Does the GMZ on the Kabuki match the GMZ of say a mini? Yeah, I'm wicked OCD like that. If anyone has photographic evidence they would be willing to post that would be appreciated!
No sir. The ProVape GMZ is much shinier. Same COLOR, but the Kabuki finish is more subdued.

My only GMZ Provari is a 2.5 with no P3 cap so I can't take a pic of the tank on the mod. I can take a pic of them side by side tomorrow if that would help?

@(Sean) — Personally I think the GMZ ProVari and Kabuki is the most beautiful of them all. The best part about the Ti P3 and Kabuki is the light weight which is definitely noticeable. You have a very nice partner. Enjoy!

Cheers mate. Totally agree and hoping the GMZ gets to Provape soon........ All the best.

Hmm - my new Kabucki P3 seems to have a "stuck" drip-tip - can't budge it by hand.

Any suggestions?

I got so frustrated when mine was stuck that I took pliers to it. I wrapped a towel around it first, and gently rocked it, so it didn't leave marks. After that I put some juice on the bottom and now it slides in and out, no problem.

Spot on. I read on this thread somewhere that the differance is due to the Kabuki being made of surgical grade steel and the coating takes slightly differantly.

On the P3 you notice a slight differance but it still looks good. Can't post a photo as my P3 is on its way to Provape but you can see the differance with the extensions. Well I hope you can. Cheers

I'm under the impression that the difference in hue is due more to the surface preparation of the tank vs the surface preparation of the Provari. The provari is highly polished, whereas the Buki is more of a machined finish before the ZenKote process.

I think I am good but thank you for the offer.

I would describe the GMZ Kabuki as a satin finish with the Provari mod as a polished finish if that makes any sense. Still a work of art and durability in my humble opinion though [emoji2][emoji106]

Damn. Broke my Kabuki glass. Had a Procyon standing upright that fell. That Kabuki whacked into another Kabuki that was laying on the table. Lucky I didn't break both of them. Note to self: No more upright standing. Ordered two replacements and what the heck... another Kabuki. After placing my order I checked my email. Flash Sale going on. I can't win sometimes.

@Zen~ I posted this question in another thread, but I can't find it now so I'll pose it again:

Are we going to see the Kabuki with bronze and graphite grey finishes to match the Radius custom metal finishes? Maybe sometime soon? Please? Pretty please?
