Beauty ring necessary?

[Coffeegirlct]

I have a bunch of 510 tanks (iclear 16) and one larger tank (iclear 30s) that I use, often. My question is, do you really NEED the thread collar (beauty ring)? It's a pain when I switch out from my 30s to my 16, and I'm afraid I might lose my ring.

If you don't even like it why are you afraid of losing it?

No, it's not necessary. It doesn't serve any purpose other than aesthetics. I suppose in theory it could provide a small level of protection to a dropped battery if the end hit the ground first but not dropping your e-cig in the first place is always the best plan.

I have a Vision Spinner II and an Aspire Nautilus Mini. Without the beauty ring it'd look ridiculous. But it's your vape, so it's your call.
On iclears I'd imagine they might get in the way so maybe you're right.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder if you dont like it open up the back door and throw it as hard as you can problem solved!

The 30s tank was given to me over a month ago. The ring was given to me yesterday. The guy who gave it to me claimed it was to improve airflow, but I don't notice a difference. I'm using a vision spinner battery and yes, it looks crazy without the ring but I really couldn't care about the looks when I'm using it cause I'm not vaping for looks LOL. If I was, I'd have a sick looking mod

I could be wrong but I dont think a beauty ring could improve air flow if anything it will restrict it if your tank draws threw the bottom. So dont worry about it. try it with and with out if you so no difference? Its really your call. In some cases it can add a little stability to your tank It might absorb a fall rather than just relying on the threads but thats about the only real propose I could see other than aesthetics

I got a speech at my B&M about not having my ring on when I was using a 510 tank on my mvp. Says it provides support for the tank if it's dropped or in any way bent. I assume since he gave me a really nice ring for free that he wasn't saying it to sell me something lol. But no, I still don't think it's necessary especially if you're really careful with your stuff. It is actually necessary with my protank2's now though, the threading on the bottom of the AFC is too long so it wobbles even if it's made a connection to the battery, so screwing the ring up a bit to meet it keeps it from wobbling. So kinda glad I kept them around now lol. That handy advice was provided by the wonderful members here too.

Thanks guys! I'll hold onto my ring for future tank upgrades and just sport the 'ugliness' for now since it's not needed for my current larger capacity tank.

plenty of people rock the tanks. from the sub ohm tanks to ce5s. i prefer rdas, but whatever gives someone thier ideal vape

Doesn't the ring give extra stability to the larger tank?

 

[Rsunderl]

It gives a bit of stability, yes. But if your tank isn't wobling, the only other reasons to have it on are looks and support if dropped.

 

[wolfknife]

It does give some extra stability and that's about it

I'd keep it for the bigger diameter tank. If you drop it, it might keep you from bending the 510 connector or breaking it off in your mount.
I've dropped my Tesla a couple times and it landed tank down by the marks on the drip tip. The ring kept it from bending the base.
