I've used 2 so far with no issues at all on a 510 Kabuki. I haven't tried one yet on a P3 Kabuki. I've heard of 2 people that needed O rings sold at HOH for the P3 Kabuki as they were a bit loose on their 510's without the slightly bigger o rings. Apparently, some of her glass came in a bit off size at one point.
I've enjoyed using Bedazzled decorated glass since my carto days. The finish is baked on and is very durable....not like FT colored glass where the color scratches off easily.
@tyleris12 -- I know you had a couple that needed slightly bigger orings. Did you perhaps use IB tanked o rings or HOH or both?
Yes, I have. Several, in fact, and in all honesty, I've had mixed results (and feelings). I love her work, but the tanks I have for the Kabuki have been quite hit and miss. Some tight, some too loose, some too tall. Some work well sometimes.
Yet I like them a lot!

I used the o-rings from HOH for a couple & they worked great. I actually just received 3 new Bedazzle tubes yesterday and didn't need to swap o-rings this time. Just need to remember that quartz glass can vary & won't always be perfect. Here's a quick pic of 4 of my 5 Kabukis....the three on the right are the tubes I just got. Forgive me that it's not the best pic, but it is only 4:30am...lol! [emoji4]
I still get that feeling every day ... been like that for a long time.
My vape setup is dialled in perfect to how I like to vape ... it is the main reason I don't own the Radius and only have one P3.

The ProVari 2.5 works just perfect for me ... everyday, I am amazed how I care less and less about what is new coming out.

Thank you for replying and your assistance! I think I will look them over with Jackie and perhaps we will order a couple we like and check them out rather use her as a vapocalypse supplier. They would just be for around the house anyway as we use SS when mobile. They really do look sharp!
Yeah, I just showed Jackie and she was impressed. When we get time, we are going to go over them and order a couple. She's making chili for her Mom and Sister as they are coming over to look at our new 1875 family heirloom house. I am going to hit the shower. Have a great day and vape on!
My Freedom Smokes is running their 17% off everything in the store sale again. That makes Nautilus coils pretty inexpensive!

I get excited every time I pick up either of my Provaris, my RX200's, Snow Wolf and even my Kanger Subox. I just get excited to be trying different mods with different tanks and different juices.
I also get excited every morning when I wake up realizing I don't smoke any more.
Just to mention - these aren't quartz. They are made out of borosilicate glass tubing which is very inconsistent. The decals are very, very durable and these tanks might be more sturdy than other borosilicate tanks since they have been annealed. I'm not sure if other plain glass tanks are annealed.I used the o-rings from HOH for a couple & they worked great.

Not to argue
but I just spoke with the maker and she said the three tanks I purchased, pictured above, are indeed quartz.
Thanks for the confirmation Tyleris. I thought so too, but could not confirm on her site.
Has anyone tried the Phiniac Kabuki glass?
Broke the original + 4 each of the replacement glass on the 2 510 Kabuki's.
The 2 P3 Kabuki's are fine, seem less fragile,,, so far,, knocks on wood.

The reason she lists several types of glass on her website page is because some of the tubes, like for the Nautilus tanks, come pre-made. With the Kabuki tanks, she buys it in a long tube & cuts them herself, so she uses quartz, since it's been the best fit for these tanks. She tried different glass early on & those didn't fit as well.
I'm pretty sure she is using both quartz and borosilicate tubing depending on the tank. Maybe the Kabuki tanks are from quartz tubing, just depends on the size. In either case, she is annealing the enameled decal tanks which is a good thing.Not to argue
Topwater -- The Phiniac glass is great. It's HOH quartz glass that they etch or frost. Zen stated that he sells them the glass that isn't 100% perfect and Phiniac makes them perfect by etching over the tiny blem.
Tyleris and Susan -- Cool to get the type of glass at Bedazzled for the Kabuki sorted out. I most certainly agree that the annealed and enameled decal tanks are a very good thing! It also explains how all mine have been perfect height and size as I didn't buy from earliest runs.
Love your new tanks Tyleris. I'm eager to get my gold, white and platinum ones!
And -- to make the list complete:
Spectrum glass or IB tanked for colored glass. Both are borosilicate, often called"pyrex". Could be some fitment issues that o rings handle.
HOH for clear quartz glass, polycarbonate, steel, gunmetal steel & engraved steel.

FT for inexpensive unknown quality in clear.
