Good to see this, Juma. I'd seen it suggested, but never actually tested, or tested it myself.

Just for info -- the steel end caps look quite fine with the Ti's. In fact, the 2.5/Mini Ti's came with the new tiny "made in usa" steel beauty ring (P3 top cap design) and end cap with the same Ti and dot detail. Only the P3 has all Ti.

As far as I know, there has never been spare bottom caps sold in anything but steel -- with variation in detail.

But you realize the P3 Ti end-cap weighs 10.7 grams less than 2.5/Mini steel end-cap? I just couldn't carry around that much extra weight if my life depended on it.

I have a steel Stealth P3 and a Ti Stealth P3, and I have wondered what happens should I lose or misplace one. Because, like you, I've never seen either on ProVape's web page.

Thanks for this. I wasn't sure mixing end caps between my P3's, Classics and 2.5's was a good idea.

I don't know if it's a good idea or not. And I wouldn't try it with 18490s or 18650s. But for my bad thumbs the difference in effort using a 18350 has tempted me to try it for a couple of days, rather than a couple of minutes.

And I might as well say, at the risk of having my house firebombed, I've always thought the springs on the ProVaris look cheap in comparison to the over class of the devices. Here's an end-cap from an innokin 135, which really never was a decent mod, but does have a nice looking end-cap.

You could open a ticket and ask if they will sell you one, worse they can say is no right?

I've never weighed the caps -- nor have the scales to do so. Even I can tell that the Ti end cap is lighter.

I do use light as a feather acrylic drip tips and Poly on some of my kabuki's, though. ;) (And may indulge in a Ti Kabuki, too.)

I do like light weight gear. :)

OOOH -- Enaud, I like that idea. I sure wouldn't mind a spare Ti end cap and beauty ring, or two.

How about having them finished in the new treatment of the custom Radii? Graphite Grey and Stealth could be wonderful, and even scratch resistant.

As they will most likely at some point offer the P3 beauty ring and Radi screws, it would make sense to throw some P3 end caps in the processing machine.

There's only about two ounce difference it weight between a Ti P3 in 18350 mode with a Kabuki and a steel tank compared to a Mini with a Kabuki and a glass tank. But for the week my Ti P3s were off for the firmware update that extra two ounces in my pocket nearly drove me crazy--if I'm not there all ready!

As you now know, the answer is yes, there is one on it's way.:thumb:

We just don't know exactly when it will be available.

I'm predicting/guessing that fans will find out more Vapefest Vegas this weekend.
