Kabuki clones - thoughts?

[ghostrider1971]

Evening each,

Finally got my Kabuki clone from Slowtech today

Does anyone else have one and what are your thoughts/tricks/tips?

1) I can't remove the drip tip

2) It seems very well made and solid

3) The wrench for the airflow is a PITA...but novel, I guess

4) Vape seems ok so far. Not bad but not blown away by it....(certainly prefer the 5ml Nautilus at the moment still....)

Oh dear.

I binned the one in my basket after Fasttech messed up on my last order when they listed a $17.20 tank as a $20 item which put it straight into the Royal Mail and Customs line of fire.

The Kabuki I as looking at was a posh one, but I don't want items between $18-$40 anymore from them.
I'll take my chances on a £50 mod and don't mind getting the notice of doom if necessary.

I've got a handful ghostrider1971 and they aren't bad, not much difference to the Naut I don't think. I've also got a Vika Fantasy on the slowboat, well it's arrived but it was smashed so am now waiting on replacement glass for it, it's supposed to be easier to set up than the Kabuki althou that's easy enough as it is.

Is your drip tip stuck in there? Mine came out alright.

TJ - I've tried twisting, yanking and pleading - none of them have worked

Funnily enough, I watched a YT video after (How I found out how to change the airflow....) and the guy in the video couldn't remove his tip either.

Hmmmmmm.....

djs - Hijacking my own thread (guess that's ok!!!) - my GS air coils arrived in the same packet - have also today finally tracked down a GS Air "M" tank in the UK

djs - Damm!!!! 58 minutes too early

The drip tips are press fitted and rammed in, they do come out but if it's stuck in there then you may as well leave well alone.
The kabuki vapes exactly the same as the nautilus mini, it's a decent experience.
I got myself a few spare tips for mine as a just in case

Lord, didn't realise you were after the GS range, I have a small pile of new GS Air authentic and clones in my stash ghostrider1971, still use a couple here and there, found no difference in the FT clones to the authentic myself, same coils used in all of them.

I didn't have a problem with my Kabuki tip, it popped straight out I change all my drip tips to preferred ones and of course they also have to match the mod they are on

[ghostrider1971]

TJ - Can I have the name of the GS clone on FT, please?

[djs]

I've got the original (authentic) 22mm GS tank. It's OK but I prefer the "GS Air M styled" 19mm from Fasttech.

I am tempted to just send them to you, but in all honesty, I have 50 (maybe 60) coils and they are my last line of defence if the zombies come hard armed with Uzi's.

Soz.

To get the drip tip out and to unscrew the base try something like this:-

the coil heads linked to on that tank, they've got mixed reviews....is this what you peeps are using in them? Are they ok for 80-20 pg/vg juice? I know I was looking at nautilus as a PT/aerotank alternative, but these look much more affordable.....

[ghostrider1971]

My latest Kabuki catastrophe is that the bottom metal ring is stuck fast on one of my mods...only the part with the airflow and above comes off now....

Can't move it with anything - tried pliers and screaming at it
