I might be the only who here who says it's just so so- not the awe inspiring mod others have lost their minds over.

The Radius/Kabuki combo just doesn't do it for me. I only had 1.8Ω coils so going to try some lower ones & see if that makes a difference; but I'd need it to make a huge difference.

Matter of fact, Im'ma change the coil right now. [emoji6]

Note 5!!!

I'm sorta used to the Aromamizer, or Bellus at around .4-.5 ohm's, so it is a different experience for me as well. The Kabuki really uses a LOT less liquid, and does fine for me some of the time. But I still want that Big Full Chested satisfying feeling I get from the large rich vapor from the RTA's.

It has allowed me to cut down though. I'm using both now.
What I am really enjoying about the Radius is it's so small compared to the long 18650 Provari 2.5.

That and I can change the wattage to fit the Kabuki or Aromamizer so easily! Loved the 2.5, but I couldn't use it with the RTA's where they really come alive. ;)

How you liking the Bellus? I had a Bellus for a few months and really enjoyed it. Just got the Zephyrus V2 a few days ago. Enjoy that too, but the not a huge fan of the build deck.

I really can't quite get over just how little liquid the Kabuki uses compared to the Aromamizer:).

One thing for sure, You're gonna be one Happy Camper!;)

That was one of the reasons I stopped using the Aromamizer, the other reason being that I couldn't get a comfortable MTL hit.

What range do you normally vape at? It fits me perfectly (the radius, I mean, don't own a Kabuki), but that's the thing with vaping...there's no one-size-fits-all.

I know Apple existed before Xerox showed off. But I don't think Apple would be where they are today if not for the near total mismanagement of the marketing of some of Xeroxes brilliant computer innovations.

Check out this link:
Xerox PARC and the Lisa

Sorry, I forgot to ask if you'd like some of the popcorn. :w00t:

IBM has a lot of blame in mismanagement of Xerox research since they headed a lot of it back then. Xerox no doubt helped make apple what it became but it's because Jobs had the smarts to jump on the tech offered as well as some of their engineers. With what jobs did not only at Apple but his other company really makes him the Edison of our time and a marketing genius as well.


Apple themselves would never "add other parts" without asking the customer.
My roommate (Apple Genius) says they'll stop mid-repair, and wait to contact the customer if they find they'll need to do more than the agreed upon repair/service.
Company policy.
Now, other places, I can't speak about...cuz I don't know.
yep apple is good about that. Some of these idevice repairs places like to CYA to the point it's almost a scam.

What is it about the Aromamizer that causes it to use a lot of j(0_0)se?

Note 5!!!
It has extremely wide open airflow for cloud chasers, and it uses dual coils. It wicks like a beast (a good thing for sure)but, I was going through about 20-25ml a day (compared to my normal 10ish). So I'd say the dual coils combined with the really good wicking is what does it. Of course wattage matters also, I suppose, and when I was using it prior to getting the Radius I was vaping it at 0.2-0.3Ohms and 70-95 watts. That was also to blame for my juice consumption. I built it at 0.5 when I got my Radius (35-40W), but I never got to properly assess its' juice consumption at that range because I got tired of trying to achieve a comfortable MTL. So I'm back on my Lemo Drop.

Definitely underwhelmed with my Radius, and I kinda feel like the same would occur if I got a Kabuki.

I had a Radius/Kabuki combo but fell out of love with it when I got one of the last 2.5 Ti Provaris. Vaping 11w (about the max on a Kabuki anyway) seemed like a waste on a 40w mod, and it was a little brick, the Ti felt like balsa wood in comparison. So I had the first Radius sold in the classies.

Of course, my tune may change when my first rebuildable ever comes in sometime this month, but I will try to build ~1.5 ohm coils so hopefully I wont miss the extra power. The RDA and RTA I have coming in are titanium, so they will be great on the Ti. I imagine the Radius would be great if I were a direct lung vaper that used all sub-ohm stuff. Also, if Aspire ever goes all-in on sub-ohm and quits making Nautilus coils...

Actually, it was Xerox that made the first GUI (graphical user interface). They were sooooo.... pleased with themselves that they showed it off to Steve Jobs. :confused:

Big Mistake!!! Really, really Big Mistake! :lol:
And then Bill Gates saw it!

You are not the only one :)

I didn't care for it the second I saw it. I didn't care for the P3 and I owned 3 before selling them all. I do however LOVE my Ti(plural) and all of my 2.5s.

Kabuki is a means to an end. Easy to pop a coil in - mainly for hubs - but it will never replace my rebuildables. It is the best drop in coil tank I have used when the Nautilus coils are working perfectly. Perfectly - for me - is at the max 5 days for my ADV - which is a coil gunker. With my Kayfun/Prometey I change the wick (KGD) every 2 to 3 days - so I prebuilt coil lasting 5 is understandable.

Glad to hear some love being spread around on the 2.5! I just got my 4th one. A mini with a P3 cap & blue led. You gotta love blue led's. With a Kabuki its perfect in the pocket. I've got a SS & two Ti's. There is something about the simplicity and yet all the information available when you ask for it. When they quit making the 2.5 it will be a sad day indeed.

When the 3 I have in the mail get here this week, it'll make 7 2.5s and 4 Ti. That's an odd number. I have points maturing at Provape. I don't have a polished or a dragon. That's 2 birds with one cc charge :D
If you listen closely you'll hear the sound of envy. My regret is I didn't get an order in for a Ti mini before they were gone.
