I see that GUS LL 1 matte drip tip ;)

To dare - my all time favorite tips are Gus tips. They're fantastic! Not the cheapest things in the world though - but I find myself wanting the whole collection!

Yep, they're nice.
I've got only one, the exact one as in your pic. Got it with the Phenomenon.

Likewise. I personally struggled with the Phenomenon. Fantastic flavor!! I just couldn't get the build right - haha it was either dry or leaking all over the place. Took some skill that I don't have I guess. Haha

I dunno, pretty easy to build, that thing. Did it right with the first. And ever since.
Got the Momentous base. A bit too airy for me, though.
The drip tip is more for mouth to lungs. Fine by me.

I'm almost afraid to comment on how this BVC coil is holding up in the Kabuki. Tomorrow it will be a full week since it went into service. I know it's been a while since I last used a BVC coil, but I don't recall having one go this long without any signs of degrading. It still tastes fantastic.

And the battery in this Radius is simply awesome. I charged it on Friday night. And I still have about 3/4 of a charge left on the battery meter.

The whole combination of Radius and Kabuki just keeps impressing more and more. Yes it does!

That's impressive, what Watts are you vaping at, more importantly how many mls of eliquid are you vaping a day?

I'm vaping at least 6ml of liquid a day at 9.8 watts, which seems to me at least, to work best with this coil.

Just for a frame of reference kind of thing, what kind of liquid are you vaping? Is it a light-colored liquid with a lighter flavor? Is it a heavily-colored flavor with a lot of sweetness? Is it a darker color with a rich flavor? Flavor has always proven, in my experience, to be a major determining factor in how long a coil (pre-built or handmade) lasts.

I only vape very light colored juices. This particular juice is spearmint, which I've vaped for a long time, is very flavorful and is 60/40 PG/VG blend.

Haha good work. I usually had more on the leaking side of the equation I guess for me.

Funny what some struggle with others find easy.

This. Higher PG juices regardless of flavor tend to Vape cleaner as long as it wicks good. Wicking on the nauty wasn't that good unless you had the mini.

I dont have a Kabuki but I have tanks with prebuilt coils - GS Air - hubbys GS Air with the same liquid I am vaping will last him maybe 3 to 4 days on an istick (dont ask) however, me - I can go a week to 10 days on the same coil and I vape at least 5 to 6ml a day on that one tank alone. I think it is the way ProVape sends the power to the atty...sounds cray-cray but I'm telling you I can taste the difference between a Provari and an istick with the same tank and forget about using the same volt settings...Provari does taste much better too!

by_the by... about 50/50 9mg light color DIY

I'm using much the same juice and watts I used when I used to use these coils, but they didn't last like this. No they did not!

Make an experiment. Try to use one of your old tanks, Nautilus, side by side with the kabuki. If you're willing :)

Yep, thanks. Looks like you have the Zest v1.3 base. Should be the one with the tightest draw. Can you comment on that? I'm considering to order the Lite (medium) base to make mine tighter.
The Momentous is easy to build, because the juce channels are shallow, I build it like a KFL. You have tried, to leave a bit of cotton in the channel, so that it goes into the hole, right?

Momentous looks like this:

Due to being in the hospital, and rehab for a broken hip for the last 3-4 weeks, I am just starting to check out these beauties. I was on the website looking for the dims. for the Radius, and didn't see it. Could someone post the dims. please. :)
