Are you two toying with me?

It's the infamous paper thin gap between the Kabuki and top cap of some of the earlier P3's.
It doesn't affect just the Kabuki, my kayfun V4's suffer the same problem. Though it's just the P3 threaded ones, the one with a 510 connection doesn't have it.

I think Charlie should be the next beta tester.

Now that's funny. Truth is he was a technical writer for many years. He used to write all the user manuals for Lexmark Printers. What's funny about that is he still can't operate the remote control for our Entertainment system! And have the time I have to show him to get out of or into a program on his laptop.

Can someone give the short version of what this says..... It's too long to read.
In a nutshell, all vapor product will need to be submitted for approval, they have two years and one month from when this deeming gets finalized to do so. Then the FDA has one year to review the application.

At the end of that year if the product hasn't been granted an approval, it must be removed from the market.

It would then be illegal to sell that product, even if the FDA didn't even look at the application yet! It is as bad as was expected, maybe worse.

Here is what will likely survive:

I still smoke the odd cigar (but have hundreds of great Cubans) and the FDA just did the exact same thing with premium cigars in this mess. Basically put the bulk of small American producers out of business within the next 2-3 years. I don't see how/why a child would buy a $10-20 cigar any more than I can see a child buying a $20 bottle of juice and a $10 battery, a $50 mod, a pack of $15 coils, etc, etc, etc., but I don't work for your FDA.

In any case, I am (selfishly, sorry) glad that I have a dozen reliable Provaris, enough NIC for 15-20 years and enough tanks and coil supplies to last me decades. Add another litre or two of NIC that I shall procure shortly, I will very likely be able to smoke cigars (I don't inhale :p) and vape happily until I take a dirt nap.

This really sucks, but unless y'all want to be going to the 7-11 to buy Njoy, Blu and Vuse replacement cartridges at all hours (remember the good old smoking days?), I would strongly advise learning how to DIY juice and coils and stock up. Not a huge rush, but I wouldnt wait a year or anything.

My joy at receiving my 1st GMZ P3 (blem) has been overshadowed by this latest FDA mess... anyway it is absolutely beautiful, right up there with my GMZ 2.5 mini. No flaws detected!

Is the GMZ P3 being discontinued? The only GMZ P3's are on the "Specials" page along with the blem 2.5's.

I better hurry up and get the GMZ Kabuki before that's gone too (Hope not though).

Congrats!

My GMZ 2.5 is on its way back to ProVape to get a P3 cap. Best of both worlds unless you need to vape 15-18W IMO...

At what cost?

Curious, Jim
$20-ish? I did 3. Think it is $66-69 total with free shipping (to NYC as I will have them shipped to my hotel).

I was going to go the Zen route but he must be busy as I didn't hear back from him and I am not the most patient guy. :)
