Kabuki...Worth the investment?

.....if you want something fancier what you are looking for is something that says 11mm wide and between 15-18mm tall on fasttech.

Thought I'd give you a quick update now that I have spent a day vaping on the black kabuki clone after giving it a clean yesterday.

I gave my silver one a quick clean out too so i could compare the two and noticed a few differences, some bigger than others.

First off the machining isn't quite as good as the silver clone I already have. The top on the bottom section (the part you screw the coil into has circular lines running around it, can't be more than 0.5mm but you can feel them when you run your finger over it (no burs thankfully). I would have taken some pictures but very hard to pick up on camera as it is black after all.

Also the tank doesn't fit flush on my iStick 40w. There is around 1mm gap, it does however sit flush on my Pico which suits me as that's the mod I bought it for (because it's black and keeps my OCD at bay lol).

Here's the potentially big difference, which is that like the older authentic kabuki's the triton mini coils don't fit. You can remedy this by taking the bottom pin from a nauty coil and swapping it with the pin in the triton coil. Only a 2 minute job but worth noting anyways.

All in all for the price I'm still more than pleased with it. Also thought I'd mention that the Powwow Sauce I had been saving until I got this tank tastes absolutely amazing even using a 1.8ohm nautilus coil, so much so I have just ordered some more

Back on topic, if your considering a kabuki clone and aren't fussed on having a black one I would go with the silver one I've linked below:

Hope this is useful info for anyone thinking of joining the kabuki club or any of you after a spare

Anyone have any recommendations for aftermarket drip tips that don't look derpy on the Kabuki given how bad the stock one is?

Out of the recent batch of drip tips I got, so far I'm enjoying this one the most:

I also have the plain black version too, it's avaliable in a variety of colours if you fancy something different. The o-rings could be very slightly tighter fitting but doesn't go wandering around unless you are trying to pull it out.

A very close second is this one:

Slightly larger bore and has a spiral pattern inside to assist airflow I suppose. Dimensions apart from the inner bore is virtually identical. Obviously it's made of Delrin rather than POM if that matters to you. The o-rings do fit nice a snug compared to the other one too.

Hope this helps if you want a smaller bore drip tip
