Call the shop on Monday and we'll get a solution for you... so much effort, I feel bad that you went through it.
We have a lot of moving targets in these scenarios... I'll spell them out as honestly as I can.
1) Nautilus coils... great flavor... no... AMAZING flavor when used in a tank that can bring it out. But tolerances? Yikes... all over the map. I'm getting that dialed in and can make the coil seat deeper IF you have an issue. This is expensive for me to do because we do it on a manual lathe as needed.
2) The ProVape pin... WAY less than .5% of the kabuki sold have had connection issues because the ProVari center pin is set a hair lower than others. We have a test fixture that tests for the coil position to hit the spec of where the pin is supposed to be... a couple have been lower. Yeah, it's irritating when it happens, but the numbers are in the noise floor... still sucks though.
3) Optimism... I made some assumptions that didn't prove to be true... That I set the coil seat deep enough that the entire range of variables would be covered using a combination of the flex in the center pin of the pProVari, and two gaskets on the coil (one located on the coil seat, the other on the positive pin). As it turns out, when the right combination of tolerance errors occur, a lack of connection happens. This is easily corrected by lowering the coil seat, It's usually only an issue when you have a provari with a deep set center pin, AND a series of short coils.
4) The paper gap... As many people have noticed, on SOME P3s you'll have a gap, on others you will not. I currently own 11 PVs with P3 connectors on them... One of them ALWAYS has a Gap with the Kabuki... It ALSO has a gap with the Nautilus P3... the threads seem to "taper" on that device. I am not quick to say this is the fault of the connector on the PV, but multiple attys have the same results... I gotta blame the P3 for that one.
People that paid $90-$100 for an atomizer have a right to expect they will get a device that works better than a 35 dollar atomizer... it's as simple as that. But it goes deeper, you also have a reasonable expectation to get great service as well. Rather than killing a day testing every possible permutation of what fits with what... the only thing that really matters is... does this atty work on the PV you want to put it on? If the answer is no, it doesn't... please leave the driving to us... get in touch with my shop and lets get you up and running ASAP. Ya can't do that with a chinese atty... you PAID for American service... not just an American atty.
That being said, please, contact me, I will be out of the shop from 9/17-9/25 on travel, but lets get a solution in the works before I leave. When you call the shop feel free to ask for me, if I can't get to the phone Stacie can handle the issue as well. Once the ball is rolling, things move pretty quick!
