Look at them, lined up like little soldiers reay to fight the war on cancer! VERY nice!



My syringes say about 2.8Ml.... not sure where you guys are getting yours. But I do have a question... are you using boost? That may explain the lack of battery life... I run no boost and a Kabuki/Radius combo will run 2 days at 11 watts.
Haha great point! And there's a 2.5 mini just begging for me to pull the trigger on a p3 conversion ;-) If I get enough p3 threaded attys I might have to pull that trigger.

- Another Kabuki (fingers crossed on maybe seeing an updated version sometime
- Fingers crossed for another product from svoemesto. I've heard rumors on something for the MTL crowd and - - "here's hoping!"
- Calix after side air, p3 base, PMMA, etc. $ is earmarked and everything. Can't wait!


And I'm the same! EASILY 2 full days - whether at 13 watts KF4 boost 3, or 11.2 with boost 2 on the Kabuki. Easily.

I get 4 full Kabuki tanks on an 18350 at 7 watts before I need to switch out batteries. Seems to translate about equal to a Kabuki and a Radius with an 18650...
And my lord is the 18350/Kabuki combo amazingly small and transportable!

RB, I think it doesn't hold 3 mls ... I measured using a syringe, yesterday. I got a drop shy of 2.5 mls. Doesn't much matter; I'm not complaining! I was just concerned that there might be an issue cuz all y'all said your battery was lasting days and days. I can't get a full day out of an 18650 in a P3, either. Prolly I just vape too much :facepalm: :lol:

Or too often. I am a chain vaper, just like I smoked. I chew through batteries. Never gave it much thought. By hitting your PV more often, the batteries don't get as much rest time as a vaper whom may take less frequent hits on their PV. Hitting a battery in a more rapid sequence will drain it faster than letting it rest for a time between power usage. At least that's my impression of how it goes. I usually figure an 18650 will get me through about 5-6mls of juice. An 18490 will get me through 3-4 mls, and an 18350 or 14500 will give me 2-3mls per charge. Depending on device, and whether regulated or not, these figures have some wiggle room, but in my estimation, that is about what I get from the different cells. I pull my batteries as soon as they start blinking, never run them to full cutoff. And if running a mech, I pull them as soon a vapor diminishes, which is usually about 3.7-3.8 volts resting voltage.

Well the day has finally come. 6 days vaping at 11 watts, and a handful of tanks ran through my Kayfun v4 - it is officially on the charger for the first time since the initial charge on Monday when I received it. There was a little life left registering on the meter but figure I'd best charge it before work tomorrow.

Truly impressive.

That's got to be the record so far.

Hey @zen ... How often you clean the threads and no-lox ... weekly? monthly? ;)

Just stuck the Radius on the charger.

Left the screen on so I could see what it does.

Screen turned off, but if you punch the button it shows a little lightning bolt in the charge box.

I like that. Doesn't need to stay lit for me anyway.

I don't think I saw that with the display off.

Gonna check that.

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.

I do love Zen's collection ... it's like one of those ... really? that can't be real :)

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

Okay, after using it for several days:

1. For some odd reason, all my tanks seem to sit flush on the 510 even though the 510 is not spring loaded. Some people won't like that but i'm sure Provape did it on purpose so its stays 100% sealed against any juices leaking inside the mod. And i'm perfectly fine with a fixed pin cause I trust Provape

2. No more noalox!!!!!!!! I HATED how gritty the 2.5 provari would get after time and had to constantly clean out the old noalox and apply a new paste just to get it even somewhat smooth, those days are long gone, thank god!

Hi USMCotaku,

Sorry to hear about the issue. This is the first time I've heard about that one. We will certainly take good care of you and figure out what's going on. We will respond to your ticket tomorrow and also talk to the engineers to see what they think.

We like to learn as much as possible about any issues so we can mature the product and diagnose any bugs. It's likely we will swap units so we can look over your device.
I was just going to live with it, till someone mentioned you may want to know

I made it to tank 6 (kabuki) Before it died (suddenly, since battery bar still said full up to then [emoji14])

It''s not really a fixed pin, it has some "give" to it. But it's not spring loaded either. Kind of a cool solution.

Thank my dearest. Perhaps this link will take one directly to the video:

Go to about the 4 minute mark. I haven't myself measured my Kabuki as I don't fill via syringe. Maybe @zen will pop in and say exactly how much he designed it to hold?


Thank you, 'Brow. :)

They always want to know. I imagine even if the problem is from user error, or even dropped, it's something they might keep in mind when designing a new product and choosing the component materials.
