    Coiless? How does it work?

    You just insert a piece of cotton. Info here:

    Well I will let you know once I try it! LOL I like the Kabuki so much was trying for something to keep it going when I run out of coils.

    You probably know this (I didn't) but coils for Kabuki are pretty cheap at FT, 5.01 for 5 which is better than the ones for nautilus. As I understand it, they are interchangeable so I will buy these for both.

    @Vandal The vibe I got from meeting people up in Boulder was a very good one. Very kind, friendly, laid back, helpful feel. If I didn't live in Austin, I would consider moving there, start a new adventure, but unless they outlaw vaping, something drastic happens, or maybe if I won the lottery, it's a "Well it wouldn't be bad if.." situation. All I know is I would fit it with the lifestyle up there just fine I think.

    EDIT: maybe Chicago as well. I love creative, artistic hotspots. Music. Entertainment is important to me. You only live once. I try to smile as much as I can.
    I spent a lot of time in Denver/Boulder recently and the people are great but very few people seemed to smoke/vape out in the wild. Maybe too busy doing other things. ;)

    The most vape friendly city I have seen was Nashville, TN. I was there in March and smoking was still permitted in certain restaurants/bars, but every bar I went to let me vape. Very suprised actually. Granted, this was always quite late and I wouldn't expect to vape in the Ryman, Bridgestone Center or Grand Ole Opry, but most places were fine with my vaping and there were usually a couple other

    P.s. Austin is a great city. I worked Dell (twice!) so know it well. Red's Gun Shop still around? :D

    Those are clone nautilus coils and kinda hit and miss on quality for me but I have also had a few bad authentic ones too. My main problem with the clone coils in the Kabuki was leaking and some would not screw down into the base or were duds.

    Well I thought that was on the V1, thinking V2 was better, my bad! LOL

    Not meaning to be a Debbie Downer ... but.

    Make sure you're well relaxed and up for a real challenge. The V2 will test your patience to the extreme. And you may get it working satisfactorily.

    Right, but aren't these things only being asked for if identity cannot be confirmed in other manners? And I have yet to see photo ID AND last 4 of SSN, from what I can see it's one or the other.

    Not saying it's not a concern, just think we're being overly concerned. I'll be damned if I'm not going to get verified for My Vapor Store, My Freedom Smokes, and Heather's Heavenly Vapes. The rest I can do without.

    Nope, they're asking for all of this to maintain in their database for age verification. If you think people are being overly concerned you haven't been paying attention to the compromised sites that they have released publicly. Trust me when I say there are many more that are not published that have been compromised.

    Thing is the FDA only requires verification for those "under" 27, a lot of sites are just doing a CYA with requiring it from everyone. But this will bite them for people are paranoid (rightly so) in releasing so much personal information.

    How would they determine who is over 27 and does not require verification? I don't see any way around verifying everyone for online shops.

    Meh i was going to post more about this but I just got dragged into all kinds of infighting in another vaping group and I'm just happy to be here with you guys. HUGS! :wub:
    I'm a cheerleader for foolishness. Where's the infighting taking place? :sneaky:

    Many people were hoping an authetic base was made but the maker of the Kabuki was adament he'd never make one. I guess in his mind, throw-away coils was the wave of the future. Surprising since he was well aware things could severely change with the deeming.

    I don't quite get the verification bit - they want it because some underage child could be using an adults CC or something - well that same underage child would know all the info the verification is going to ask - so what's the difference...

    The way I look at it is - only a person age 18 or greater can own a CC and in some cases they have to be 21. So if an underage person is able to use an adults CC for purchasing something they are not old enough to purchase then would that not be that adults responsibility?

    I would say its more like most products - the real money is in the continual income from the refills...

    I follow system security on Twitter through a Twitter list that I've created. The information is immediate from all over the globe.

    Last year there were tens of millions of identities stolen through Internet based systems created by people with security credentials. Hacking is off the charts.

    All that I can tell fellow vapers is to look at what they say they are going to keep. Take it with a grain of salt. There may be some great systems that do not keep much.

    Keep in mind that every transaction that you have ever done anywhere is based on
    * Your systems current security
    * Their systems current and future security
    * The security of the open protocols that were probably written and maintained by less than 100 people globally.

    Red's gun shop, the one on Lamar? I think it is, how can you miss it in the traffic with all that 5 o'clock traffic on Lamar, lol. Yeah, lots of people have worked at Dell, lots of software companies and medical centers here, it's why I love it here, jobs wise. I'm in the tech field myself. The music too. Good music scene. I dig indie and underground up and coming not so famous but trying to get there bands. I see some guitars in your photo, you play?

    Which is why I'd never go buck wild ridiculously stocking up on a whole bunch of tanks that exclude an RBA deck.
