@Peter_C here is an old list of known tank cracking flavors https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/f...flavors-that-crack-tanks-ce2s-clearos.219179/ it's old but it gives you an idea about which flavors to avoid.
I ordered a kabuki to try. Fwiw. I'm surprised replacement tanks are $10 and selling a $3 parts kit instead of including it in a $90 atomizer is a slap in send customers faces imo. face. Especially as the parts inside that $3 kit are about $.20. The rest is just a touch of labor. So that said. Does. Anyone have the or ring sizes handy as I haven't seen a repair kit around even. And with shipping now the tank has been ordered its going tomato from $3 to $10
I bought the tank but as you can tell I feel there are several missteps that could be so easily avoided and this kit would go from a guy in a garage presentation to proper company presentation.
I'm very hopeful the parts aren't so right on the glas that it breaks right out of the gate like what's happened to a few people. And that I can avoid having Bvc coils stuck in the chimney every time I want to refill.
Basically the allure of the purported flavor was enough to push me past some things that Pwould usually stop me from buying from a. Vendor. Imagine how successful he'd be with a few super minor changes.
I'm thinking there have to be tanks for some other atomizer on fasttech that fit this kit, anyone figured that out yet?
I really hope I love this tank. I'm very skeptical right now on a few aspects...good flavor ironically isn't one of them.

Incidentally a few more times of rubbing juice on the rings and i can get the base off minus wrench 
I did spot some liquid around the p3 connection these last 2 days, am playing with having the coil tight but not turned as far as it will go. Hopefully that fixes it and hasn't done any damage to the radius.

It will put a little juice down on the connector every now and then depending on the individual coil/oring.
Not much and not often.
No big deal.

Aye it didn't happen at all with the original coil, so i did the turn it all the way till it won't move and then ease it off a wee bit again today a bit less than yesterday we'll see if that makes a difference. I had already dabbed the connector a little with a wet paper towel and then dried it off well before i reassembled, after seeing the few spots of juice, so i should be able to see if it was my user error. Maybe it is just the coil.
Not super worried. Have been in the fda threads a bunch today and feeling a wee bit maudilin honestly.
It's a beaut the kabuki. I think the black radius combo is going to look ridiculously spiffy. Looks great on the cabarnet, but i think the all black may level up

Everyone is entitled to make a Profit...
For, without a Profit today, we won't be in business tomorrow.
If you find that unfair, perhaps look into smoking again!
Tired, Jim
Kabuki would look great on a wash tub. On a black Rad, perfection!...

The FDA threads are not the happiest of places, are they? Spent time there, as well. Then popped to Phiniac (Thank you, Zen, Kat and DP, for the info on Phiniac) for a few tanks, and ordered 10 boxes of coils. So, a boost to the economy!

I think the comment about "a guy in a garage presentation to proper company presentation" rather harsh and a slap in the face of a man and his company making a very high quality product, not to mention the excellent service.
I have eight Kabukis. One of them had an issue with connecting with one of my P3's, but, despite what ProVape claims, I think the problem is on their end rather than Zen's. I would not have paid all of that money had I thought the tanks were crap. I've removed and put the glass back on numerous times on each tank and the only tank I broke was when I dropped on a tile floor while drying it. Hardly anyone's fault with mine.
Lol - nothing like a positive attitude. My glass broke when I first got it but it was because I knocked it over. If you're accident prone get the steel tank. Don't worry if the bvc gets stuck in the chimney - just fill it up, screw the base on and carry on vaping. Doesn't make a bit of difference. I think you'll love it when you get it - it's worth every penny exactly as it comes. I'd leave buying spare o-rings etc. though until you know if you like it - I have a parts kit but for back up but I don't expect to need it for a very long time. (As you can tell I think it's already a 'proper company presentation'
)
I'm just so pleased that HOH is now selling direct and we can pick up spare parts as we wish, or need. Really looking forward to more colored O-rings too.
I was a small business owner for some years. Quite an enlightening experience. Every employee should try it and get a new perspective. One thing I sure learned is about cost analysis, you know, how much it cost to make an XX, including only costs of materials and personnel. Theory and actuality are far different in practical application. Throw in "costs of doing business--like rent & utilities plus" and costs vary immensely.

Yep... and labor has to be calculated at the "burdened rate" which is Hourly wage plus the following:
Total cost of the benefits provided to the employee divided by 2,080 which gives you the per hour cost of the benefits including healthcare and 401k, plus Social Security contributions, disability insurance, unemployment insurance, the cost per Sq.Ft of space the employee takes up in their job divided by the 2080.00 figure (a work year has 2,080 hours in it). So if we pay somebody 15 bucks an hour to shove O-Rings in a bag, and they can do 120 bags per hour, it looks to the outside like it costs 12.5¢ for labor... but the reality is that it's over double that... which doesn't seem like much, but that is JUST the cost to put them in a bag. They need to then be put into bins where they can be picked, and somebody needs to pick them when they are ordered, and they need to be packaged, a shipping label printed... on and on.
And the 90 Dollar tank COULD have included a spare tank and extra parts, but we would then need to charge 105.00 for it, because even though Kanger and Aspire "include" them... they are NOT free! They are reflected in the price.
And trust me, h00ligan, this "Garage Presentation" isn't made in a garage. HoH is a proper company, with well compensated professionals at the helm of the machines, which we own. My employees receive health care, vacation pay, 401K and more. The head of my machine Shop is a 26 year veteran of production and custom machine operations and is a journeyman that is well established in his field, and I'm lucky to have him in my "garage".
Our goal is to offer good value, and while we may very well be the most expensive, I feel the value is exceptional. Our customer service is second to none, our use of premium materials is unprecedented in vaping and at the risk of sounding arrogant, the Kabuki is the #1 selling USA made tank in the business.
And we have bacon in the fridge.
Right on Zen. I have excellent experience with your products, communication and service level, and I can just say I have never experienced this level of quality. Beside that: I don't understand what is "garage level" about the packaging or anything, I think it's quite a smart way to package a tank, it is well protected this way.
The blue o-rings showed up today. The color is closer to the Radius in person..
