Picture of the 2 new I received Friday.....

[Spydro]

Best to show it's true colors probably would be my taking pictures out in the sunlight, and digging out my SLR Digital Canon to do it with. Doubt I have charged batteries for it, or a card installed in it... the little point and shoot is usually enough for now days and a bunch easier to carry along.

Thanks to all for your positive comments. I know I am lucky to have this special ProVari as a bonus to go with the Stealth Mini. Both will be even more special to me if I can get a couple of custom tanks or more made for each of them, the custom Serenity Gear for both that Tim has me keyed in for, etc. Heck of start with ProVari gear, but I am also stoked about getting some standard models as well.

Spydro out.

By the way bud, it looks great and thank you for your service. Cerakote at my place is on the house to all veterans, if you ever need anything done just give me a shout.

 

[Spydro]

Thank you for your very generous offer to all veterans Logan. You are a brother of kindred spirit.

And for the chat via PM's.

Those are awesome!! So great that you got them both. They're like a little provari family.

Nice!

If they made a Coyote Tan color I would die and immediately buy one. If they released a multicam color I would probably cry.


Spydro: are you currently in the service? I'm over in the Ft Dix area "loving life" hahaha

Nope, I did my time 1967-1971..... the 4 years when 80% of all of our forces that died during Vietnam were lost (over 42,000 - most fresh out of high school).

I think we have the same tank. IBTanked bold black swirl?

 

[Spydro]

That's what it is. Hadn't seen yours, but another gent here posted a picture of just a tank tube done Black Bold Swirl.
They didn't do a descent job on the "Bold Swirl" part at all, quite sloppy, so I'm going to order another tube to replace it and just keep this one for a beater or change it into something else myself. Might try a Mottled Sandlewood/Abyss combo instead - ought to go with both the Stealth and the DTM. Might even just get a straight Abyss even though it is 100% opaque and will be more of a pain to fill/monitor. But I don't want anything brightly colored on these two.

Wow...same time my dad was in Nam. I was born @ Ft Bragg. My dad was a LRRP and not to mention, my hero. Thx to you & all of our service men/women.

And ur new beasts look awesome. Every time I see that damn stealth, I reach for my credit card, but compose myself because my spending has been through the roof. One of these days that stealth will be in my hands.

 

[Spydro]

Thanks girl.

When you get close to the end where tomorrow may never come you realize the best things are not worth waiting for... it's well past time to get them!

I sent an email this morning inquiring about 2 more. Seems to be a pattern forming... they only come in two's.

I believe it was darkgear who posted the picture of the tube. This is mine. I just got a halfling for the mini, but am still contemplating what juice to put in it.

ETA: I would be cautious about getting juice on the outside of the tank where it might come in contact with the paint. Just by feel, I suspect there is an acrylic component to the paint IBTanked is using that might potentially degrade. Granted, I apparently vape one of the strongest juices on the planet and this may not be a concern for other people, but I have melted heat-set acrylic/enamel paint in the past. I won't be putting my favorite juice in a swirled tank.

The swirls are not bold on the tank I got like they are on yours. Rather thin and inconsistent lines that wander close to apart. Maybe it was painted after a two martini lunch.

Thanks for the heads up on the paint. I don't vape "PP" so it may not be as big of a problem for me.

 

[glassgal]

Very neat!!! All these 'special' Provari... I want a special one too...

Had to add, glad you got those before Veteran's Day. Makes them even more special!

 

[Spydro]

Some things come slow, but are well worth waiting for.

I have three custom tanks from Phiniac well on the road to being built from me with Jennifer's help. The black frosted will have the graphics I designed for it on it; the two Phinique wood tanks will be made from my exhibition grade woods to my specs by their wood guy down south (also a very helpful gent). It will be a wait yet as it takes time to get all the materials in the same places at the same time. But someday pictures will follow.
