My new Z80 came with a Zenith II tank. The color I wanted was only available as a kit. Tried to take a pic but couldn't make it work. The mod has rose gold metal with pale pink leather and a matching rose gold tank with a transparent pink drip tip. Sounds odd but I like it.

I searched ECF and found a 2 year old review by @hittman of the identical kit. Great review with a bunch of useful details. Thanks for doing that Hitt.

Apart from a BB this is the first new tank I've had for many years. My first top fill tank. It's drop in coils only. If it's good I might get a few more and stock up on coil heads. The only drop in tanks I have now are OG Nautilus with a decent sized bag of coils. Not my favorite tanks and I don't use them, just keep them in case I can't make coils some day.

Any suggestions on where to buy Zenith coils. I want to try the higher resistance coils and set the tank up for my usual MTL vaping, the coils that came with it were low resistance.

I just ordered a box of Zenith 1.2 coils from Vapesourcing. For some reason I didn't get charged the 15% Indiana ripoff Vape Tax or signature requirement. Hope that doesn't come back to bite me at tax time. If I like them they have $90+ free shipping. They sell the tanks and Z80 too so $90 wouldn't be hard to get to.

Then I read some stuff about Zenith coils having a lot of duds, particularly the 1.2. They were old comments though. Guess I'll find out.

    I’m glad you liked the review.

    I personally liked the 1.2 coils and don’t recall having any duds. I have a bunch of 1.2 and 1.6 coils I’ve been thinking about selling. I like the .3 coils better. If you decide you want more send me a pm and maybe we can work something out.

    What a day it was for the kids grad. party. We had warm and sunny, chilly and cloudy, a handful of sprinkles and one little burst of wind, I guess there was something for everyone though I’m sure most liked sunny and warm. Temp is 70.

    i've been using these coils for a very long time. Mainly the .8 and 1.6. I can count any duds on one hand without using all the fingers.

    I'm with you: didn't like the 1.2 and prefer the .8. It's the only drop-in I stockpiled for the day when my fingers can't handle building anymore.

    I'm trying for a coconut milk.
    Sweet coconut-flv-1.75%
    Coconut-fa-.75%
    Bavarian cream-tfa-1.5%
    Vanilla milk froth-cap-.5%
    Pie crust-fa-.5%
    Fresh cream-fa-.5%
    Meringue-fa-.5%
    Any and all help is much appreciated.

    I like where you're headed with that recipe.

    CAP Vanilla Milk Froth I would consider bumping up to 1% - 1.5%. That would help in giving you a more fuller milky coconut profile. The Bavarian Cream will add a nice full creaminess and additional complexity.

    I'm not familiar with FA Pie Crust. I have FA Graham Crust.

    FA Fresh Cream, nice addition, you can go up to 2% if you desire more milkiness.
    Guessing you're using FA Meringue to sweeten the overall mix? Excellent call if so!!! :thumbs:

    Glad you could come up with an answer. I know nothing about coconut.

    The pulls for the vanity were delivered so I installed them and I’m done with the bathroom. The wife is going to pick up a few things to decorate. Here’s a before picture after I tore out the step in front of the jet tub and a couple pictures after that were taken today.
