Kabuki tubes fit my old fangled z-atties, so I'll take a look at those--THANK YOU!!

I decided to not go with prebuilt coil tanks like the Kabuki after being heartbroken over the demise of Ikenvape, and the carto market in general. Then Provape included two Nautis with my recent Radii order, and, well, dangit, I'm loving the ease of not building an rba. Dangit. I mixed the two juice samples they also included in one of the Nauties, and I'm digging on what I'm calling "Nuclear Berries." Holy buckets. Send help. :shock::party::vapor::danger::hubba:

If you like the deep solid colors, Spectrum Glass also carries tubes for the Kabuki/Z atties, #2. Alas, they have discontinued the smoke colored glass.

I'm loving the Kabuki and currently stockpiling replacement coils for them. :)

Congrats JoAnnW!! Im so happy for you. Hey the midnight blue is gorgeous. Now maybe I'll need another.
PS. I was happy to see ProVape has added our mini Usb chords to the website in parts at <$5ea...I'd written the zen dept
to inquire about what mini's could be used and requested they be available. personally, I left my original chord plugged into the center console in my car- since I drive so much. I'll be happy to have extras.
Are you and ColoKaren chain vaping?
I think mine grew on me- now its my primary.
Im happy for ya!
I don't see it there or under batteries/chargers either.

In case any of you dont know, the mUSB cable that came with your Radius is also a data cable for upgrading firmware. Not all mUSB's you may have lying around the house will work.

Most newer smart phones will come with data USB chargers as well. My older Samsung S4's cable works just dandy for data, although I haven't needed an update.

None of my Samsung cords worked for data when I updated my Radius. I had to use the one from ProVape.

Useful information that I did not know... Thanks!

That's very odd. Maybe the packet size limits are different, or something. I'm a former programmer though, not a hardware expert.

When I updated my Radius, I must've plugged in 8 or 9 Samsung cables (house is full of Samsung ish) & none of them worked. Finally had to go find that ProVape box with the Radius cable in it. Then, & only then did the update begin.

Those same Samsung cables will charge the Radius; just wouldn't do data.

I definitely bow to your superior testing skills and perseverance. I won't bother trying my S4 cord for the update, but I will get a bit more annoyed at Windows for prompting me to install drivers for the Radius.

Oh wow. IBTanked isn't doing colored glass anymore. This bums me out so hard.

"Due to time constraints we have discontinued color options on our glass tubes for the foreseeable future. please do not contact us to ask when/if we will be bringing color back as we simply do not know at this time.

We will continue to provide clear glass products and try to get everything streamlined to better expedite your orders. We know for the last few months some of your orders have taken much longer to get out than we would like and this change will help us to serve our customers better."
Arghh, I just ordered 3 replacement tubes for my Kabukis today from IBTanked. Hope, I don't have to wait too long! As long as they arrive before I break another tank, I guess I will be ok...

My phone cable will work on update, but it's an LG

Thank you but.....Oh believe me, it wasn't perseverance, it was sheer laziness. o_O I was willing to grab any cable to avoid actually having to go look for the Radius box which wasn't upstairs where I was at.

Hahahaha! I know that feel! I swear right now I'd rather just buy a whole new atty than look for the posi screw that fell out into my vape box... :facepalm:

Glad to hear you're set now. Congrats! Presumably you're tastes may change a bit, flavors being brighter.
Let us know which coils and settings and flavors you like best, Whoot Woop Hurray!:banana::banana:

ColoKaren,
I feel your pain, but Im forced to use Windows at work and admit now Im numb to it. Anything plugged in requires drivers...boring, waste of time and drive space...oh well-thats microsoft for you. ps I could look at photo of your Bronze Queen every day- what a beauty! I ho pe you sent photos to ProVape?
