For My Next Provari Mini...

[Bella Chic]

...I want it customized like this one in the photo! I absolutly LOOOOOOVE the look of this! It looks so Classy and Beautiful! It would fit right in with my V2 Satin Silver Mini.

If you know who does this Customization on the Provari please let me know. It would be amazing if I could just order the Black V2.5 Mini, have it shipped straight to the Customizer, that way he can do his Customization quicker rather than it being shipped to me then me shipping it to him. Then when he's done doing his thing he can just send it my way

Thank you for any help y'all can send my way.

Not sure but that could be an embossed metal wrap.

A better view of what TheChic is talking about

It's a Black Mini that has has the paint polished off all of the flat areas, leaving the original Black paint in all the depressions

I thought I saw that in a thread on here. I believe it started as a black one and he sanded it somehow & kept the black in all the grooves and indents. Looks awesome.

I remember seeing that one too. It's beautiful. Can't remember if the owner did it themselves but I want to say I think so. I'd shoot the owner of it a PM to see what you can find out.

Links to classies. Both are black and flat sanded to leave the black cerakote in the machining marks.

There is a guy here who does REALLY great polishing for people - including high end mechanicals, sometimes come out looking like entirely different devices. I'm sure he could do this for you - I'll see if I can find his thread...

Nevermind that - found it, and he got backed up, stopped posting, and took a long time to even return some stuff sent to him. Bummer.

I bought the second one listed here. That is the one Chic noticed.

The first one looks odd to me. Did the Mini 2.0 have the teardrops but not the horizontal rings?

They are not "one of a kind" a Vape shop near me does this customization often. Last time I was there they showed me a white and a red like these. The red looked cool.

That would look awesome with my blue one. Wish I knew how to do that and not screw things up.

Contact Vape-N-Shine√ He does some fangtastic job indeed... and isn't that pricey

 

[Bella Chic]

Thank you everyone. Y'all have been awesome. It just looks so awesome!!! This will definitely be done, by a trusted person for sure. I want it to be done properly and come out amazing. Hopefully some one that does this will stop by and chime in. I still searching as well. I just have to have it!!!

You are correct. The difference between the 2.0 and the 2.5 is just the body design. The 2.5 has horizontal bands and comes in more colors.

You have a chance to ask ProVape something I've been curious about. I wonder if you bought a ProVari, would ProVape just send you the body, which you could have customized, then sent back to them to be completely assembled. All they could say is no.

 

[Bella Chic]

Oh that is a wonderful idea Ocelot. I have been talking to Kim about this customization and she said that they didn't do this kind of customizing but never thought to ask her anything like you've suggested. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, worst answer would be no. I will have to ask for sure.

If you paid full price up front and took care of the shipping price yourself, I don't see why they would refuse.

I was wondering if you planned to use an extension cap on your custom? If you want the round dimples at the very bottom to also have the color, you would also have to buy a matching color extension and have it polished as well.

I bought a Satin extension and had it polished to match the body. So the round dimples are shiny, much
Like the top cap. I think it helps with the symmetry. I don't have a pic of it like that and can't take one now.

I do have the 18490 extension tube from Provari and will be getting a 18650 extension as well. I'm glad you brought that point up as well because I didn't even think of that at all. That's the blond in me coming out lol.

 

[BernieVideo]

Here it is with a satin silver extension cap polished to match. So no black in the round dimples at the bottom

The hardest part is taking the provari apart. Stick a carto in the top, put it in a drill and spin it on sand paper. Start course and work your way to fine. Stop when you get the look you want.
If you want polished go up to 2000 grit then polish...
You can also disassemble it, glass-bead it, paint it any color you want then sand it.
I restore cars for a living maybe that is why this seems so simple to me....
