My wife's Istick100 is beginning to wear out, the 510 threads are getting tired and I have airflow adapter from back in the day to help save her threads. I got her a P3 and received it last week so I hope this should tie her over for the next many years.
My disappointment in the adjustable 510 that is a oring that squishes a bit with a load of pressure, way more pressure you'd use threading on a atty...that I can get past. Its with a kanger subtank mini and the gap from the ring to the atty is what I can't get past. I bought a extra P3 connector and the gap is even wider. Now I have to manufacture a something to fill the gap and hold solid cause I can't backthread the ring to touch the atty cause my wife will surely loose it filling it with juice. I expected a bit of gap but not like this.
Glad I spent only the hundred bucks on it rather than the 250 I was almost willing to spend when they came out.

I had the same problem with my toptank mini.

Solved it by pulling out the positive pin and sanding it shorter gradually checking as I went.

Sits perfectly flush now :)

I wonder if when all the Radius's are gone, if they will close it all up without saying anything, and steal away into the night?
That's exactly what they seem do be doing. Kind of pathetic and sad in all honesty. Instead of fighting for our rights to vape they are taking the cowards way out and basically cashed out and that's that.

Kanger tanks have always had long 510 threads. I've never had any kanger tank sit flush on any mod. That's the problem with the 510 connector. There really is no set spec other than 7mmx.5mm thread size. Most seem to stick to a connector length of 4-5 mm but Kanger is always 5.5mm+.

If you want to fill that gap get a 6.5mmx 22mm x 1.5mm rubber or plastic fender washer. It will thread onto the tank and hold in place when you remove the tank.

Is this a pretty common size, and found easily? I did a little looking online and didn't come up with anything.

What a waste of impeccable reputation.

I hope and believe that you are both wrong. ProVape is not in receivership as they have graciously sent out multiples of a product when only one was ordered. A receiver would not let a company get away with that. In addition, we simply don't know what ProVape has done in the background to fight for the vaping cause. Perhaps they just don't want to blow their own horn.

At the very least, I think that we can all agree that ProVape has always acted with integrity in their dealings with their customers and have turned out arguably the finest vape products available. I will be very surprised if ProVape goes silently into the night, without informing their client base on this forum.

I always found them at orchard supply. #12 and 1/4 fender washers can work too but might need a bit of reaming and trimming.

Do you suggest ProVape submit millions in PMTA fees?

The only one responsible for your right to vape is yourself ... ProVape owes nobody and is more of an FDA victim than you are.

No but they can pare down their offerings so they have a reasonable amount of overhead to continue doing business and servicing and honoring their warranties.

After all they sold 500,000 devices at 2-300$ so do the math that's quite a substantial sum.

Can you confirm ProVape would not honour one of their warranties?

Even if we presume that you are right, for the sake of a conversation, what does it tell about person which uses someone's parents as a debate "argument"? Oh yes, I know, you didn't put them intentionaly in your sentences, it was just to point out how someone was raised, right?

What you are doing now is much worse then his reaction. Maybe he reacts strong on opinions he personally believes are wrong, but he didn't mention your parents even for the sake of making some "point". This debate was between two of you, no need to implicate anyone else, directly or indirectly.

You did worse thing then he did. And you did it on a so lame way, pretending you are polite and hiding behind articulate sentences, nicely mannered tone and using fancy words. But the bottom line is you insulted him and same time his parents as incompetent or indiferent of properly raising their child.

So, when we peal off all the fancy act the thing that leaves can be described as - the new low.

I have no idea what their plans are but I do know that I've received everything they've ever owed me, everything that I paid for, without issue. From my perspective, we're even, and I'd harbor them no ill-will regardless of what they do from here.

I do feel that it's a tragedy when a company, any company, can invest so much in what should have been a sparkling future, then have it taken away by the greed & self-serving righteousness of elected-and-appointed legislators (and the lobbyists who support them).
