I'll need to order one of these once the finds come in.. Got a ZAU headed my way 
I'm thinking it might look a little strange without the cap

Actually... I'm using one with my AGA-T... It does seem to add stability. Without it, the connection feels a little spongy. With the proring, it feels rock solid.
Can you post a pic of it with the AGA-T Bad? I like the aluminum, but it doesn't match at all. I use the delrin 95+% of the time.
My camera is out for repair at the moment or I certainly would. A co-worker's husband is an avid photographer and pretty knowledgeable and I'm hoping he can figure out what the problem is with my camera. Since it is the weekend now, it will be a few days at least before I get it back. Also, I haven't received the pro rings yet either.
black and alum with cobra's going to ask the machinist near work to make some SS ones. it will be like 4 bucks
does anyone have a picture of the SS and a standard size DID? (on a Provari of course LOL)

I'll take 2!
Gotta say.. I really like the Pro-rings..just got a couple of hippos and they really are at another level if you use carto-tanks - Love the airflow control and not having to fiddle with the tank
These were not really designed for carto tanks as they clearly state.. but they work well and are significantly more cost effective if aesthetics is all your after

It sits over that, comes on and off easily (as in will fall off if you invert the device w/o anything attached).
TBH though I've been thinking of low harm ways to attach it. The black will only ever be on my black full size, and the aluminum will be on the silver mini. No need to ever switch them, but I also don't feel the need to permanently attach them.
Hot glue comes to mind. Or maybe some kind of light double sided tape.
not the best photo, ISO is cranked up to compensate for how dark my room is.
I really like the colors of the Mini + AGA-T v1 & aluminum pro-cap/ring. Ring matches the battery cap OK, and the brushed AGA-T & silver paint are well, way off but from a distance its hard to notice.
AGR + Boge SR on the black full size. At first didn't like the metal hint they left at the bottom of the cap, especially on the black, but its growing on me (especially with standard cap). AGR isn't effected by the cap/ring as its locking base is the main route of air. Generally have the AGA-T2 on the black but been really digging this carto-tank.
Both have Youde/UD SS drip tips.

I am just not convinced that they are Stainless steel, as it feel and weighs more like aluminum. Not to mention the color being way off from any other SS I have. It feels like I can crush one by squeezing one together.
Also, they are really sharp at the bottom and get dinged really easily if not careful.
Not bashing them, just letting people know. But end of the day it is just a ring and does what it was designed to.

Just ordered the one without the taper from Sotong at Rampage Vapor. $21 w/shipping and I'm sure I'll wait two weeks for shipping from Asia. Now I'll have to figure out how to de-knurl my AGA-T.
If you have access to a drill press it makes it pretty simple. I found some random hardware (bolt, nut, washer) so I could mount it in the chuck.
Then used coarse grit sandpaper & about 10 minutes.
Looks so much better imo, left mine looking brushed.
The pro-caps/ring? Don't believe anyone said those were SS. I'm not familiar with the one out of Asia, never looked at it.
I'm inclined to think a pro-ring could be brought to a machinist shop & get one out of SS for relatively cheap.
Faxed in on the Mojo Wire

What I learned from email exchanges w/ BombVapor: the version 1, if you like, metal Pro-Rings were made of aluminium. The current production is supposed to be made from SS.
I don't own either, so... YMMV. <shrug>
I recently received a Pro Ring from Bomb Vapor. It's supposed to be stainless steel. It is very light in weight and is the right color to be stainless steel, but who can tell from that? This guy must be making a killing off of these for $20+ each.
