a linen napkin and the groom stomps on the glass to symbolize the union of the couple.

The Greeks like to break their glasses and dishes. I guess it comes from too much ouzo.

I am absolutely and honestly impressed, Alden. Perseverance personified. [emoji106]

Ha! If you see me on a thread, I have read it! Maybe that controls my post count!

The whole thing(s)?.

Wow... Hat's off to you guys (not kidding)..

Though, people should really start refusing to buy 510 stuff so the market will evolve into something better.

If I refuse to buy a Kabuki will you then make a 5ml Kabuki? There's a market for a 5ml Kabuki as I'm sure you know.

If I had the money I'd commission another batch of P3 Nautilus's and make lots of profit selling them because there's still a big demand for them. Sadly I don't have the money and for some reason Provape or Aspire won't make any more. So I'm stuck with the 510 Nautilus for my large tanks. Me not buying another isn't going to make them manufacture a P3 batch . . . If only I'd started vaping 6 months earlier I'd have been able to buy a few P3 Nautilus's. As it is, I've only got one Not much use when I've got 4 juices on the go at the same time.

Sure there's a market for it.
But the amount of testing and engineering that went into the Kabuki, led Zen to the design that was released.
He created the Kabuki to unleash the full potential of the Nautilus coils...things like tank capacity have a real effect on how coils perform.
I mean, don't ask me how THAT works, cuz I'll just give you a blank stare and pick my nose.
But I can tell you one thing...go check out the Kayfun Mini v3 thread and listen to the fans rant and rave over the performance of that small 2-2.5ml(?) tank.
Or the fans of the earlier Mini Kayfuns. They have a cult following.
There's something about small tanks that make the coils work better.
Sure it depends on a lot of factors, but we can all be assured that Zen went through every possible option...which included a larger tank. He's a wizard. He created the Kabuki from scratch, and analyzed every possible formula, to achieve the best results possible.
In closing, I think my point can be summed up in one sentence:
@Zen~ didn't arrive at the current design of the Kabuki by accident.

P.S. And sorry Chuff/Ali...that's not to kick your desires in the head. Believe me...I would like to refill my tank less often too. But I won't trade frequent refills for performance. If my Kabuki worked at any level lower than it does, I would have sold it by now.

Zen said somewhere that he started out with a 5 or 6 ml version and had lots of issues with wicking and flavor loss. There is a real delicate balance between wicking, airflow and flavor when it comes to tanks. Drippers are a different animal.

Beautiful!!!!
What mod is this?

Beautiful!!!!
What mod is this?

I do believe that is a DNA200 Boxer, available pre-built or in kit form and 133W or 200W configs. Also available with YiHi SX350J-V2 chipset @ 150W.

Not DNA.

I have three SX350j Boxer mods, a SX350j Renegade X and an SX Mini M (SX350j). All work flawlessly.
The Boxer is 3D printed and as light as a mod can be.
A Boxer loaded with two 18650s and wearing a full Crown tank weighs less than a P2.5 loaded in 18490 mode without a topper.

I'm dying to know how painful this is going to be... as in how much it is going to cost me.

I'm wondering if the design of the Kabuki, and the amazing end result holds true for other tanks. Do you notice a difference, say, between the Nautilus and the Naughty Mini?

 

[k2zs]

Hi @Katdarling ,

Other than the fact that the Nautilus mini has reduced air flow over the full sized, I doubt if you'd notice much change in flavor or performance. They each still utilize a hollow atty base/chamber for their air intake.

The secret of the Kabuki is it's reduced air chamber surrounding the coils base. For the sake of science, take a round toothpick sometime and stick it into the air intake of the Kabuki. You'll see that it doesn't point directly at the coil but rather points into the edge if the air chamber. This creates a cyclonic air pattern that follows the edge of the chamber so it surrounds the coils air intakes. Not sure what magic that performs, but it sure does work

 

[Katdarling]

Brilliant, k2! It's a Dyson!

And actually, my statement did not reflect my thoughts accurately. I didn't mean any sort of comparison of the 'Buki to a Nautilus but more the comparison of a more flavorful or better performing tank based on capacity.

I think you've explained this abstolutely perfectly.

And thank you!
