Its for 2 of them. I know, because I lost one. It continues to back itself out, however. At least I have 1 more spare. If I lose another one, provape will hear from me. That is a weak point as far as I'm concerned. I don't change batteries, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Edit: this an obvious observation from the high road, please don't accost me.:headbang:

thanks Chris!:)

You just never can anticipate what collectors will fancy, but a good solid design and execution will almost always gain a certain following...

I officially hate the P3 connector now. I've had the P3 to 510 nut lock onto atty's before, but this time it's seized onto my tank. I've destroyed several pennies and dimes using vice grips and pliers to try to get it off, and no luck. I didn't tighten the tank any more than it takes to close the tank after a refill, but repeat many times and I guess it gets tighter and tighter with each refill.

@Vape360, @MonsterKenny - anyone have any "outside the box" ideas for getting the P3 adapter off my tank? I tried boiling it, and it's now in the freezer, and then I'm out of ideas. Do you guys have a tool for this other than coins, which are very soft for this job and easily bend and have chunks missing? There's not a whole lot to grip on a SubTank due to the airflow control ring spinning, but I've used a zip-tie around a rubber band with the vice grips and that seems to work - it's the coins that keep getting destroyed.

I think my next move will be to use LocTite (on the bottom, as not to block grounding, of course) so that P3 adapter NEVER comes off with a tank again. I don't ever see myself getting a P3 tank, so I think this will be my best move.

I have always coin tightened the inner P3 piece once, and never had this happen.

But, if I did, I might use a second outer P3 ring to act as a jam nut against the other outer ring, then wrench the larger rings.

If you find a way to get it off. Let me know. I have had one stuck on a 510 Kabuki, for a couple months. I haven't really tried to get it off yet. I just think of it as my P3 Kabuki.

I've had two different tanks do the same. The Subtank was impossible to separate until I used a pair of 16" Channel Lock pliers on the P3 Ring, and a second channel lock plier on the Subtank base( cushioned with leather) The other tank was a ZAU which I managed to separate without any damage.


Somehow, the two P3 rings are acting as a Locknut, like used on a propeller, and when they lock, it is like they are welded in place! I tried heat/cold without avail. I had NOT OVERTIGHTENED the attie, just barely snug, and in fact had used a very thin disc to take up some of the gap.It is a known issue as there are instructions on Provape's website, But those instructions failed me, and now I have a marred up P3 ring...

I had exactly this happen about 3 days after getting my P3 and Kayfun v4 (they arrived within 24 hrs of each other). I was eventually able to unfuse them using a pair of vice grips and a rubber band around the 510 ring, with an Allen wrench stuck in one of the air holes for reverse leverage, but I'm doing so I mangled the outer threads on the 510 enough that it only screwed down about 90% of the way, and the beauty ring is now permanently fused to the 510.

The bright side is I'll never have to worry about it happening again. At least, not with that mod.
