really? i tried pressing down on it but I didn't see the pin budge at all. maybe i needed to use more force

Don't!!! I did that and a inadvertent bump of my arm by my dog caused me to break to contact plate of the pin. It's two pieces press fit together. From testing while it was apart. I can tell you that the pin has about 1.5 mm total movement. That is shortened to about 1mm by the compression limit of the o-ring. Pushing on it will not get it to move noticeably and if it does the o- ring is getting worn. It takes a decent amount of force to get it to move and when you do the only way you can really tell is by how the o-ring changes.

Just an FYI for any new Kabuki owners. My daily work atty for the past year has been a full size nautilus (gone through three during that time) I have always had to tighten the coils to the point of almost over tightening them in order to stop any leaking. So I did the same thing to my new Kabuki and guess what? She leaked out of the 510. I was so bummed. Took her apart cleaned her up and just snugged the same 'leaky' coil. Fired her up, on three days now with no leaks. Beautiful tank. The machining is top notch when just snug works like champ.

This actually makes sense. The kabukis tight tolerances seal better and when you over tighten the coil you distort the o-ring opening up a gap that will leak.

Hehe - what IS a 'hairshirt'? And why would that be a punishment?

Kids today...

Do we have to?



I get the feeling ProVape isn't into lube with the Radius.

Nope, no need for lubing your Radius!

LOL! You always have the knack of saying what I'm thinking!!

And somehow, I've managed to escape the sin bin!!! Yes I have!!

I dunno what it's really supposed to be, but I've had it used to describe my upper body hair.

That's great! I thought this would be the way they'd handle it. And TBH, what company does that? I mean really? Just about any other company would have you ship the unit to them first, then send a new replacement. Best customer service on the Planet. Yes it is!

Noalox... I NEVER put Noalox on a stainless Steel device... It's specifically designed for Aluminum. The correct thing to put on Stainless is Sanchem No-Ox-Id "A" Special... and generally, For the shelf queens I put it on when I get them and never do it again. For ones that I use they get it when I notice something is behaving badly. I'm not on a maintainence schedule with these things... they just keep working and I don't think about it much.



Oh... it be real... it be very real.

Zen, ProVape sells NO-OX and RTD Vapor sells Noalox. Both are said to be antioxidant. I have both and both look entirely different. You are say, if I'm understanding you correctly to use neither, but to use Sanchem No-Ox-Id "A" Special. No problem. But where can we buy it? Thanks.

I am not Zen but NO-OX and No-Ox-Id "A" Special are the same. And that is what ProVape sells.

I think the Radius is using the IQ feature, but ProVape stuck it in the battery meter instead of having a separate reading in the menu like the P3.

If you look at that battery icon it is changing in real time.

So, for those of you who miss obsessing about your IQ; there you go.

Mine's off and safely stored in the Radius box.

Uh, er, um........I do NOT miss obsessing about IQ. No I certainly do not! But you're correct in your observation of the battery changing in real time.

Kids today...

I will admit to having no knowledge of a 'hairshirt' until today. However, the "kids today"... welp, I ain't no kid (at 53) and I found the following:

It was in common usage in monasteries and convents throughout history up until the 1960s, and has been endorsed by popes as a way of following Christ, who died in a bloody crucifixion and who gave this advice: "Let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me.

Here= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cilice

More common usage was during 'biblical times'...
