My first Provari was a 2.5 and would love to have it Zencoated to preserve it but I didn't think he did that coating for single items. Someone please correct me and say I'm wrong![emoji106]

He will? On the vid where he was talking about Zencote he said that the process was so expensive that he had to do hundreds of units at a time. Maybe that was old info.

If that's the case, maybe we can reroute Astro's 10000 plovari dragon clones that he just ordered and have them zenkloted to make it more cost effective.

I think if you were flexible with the completion date of your request, and had enough fities. It could be incorporated into one of those mass batches of coating.

Just a thought, Jim

Well, in fairness, that might have been a bit presumptuous of me, but it's certainly not out of the question that most anything can be done, provided all parties are in agreement with all terms.

In other words, "Cough it up...!" ;)

Well, I have to admit that it's way more likely than me getting a zombie kabuki :(

There are other companies that do the same thing, Buuuuut-It cost like the Dickens! It is very popular in the watch collection crowd. Last I saw over a year ago, the cost was well over 160.00 usd.

The Pencil lead color being applied to Panerai's is Beautiful! It would be a real stunner on a Provari, or the top and bottom caps of the Radius.:cool:

Here is a perfect example of just how beautiful PVD-DLC can look on a media blasted surface.

The is the much coveted and Highly collectable PAM 360 (BBQ) By Panerai. This is called Pencil lead in color. We need to talk ZEN into a few blasted pieces!

I received my Gunmetal P3 Kabuki just now and can confirm for those still curious that it is Zenkote. I says on the side of the package it came in and it is beautiful! Huge thanks to Zen and Provape!

Mine came today and I'm vaping on it as I type this. That was money I didn't need to spend but I'm absolutely happy that I did.

For lovers of HOH trivia, some changes have been made. The P3 stand is now screwed to the bottom of the plastic egg and the allen wrenches are contained in a plastic tube, but still secured using those incredibly tiny black rubber bands. The mind reels.

I didn't notice until it got here that it comes with white (greyish?) o-rings. Pretty spiffy though no doubt I'll also try the black or red ones.

Well taking this thread to its most illogical conclusion, I imagine enough fitty's could get it platinum plated. The soon to be popular Provari mini Pi! [emoji383][emoji41][emoji383]

I had read in this thread that Zen was coming up for a way to use the Triton Mini coils in the 510 Kabuki without modding the coil, but I haven't seen any actual action yet. Is that still in the works?

I don't think so, based on his (less-than-glowing) review of the coil, but that's supposition on my part. I guess it still might happen?

Only The Zenmaster knows...

My GF ordered a Provari Radius last week, we have 4 510 Kabuki's between us....is it worth to buy a P3 Kabuki for it, or will the 510 do just fine? (in other words is there extra benefit in using the P3 version?)

Some will say yes, but for me, no. All three of mine are 510, by intent, and I prefer the flexibility.

In fact, my Kabukis pretty much never sit on a Provari. Given my propensity to flip, thwack or simply just drop the Provis, the Kabukis wouldn't stand a chance. They all sit, comfortably and happily, on various box mods.

Even if I was using them on my Provis though, I'd still prefer the 510 versions, in the event I wanted to swap them off to something else. I also like the ability to adjust the 510 pin, if I need to do so (only once so far, but...).

Like everything else, this is but one relatively insignificant opinion. To many other folks, the advantage of having that hybrid look will trump everything I've typed here by kilometers-and-kilometers.

To the vape! It's to live for.

I own 3 of both. I use the P3 on work and travel rigs with SS tanks because the one thing the P3 does do is provide a much more stable and sturdy platform. The added conductivity is not something my unsophisticated pallet can detect. As always, just my humble opinion. [emoji41]

Anyone ever tried to vape anything thicker than 50/50 with a Kabuki?
My wife is a BIG suicide bunny fan and she has that cloud line (she being pip) and my wife runs those in her kabuki all the time with zero issue. She loves it. I want to get her another kabuki with a polycarb tank. Right now I am stocking her up on the heads for it.
