Is anyone else surprised that Phil has not got his hands on a beta version of the Radius to review. With his past relation with Provape and all. He seemed as "in the dark" as most were.
I think he's had a Beta Radius for a long time now.

I would LOVE a poly tank option though! Any chance of one in the future?

I think I still have at least 10-15 Nautilus coils laying around from like 1.5 years ago... Haha

If you know a supplier of Poly Tanks... it's 19mm ID x 1" high

I think he's had a Beta Radius for a long time now.

I think he's never had one in his hand.

Those aren't juice channels. The 'juice channels' are actually slots on the side of the chamber base....

They do work - it's what I had when I first got my Kabuki. Filled 28 times, still OK but swapped to try a new style one when they arrived. That's been in for nearly 2 months (at least one fill a day) and still going strong. So I reckon I'll need max. 6 coils a year per tank (I do vape unflavoured) :lol:

Does unflavored extend the coil life?

Funniest post ever! :lol:


Agree with all other kabuki comments - quite seriously it is SO much better than a nautilus. For me the kabuki has definitely been a game changer. Great flavour, easy to fill, not a single gurgle or leak since I've had it (2 months and used as main vape every day) and the coils last for ages. Kabuki & provari = guaranteed great vape. The only problem is once you've tried them you struggle to find a reason for buying anything else - which may result in some serious vapemail withdrawal symptoms ( luckily there is a cure - buy more kabukis and provaris :)).

This has been my strategy.

:facepalm:

I, too, have a P3 Kabuki and I can say that it is indeed a nice tank. I had a couple Nautilus coils, very old ones, and they did NOT work on my Kabuki as is… I had to get the bottom pin down a bit for them to make contact with my P3, the one supplied was perfect though. One other thing to consider is that I have a paper-thin gap between my P3 and Kabuki (and my other P3 threaded tanks,) and that might affect in a small way also.

I have no problem with buying some coils every once in a while, but besides avoiding smoking (which I have,) vaping has also become a hobby of sorts… not in a cloud chaser kind of way, even if a cloud every now and then is nice, but in the rebuilding. Since very young I loved doing art crafts and many things, and I happen to have worked with wire (for jewelry, not coils, though) and rebuilding is relaxing and fun for me. I'd love to see a rebuildable deck for the nautilus, to use with the Kabuki.

Anyways, I plan on getting a GMZ P3 Kabuki if it ever becomes available, and maybe a Stealth one as well.

Ping, in my experience, ANYTHING added to basic PG/VG gunks up coils and increases the need for replacement...I vape multiple 'flavors' while my wife uses straight 'tobacco' flavor...I rewick/replace my coils about 2:1 to hers...just my experience.

The istick 20w is cheap and very poor. It may well have lasted you 8 months but they are very poorly constructed. If yours is dead whip the top cap off and have a look at how the 510 pin is constructed, rubber and mastic I think you'll find :shock:
Now if that's not cheap AND poor I don't know what is.

The iStick 20 is what finally got me to stop using anything but ProVaris.

I think I have Five 20s laying about.

They are prone to 510 problems. They can develop switch/button problems. They are wildly inaccurate. They produce a harsh vape. They do not down-regulate. The USB is wonky as well.

They are cheap and handy. I know many people who swear by them. I also know many people who swear at them.

They work okay with a Nautilus, or Mini Nautilus, because of the spring-loaded pin that these attys have.

Ultimately, I never could trust them to work and the vape quality left alot to be desired.

I think most people who like the iStick eventually move on to the iStick 30.

I just switched over to the ProVis.

Agreed. I've posted this before, but it seems pertinent here:

Dual coil, 0.6ohms, after running through 60ml of unflavoured juice over a two week period (not rewicked, not dry burned):
