ohmygosh...

I was talking with DH earlier today about connections and such...that I would love a Z2 to 510 connector adapter...
I have a couple of Z2 Kabukis and other Z2 stuffs...

And I got to thinking that I wonder if Mike could make a Z2 connector swap out for the ProVari like he does the P3

And I am dying to know what the ZenPro is...

Hey, anyone planning on buying a new piece of equipment, especially one that isn't even out yet, 07Aug is the last day any unforeseen bugs or glitches can be modified or fixed. You better hope anyone who releases something new this summer gets it right day one. Think long and hard about some of the problems quite a few of us had to have worked out months after a release...

Nope!!!! I feel I'm over my shiny-itis for a while. With all the mods & attys I have, at the end of the day, they all do the same thing. Adding more isn't going to change my vape any.

I have more time being in Canada, but I really don't need/want anything new.

Exceptions? MAYBE another KFL+ or two. Ok, if my wife bought me a Procyon or whatever the highest powered device ProVape has available around Christmas, I wouldn't be upset. ;)

I used to get all excited with the latest and greatest, now I could give a rats @$$ about the nextest bestest 300W mod and new tanks that can drive it at 0.000001ohms.

More concerned about having enough NIC and coils for the long term, I guess. Like many of us, the 2.5 blem blowout got me off my .... and I stocked up. :)

I don’t know if this is what you are looking for and if it works with what you have. Also the colors — The ZFO has Z2.2 510 connectors at Body Tubes, Caps, Switches, & Other Parts.

Warranty work would have nothing to do with AUG 09. There are several more hurdles the reg has to pass before becoming law. But concerning what the new ZNA is, I don't forsee any problems with it.

I would say what I really think of it, but You would only pizz in my cereal again. Please don't start baiting again. I will not respond.

I meant to mention a couple of days ago that Pro Vape has the titanium Kabuki back in stock.

It remains the star of a group of vape stuff that I have some regret over buying. It's very expensive without a doubt.

But it has also become my favorite Kabuki hands down. The machining and threads are incredibly precise and smooth; it comes apart with much less effort than any other Kabuki I own. But what keeps me from feeling I spent too much is how it allows a quality vape that is extremely light. Somehow that makes it worthwhile to me.

I do have to admit that I've thought of buying another, albeit only casually. I'm glad I own it, but with the FDA train wreck I can't justfy getting another.

I feel like I am in the same boat, not buying another due to the FDA regs :( ... which is a shame because it is my absolute favorite tank hands down, I do plan to enjoy the heck out of the ones I have for as long as I can.

I have 4 Kabukis and just put 2 away as I don't want to blow thru my remaining 90-100 coils when I can use my Kayfun rebuildables some of the time until I know what the future holds.

I would have bought a couple more if the future was confirmed to be rosy, buy my Spidy senses are tingling.....

I've got about a hundred Nautilus coils and the same with the Aspire BVC's, I figure when I run through them the Kabukis and other atties will have paid for themselves, so I'll leave the stockpiling to other folks.

Meanwhile, I just ordered ten IGO-L dripping atties for a dollar a piece. Still one of my favorite re-buildable dripping atties and I have one in daily use. Going into survival mode...
I am still loving my 4 Kabukis and i use at least one every day. I am concerned about long term coils consumption though.

In any case, I finally coiled up one of my 5 (6?, I forget) IGO-L RDAs that ENAUD put us on to. I figured for $1 each (actually $.90) why not? Very nice for a backup RDA!!!

Yeah, I don't get the idea that it's costing you more now, because of the deeming, to use the Kabuki, B.

You are just buying them upfront, instead of incrementally.

The cost is going to be the same, just over a different time period.

Would you be planning on not using the Kabuki, if the deeming never happened?

Anybody who likes the Kabuki, just buy the coils now.

Inconvenient? a bit, but no big deal in the scheme of things.

That's the way I see it as well. I currently have about 40 boxes on hand and will continue stockpiling them until I have several years worth.

My problem is that a 5 pack of coils in Canada is about $15US. With my wife and I vaping, $3 a coil isn't cost effective. I buy them upfront in the US when I can get them for under $10.

If $2 coils are available in 2+ years, the Kabukis will stay in use. If not, and there is no proven Nauti RBA, they will go.
