Whoops!!!
I just ordered TrevVapor's Cingulum Compleo. Ugh. Don't ask how much. I won't tell you.
I never do as told.... How much?
Besides you've been spending like a beast anyway so you may as well spill it. LOL!

Well why not.... But first let me explain why I have spent money like it was close to it's expiration date.
I am an addict, a recovering one, through and through. I'm not gonna lie, at 5 weeks, I'm still having occasional fits of analog cravings. I HAVE NOT given in, but that is partially why I have to keep my interest up by buying exciting upgrades. It keeps me targeted on my vaping future. Also, I don't have some never-ending supply of money. But my wife and I just lost her pregnancy at 3 months (miscarriage) and I tend to shop compulsively to cope with pain. And pain doesn't even describe what we're going through.
So there you have it, a brief summation of why I have removed the child-proof lock on my bank account ATM.
The Cingulum Compleo came out to ~$100, but multiply that by 2 because I bought both the polished SS AND the brushed brass.
The week's total surpasses $1k. @ 2 Provaris, ZAP, multiple tanks, and LOTs of beautification accessories. So far, no regrets.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss experienced... Just remember, at the least expected time, life has a way of turning around things for the better.. I've been around for 50 years, and seen it happen time and time again..
Since my divorce from a 23 year marriage 6 years ago, the past 3 vaping has kept me in a better state of health, and mind. Partially because of all of the new and exciting gear to tinker with and enjoy. The improved health benefits have been the most dramatic though.. Hang in there!! At least you have some nice gear.. MUCH better than a huge pile of empty cig packs, ashes, and butts..

Also, if you want, you could become verified, and access the classies to sell or trade things...

Nice thing about the higher-end gear is that you usually don't lose much on your investment when selling, or trading for something else.

True that. We have been married for a year this August and have been carefully planning for children. So I knew if that was a good enough reason to quit smoking, nothing would be. But the initial shock of the loss was what we addicts call a trigger..... A BIG trigger. When I say addict, my drug of choice was ....... for 5+ years, and then evolved to alcohol. Anyway I have been on a winning streak every since I began my sobriety. In the last 2 years, I graduated my 5 year Steamfitter Apprenticeship, Paid off 30k of debt, got married to an Angel, bought a house. Suddenly I've got a lot to lose. It's a new and wonderful, yet scary feeling.
I'm applying all my sobriety tools to not relapsing. It just so happens that my choice this time is an expensive one, but I can see the bigger picture, and you can't put a price on living longer and protecting your family from carcinogens.
The vaping is keeping my creativity engaged. If I get bored or dwell, I tend to self-detsruct. That was the revelation that allowed me to accomplish so much in 2 years. Stay driven, motivated, and the reward start rolling in.
This'll be my last day off in a while, so I am modifying a Provari holder for the center console in my car. I'll post a new thread with pics and a how-to when I'm done.

Sorry about your loss... Congrats on your sobriety though! Okay, what is TrevVapor's Cingulum Compleo? I looked to see if I "needed" it Does it replace the pressed top cap? I already have SS and a brass Hippo's ordered and on the way.

It does not replace the top cap. It's just another form of a flush ring. And also a fancy battery extender. It was quite confusing to make the order. The compleo (or complete) wasn't offered in all brass. So I combine the compleo with extra brass components so I'll have every option. Quite honestly I don't know what I'm going to end up getting.
I don't have a mini yet, but it looks like they also have an additional tube component to allow the 18650 on the mini.
The torturous wait is over.....
Here's my smorgasbord of goodies:
Here is the big money shot:
And one of the Brass Kir Fanis parts:
So much stuff to play with while my batteries charge. Just as everyone says, it is shocking how much smaller it is IRL. I'm pleased that I went with the full size for this Bronze Beast. Also, I have been a mechanic for 15+ years and I have never and I mean NEVAR seen threads operate this smoothly. WOW.
Im relieved that the Tatroe threads are fine, as Ive read that they can be hit or miss. Also while I was patiently waiting for delivery I modified my AUX 12v cig lighter port in my car into a Provari holster. I used the dimensions from ProVape for the mini to establish depth. I didn't want the button to reside below the rim. I gave it a trial run with the Bronze Beast and confirmed that my dimensions were successful.
I will post a thread with pics of the car holster and a how-to a little later. And of course I'll be flooding this thread with pics of my new Trophy. But for now I'm gonna step away from the computer and just soak (or vape) it all in.

Congrats!! nice looking Provari and accesories I know you are going to enjoy it, now don't go overdoze on e liquids!! LOL
Gah, that bronze is simply gorgeous!
So sorry for you and your wife's loss, went through it also.
Truthfully, I'm literally going through one of the worst times in my life right now, and this forum, and all the amazing people on it, are helping me get some relief from the pain...
So hang with us awhile, we can all help each other while we wait for better times ahead

I plan to stick around. I am hoping to catch up quick and even bring new ideas and creations to the table. This is an excellent outlet for expression and escaping the grind of hardships.....
And btw, wife saw my new Provari when she got home.... She said: "is that like a vapor ....?"

Very VERY NICE pre Christmas/pre Hannukah/ or Brithday gift! WOW.
Where do you live??? (jj)
Im anxious to hear about the Zen Atty and the ProTank.
I agree they're top of the A list! For some reason (maybe old age&dental bridgework?) I cant handle metal in my
lips anymore.. so Im holding off on picking up the ProTanks. I LUV the idea of having a few smaller volume
tanks around for flav.choices, so long as I can put another tip on top. Menawhile most of my 4 daily tank choices
get pyrex and glass/acrylic/delrin/wood tips.
Ooops...gotta run..get my own vape mail at P.O.
CONGRATS!

Like watching paint dry. I didn't realize how long it takes 18650's to charge--was only using 350's for all my minis.
I have 2/18650 now for my mechanical; while ones in use the other is charging.
