SerenityGear Leather - Short Sleeve! And new designs!

[COHgirl]

Is that leather stopper just glued in? I use a Mini in 18350 mode with a Serenity sleeve. It would be pretty cool if I could remove the stopper and then use a Tatroe extender ring and the upcoming Provarinati end cap.

I put the Tatroe extender on my mini and it comes out to the bottom of the sleeve I modified and the new bottomless sleeve I ordered in the regular size. If you are into creating what you want out of what someone else made, I would do it. It is nice not to have to slide it over the Provari every time you change the battery. Bear in mind that the leather probably will relax down the road. The bottomless sleeves are $20, I think, if you don't want to take the stopper out of yours.

Here are some of the sleeves that I own, some of my Provari's as well, note the tape on the mini, in the 1st pic on the right, has been removed, I had it on it to keep it from moving in the sleeve.

Thanks. When Cigtechs has Tatroe rings in stock again, I’ll probably modify the sleeve I have, unless Tim makes some brown bottomless sleeves. I’m not really worried about my sleeve getting too loose. I had to stretch it out a little just so I get my Provari out without too much trouble.

How did you get the blue color off your dolphin sleeve?

Soap and sandpaper. I conditioned the leather later. I like to rehab leather purses so I already had stuff around to clean it up with.

You are not talking about me but I do want one! And the one available is a mini, which means I need a mini Provari and the funds are not available for either right now. =C

I just received a really unexpected check in the mail today!

I will be taking 1 of the 2 purple ones available ^.^

Now to decide which mini to pair it with. I want a green one.. but the shade I desire only exists on the hybrid of which I have in standard and doesn't seem to be available in mini.

The black one direct from Provape is most likely the one I will buy. But I am curious as to how the finish holds up with use of the Serenity Gear sleeves. My blue/green seems to be fairing very well and I am positive that it would be far worse off with out the sleeve by now. I only ask because the majority used black Provari' seem to have more wear on the finish as opposed to other colors that I have seen.

I suppose it really doesn't matter as it would be mostly kept in the sleeve... Thoughts?

My Black/Red Hybrid has been in a SGL sleeve for 6 weeks and looks none the worse for wear.

I like my sleeve snug. I soaked it in warm water, warmed in oven @ 160F to dry and to Sno-Seal it. Good stuff.

Warning - Sno-Seal darkens lighter leather. My brown sleeves are almost black.

The most durable finish's are the all stainless, or the Zen coat finishes, I never really liked the colors they offer, other then the black, but I have seen several pics of the wear on them, so no colors for me.

Ah yes so far I have not seen a zen coat that I like, royal purple metallic would be nice though.

The thought of stainless steel just doesn't make me giddy.

Thanks for the info Mowgli & Kas!

I'm going to take a chance and get the black mini with green LED and pair it with the mentioned sleeve.

Thanks for this tip! I just got a black Tatroe ring. It sticks out of the bottom of my regular SG sleeve about 1/8 of an inch with the stopper removed. I love it!

Now if I only had a custom Provarinati end cap........ Has anyone heard anything about them from Provape lately?

I'd love to see a picture too!

I’m pretty backward when it come to technology. Heck, I don’t even have a camera on my flip phone. My wife has a digital camera, but the battery’s dead. I’ll try to get a picture posted tomorrow.

This is my dark brown SG sleeve. It’s made for a Mini with a regular end cap, but I removed the stopper ring so that my Tatroe extension will stick through the bottom. Now I can change the 18490 battery without taking off the sleeve.

These are really cool. I personally prefer the look, feel, and slender profile of the exposed satin silver, but if I ever decide to get a sleeve this will be it for sure.

These sleeves are great for someone who slips their Provari in the back pocket of their jeans. No worries about it firing when you bend over to pick something up. BTDT!

Yeah, whatever anybody wants to do with their ProVari's is cool with me. The sleeves look cool. I had J-Wraps for my ProVari and spare. My girlfriend had a J-Wrap for her ProVari Mini but we both decided we liked the looks of them naked. My main one is Satin Black, spare is Chrome Black. Hers is Blue.

If they get beat up, it adds to their character.

I do have a couple of different holsters from Serenity and Jacki has a lanyard that can double as a holster from him too.

Appreciates the pics, always good to see.

Just got my first serenity sleeve, impulse buy, and it looks GREAT!

Haven't put it on yet - I have a question!

I guess I just didn't think it through - but the sleeve is gonna be TIGHT, but you have to take it off every time you change your battery...so - if you have a colored one - you pull your provari in and out of a sleeve every day, and it doesn't scratch up the color?


Just checking!


Oh - I got a "bargains" version of this one - the leather developed what Tim considered a "flaw" - but I think it looks just fine - it's leather, and not supposed to be "perfect"...

That is a nice looking sleeve! Mine was very tight at first but has loosened up a little bit with use, and yes I have to slide it up and out to change the battery. I use it on the satin black and have not noticed any scratches from the leather sleeve.

 

[lizziebith]

I had a tough time with the "snug" fit sleeves, and only order the loose ones now. My husband had to make travel dowels for my purse in case we needed to change batts on the go with the snugs. As to scratching, yes, that is now a concern. Still, they are works of art!
