Couple days ago I dropped my ProVari 3 and bent my Aspire P3 threaded tank. The airflow adjustment is broken now and won't adjust. So, I head over to ProVape to buy a new one and low and behold, Radius!

Late to the party, mainly because I've been so satisfied with my P3.

Needless to say, I ordered a red one and a Kabuki tank. Can't wait! Looks like a badass little box!

ohmagosh !

He knows how to post outside of the Outside !!!

Now now. I post out here when I'm getting new gear. It's just that ProVape has made me into a one device man. No need to haunt the various device forums anymore. Plus I'm all addicted to American E-Liquid, so I don't pay much attention to the consumable forums anymore either.

In other words, I'm so satisfied with my setup that the board is obsolete for me up to a point.

If not for the forums, how would one learn to build photogenic coils?

OK... Second effort here seemed to work. Kudos to USPS and oringsandmore for getting the 015 O-Rings to me so quickly! I ordered on Friday night or Saturday (can't remember) and I got them in the mail already with standard shipping.

It's been together for at least 10 min, and I've been puffing away. More importantly though, I've been watching and the bubbles are coming from where you expect them to come from (the coil). Last time with the smaller rings, the (big) bubbles were coming from the o-rings. It would lose vacuum every puff and ended up flooding.

So here it is... The first Kabuki with a (working) poly tank! Thanks @zen for the advice on o-ring size and a fantastic product!

Thanks! And honestly I just wanted a stronger Kabuki... Haha. I don't trust myself with glass - no no...

I just posted the below in the Kabuki thread. Really it was as easy as cutting the poly tube to 25.5 mm length (that 0.5 mm might just be my calipers are off a tad or something... Because I think it's 25mm glass.) Then the larger o-rings are below to seal it off so it won't leak.



This should be the buna 70:

And I think this is the one that is currently on my Kabuki: http://www.oringsandmore.com/viton-rubber-orings-size-015-price-for-50-pcs/

And here's the silicone:

And again - Here's the poly:

Cheers I've copied that to my clipboard! I'm great at breaking tanks (not as good/bad as my mrs haha) and I'm not keen on the vape bands people use so this is a pukka solution!

I'll be sure to give it a go when I get a Kabuki (be prepared for messages pestering you for advice :))

Not cheap but a dandy solution!

I Use this all the time. Doesn't gunk up the threads. Use it on contacts and batteries too. Not cheap is correct but you need so little. Think a bottle will last me a couple of years. It's all the rage with the Reonauts too.

CAT ... OK, reminds me of the acronym for the City Airport Train in Vienna.

What else please, in your part of the world o_O :D
Oh, I only meant 'CAT', as in kitty-kitty, with fur and claws? This 'Cat' might be better, didn't mean to ruin the fun by being confusing...

I feel very much the same at times...

Like my vape journey has ended.

I am currently feeling the same. No urge to get a different topper, and the Radius is the perfect PV for me, easier for me to hold on to, nice soft fire button, and I only vape between 9-11 watts.

These are really good points. I've been "chasing the dragon" for so long though! Lol. But this Radius/Kabuki combo really is amazing. Then I throw the Kabuki on the p3 in mini more am blown away again at how tiny a very good quality vape device can be!
