Help dress me in Rings!

[Triphamr]

Hey gang!

So I have a dilemma, I have my Russian here and it's got that sandblasted, brushed metaly kinda look goin on. I will hopefully be grabbing my black Provari from the mailbox tomorrow, so my dilemma is... I see a lot of drool threads showing me ideas for the kayfun/Black Provari, but I can't find any ideas for the Russian/Black Provari!

Not sure how one of those black delrin rings from Loki would look. (anyone use one with a Russian?) Seems like that ring is a little less dark black than the Provari, at least the pic tells my eyes that!

It seems like the Russian isn't as shiny as the Provari rings I'm finding pics of. So putting a stainless one on wont match, is this right?

And then there's the drip tip dilemma... I can't seem to locate any straight bore trips to top this all off with. I suppose it's the whole sandblasty type look the Russian has that is throwing me off.

ANY help would be appreciated! I'm so nervous, I don't want my Provari to get mad at me because I didn't color coordinate it right!

Well, THIS thread has everything on rings so far. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/provape/541402-great-2014-provari-ring-roundup.html


I haven't looked for tips for a while, though, so I'll let someone take that one over.

I saw those threads, thanks for replying!! However they don't mention the finish of the Russian, am I right in that the finish of the Russian is different than the finish of the Kayfun? More like a sandblast than a brushed right?

 

[Train2]

Yeah, it's a weird finish!
That's why I jumped in when they made one polished batch. And I'm gonna get another when they make a black one!!
But for yours -
The black ring is delrin - and it looks like black plastic, not a "match" for the provari finish.
I'd say your options are:
a) Go for contrast - get a black one or a polished one, etc.
b) "brush" your Russian with a scrubby pad

For the tip - I'm using a black acetyl tip, and I LIKE it - it's not straight bore, but you could sure find one of those in black!
I just popped it on for kicks, then found I can do nifty things with it - it tightens up the draw, so I got to open the airflow back up a little..

Sorry I don't have a regular finished Russian, or I'd have it "model" a couple rings for ya.
Actually though - the ProVape ring MIGHT not be a bad matchup. And it's only $8...

Found these couple pix on Google - not mine:
Here's a Kir Fanis ring, I think - shiny contrast look

This looks like the tapered "Kayfun Cone"

And here's your black Loki

Whatever you choose - enjoy the vape!

My black delrin Loki ring matches the Stealth & Black Provari spot on. It's a different material, but the color matches.

 

[Triphamr]

Excellent! My Gogle-Fu must be failing, I couldn't find anything.
Thank you! Both of you, exactly what I needed.

I forgot to add that you can't buy the black delrin rings from Loki last I checked. They were out of stock & they said they were looking into doing some black metal ones. Not sure if there's going to be another batch of the delrin ones.
