Anybody Using A Kabuki?

[Peter_C]

But it would be nice to try (1) one just for grins and giggles. Wonder if/where you can buy one at?

IDK, The Triton coils work for me on every Kabuki tank that I have, except for one, which I guess was a 1.0 instead of a 1.5 version, which I sent back to HOH and they sent me a new one. The Triton coils are a bit different, I tried them, then ended up stocking up on the BVC coils for Vapocalypse.

I just found that the Serpent mini tank was a lot more usable if being super-portable and compact + being able to run claptons or whatever else, on an easy to build deck, was important. They're like $15 from China. On the Kabuki my experience was the same as @GeekyGeezer, high VG juice just fries the Tritons pretty fast and it's not an awesome combination. With high PG/low VG, on the Kabuki, the BVC coils Just Work, much better.

Opinions are subjective, your milage may vary, some settling does occur during shipping, the package is half-full, not half-empty, think positive thoughts, and all that ;-)

Triton mini coils fit perfectly on my kabukis.I bought 10 packs of the triton mini coils , they always read 1.7 for me on my p3/kabuki setup. Much better vape and they seem to last a day or 2 longer and produce a little more vapor at my usual 9watts than the bvc coils. Nautilus coils usually read 1.8-1.9 for me.

G'day fellow ECF'ers and apologies for my epically s l o w reply

A quick update before I read through the latest replies since I posted my conundrum.

Been driving all over inland Queensland Australia for a few weeks and have encountered reeeeally spotty mobile reception so I just gave up trying to log in..and decided to just have fun instead so I turned off my phone

I arrived home yesty arvo covered in brown tanned skin and a new lease on life.

Managed to get through the rest of the road trip with my trusty Radius/Kayfun 5 and no back up tank lol

I'll be more prepared next time

Starting to read through all the replies in this thread now..brb....

VERY nice, Phil. Who CARES about the Kabuki, just by the way. Grab yourself a "Whatever" tank and focus on the important things.

Congrats, ENJOY, and cheers!

G'day Dave
Couldn't find a shop on the road to buy a whatever tank, so I just made sure to be particularly careful with my Kayfun for the rest of the trip.

He is, can't you tell???

G'day Peter. Yes I was Very concerned for a few days, but I managed to lower my stress levels overall and just went with the flow for the remainder of the trip

LOL! Blokey found a TOP chick! (what does that MEAN?)

Welcome back, and hope your tank troubles are like soooooooooo yesterday.

Hiya Kat. I've missed your posts/humour.
Alison is a Top chick/Great Gal.
And she has a wicked sense of humour much like yours mate. I think you'd both get along great

I did a google search for "top chicks".

As E would say " I went down a rabbit hole".

And it was good.

I can only imagine mate

You're all warped !

We Are!
And it's wonderful LOL

As I managed to get home without needing to get a replacement glass for my kabuki I have just been searching up options.
Locally here in AUS is a genuine for $25 + shipping ...which I obviously baulked at.

So just placed an order for a 5 pack for $11 AUS delivered from fasttech

Or buy a plexi glass one time and never worry again?

Went into my local shop today and asked the young lady behind the counter to relay a request to the owner, who is a pretty cool guy. I simply asked if he would special order a full brick of Nautilus coils for me at a special, best deal price. Even said I would pre-pay for them, but that I do know the wholesale cost and want him to make a profit, and that this is a sale that otherwise wouldn't happen. I'm really curious as to what the answer will be, and either way, it's no skin off my back either way. If he hits my pre determined mark, he will have a sale. If not, then that will be that. It's fun to dicker a deal sometimes, just for fun...

You'll keep us posted, I Sherlock? Just ...... for fun.

Blokey, soooooooooo nice to have you back in town, kiddo. You round out this wonderful thread.

I did the same a few months ago but forgot to follow up.

Be interesting to see if they are as cheap by the "crate" (24 boxes?) as the $5-6/box sales we have seen previously. I doubt there is a ton of margin in these coils in the $5-7 range. Even FT is just under $8.

I have managed to find Aspire (and Kanger) coils for $5-ish, but never in big quantities. I just want to grab 20-40 boxes for my wife and be done with it.

From what I have read / been told 5$ a box they are loosing money on the sale = loss leader, something sold at cost or slightly below to get you in the door and hope you buy other things. 7$ = they ain't making much...pennies on the dollar, only viable for high traffic large volume low overhead internet shop. I'd be happy if he says 8-9$ per box, I might even bite at 10...no tax, it's going to be a cash deal so I'll probably go back tomorrow and inquire about it. 2 Cnotes for two years worth of coils is Sunday school candy money compared to smoking the real deals.

 

[DPLongo22]

I'm good through most of 2024 at current pace, which is slowing down monthly. I figure by then, and possibly MUCH earlier, common sense will have returned to society.

I find it absolutely stunning that we even have to think along these lines, especially when we'll push things like Opdivo (commercials every 17 minutes) before it's even fully & properly tested. Memorable commercials - needs more clinical trials.

The absurdities of a lobbyist-driven tax system continue to amaze me.

Not sure if you were aware, but the regular price at ecig.com is $7.22 and shipping would be free at the level you're talking about. No tax, either.

I have no connection to them but they've been my standby for coils.

Yeah, what he said. They have sales on of top of that also.

I've bought from them many times. I have lots of coils, just wanting to add to my cushion and try to throw some business to a local shop I have come to like. Plus I am moving shortly so it may be difficult for me to get age verification without giving out a photo selfie whatever with official ID in it. Not going there to buy vape things.

FYI? For 2+ yrs I have been buying all (100%) of my vaping coils for my Kabuki (only topper in use) from ecig.com . Never any duds, yes some random coils that for whatever reason (no clue, same juice, same watts, same device) go bad in half the time?? But whatever is produced by man/machine can fail, right? My point, I continue to buy from them, just enough to get free shipping too. No issues, no problems.

For what it is worth...

[Katdarling]

POIDH, Peter the _ C.

All the mods, and the ONE topper.

 

[Peter_C]

Actually to be correct and complete (korrekt and komplete), I have been using only the Radius and only the Kabuki for the last 2yrs or so. I enjoy this (Kombo) combo that much! Only the one juice (GVC of kourke) at 9 watts. Call (kall) me boring...
