Oh......Good Morning!!!!

Siliconia, eh? Wow! Love the glows and all the new colours. Dayum you, Zen.


Arnold, I had one of those Kryptonite tanks from a few years back (I think Longo has it now), and they are unbelievable! That would be a superior choice perhaps for the tank breakers among us.

Nah. I broke that thing 10 minutes after I opened the package.

I kid. It's still perfect.

Sign me up, Zen.

Just ordered the adapter!
Can't wait to get it and the new mouthpieces!

Dammit, gnees!!!!

That which has been seen cannot easily be unseen. Trouble (with a capital T, which rhymes with "Me"...).

DAMMIT, GNEES!

 

[chrisz]

Yeah, I have to agree with that. I ALMOST bought one when they were released but am a one Mod Man (sorta, with spares) and decided to stick with ProVape.

How about that vw commercial with the kiss song " Beth"? Kind of cool!

Yeah hopefully, if Peter Criss is laying face down in the gutter somewhere, he's at least getting royalties from it.

Might be some Dolphin colors in there. Would look good with someone's tank?

mmm-hmm.

He's very much still around, Gin. He still does appearances too (signings, etc.). Of royalties I have zero doubt.

Good for him too.

OK, time for a serious question.

Since the Kabuki has now been counterfeited by the Chinese, does anyone know how to tell the difference? I was looking at buying a used Kabuki and I realized that I could no longer be sure of what I was getting. In the cases I'm looking at I don't believe the seller is being dishonest but unless they were the original buyer I'm not confident of getting the real thing. It would just be too easy to put a counterfeit into the original egg and double your money.

I doubt that Zen has bought one so if any of you have comments, I'd appreciate it.

The counterfeit has a flathead screw for a 510 post. An HoH has a allen head.

Easy to change, but that's very helpful! Thanks for the reply.

Edit: And now after a few minutes of thought I almost wish I hadn't posted the question.

Previously, I was heavily involved in auto restoration with a strong emphasis on authenticity. As new information was discovered, it turns out that the most interested readers were the crooks who now knew how to step up their game.

Sometimes I'm discouraged about living in a world like this, but I guess you can't worry about every little thing.

actually, Zen has bought Two. He wanted to see what the quality was like.

Remember, Zen is all about helping people stop smoking, Not making money. (although making money is Always nice)! LOL

We were so busy talking about other things, that I never did get around to asking him what he thought of it. We did agree that the machining was very nice. Surprising nice in fact!
But you, It's still not the one and only, Original Zen Kabuki! "There can be Only One"

It's too bad that we need to think along these lines, but we must.

I bought one clone to check them out, and indeed they have a different 510 pin (screw not allen), also the glass is of lesser quality. Machining is pretty good indeed, but my main gripe with it is the coil sticks in the chimney EVERY TIME, and unlike the original you can't thread the base back on with the coil stuck in the chimney. So you have to use pliers to remove it first...a big PITA.
Seems the measurements of the dimensions are not as accurate as the original.
The clone is now in the vape stash, not to be used unless no other option, as it's to much aggrevation.

So I don't recommend the clone, if you can afford it go original, much less trouble. If you can't afford it buy another tank or even better save up until you can afford it....it's the best factory-coil tank out there.

So tru, dru.

Your post brought a bit of discussion between the DPL and me this evening. Our conversation led to buying used gear, and we both rapidly agreed on this subject. Of all the vape gear out there, we would NEVER buy "gently used" Kabukii, or Billet Boxes. Just no no no NO no.

Like you said, either buy the real deal original, or something else entirely.

 

[tearose50]

There is certainly always a gamble when buying a clown, and no or very little in the support department. Thanks for reporting in, Drugworth. It's the first I've noticed of someone who has both and can really compare.

Kat -- If one were to buy a used P3 or Z2 Kabuki it would be a "real deal original" as there are no Kabuki clowns in that configuration, nor any GMZ's or stealths. At least this week there aren't.

 

[DPLongo22]

USPS tracking said mine was to be here today. Imagine my disappointment when it wasn't! Good thing I work from home 9 days out if 10. Hopeful for tomorrow.

Btw, I just can't get a connection when I use either the SS or black PROVAPE beauty rings with Jackie's V2 Mini and the 510 to P3 adapter, using a couple of different Kabuki's. I think I've taken Enaud's place as the one who nothing works properly for right out of the box unless it's had at least a 6 month break in period with the general public.

EDIT: I feel I should add that Zen is working with me on a solution, of course. He's sending me some different pins to replace the one presently in the adapter. As he said, that adapter worked with every single 510 device available to them and the difference in clearance between it working without the beauty ring and it not working with the beauty ring is probably absolutely unbelievable. I concur, but like I said, I've taken Enaud's place...

One should absolutely buy anything and everything at HOH with confidence.

Oh, and one more thing, Jackie prefers flat tipped drip tips (like a cigar plastic tip) and she loves those pipe stem drip tips they have on closeout.

I cranked 2 different nautilus coils down on my P3 Kabuki as far as my 6'7" 225 lb frame would allow, but the coils won't make contact with the actual p3 side of the adapter.

You sure this isn't your issue?

I haven't mentioned this to anyone yet... Haha got it last week, and was frustrated and put my Kabuki away for awhile.
