my black one is getting a bit dinged up, but a drop from my pocket to the asphalt while getting into my car the other day left nary a scuff. Its pretty tough, but it does show some signs of wear. I plan once it gets bad enough to polish the whole thing, except for the crop circles, and leave them black. Should look pretty cool if I could pull it off.
CeraKote isn't half as tough as people seem to think it is. Especially against abrasions. It's not a deal killer for me, but I would've really liked to see it in ZenCoat.
Looks cool, but green not my color, would love to see it in blue, I got the red and black hybrid, but wish they did a blue of some kind, hopefully they will do a blue in the future.
That was my thought
It moved from 'NeedItNOW' to 'That would be nice to have'. Of course I don't have it in the vape budget this month - had to buy a new phone. The next time I try to clean my screen I'm going to use the gentle cycle. The normal cycle didn't work out so well.
This is not a knock, but i never could figure out why such a great mod and for the price, would not have a better paint job. I was suprised at how badly the cerakote wore ... and dings too.
Can't they find a coater/technology so that the paint job would hold up as good as the mod? It's a great mod and lasts forever, but w/out putting a wrap on it when new, I have found the Provari paint jobs just don't match the quality of the mod itself at all. And that is a shame.
Green looks pretty cool but not my color. Susieq6002 and I would like to throw in a request......

They're applying a finish over stainless steel.. pretty much no matter what that finish is, inevitably it's going to experience some wear...
Cerakote is used on firearms & certain custom automotive/motorcyle parts, so it's not too shabby a finish.. and there are much worse finishes out there
ZenKote is probably one of the best, if not the best, finishes out there these days... It's also a more-recent & expensive product process, so it will probably be a while for it to be fine-tuned, to come down in price, and be available in more colors... I'm happy to see ProVape teaming up with Zen
My satin black cerakote is showing a tiny bit of faint wear after a few months (mainly the bottom edges of the extension cap, and a barely-noticeable dot on the body where I believe it came into accidental contact with something metal while travelling)..
I don't really care.. Wasn't expecting it to stay perfect forever, and I know the wear will only increase over time
And for the record, I also have a non-finished polished stainless non-ProVari -- which has a few small scratches on it... Nothing is going to stay pristine unless you carefully pack it up & never touch it..
Anyway, just the nature of the game, and seems like ProVape has been doing the right things with what's available...
So... not greens first time around the block eh? Not that it's not sharp... just observin.

Don't believe those were "factory" colors - owner had them done custom!

These ProVari have been powdercoated. Much more durable than the paint that comes on a standard ProVari.So... not greens first time around the block eh? Not that it's not sharp... just observin.

Dang! They look awesome.
So, I guess the next logical question is... Where do I go to get a dark blue powdercoat?
