It's your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude :)

Hi Everyone :) !

ok, two questions ...

1) Id sure like to order one of those "kabuki d'élégance" (finally found a way around the "wont ship intl." prob ;) ) BUT on the HoH website it says "made to order" and then the button to put it into your cart is greyed out & says "out of stock" ...??? Huh ????

Normally, I would have written them an email to inquire but this company seems to only give a mailing address and a phone number (while specifying that the phone is ONLY for warranty and CS issues so that would presumably exclude my "order/ inquiry)

I'm therefore hoping that maybe one of you guys will know the answer and will be able to help me out with some info on this ...Has anybody ever ordered one ?
How did you go about it ?
Did you wait until the button said "in stock" and allowed you to put it in your cart ?
(in which case they wouldnt be "made to order" though would they??)
Im confused....


2) My little screw has fallen out of the airflow adjustment hole on one of my Kabuki's :( ...

I have some spare screws though :) ...TG I thought to order the "spares" kit right when I bought my first Kabuki...so... how do I put it in ?

Hold the little screw with a pair of tweezers and just screw it into the little hole it fell out of ???Or is it more complicated than that ?
Sorry if this sounds dumb....Im just so totally UN-handy ;)

1. I have ordered one, I'm guessing the engraved tube is the part that is made to order, they probably need to have the GMZ Kabukis in stock. If you aren't attached to the engraved metal tube, I'd just order a GMZ Kabuki from Provape.

2. I have not lost a screw yet, but all you should need to do is place one end into the hole with tweezers, then screw it in with the supplied allen wrench.

glad to see everyone is running around the similar watts here, but it seems like not many ppl are running boost on their P3?

yes I do .I keep it at 2B on all of my P3's and really appreciate the boost feature
I usually go between 9.6 W and 10.6W.

I change my coils every 3 days more or less,at least on my main setup (I keep at least 4 going at the same time with dif juices).

I feel the flavor drops off quickly on mine, also draw gets tighter ...yuck .. :(
...for a less than 2$ coil (FT authentics) id rather just change as soon as I feel those "symptoms" ;)

I use 50/50 40/60 and even 30/70 juices, fruit or sweet dessert flavors so they must mess my coils up faster

Try putting the adjustment screw on the end of the allen wrench that came with your Kabuki and screw it back in. Not real difficult to do. Should be easier than trying to grab it with tweezers.

First, yes, you just screw the set screw in. Easy Peasy.

Second, my advice would be to contact Creme de Vape and see if they can special order the Kabuki you want from HoH.

And thirdly, @Zen~

Maybe Zen~ will pop in and make it happen for you.

thanks I got it ...followed your suggestion ;) would have been hard to manage the tweezers,I think ?

I can see well close up but this kind of small maintenance must be really hard on a lot of users !

Did ya ever have one of those days?

Went to bed at 4:30AM... at 7:55 a contractor rings my bell to do some work that they were supposed to call first before showing up... it's OK, I want the work done... Let's get rolling...

8:56AM... the phone rings... it's Al, my head machinist ... there's a bit of an issue at the shop. He says I better come down there right away...

Nothing could prepare me for what I was about to see.

When I arrived, much of the ceiling of the ZFO (our showroom) was on the floor... soaked in water.

It was quite literally raining inside the building... water was pouring down everywhere I looked except for the assembly area...

The office... drenched

My beautiful showroom... destroyed

The plating room... flooded

The machine shop... not so bad... but there's a flooded power panel that's making threatening smells.

The stock room... Oh My God... this can't be happening! Flooded.

Some time in the middle of the night, the Urgent Care facility that is located above the ZFO had a pipe burst... they had minimal damage... Thousands of gallons of water found it's way below, right through my business.

I didn't want MY staff to deal with this mess... the landlord was called, and I called in a team of professionals to start with the cleanup. It's going to take days to even assay the damage.
So far, both electrical panels will need complete restoration... new ceiling is a must, still sorting out the floor, and we have the daunting task of sorting through the products that have been hit by the water.

This will be a monumental task, but we need another day of running emergency dehumidifiers and fans (about 50 of them) before I can call the staff back to work. They are enjoying a couple days off with pay, this shouldn't ruin their incomes, I have to provide for them.

So... needless to say... our response times will be somewhat protracted, phone calls will resume when the phone is found... Hopefully working. The Square Shop is still running, if anybody needs anything the next date we will ship is on Thursday January 7 or possibly the 8th, so that's not so bad.

It's gonna be a fun week or two!

Already tried CDV ages ago(a month +), asked them to order the poly tanks-they said they were on order and then asked if they were planning on getting the ZK GM kabuki or if they could maybe just order me ONE... they said theyd be getting both in soon but....havent seen anything yet ... so I wouldnt really count on them .

(Im not knocking CDV- its a great store and theyre very nice & efficient-only good stuff to say about them)

Anyway, Ive got a US address+ reship now so dont necessarily have to go through CDV ;) makes it alot easier (hopefully)

Thanks for your help & suggestions ;)

That's hilarious.

Not for you, but come on, that is comedy gold right there.

I'm a very patient person when it comes to shipping, just didn't think they could really use up my $8 shipping charge this far beyond my expectation. I'm sure the European postal offices are wondering what kinda joke USPS is pulling this time.
