ETA: And, since the 510 Kabukis are no longer going to be manufactured, anyone who buys one in the future will be buying only the P3 threaded Kabuke.

So, for those who wish to use it on a 510 threaded device, they'd need this adapter.

I think I've been repetitive, but I hope it makes sense!

Maybe this will help --

Hmm -- or maybe not.

Say you have a P3 threaded Kabuki, Nautilus or one of the RBA models that has P3 threading --- with the use of this adapter you can use the atty on most any other mod.

Also, if someone is .... retentive, and doesn't like condensation on their precious P3 ProVari pin, they can use this adaptor on their P3 atomizer, and keep the ProVari P3/510 rings in place, and vape away without worries.

I bet that would look silly. Never thought of that but now that you mention it, I'm going to see what it looks like just for the heck of it when Jackie's adapter gets here.

I don't particularly like the condensation but, did I mention I bet this remedy would look silly? I'll stick to wiping it at tank change or refill.

Personally I would like to see a Kabuki that can interchange to 510/P3/Z2 threading.:)..... But the cost would probably prohibit it from becoming reality.
Yeah, that one would cost too much. Way back when I got my Kabuki I asked Zen about the possibility of buying a separate base, he told me that the base has the most machining steps in it's manufacture, so the cost of the base is a major portion of the retail price. The best way to have P3, Z2, and 510 compatibility cost wise would involve purchasing two atomizers and an adaptor.

It might not look a silly as you are thinking. The adaptor really is pretty short. I wouldn't bother with such things, but could imagine that there are folks that might.

Sigh....... Been having major issues lately. Been vaping the same juice in my kabuki since I first got it and it has never left my p3.

The first coil that came with it was great. Dusty cotton taste for about half a tank then just phenomenal. That coil died a week and 4 tanks later.

Every coil since has been horrible. Never seems to break in. Week vape and flavor. Dry tasting like it's not wicking enough and half way through the 2nd tank it starts tasting semi burnt like I'm vaping charred meat.

These are authentic 1.8 ohm coils I get locally and my new b&m gets them directly from aspire. I prime them well, start em out at 3.7v/7.5w for at least half a tank and bump that up when I start tasting cleaner flavor but can't go above 8.2w without gettin dryer hits. They never hit the nice moist dense vape the first coil did.

I've verified they are authentic coils but the strange thing is they don't have the ohm rating on the box like some of the pics I have seen. I've gone through 6 coils in the past week all with the same issues.

I'm at a loss here. My b&m gave me a new box from a new shipment for free to try but the first coil has the same issues. Another weird thing is the coils only say nautilus mini bvc on the box and not both. The verification code on the box was checked before I left the shop and it checked out. Is ther actually a difference in the mini coils?

I pulled the last coil and noticed a lot of juice in the top of the coil above the mesh and in the chimney. It's almost as if I'm pulling juice through the top threads more than the wick holes. I saw bubbles from the wick holes with the first coil but not with the last 6.

I love the tank but I might toss it in the vape bin if I can't figure out what's going on. This is why I got away from premade coils in the first place.

I just ordered some from Evape that had a great price. Didn't compare the package to the ones I ordered from sweet vapes and MFS, but I will now. I put two of the new ones in two Kabukis and got about a day before they both developed a tight draw, compared to three days on the previous coils. Not sure what's changed but these new ones are different.

Enaud, I bought one. Should be here today. I hadn't thought about your idea. That's a good one. I'm not a big fan on the condensation on the P3 pin. But I'd have to buy a bunch of the adapters to fit all the P3 tanks I have. I think I'll pass.

I guess I'm being dense but I don't understand how the adapter would work on a Z2 tank. I understand that it would fit a Z2 device using Zen's 510 adapter but wondering about the tank. I have one Z2 Kabuki and have only used it on a ZNA.

Hey, I couldn't sleep last night so maybe I'm not fully awake yet.

Re: 510 to P3 adapter
Works with P3 Kabuki on Jackie's V2 Mini but OPEN connection when adding Beauty Ring

In other words, the 510 to P3 adapter doesn't work with Beauty Ring
Which beauty ring? I ask because my adaptor works just fine with a Provape beauty ring on my V2 black mini.

Take a look at the base and see how far the pin is protruding from the adaptors insulator. You might try using something to push down on the pin from inside the P3 cup, then Screw the adaptor onto the mod with the beauty ring in place, only then install the P3 Kabuki and see if you can get contact. Hope this helps...

Since I get that with some beauty ring brands on various attys and not others......the actual style of the ring could be the culprit. The one I have that always works that I'm pretty sure is still available is the Svoemestro (is that how you spell it) ones, often called Kayfun rings.

My other solution is using one of those MadVapes thingies that go next to the pin. I believe they are circuit board spacers? sumpin like that.
