Nope. In the past couple of weeks I bought the P3 SS, P3 titanium, and 510 blue Kabuki that I'm returning and buying the V1.5 as a replacement. Oh and I have the GMZ kabuki on the way with matching 2.5 blem. I have to slow down for a bit lol
That gold does look nice though. I briefly thought of a C3-PO provari so my R2-D2 wrapped mini had a friend but it was only a thought.
my P3 threaded kabuki's tank is taller than the mt baker 510's tank...
try this... put a coil in your base, snug...screw the base w/ coil into the chimney section (not too tight)...hold the base and gently unscrew the top cap/chimney section while watching the wick holes on the atomizer reveal themselves...decide for yourself if that is acceptable , if not probably contact zen and explain the short tank problem and ask if you can swap out for a proper fitting glass, i guess... it also fixes the atomizer wedging in the chimney,
not sure how they got into the wild, but, IMO the ones that cover the wick holes should be recalled.
not bashing Zen, but, he should be made aware, IMO.
unless we got the only 2 that have the issue
Eagerly awaiting my third kabuki and the replacement stuff that has been preventing my 1st Kabuki from being used

My Radius is my primary mod. And I own one Kabuki with a P3 base. Mowing season is starting again, so I went to get my P3 out (have a leather case with lanyard for it in 18350 mode) and my Kabuki is doing the dead-short-dance again regardless of how tight I put the Kabuki on, doesn't matter if I change the coil (all are fine on the Radius), and yes, I got a new base last year as this was one of the first ones. So I am wondering if there is something else I should try?
I have tried a different battery, cleaning everything completely, etc...
Please note; everything is fine on the Radius, it's only when using the Kabuki (trying I should say) on the P3 that nothing is working. Have tried 3 different coils, 4 known good batteries...
Help please???

Hi Peter, do you get any info from the P3 screen? And have you tried the P3 with any other tank?
The P3 is fine with any other topper (like a Nauti-mini, etc...), but I love my Kabuki, and of course, I only have the one. This was happening when I first got it, and Zen knew of the issue and sent me out a new bottom for the Kabuki, then I got my Radius, and only used my P3 during mowing season...then put it away for the winter. Suddenly it's doing it again now, I don't know why, the screen just shows 'open' - but then putting it right onto the Radius all is well.
Open means you are not getting a connection. Maybe try tightening the coil into the base some more, or gently pulling the pin of the coil and putting a couple wraps of thread around the pin and pushing it back in.
Also, you may try pressing the o-ring on your P3 under the pin, either with your finger tip, or something smooth like a pen cap, that might help to raise your center pin up a bit...
Dumb question, but when you order from the Square up store do you get an email stating you placed and order? Cause i know i went and put everything in the cart and could of sworn i hit buy and put in the credit card info, but did not get an email. it was just orings. should i contact them? I really need to check my bank. lol But that is what my wife does. lol
Did you check in your 'junk' email? sometimes I order things and Outlook auto-filters and puts things in junk email that isn't spam
Good idea i will look there. I do most everything in the world on my phone. I just have a computer to write my resume when needed. lol
For the money you spend on all of this stuff (yes, worth it when all WORKS) it really seriously sucks you are going through this.
Call Zen, write ProVape, run to the top of the tallest mountain and scream, "I JUST WANT MY
TO WORK! I PAID A MINT FOR ALL OF IT!"I digress, I'm sorry for going off.
The good news is, what you pay for is reliability, durability and the greatest customer service when that fails.
Sorry for your troubles, please keep us posted.
About this - Maybe try tightening the coil into the base some more, or gently pulling the pin of the coil and putting a couple wraps of thread around the pin and pushing it back in. -I always tighten the coil as much as possible, but I don't understand what you mean by the rest of what you said about 'thread'? Could you explain it a bit more? I will also try pushing the O-ring down a bit as well...
@coldgin96 thanks for the empathy~! And I do agree with you. But @Zen~ was super-quick to PM me and replace the bottom of my Kabuki in the beginning when I first had this issue right after buying it, and it fixed it back then? Then I stopped using the P3 for like all winter and now it's mowing season again, and poof! Now it's happening again. So don't blame him! I do not know why it's acting up, but @Zen~ has given me great service!
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my rant. It's just frustrating when we pay all this $$ (I'm on disability) and we have to jump through flaming hoops to get a satisfying vape.
Also, I'm very sorry it looked like I was blaming Zen. No, Zen is not the problem but I'm not allowed to say it's ProVape and their out of spec pins/threading on quite a few of their P3's, which it is.
I said call Zen because he will jump through those flaming hoops with you as he also as sympathy for the frustrated vaper and just wants his expensive equipment to work with ProVari's.
OK, take the coil out of the base, then gently pull the pin of the coil down a little bit, then wrap some thread or dental floss under the end of the coils center pin, where it flares out a little. The thread is to help keep the coil pin extended just a little bit more, so it can reach down and make a connection with the center pin of your P3 connector on your mod.
The o-ring I was talking about is the one that supports the center pin on your ProVari P3, you push that in so it will go under the pin some more, kind of put a little pressure towards the center and work your way around it. It may or may not help, but these two things might just get you up and running again. Good luck.
I had to do the thread trick with some of my HH rebuilds and knew to do it thanks to ENAUD! Needless to say, I won't be spending $10 on coils that I may have to do that with.
I'm going to remember that "P3 o ring thing." I have spare's, to boot, if I think the present one gets wore down to much...
FYI? I too live only on disability as well, so I believe I do understand from where you speak (sadly)...how is it, 'you're not *allowed* to say... in a country of quote, unquote, free speech? Or is it, you've been a bad boy in the past, and you have been advised against certain uh..'actions' shall we say...under threat of banishment? If so, I must have missed the entertainment, ah well...and so it goes...
Lastly, I did not think you were blaming Zen, but I wanted to make sure that no one thought that Zen *was* to blame in any way, as He is most helpful.
