I have a 180 year supply of Fluval in my closet. Want some?
Ha!

I have a 100 year supply of rayon. Glad I bought 1/8th of a mile of it as I have been rewicking a coil no more than once every couple of weeks.

Anyone wants free rayon-mail, hit me up.

This is where I'm at too. I've done enough tinkering. But I still like my rebuildables. I just don't mess with them. I put in a coil that lasts six months and change the wicks every 10mls or so. Changing a wick takes as long as changing a prebuilt coil...for me anyway.
This kayfun mini can be done with you eyes closed too I think. Haha.

The great thing is, it's literally come down to what ya like. There was a day it was one or the other. I have hung up my building materials in favor of an easy coil drop and comparable flavor. Does not get much better than this. Well, until someone manages to invent the flavor of a Kabuki (best coil tank on the planet IMHO) with a 5ml + reservoir and the same flavor in a non-rebuildable platform). And based upon what Zen is saying, thats not happening anytime soon.

Quoting myself.. :D

2 days with the LG 18650HG2 (3000 mAh) batteries and I am seeing about a 10%-15% increase in run time.

Normally with the stock battery I'd get a full day but barely.. At bed time, I'd be pushing empty. Now with the LG I still have about 10-15% left. Its hard to judge exactly as the battery bar on the Radius is not exact but I am seeing an increase in run time.

That's pretty much what I've found using HG2s in any mod I own. Though there are other quality 18650s out there, I believe that HG2 is the standard for now.

Excellent, and thanks for following up with the quick review!. I'll pick up some of these from my favorite vendor as soon as they get them back in stock.

Me and the kf4 still don't get along very well. But the mini has been flawless at every build I've put in it.

Also hoping for a v5!

I'm having difficulty with gurgling in the Mini v3. Can't seem to get the wicking down properly I guess. Third wicking attempt coming soon!

Wicking is everything. I've got my Kf4's working to perfection. Still my overall favorite. With the Mini I keep the wick to a minimum (like all my Kayfuns, less is more) Try closing the juice flow some. It sounds like you might have it open too far. The Mini should be easy to tune in. Having difficulties with a Kayfun just means you haven't figured it out yet. Once tuned in they are awesome.

I bought the 3 lbs box from Sally's :p
If Sally's would've had this in a smaller box I would've grabbed that instead. The store I was in, they said this stuff started selling so fast & they had no idea why. All they knew was they couldn't keep it on the shelves.

!!! G*NOTE FIVE !!!

I use to be a rebuilding fool! From way back in the day when we used Fluval fish filter to SS mesh slug builds in drippers.. Meh, I'm tired of it now and just want to pop a coil in and vape..

I really like the Kabuki.. Sure it's a tad bit expensive but you get what you pay for and it's a high quality and well built tank.. I'd buy it again without a 2nd thought..

I finally got good at building coils, but found the activity stressful, if I'm being completely honest. I'm not a fiddler kinder guy. This is why the Kabuki has become such a wonderful thing for me. Plug and play at its best. Yes it is!

I've had a very similar experience with the AW 3000 mAh 18650 batteries in my Radius. I'm getting close to two days use out of one battery.

I too am using the LG 3000mah. One last all day on the Kabuki, but need three for an Aromamizer. Grrrrrr!!!

Guess I'm committed. Have a Ti-Kabuki coming first of week. Have only had Kabuki Knock-offs, which let me know that I really wanted a Gen. Kabuki!!!;):cool:

I'm out. No more Provaris for me. 12 is more than enough

I told my wife that I hit $1000 in money saved as of today by quitting smoking and she laughed her @$$ off. She thinks it is great I quit smoking, but not so great that I have spent 3-4x the amount I have saved on vaper related products.

And if she is anything like my ex, she would probably bring home shoes that she paid $200 for, but they were marked down from $450, so it's money saved! :D

I keeed, I keeed. I know the woman folks need their shoes.

You mean shoes and a bag, right? My wife says they sell them together and you can't get them separately.

If you buy that, perhaps I could interest you in buying this.........
