Well, that was it regarding Provari stuff. The others are an rDNA40V2, two GUS mechs and a REO. They would not fit in the picture.
I'm a humble vaper ;)

Didn't know you liked REOs raitizz, I'm kind of fond of them myself :) It's good to have a versatile arsenal of mods on hand, no?

Everyone knows Britney's the best.:lol::lol::lol:

You don't know the half of it.

Back when I was single and living in my trailer, a girl showed up at my door that I had went on a date with in a city 17 miles away. The girl at the gas station uptown told her where I lived. Anyway, after giving her the grand tour, she turned to me and said, "I'd say you have a KISS and Britney Spears fetish!" I told her I wasn't good marriage material and would never be interested in it. I never saw her again.

The furnace guy showed up to work on my furnace a couple of years after the first time and when I answered the door said, "Hey, you're the KISS and Britney Spears guy!"

Got pics?

Note 5!!!

I tried, Lex, but I am really a rotten photographer. I tried zooming in but they turned out so fuzzy they could have been anything. Sorry.

The best way I can describe it is that the finish has not chipped in any way. But anywhere there's a sharp edge (bottom edge of the tank, hole around the air screw, top edge, etc. the stainless is showing through more and more every day. It's only a couple of months old at most.

If you look at Astro's shots of his pre-boiled tank, notice on the lower right of the base where the quartz would seat. That sort of thing is appearing on both top, bottom, and around the air screw.

I know exactly what you are saying, and am seeing a gradual deterioration of my stealth finished Kabuki. It's not all that bad now, but I have been able to actually remove some of the coating with a fingernail along the top edge where there was a small chip. It's not a good finish IMHO, too fragile and very little bond with the metal. I bought the tank as a blem, and only got it for the price, I've thought of soaking it in paint remover and would do so if it weren't for the delrin in the 510 connection. I am really tempted to do Astro's boily treatment and just be done with the finish and go to just SS. At least we have Astro to thank for a fix :)
