Sometimes, just sometimes, good jokes are wasted on bad people, or, good people at the wrong time...and all you can do is laugh and laugh and laugh (on the inside)

What if I cry on the inside? Like, a lot?

You say it's not the juice, but I'd like to ask you what the PG/VG ratio is? If you are running Max VG you might try a couple drops if distilled water water in a tank with your next fill.
All my juice is mixed 50/50 PG VG, and I use a light coloured non sweet tobacco concentrate as my everyday Vape.

My current triton mini coil is into its third tank of juice now and no burnt flavour, so I'm still guessing I got a bad batch of nautilus BVC's

I'll try the other suggestions made in various posts, but I think the day my Kayfun 5 arrives will be the day I retire the kabuki to light occasional duty on my Kanger Kbox for random weekly puffs of my fruit flavours...or maybe just sell it to recoup a few $$ :)

Try curled up in the fetal position in a bathtub with the shower on. Works for me. :cry:

Kayfun 5 arrived today. Finished coiling and wicking it about an hour ago. (.6ohm coil running at 15 watts currently)
Been vaping on it for about 30 mins and straight up the exact same juice I've been using daily in my kabuki tastes noticeably better.
Not a vast improvement, but a very noticeable amount better...an improvement I never had in flavour moving from my cheap and cheerful Kanger top tank mini to the kabuki.

No obvious improvement in build quality over the kabuki.

It looks just as awesome on my Procyon as the kabuki.

I'll possibly need to fine tune the wicking adjustment over the next day or so to suit my juice viscosity, but right off the bat it's working fabulously.

Very VERY happy right now, and will update any problems like the burnt flavour I was getting with the kabuki...but at a couple of cents per rewick/recoil compared to $3+ AUS per aspire coil for the kabuki I simply don't care as I already own enough kanthal wire and cotton wick for several years...which cost in total about the same as a couple of aspire 5 pack nautilus BVC coils which have only been lasting a few days max each.

And being a natural tinkerer I love recoiling/rewicking a rebuildable atomiser. Only takes me 15 mins tops and is very therapeutic lol

I like beer! Does that count?
All joking aside, beer is a depressant, so if one were 'crying on the inside', it would not be my first choice - Xanax, on the other hand, is great for those once in a while blues.

I've always wondered why depressed people gravitate towards readily available booze to self-medicate. It just exaggerates the depressed feelings.

It also makes for some pretty good country songs!!!

I've been conducting an experiment over the last couple of weeks. Kabuki on one Radius and Calix on the other - built a 1.6 Ohm coil with Japanese cotton for the Calix. Same eJuice (Provape Gold Rush Tobacco), both at 10 Watts, no Boost.

The Calix wins hands down across the board (IMHO) - great consistent cleaner flavour with an easier draw, and larger, top fill capacity. Small loss of convenience with plug-in coils for the Kabuki, which has a tighter draw, even wide open, and a more muted flavour.
