Anybody Using A Kabuki?

[GeekyGeezer]

LOL, Black Friday special

I got one of those also, but it quickly became a genuine blem. Either the allen wrench was a touch too small or the set screw a bit large and the wrench slipped when I was using it to take the tank apart for the first time. I'd not had the problem with any of the other Kabukis I got, before or since.

I wound up with a shiny scratch on the base that can be party hidden (for a short time) with a sharpie.

Still vapes great, though.

I expect this one to pick up some scars in due time, I too made a tiny scratch when pulling it apart for the first time, and there is a couple shiny spots on the top edge.

A reminder for the new Stealth owners:

Only clean the stealth with cool water. Cerakote doesn't like hot water or sonic cleaners.

Here's a shot of two Blems, @AstroTurf

Thumbs uP!!!

I sure can't find the "blem" on my GMZ P3! Very cool finish to match my GMZ Kabuki!

And you may never find it. Many of us who've purchased a blem would look at it endlessly determined to find that blem & 2 yrs later....still looking.

Note 5!!!

I second that emotion!

Duane, I completely forgot about the Z2- probably because I dont come across much talk about it. I can't say I despise the 510 connector mainly due to the fact that everything I have is 510 for the exception of the Radius & none of my devices have failed me in the 2.5 yrs I've been vaping.

{IMO} The manufacturers need to get off their collectives behinds & do something to PUSH innovation. It's great they wanna make something new but where's the promotion of that new product? Hidden within forums- Ok, we know about it but what about folks who don't do forums? Whose only experience to vaping is a B&M?

"guarantee of future compatibility"..... Preach!!!!!

and in my case most of the shops near me cater to cloud blowers. the only authentic stuff is kanger and aspire and all the high powered tc stuff. i have to go to no mans land to even think about a provari and most have not even heard of HoH. those that have said they would not carry the stuff cause it is too expensive and no one would buy it.

My own tin hat theory is that Provape uses the "blem" to put on a special or a temporary price reduction without calling it as such. This as an owner of two supposed blems.

Its sad that you have to mail order the good stuff. My local Vape shop is full of drippers and high power asian stuff too. Too bad there isn't a higher end outlet in town. You won't sell if you don't have it. Customers aren't afraid of higher priced product. I worked for a high end Hi-Fi shop in the 80's. People will buy the better stuff if you have it and can show them the benefits. But it is easier to sell price. None of this stuff is that expensive. Especially when you consider how much cheap stuff you quit using and pitch. Sad

 

[Vicshalls]

the thing is if they continue to sell the cheaper stuff they keep getting business back in. I have all the fb pages and it just blows my mind how they go buy something and keep it for like a day or two then put it up on fb to trade or sell. what i do find funny is i hardly ever see any high end stuff up there. once in a blue moon there will be something, but not the norm and if they are getting rid of it it is because they need the money.

So simple, yet so elegant...

This is great! Rather than trying to find a 510 Kabuki, now we can use the better (direct coil to power connection) in everything we have! WooHoo!!!

Three cheers for the blue O-rings, GG!

(tho my preference is still the tighty whities)

Thanks, @Zen~ !

Can we take this as a sign that things are coming along at your shop? We, The Collective, hope so.
