Anybody Using A Kabuki?

[DPLongo22]

Beware, split a Phiniac right out of the box. They can be very fragile depending on your o-rings. I have to date, never broken a stock tube.

My three Phiniac tanks have been great. Two withstood being dropped (both times I thought they were goners)...

You drop your expensive attys? Wow. Can vape gear be covered by homeowners?

I am Very meticulous when I refill or maintain me Kabooks. I can feel by the tension between the glass and the o-ring if there are likely to be problems. And I would personally like to thank you for the curse. Cracked an IBTanked custom today while cleaning. And the IBT folks have basically given up the ghost I'm told so I'm not optimistic on buying a replacement anytime soon. This thread is jinxed! I'm leaving and I want to bite someone. Hard.

Well, I don't launch them for scientific research, but yeah - twice I've thwacked a Kabuki (that does NOT sound good!). They're off the Provi's now, permanently, and will reside solely on box mods forevermore. They are safe there.

I break stuff (queue Freddy Durst).

I'm truly sorry to hear this, Jim, and also sorry that you feel we've somehow jinxed you. But about this "biting" thing...

Mostly sorry though to hear about IBTanked. The times they are a-changin' (queue Bobby Zimmerman).

As would I. I would not hesitate, if.



I am in no way desirous of comparing the Naughty tanks to the Kaboook. I am only thinking about the design factor as pertains to drop in koils.

I do not find a difference in the taste or volume of vapor between the Naughty and the Mini Naughty. (Sorry, JUMA)

Kat, I really cannot tell either between the big Nautilus and the Mini. But when I was using both, and they were filled with the same juice, I'd pick up the Mini every time. Now I can tell the difference between the P3 Nautilus and the Kabuki.

 

[JUMA55]

Have they made a Stealth metal tank for the Stealth Kabuki yet?

HB, I don't think so. I'm using the gunmetal tank on my Stealth, along with a Round Midnight Matilda drip tip. I don't think it looks too bad. (Those aren't scratches. It's the spot light.)

That's because the Naughty Mini is just too cute!

Please don't encourage them.



And I couldn't help that you're sporting an A-Rod Jersey, of sorts, yet you hail from Springfield(ish). Your house must get egged a lot, no?

Are you talking bout me?

Mind a used one?

(ripped off from a certain Longo) (it's true. alden has the video)





Here, this one's clean. I know it looks the same but that's because I klowned them.

fine. I'll take it if that's the best offer.

 

[Katdarling]

LOL!

An offah. He can't refuse, eh?

Fugghedaboudid!

I've played that. That's-a one tasty little game. Ah.

 

[ENAUD]

I wasn't trying to do that, HB, but your last line is no different than what I feel. I was just saying that I'd like the opportunity to TRY a larger one, and do my own comparison. And I don't want it for free, but would have been willing to pay for it.

I know it's not happening, as you clearly stated, but I can still openly state that I'd pay for it. Zen once said that I gave up too easily, back when I was lobbying for a 510 threaded GMZ Kabuki (that wasn't going to happen either). So, I began lobbying again.

Lo & behold, I am now the proud owner of a 510 threaded GMZ Kabuki (thank you, Zen!!).

So yeah, I'm not dreamin', but I'm not giving up either. Not yet, anyway.

Keep on lobbying DP I for one would be so on board for a larger capacity Kabuki. I'll be honest here, I recently went on a little trip, and lo and behold, I had a choice. It was between the caged Nauti tank and my beloved Kabuki. Day two of the trip I bagged the Kabuki in favor of the increased capacity of the caged Nauti tank. Now I am truly torn. I prefer the vape of the Kabuki, but in my real world needs the capacity of the Nauti tank wins out...I guess I'll be either punching larger hole in the Nauti base, or removing the AFC ring. My Kabuki's are going to remain as stay at home tanks from now on. They just don't work in the real world for me and my needs...

If going mobile for more than 6 hours or so, I take a, "U-Can" (SS juice holder/dispenser) in case I need a refill. Holds 10mls. I carry it in my watch pocket with a 18650 w/silicone battery sleeve if going for more than a day.

 

[ScandaLeX]

I'm sorry, but did you say, "One or two"? One or two WHAT (please clarify because I KNOW there's a trailing descriptor).

...hundred? ...thousand?

And I'm guessing you and I wouldn't be the only two, JUMA.

If a Kayfun can do it at 4.5ml, and an Erl can do it at 6ml, then I believe The Great & Powerful Zen could do it at LEAST as well.

Are we talking larger capacity tanks without loosing flavor??? I thought Zen said he'd never make a larger Kabuki cause it looses flavor.

Note 5!!!

 

[ScandaLeX]

I had to re-read this because I thought I was imagining it.

Truth, HB? I'm not dreaming of it. Actually, I rarely think about it.. Unless I'm here, where the topic is Kabuki.

That being said, I'd pay for a 4-5ml Kabuki, but that's about it. Ti won't grab me, gold wouldn't grab me, nor would pretty much any material.

I was simply posting my opinion that I, and apparently I'm alone on an island here, would like to buy & try a larger version. The 2ml one simply is too small for it be functional as anything other than a house tank (for me).

So, no. I won't keep dreaming. I'll just continue enjoy these little ones as I've been doing.

You're definitely not alone as quite a few people have said the same thing.

Personally I'm starting to really dig smaller capacity tanks. Having several in rotation at a time, it takes me forever to get thru a 5 ml.

Note 5!!!

Yes, I'm familiar with the game (thanks).

I was referring to your name though. New York 13 is Alex Rodriguez' jersey number. Bad assumption on my part - please disregard.

Exactly, E. I know I can take juice out with me, but I don't want to (and won't). Plus, not for nothing, filling the dayum things is no picnic. LOVE the tank, but let's not lie to ourselves here...

As of this moment, Mr. @ENAUD , we are aligned (as is so often the case). Kabuki for house, Nauti for O&A.

I know this isn't directed to me, but +1! Love the tank; love the flavor. LOVE. But the 'buki's rarely travel.

It was a general comments, Ms. Birdy, and I'm ALWAYS interested in hearing opinions (many of which will surely follow).

But yeah - it's a tough "out" tank for many of us. That's just reality. Bump that bad boy up though, and that would change things. I'm just not 100% convinced it would do all that much damage to the flavor, knowing that any differences between the Nauti sizes are minimal (if at all).

I'd be willing to pay for the privilege of researching (and chancing) it.
