@Vape360 - How does the vapor deposition coating compare to something like an anodized coating? I really like the look of the classic Cabernet red with the bronze finish, but I wonder about the durability of the finish. I have a couple of tanks (IBTanked) with anodized finishes that are brilliant and saturated with color that have held up really well, so if it's comparable, I guess I know which option I'll be choosing for my birthday next month. :D

Hello,

PVD coatings are very durable and hold up better than anodized parts based on our experience. This is the same process as zenkote. Maybe some customers that have a zenkote product can chime in with their experience. We have seen PVD put through some crazy tests and it still looks great.

You can also probably find some info online comparing the two, I just don't have all the technical details between the two. :)

Happy early birthday.

Is the Stealth coating on the Radius different than the Stealth P3? I have seen some pretty scratched up Stealth P3s with only pocket wear. Just curious because my GMZ is unblemished and I carry it out of it's leather holder when I'm not at work - In and out of wooden/plastic holders, in my pocket, bag, thrown on my desk...just wondering :)

I love love love your cat! You should totally do that!!

That's very funny, and that Radius config is really nice.

And to Sir Rod, thanks for your efforts.

You're most welcome. It was fun playing Game Show Host!

No purple???? Or did I miss it?

No, no purple, but you can get one with a Purple CZ button! I did! Mine's going to look like this:

I'm confused on the coating. :unsure:
Provape site says vapor deposition coated.
Now there's PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) and CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition)
But you said VPD :unsure:
Did you mean VDP which is Vacuum Plasma Deposition?

I'm betting it's incredibly durable. It's from Provape after all. I have a watch that is PVD coated and it's been banged around a lot and yet has yet to show any signs of losing the finish. It seems impervious to scratching. So my money's on this finish being equally, if not more durable.

I just was wondering which one it is. :(

Alright.... So.... I was disappointed by my own fault.... Lol. I had built it up so much...!

Now that the dust has settled, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to get rid of one of my two Radii, and purchase one of these.

Dang it. Now I gotta pick a color, and I'm leaning towards stealth... Aw it explains, the Stealth is now the first good (Zencoat strong) coat, followed by the typical ceramic black coating. Me likey the way that sounds!

Now which color to get rid of... Hmmmmmmmmmm

Get rid of the Onyx! That way you'll have your Midnight, and still also have the black device need fulfilled.
