Well the math will get you in the same territory but not the same vape. I do like VW though VV works fine for me too. With VW the vape is different because the power to the coils stays the same throughout the draw where with VV the power can change as the resistance of the coil changes due to being heated. Small difference but it is there.

The Mrs and I each have 2 Provaris, hers see more use than mine because I also have a crapton of other devices I rotate through. I have a shopping problem :D If/when provari does come out with teh VW option I will certainly be getting another, was going to stay with just the one but then they came out with the Zombie and well, you know ;)

The Beauty ring will cover the cone shaped top of the provari and match our 22mm tank caps. There are a few folks selling these but I dont think any are of US origin and none made specifically for our tanks so we are working on adding them. We also have a beauty ring for the SiD from Smoktech that we had them make for us. This is a threaded replacement for the existing top ring that is a little taller to take up the gap and sized to match our 22mm tanks. Need to get those up on the site for the SiD folks.

I can't wait to see your rings! But just so you know, the rings by Loki Lab that many of us are using are made in the US.

Hey now Telly, that is some serious upscale gear there... I have 2 Mamu Stealths :D Told ya I have a shoppin problem. Honestly I saw the opportunity to pick up the second and did just so I would have a spare, that little thing goes everywhere with me often as a backup dropped into a pocket with a Blue HalfLing on it. Great thing about it is just the opposite of the feel of the Provari and that is the 2oz heft that you dont hardly even notice in a shirt pocket.

My main device for the last month or so has been SiD 18350. Been thinkin about doing one of those chopped in half side by side versions like Vamo I have seen pictures of.

Pic please, Mr. OCD. I have been considering a halfer for my Stealthy.

I am with you... As a matter of fact, at this moment I am vaping a halfling and my SiD in 350 mode! Thank you for the compliment... I gotta thank MS Mamu and you, Sir.

Sure Kat, here is my Stealth with a 22mm HalfLing on it along with a Bronze Provari again with the little guy.

Ahhh, you have a SiD huh Telly, I need to get our SiD rings up on the site. Going to price them at a whoppin $5 and they are a direct replacement for the SiD or the Magnet Bolt (same threads) just screw off the existing one and screw on the new. The one I had Smoktech make for us is 1.5mm taller and a larger diameter at the top to match the diameter of our 22mm tank.

Unfortunately the Provari Rings will be more but that is the way it is when you have parts made Stateside. Still I am shooting for $14 or less on them, hoping for much less ;) I do understand how some folks price these kinds of things in having to recoop an investment.

We take a different tact in that we are willing to see our investment come back down the road. I figure we have about another year to break even on the 19mm colored orings and to tell the truth if I had the disposable cash to do the other sizes I would have already done them. We will get to them though because a lot of folks like to accessorize and changing oring colors on a clear tube is a fun way to do that.

Thank you so much! I knew the Halfling would suit the Stealthy but it is absolutely wonderful on the Provi too! Very nice OCD, very nice.

I'm eager to see what you are coming up with for the Provi ring. :) I'm in shoppin' mode!

I do have a SiD and other mods, to include our beloved Provari... So, I will be very interested in getting those beauty rings (once you have them avail) for my devices. I just visited your page (again! :)) and added the assorted color o-rings for the 19mm tanks, along with a few other goodies.
I do hope that Isaac @ Ikenvape can produce the shorty cartos for the halflings... I must say that Smoktech is not my favorite carto manufacturer, nor is Boge. But at the present time, thats what we have to work with. I am going to contact Isaac and see if can make a run of them... Personally, I think he makes the best cartos in the business. I am just having a bad experience with the Smoktechs I've got for the halfling. Don't get me wrong, I love the little thing; since I received it, I have been vaping it... even with the substandard cartos.
What I have done this evening was replace the shorty carto with a standard size (35mm) Ikenvape... looks different, but it s vaping like a champ!

I tried the Iken cartos and I have to say it is like a different flavor. I liked them but I like the Smoks too. It really comes down to what one whats from their vape, their expectations and their own very personal subjective manner of taste. Some folks want and expect a pure representation of a flavor, others who like myself just want to pretend to smok like that bit of rasp in the hit. This I think is the biggest difference in carto users.

Either way though the end result is what each and every one of us was after when we first considered vaping, if whatever carto, clearo or RBA is working for you then it is absolutely the best IMHO.

Sir, you are, once again, absolutely correct. I can understand and respect that. Nevertheless, I've sent Isaac a message inquiring about his version. Because I want to keep my halflings in the starting line-up.

gerrymi, I would recommend a 19mm diameter, standard (35+mm) or XL (45+mm) IBtanked carto tank... they are amazing; well designed and assembled by OCD. Also get you some good cartomizers.

Thanx Telly...checking the IBTanked site that would give me 1.5 ml. (standard) or 2.0 ml. (XL)...which is considerably smaller than I'm "used to".

The 22 mm, would give me 3 ml. (standard) or 4.5 ml. (XL).

Would the 22 mm look "stupid" on my iTaste VV?

Stupid is subjective, but it would look a whole lot like this! Lol.

I was just going to start a new post asking you about them. I favor the 22mm tanks, but would love to buy the colored orings for my tanks!

Here is a few photos of my new 22mm IBTanked standard on my itaste VV. With and without an 'ego' adapter - see for yourself?
