I'm jealous. 
OK, so something has bugged me for many months now about my P3 Kabuki and the 510 adapter to let me use it on my slant top ProVari's. It just wont connect to many of them with a beauty ring...so finally I got around to making it work. First step was to drive the OG pin out and take some brass pin stock I had on hand and do some test fitting. 3/32" fit the bill nicely, so I laid the stock center pin alongside my 3/32" brass stock and made a score on it a bit beyond the length of the stock pin, nothing fancy here, I just eyeballed it and made a mark on the pin stock with a pocket knife. I cut the rod on the mark and then sanded both ends to smooth them a bit, then drove the new pin into the delrin insulator till it looked about right.
I then took the adapter only, and screwed it down onto my new Black/ red 2.5 ProVari on top of the Loki Lab Black cerokote beauty ring to seat the pin against the center post of my ProVari. Then I proceeded to attach the P3 Kabuki tank onto the adapter, and ... voila! I have contact. Houston, we have a vape!
I'm just a ol'e country boy makin' it work for me DPL
Red neck ingenuity, ol' country boy...... whatever you are, I think you're aweeeeeeeesome!
LOL we both got lucky, but it's a pity there weren't more for some of the other ECF members who jumped in with the hope of scoring a "hybrid" too.
I LOVE my "Classic P3" !!
Oh and just a brief FYI update for those interested in the outcome of my attempts at making the "dreaded" VVTF rba work for my Kabuki.
I'm still on the original coil/wick from just over a week ago and it's still working nearly perfectly for me. (coil is getting a little gunked now) but zero burnt flavours like I was getting with the aspire coils. (I've even swapped back and forth quickly just to compare flavour)
I've lost count of how many times I've filled the tank, but it's at Least 5 or 6 so far...
I was lucky to get 3 refills on an aspire coil (genuine)
Very VERY Happy with it, and for me at least it's been a tiny amount of money well spent.
But obviously..Very Obviously, YMMV
p.s. The ONLY thing about this frustratingly tiny and fiddly rba that really irks me is how tricky it can be to screw back into the Kabuki without cross threading, due to the lopsided way the threads are designed.
And I'm sure Zen could, if he chose to, manufacture a MUCH better rebuildable option for his Kabuki than this chintzy third party option

Agree totally iBloke! It would have been a pretty awesome thing if many others had hit such a lottery.LOL we both got lucky, but it's a pity there weren't more for some of the other ECF members who jumped in with the hope of scoring a "hybrid" too.

G'day Sweetie. I've been "away" for a little while and have badly missed your humour.'Ello, Blokey!!
Good to be back now though! LOL
OH Yeah!!
Especially as we got ours on "special of the week" at twenny buckz cheaper!
I rarely have "a win" but this time I wish many more of us ECF'ers could have had one too
AND The tiny footprint of the Classic in 18350 mode, which at about the same length as a basic Evod/Clearo, is a truly wonderful pocket sized Provari for Us Tootle Puffers who don't need sub ohm mega watt power to get through a day of vaping.

Methinks they sold "one or two", Phil.
Heck - Just ME got "one or two" myself!
Ah, but did you get "one or two" of the "hybrid" Classics that were mistakenly fitted with a 20 watt P3 board and software like ENAUDS and mine?Methinks they sold "one or two", Phil.

P3 Board and Software in my new Classic
No NO! MY mistake!!!
The result of reading just what's in front of one's eyes, and not reading backwards. Please ignore me.
Carry on.

If anyone has tried the Triton Mini 1.8 ohm Clapton coil with either the P3 or 510 Kabuki, can you please provide your thoughts. Thanks.

A Kabuki rebuildable deck should have been made months ago. Not that unwashed pile of hate that is the WTFVV, but a simple single coil deck. Since the tyrannical gummint has laid down "it's" law though now it won't happen with a made in the USA stamp on it. Infuriates me. [emoji88]

Well, that depends on a few factors. A person could conceivably make one for the "other" vaping industry...
Also, a law can be passed, but if no one enforces it, then it is pretty much useless.
For example, in Oregon, it is illegal to vape inside public buildings or at parks. This includes vape shops. In practice, both police and most vape shops ignore this prohibition inside vape shops.
If you talk to a police officer, the vast majority say they have better things to do with their time than busting vapers.
I spoke to a smaller juice manufacturer, who made an offhand remark that he was considering starting a private club.
Not sure of the legality, but, regardless, it reminded me of the speakeasies during the Prohibition.
It's going to be a pain if nothing changes, but in the underground...who knows?
I've heard local talk about "private clubs" as well. This prohibition is not going to end well for our government, people are fighting mad about it...
I'll certainly agree with you about people being fighting mad.
The question for me is how many of us are there, and are there so few that our being fighting mad makes no difference.
For me, again, it's another facet of government over-reach, or mismanagement, or stupidity...Take your pick, or pick them all, the latter being my opinion.
Add vaping attacks to attacks on foreign countries, to attacks on our rights, to attacks on our finances, to...
I just get this sense of general indifference, rather than being mad (generally speaking, not just vaping.) Makes me sad.
As I was replacing a coil in a Kabuki this evening, it struck me that I've never had a bad coil in a year of using Kabukis.
What's wrong with me?
I personally believe that our numbers are too small at this point in time to be of any real concern to the powers that be...the smart ones among us have loaded up, and gotten ready to hunker down and keep on keepin' on, under the radar and we will be of no concern to the regulators. Their goal is to squash the market, and I believe they will be very successful in that end. With no market, there will be no further exodus of customers from combustible tobacco. They have already tainted the waters of public perception to the point where still smokers have plenty of sound bites to justify just keeping on with their deadly consumption of combustible tobacco. In a big way, they have already won, unless there is a paradigm shift in our press and public health officials stance on where vaping should be in the harm reduction scheme of things in public health policies.
