Received my Kabuki 2 days ago..took me hours to unscrew,after i cleaned up all the blood and bandaged my hand i have to say this is truly the best vapein machine i have ever used,wet,tasty,bobas bounty
i've used on Z atty's,,kayfuns,drips,krakens,but the flavour is far above those ones..510 Kabuki on my provape 2.5 titanium mini works great..took me awhile to figure out,i had a 2.0 coil and needed to up
the power to 5.0-5.3 volts.now there's no going back.
Next time you have trouble, use the allen wrench as a lever.
Glad you like it and it's working out for you. Must be that 510 connection...just don't drop it on a hard surface from at least waist high.

The next one that breaks on me will be the first in four years. And my Provi's have flopped, spun and flown in all kinds of directions. Had some tanks break, but never a 510 connector (knocking on wood).

So while they absolutely not be a solid as some other options, they're far from fine china.

And they always fire.

See why I didn't want to slip on that banana peel in front of you? You'll kick me.

Never breaking is still better than every 4 years. Zen has said he has tried to break a P3 connector and was unable to. Still, I'll give you this, it's a moot point if it doesn't fire.

Nah, I wouldn't kick you. I swear.

And I assure you that I laugh at my own self a whole lot more than anything around me.

Life can be tough. Laughter makes it better :)

Aw, DP, that's nice...

I've been meaning to ask you about your initials but have been skittish due to it's personal nature. Since we are having a kumbaya moment, I'm going to go ahead. What does, "DP" stand for? Possibly, "Deep Purple" or "Double Penetration?" :unsure:

While Mr. Blackmore lived in my town for a while, back in the 70's, it does NOT stand for Deep Purple.

Doing the math, that only leaves one option. So now the truth comes out. I have two.

It's can be quite convenient, since I'm walking/potential menage-a-trois. :lol:

OK, I lied. But it sure sounded good.

I was an "unintentional" child, trailing five years behind my two older siblings (who were spread one year apart from each other). My parents thought I was some kind of gift from God, so they went heavily biblical with my names.

Approximately 13 years later, they realized their mistake, but it was too late to change my names by then. Given a choice, once I entered my "teens", I believe they'd have opted for the name, "Ooops" instead. I'm not sure about the middle name, but definitely "Ooops" as the first given one.

Sincerely,
David Patrick... (born on the 22nd of June)

Whew! I thought maybe we had another Steve on our hands!

Thank you for sharing, now I know! That's cool. My best friend is named David. He goes by Dave.

Oh, lawd no. The world couldn't handle more than one Steve. ;)

And I go by David, Dave, " Hey, a-ole", many things. My kids have some choice names for me...

Test results. I spent most of last night and this morning doing nothing but testing aka playing with my P3's, Kabukis, Nautilus P3's. I wrote a long report and sent it to David at ProVape. And I'll go over with Zen when I call on Monday. If anyone wants to read the report, let me know and I'll send it to you. I can post it here, if you guys want me to. Nothing secret. I just didn't want to bore anyone.

Here's my conclusion:

Non-Ti P3 Stealth appears to have threading issues. Original Kabuki Stealth looks to need a new base with slightly less deep threading. From what I can tell, the threading on this Kabuki bottoms out in the well on the P3 preventing contact. These two items were purchased at the same time to be used together and have the biggest problem when used together.

No issues with the other P3's, Kabukis and Nautilus P3's. Now this could change, and I hope NOT, when the next round of coils are used.

At first I just went at the Kabuki with my hands,then remembered the video by Mike Morgan,I even unscrewed the air adjustment screw to get the Allen wrench in deeper and just couldn't budge it,after an hour I was thinking that it was welded shut and the jokes on me!..even after 20 refills,lubed up with eliquid she still needs a towel and major torque to open.Now officially my favourite tank for flavour,the airflow is amazing,quality of materials is
excellent.

But after spending the better part of today taking a critical look at it, I see that there seems to be a sharp, but shaved fly in the positive pin. I could use a swatter right about now.

(and no, I have not an glimmer of a clue as to what I'm saying but it's sure fun typing!)


Happy Katurday, Kabukers~
