There will always be a little moisture put down by the Kabuki, in addition to any other problem one might, or might not, be having with the pin or coil, as it does not have a condensation chamber.
Anybody Using A Kabuki?

That's a matter of how tight you have the coil in the base, and whether, or not, it is cross-threading in the chimney.
Not most of the 0 rings bought from the typical hardware store, as it's the material they are made of that permeates the liquid with a bad taste. It's not just the surface of the 0 ring, but it's thru and thru them. Can't get rid of the rubber taste at all.
The Clone has this issue! Along with hardware sourced 0 rings. Not the Gen. Kabuki!

My 510's do that more often than not--never happens on the P3. The coils are tight and they are not cross threaded. It bugs me a little bit because I have to take the extra step to get it out. I think it is just a trait of the 510.

Interesting. I never thought about sub-par o rings on a clone.
I believe Silicon and Buna are the preferred material for o rings for attys -- and HOH now sells both.

The above is an earlier comment from Zen --- that might be useful.
Info from The Horse's Mouth!!!
Talked to ZEN at length today, and one of the things that we talked about, was the "0" rings for the Kabuki.
I was wondering if the Kabuki body in TI was of a different ID (outside dimension)", as the glass globe was so easily removeable. As was the base when filling.
Zen told me that the original O rings were of a fairly firm 70 durometer, whereas the new 0 rings were in the neighborhood of 40-45 durometer. Using contact wheels in my business of KnifeMaking, I am very familiar with differing Duro. ratings. This is a "HUGE" difference!
It took ZEN over half a year to have something as seemingly simple as custom "O" Rings made for us. What would seem simple, is in reality, a real PITA. It's very hard to have a manufacturer, change something in it's production line. Much more so if it is a run of an item that is not normally used, or have a wide need in industry.
Why go to this all this trouble of having "Custom "O" Rings made? Now folks, the answer to that IS Simple.
Zen wants to make the very best product possible. Not just the best he can make, but the best that can be obtained from Any Source. Period!
But still, why all the trouble? Well, remember all the fuss over just why the globes were cracking when filling the Kabukis? Turns out, it was the interface between the O rings and the glass. Not the type of glass itself.
Who Knew right? And to think many of us complained about the type of glass used, mostly not knowing that it was in reality a superior product in and of itself. Grrrrrrr!!!
So there you have it. To keep tolerances in a precision device was paramount to HOH. The O rings turned out to be the culprit all along.
Now who else but our very own ZEN would put out the amount of money, effort in research, and negotiations with manufacturers of such a mundane item, to simply make life a little easier for us.
Other than Provape, HOH is the only one in this business I can think of.
Man, we are so lucky to have these two great companies catering to our needs.
Can you imagine the possibilities if these two got together for our benefit? Now that would be a World Changer in the Vape World.

News flash, Silicone O rings are now fully available from HOH, and the new Black silicon O rings will be added in a short time. There were problems getting the black Colour right, but they pulled it off. Woo-Hoo!! Don't ya just Love-it when a plan comes together!

Forgot to add, that ZEN apologises for not being here lately. Too many Irons in the Fire. First the flood, and getting everything back to ship shape, and now catch up, and new projects.
He said that you know that when I'm not on the forum that I am super busy. Work is swamped, and his hobby which fits in with HOH is taking up his free time.
I feel kinda responsible for part of that.
Time will explain all. Yes it will!

Thanks for the great info! I would like this post twice if I could.

You...sneaky...sneaky...
SUBLIMINIAL HINT DROPPER!!!
You guys ought to take the DPL approach, and celebrate! More vliquid available in the tank when the coil sticks in the chimmmminnny.
It's a WOO HOO!!
Explain please, Knife? (asking again.) For what are you responsible?
But what is the trick to getting it to screw back into the base? I've had that happen on the 510 Kabuki and filled it full, but then I couldn't get the it to screw back onto the base.
I now use (I think it was @ENAUD) method of pouring in the liquid right to the top and a few drops more, then carefully screwing the tank on the base. It leaves a very small bubble and works great. The cohesion keeps it from pouring out. I also just tighten the tank to the point it touches the base and the coil stays in the base the next time I go to refill.
Mine usually screws right back one. Occasionally it'll be slightly off line, but a quick redo seems to always do my trick (so to speak).
Filling the Kabuki past the chimney (cuz the coil got stuck) is a bad thing.
Filling it completely is a bad thing.
It should be filled to 85-90% at most.
The air bubble is what makes vaping work in a tank system!

@Knifemaker Fabulous to get this "report" even if it wasn't direct from the Zen~ himself. A mere like wasn't enough.
