Thanks fearsome, but I was hoping for a U.S. vendor.
Tatroe used to make some nice ones, unfortunately they stopped and a lot of the vendors sold them off cheap. That was some time back now. I'd love to find a couple more brass ones myself.

Oh damn. I was wanting to use it with a Nauti Mini.
You never know, one reviewer stated that he thought it would work with any attie. I have one ring in my collection though, that gives me an open post when I try to use it, it came with a used ProVari so I don't even know who made it. Can I ask what you dislike about the ProVape rings. Sometimes I use these shims:
full
that I make, if the attie leaves the ring free to spin, the shims let me screw the attie down and secure everything. Good Luck!

I don't care for the way they spin and rattle
Me either, them shims I showed take care of that real good! For smaller diameter atties like my Cerotanks and PT2's, the Provape version actually work better once you shim them. Small price to pay for mod rattle OCD. I use a circle cutter and a hole punch to make mine, not perfect but good enough, you don't see them when they are in place anyways.

Another Innovape M1 Pro Beauty Ring

Caution, this one sais for cartos only in the description...
Caution when dealing with this vendor! I purchased their Innovape M1 Pro Extension Cap for my V2 and it made a lousy connection. The led kept blinking on and off from lousy connection due to battery rattle because of spring being considerably smaller than ProVape's. Couldn't replace with ProVape's V2 spring due to spring well being to small. Didn't respond to my email or publish my negative review. In fact, I challenge you to find a negative review on their site!

This guy is a wizard when it comes to home DIY fixes! Have followed his advice in the past to make accessories work.

I thought this might be a good place to put a link to this thread from 2014. It has a good comparison picture of the rings available at the time.

The Great 2014 Provari RING Roundup

To stop the spin of a beauty ring --- I've noticed a few use a teeny dot or two of quake wax or removable putty under the ring. Here's one post I found:

"Many of us have 2.5's with beauty rings installed. Problem is that the rings often fall off and roll under the furniture when we change our toppers (that's my experience anyway!). Here is a great fix for getting the beauty ring to stay in place. Get some Blu-Tack (or something similar) removable adhesive putty from Amazon, Walmart, Staples, an office supply store etc. and make 2 or 3 tiny balls of it (very tiny- half the size of a BB). Stick them to the inside, upper edge/inside wall of the beauty ring (equally spaced). Then squish the ring down tightly(push it straight down, don't twist it on) onto your Provari 2.5. Any extra putty will ooze out and you can peel it off leaving a clean and invisible installation. The beauty ring will now stay in place as long as you want it to. It's now also easy to remove by simply grabbing the ring and giving it a simple twist and pull. And don't worry, the putty comes off everything cleanly. I did this to my 2.5's last summer, and the rings have always stayed in place, even when carried in a tight jeans pocket. Here is a link to the kind of putty I am talking about:

Amazon.com : Blu-Tack Reusable Adhesive : Adhesive Putty : Office Products"
