Speaking of Zenkote. Some months back I asked Zen if he would consider doing a make over on a V1 to commemorate my 5th Vaporversary. To my surprise he agreed with the understanding there would be no deadline. So I sent him this..

Needless to say, I had not expected Zen to hand engrave my device much less supply a matching engraved Kabuki. So I wanted to give a shout out and a huge hat tip to Zen and HoH for making my 5th very special indeed. And the Zenkote color? I was told what it was called but I'm still not sure if he was messing with me or not lol.
Wow - that's glorious!

I hope you're not just sayin' that, big guy!

I'm all for learnin' and not above admitting when I'm wrong.


LOL!!! HB, You know me better than that. How many times has my Texas Style of saying exactly what is on my mind gotten me in trouble here? We call it "Telling Exactly How the Cow Ate the Cabbage"! We aren't known for pulling punches. LOL Some can deal with complete honesty, rather than with all the PC Bull-S, and MANY Can't.

I am very proud of and for Zen. He has a real knack for Engraving. He was very interested in it , and went after it full on!

He has been fortunate enough, to get the attention of some of the Very Top Engravers, from around the world, who have critiqued his work, and given their support and guidance.

Zen is a very fortunate, and talented Man!

Sadly he is far to busy to be on forums at the moment. (This in answer to Kat's question). I can't believe one Man, can be involved with so many projects at once, and seeing them all thru. Very rare indeed!

Did anyone happen to score the hand engraved Kabuki Zen did for the one year anniversary of the Kabuki? Apparently he only did a handful.


Awwww...didn't know there was such a creature !

Same here — found out about them after they were gone. I was so stunned when I found out about them and they were all sold I was speechless. I wonder who is on the short list that was able to buy one? I am told if they do anymore it would more than likely not be hand engraved so guess machine engraving.

FYI for those interested — I have it on good authority that the ZNAPro will be coming at some point. Orders have been placed by dealers for dealer release a good month or more ago. I know that you do not like sketchy information but this is basically all I know. If you want to be upset with me it is OK but it is coming — just don’t know the exact timeframe.
This question isn't directed at you- just quoting for mention of the ZNAPro-
Considering it was never on preorder anywhere prior to 8-8 whose going to be able to sell it? PMTA been submitted & approved?

Yeah but like...it was free...
Doesn't matter. Don't run a contest if you can't/don't have the time to follow thru. Also, how much time is needed to ship an item? If this had been an actual purchase it would've shipped long before now.

I don't even know what threads I'm posting in anymore, I'm like cow poop, just all over the place :lol:
I'm with you there. Yesterday I tagged someone in what I thought was a different thread not realizing I tagged him to his own thread. :lol:
I think that comes from the fact we talk about the same things in every thread so you never really know where you're at. :sneaky:

Did Zen tell you that it was never on preorder prior 8-8?

You might like this forum: Dozens of "Coming Soon" Pre Order Items?/. It is only two pages…at the moment. After reading this what I can say is that we can all agree to disagree so generally I do not read these forums . I won’t pretend to understand and interpret the FDA deeming regs in its entirety. I really doubt though that Zen would do anything to harm his business. Just my 2 cents for whatever it is worth.

If it was on pre-order somewhere, the people who've had this mod on the top of their priority list would've been shouting it from the mountaintops! The link you posted is people talking about the same thing in every thread here & I saw no mention of the ZNAPro in that thread or on the preorder list.
