T for Texas!
Not everyone has that option. And the site does not tell anyone how to 'qualify' for it to be an option.

:)
buy an item(s) of equal value to what you actually want to buy... immediately cancel the order and get refund as gift cert... this is how to get around the restriction... I've done it many times to purchase Aspire products on FT.

Some vendors (Aspire) don't like that FT sells items below MSRP and so pressure Paypal to not let FT use for their products. Its not a FT thing, its an Aspire thing.

Since I have confirmed I am a dyed in the wool MTL vaper, I am going to join this crazy thread. I think once you decide it is worth your time to buy a Titanium Kabuki, you are ready to MTL for life. And, though I didn't read the whole thread (is that possible?) I already learned a bunch! I promise not to write novels :p.

I am interested in what coils people like for the Kabuki, the latest version, I've only vaped it on the 1.6 coil (which seems to be lasting far longer than it should... Compared to the Nauti 2, but that was a smaller tank with less airflow, so perhaps contributing to my gunking problem.) That said, I'm enjoying the vape immensely. Are the Nickle coils worth trying? Any preferences as to other coils? Opinions welcomed, I will probably try a bunch though I'm going to have to wait until THIS coil dies, LOL. So, no rush apparently?

Thanks,

Anna

Thank you for this info. Yes, I personally have done this many times with my orders. I was wondering tho, why some ft customers have the option to purchase a gc with a button that is included within their accounts and some don't. Cannot find any info about that on FT.

Thanks

Chelzbie, (and anyone else), the link to buy Gift Certs is Home

Use the drop down aaarow under your name (top, right), and choose gift certificates.

Bada bing, bada boom!

I believe Mr. Flakers and or a few others gave this info, too. :)

Eggszactly right on the Aspire products, TTex. When I was buying an enormous amount of Nauti/Kabuki coils, I'd always do the gift cert thang. I never felt "right" about ordering/cancelling.

No klue on this one, S&S. I've never researched their reasons. If ya find out... :)

Hey @stols001 welcome aboard. I don't have any kabukis....yet, but use three Vitka Fantasy's that are basically a Kabuki I think. I use the Aspire Nauti minis in them, either the 1.6 or 1.8Ω, they both work great for me. Since you can't use FT and pay for them with PP, I get them from 3F vape, PP no problem there.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! :) I feel right at home already.... Since I was on a Nautilus 2 tank, I have a bunch of 1.8 and 0.7, but I am really enjoying the 1.6 coil as well! I have some on order, but thank you @oplholik for the recommendation of where to buy cheaply... I will check out 3FVape for sure, and I'm not in any rush to get heads ATM, so I can wait a bit, but I'd be thrilled to purchase them in bulk/more cheaply, I have a feeling this tank is going to be my out of the house/back to work tank for Some Time, as so far I am lacking confidence in my coilbuilding capacities/leakage issues with RTAs, though I will be continuing to fiddle with different tanks!

Never heard of the Vitka Fantasy, will have to check it out :)

I checked out the Fantasy clone at FT, it does indeed look like the original Kabuki, and it was like under $10?? Since I have paid due homage to Zen the inventor by buying an original, I decided to get a clone as I love the vape so much and it will be nice to have multiple flavors to hand or out and about.... (I know, I said I wasn't going to *buy anything*, heh). But oddly, FT allowed me to use PP to check out, is this because I have an account with them? It just offered me the option, and I took it, didn't have to jigger around for anything.... And @oplholik, 3F pricing on coils was great, so thank you for that recommendation, well, both of them :) And to everyone else saying hi (I can see this thread runs like the river, so I will Be Alert and Be Behind, I'm guessing...)

TY, all.

    Totally true! Just like I wasn't going to try to take any pics with my measly phone camera. I'll leave that to the pros!

    All of the meteorologists on TV have been pushing fear ...They say that people have to use special sun glasses to look at the sun....... This is simply NOT true...... Sure, you don't want to look at the sun with ordinary sun glasses but if a person thinks about it for a second then they would realize they can use the camera on their smart phone.... Of course, you would want to use a smart phone rather than some cheap flip phone.... Most smart phones (no matter the brand) have very sophisticated cameras on board that posses excellent light filtering capabilities.... If your camera is set to auto, then it will filter out the excessive light.... I have been looking at the sun for over an hour while adjusting my camera and with zero problems. So, if anyone has a smart phone, then use it if you have no special sun glasses.
