Is that a green IBTANKED on your new one? I want that tank to match my zombie provari!

Love the metallic green, i honestly would have gotten that one over the zombie if it was available when I got mine

The caps are IBTank 22mm, but the glass/tube and drip tip are from Spectrum tanks (they are an accessories supplier here on ECF). Their tubes/tips are a little different in that the color is in the tube, not painted.

If you order a tank from IBTanked, you can tell them in "notes" that you want it Zombified.
They'll do a blood splatter on their "toxic green" tank.

Edit - oh, but Elantis got that deep green glass from Spectrum Glass and put it on IBTanked caps. I haven't got any yet, but their tubes come in REALLY nice deep colors...

I have seen some of those combos, and those look amazing with the Zombie ProVari :)

My very first ProVari was the White mini and I purchased it in the classies, it came with the extension cap which the owner said was never used.

I don't use it either as the color difference is very noticeable. More than likely just from environment, skin oils etc. - had they both been used together they would still match I am sure.

I think I got lucky. I didn't buy the extension cap same time I bought my ProVari so I was a little hesitant it wouldn't match. Image my surprise. Cap & ProVari look like they were purchased together.

The newest addition to my ProVari family arrived safe today, Green Metallic Mini w/Green LED....

Love that green! I am considering one for my 2nd ProVari, but am a little worried about how the finish will hold up since I don't believe that color is a zenkote. Does it seem pretty scratch resistant to you?

The coating on the Green Metallic seems much thicker than any of the other cerakote ones (black, white & bronze) - I am not certain, but if feels as if it has been clear-coated over the color.

It is shiny and a little more slippery - similar to the feel of the polished.

Wierd....I tried rebuilding ProTank coils and gave up in frustration. I yielded to pbusardo and Dimitris The Vaping Greek and got a Kayfun because I needed something to use up those materials I invested in for the Protanks......

First coil..Big failure. Second coil.....success.

I don't use cotton, I don't use a micro coil. I simply do a simple 3/4 coil using .34 gauge Kanthal. This equates to approx 1.9 to 2.0 ohms and 2mm Ekowool. I build a basic nest build. Wicks great.. On one coil, I get the occasional dry hit and simply cover the airhole and take two or three hits and that clears it up.

The coils last forever.

I use this build, it's VERY basic, uses too much wick, but works fantastic and best yet, is dang near foolproof. It's not sexy...but it just works....Kind of like the ProVari.

This is the the build that I always recommend to ppl who can't seem to get there kayfuns to wick properly. There're 2 it's either this one or the other, the navy nest is by far my favorite way to wick my KFL+ just so fool proof and a wicking circle of goodness ;)

@Elantis (or anyone with a much better eye for color than me) I need your help. I'm on IBT and cant tell which cap is closer to *gold* in color. Golden Orange or Old Gold. I'm trying to match the brass Cingulum Compleo as closely as possible.

Lex - I have the Old Gold caps, those are the ones in my pictures that are on the White ProVari and the Ring/Extension are the Brass ones from Tatroe. Even with the Brass shined up pretty the Old Gold looks good with them.

I don't have the orange ones, but on the site they look a little too orange to me to be a match.

Here's a new pic of the Emerald Metallic Green, I changed over to the Brass Ring, extension with the IBTank old gold caps. I was also trying to capture the "sparkles".

It was late, I spent most of last night in the "maintenance" mode for all of my ProVari's and various other mods. They all got some TLC...:D
