So........Looks like one of the local vape shops here have the Kabuki, with the P3 Connector.........Is it worth the money? Not sure how I feel about dropping 90 bucks on a tank, and a tank that isn't rebuildable......I had a Aspire Nautilus at one time, and was happy with it. Just wasn't too thrilled about replacing the coils once a week/every other week.

Any rumors on a updated Kayfun v5??? And not a mini version??? Really wish I could get the wicking right on my Kayfun V4......Anyway......

I have a 510 K I got from Mount Baker Vapor. I love it and will be adding a P3 one next month. I also have the Kayfun 4 and Mini V3. They all have a place in my rotation. I say go for it on the Kabuki and then get yourself sorted out with your K4. Plenty of good YouTube vids out there on it. I am partial to the @qorax ones.

Haven't heard anything new on a Kayfun V5. We're pretty certain they have something in the works but they also send their teasers out a good month or two in advance and so far we have seen no teasers. Meanwhile, this Kayfun Mini V3 is kicking ....! Best RTA I've ever owned. Yes, low capacity but easy to refill. Great flavor.

There are tanks available that increases capacity by quite a bit.

Since you have both I'd be interested in your opinion on what the Kayfun Mini 3 does better than the Ti Mods Achilles. :D

The flavor is very close. But the nod goes to the Achilles by a smidge (as most all drippers do). The KM3 doesn't eat juice as fast as the Achilles. And I like a tank so I can see my juice levels. That said, I love my Achilles and they will see plenty of use. :)

Thank you good sir! :)
I have another Achilles on the way. :w00t:

Yup, got myself a Kabuki on my lunch break. Got a traffic ticket on my way home. :-(

That sucks. Hopefully, you'll be so happy with the Kabuki, the traffic ticket won't weigh on your mind.........

Make sure you really prime the coil before firing her for the first time. It helps to drip a few drops of juice in the top and then a drop at each opening where you see cotton. Then just let it sit with juice in the tank for a few minutes. I've never had a burnt or dry hit doing it this way.

Whether it's worth it to you or not, can't say. I can tell you all my authentic Kayfun's are nice and clean and sitting in a drawer as the Kabuki (P3 threaded) has become my primary vape these days. I like it so much, I now have 3 and am considering a 4th soon. On the cost of the coils. I did a wittle math. I'm replacing a coil on average every 2nd or 3rd week (I vape at 9.8 watts on the 1.6 ohm authentic Nautilus coils). I buy my coils when I see them on sale at less than $10/box of five coils. That puts each coil at about $1.90. Even if I replaced a coil every other week, that's less than $50/year. For the convenience, great flavor and quality of vape, I find the investment extremely reasonable and far less $$ than the stinkies I used to buy daily.
Do you toss your old coils or clean & put them up for reuse later?

!!! G*NOTE FIVE !!!

I tried to reuse an old coil once, by letting it soak in pure isopropyl alcohol, then soaked in hot clean water and left to dry fully. The results were very disappointing to my taste buds, so once a coil is ready for replacement, I just toss it.

I'd rebuild it. :)

That wouldn't be a consideration for me. :)

No sir, Mr. Evangelist for all things Mini V3!! :lol: Though I can hardly blame you. I've uh, er, um......been known to evangelize over things I really love, myself. Just a smidge!

I'd just want to see if it could be done. I've rebuilt a lot of coil heads that weren't intended to be rebuilt including T2's, CE3's, Novas, Protanks, etc...
