That is certainly possible. I've had the same thing happen for a moment - but I'm using the rings with carto-tanks, and can adjust the carto enough to make the connection.

Sure sounds like some rings are suffering from build issues. Some sit deeper (a la alldayvape), some higher (a la Qorax) while others prevent the atty/rba from firing.
It's strange, because my Kayfun clone works just fine. I only have problems with the iClear 30B.
I spent some time with this ring. If you don't care to read this whole post the short of it is the IBTpro is made for IBTanked tanks.
Too obvious sounding? OK, then you'll have to read on.
I wrote in an earlier post that this ring is tall. Here are some quick and dirty measurements.
Rings height measurements in mm from shortest to tallest.
In the shortest to tallest order. You can really see how much taller this ring is compared to the rest.
The IBTpro looks great on IBTanked tanks. The taper is perfect from the ProVari to the tank caps. The concave top matches the bevel of the caps so it and gives the most flush, gapless look possible. The extra height also solves the carto length problem with IBTanked tanks. Using other rings(or no ring at all) the cartos stick out of the top of the IBTanked tanks a few mm. You can see in the pics below that with the IBTpro the cartos are now flush with the top of the tank and with the other rings the carto sticks out a bit.
IBTpro, Kayfun PV cone, Loki machined, KirFanis, Tatroe ring
So it works perfect with the IBTanked tanks. What about other tanks? Well it works with the Phiniac but it looks terrible because of the 23.85mm caps. No issues with cartos fitting.
Here it is with the Loki SS1 and the GP SnP 22mm. It doesn't look bad but now we have some problems. The carto punches are now in the bottom cap. The top of the carto is well below the top of the tank. In the SnP you can see the o-ring. It has 2 so not really a problem.
Loki ring, IBTpro
So it works best with only the IBTanked tanks. What about Attys? I cannot get either the Kayfun or Ithaka to reach the 510 connector. Neither will screw down at all with the IBTpro. I imagine it would be the same for just about any other 22-23mm atty.
So the IBTpro, when matched with IBTanked tanks, is a GREAT ring that gives a great look. If you're not using IBTanked tanks exclusively, it won't be your only ring. You'll just have to buy them all like me
Hope this helps!

Ahh... this is so informative!!!
I've not ventured into rings at all yet. Mostly because when early on and all I had was the MVP and some Ego's, I ran into the problem of atomizer not touching the connector inside the MVP. Then, when I got the Provari, some of those same atomizers wouldn't fire on the Provari either, only on the Egos (forgot which ones now... not ego threaded tanks tho).
This made me super leary of rings, and I won't order from any website that care so little of their customer's item matching sizing needs that they can't even tell you whether it will fit the items you are buying it FOR. It's so interesting to see the side-by-sides, really appreciate the time you took to put that together, Darkgear! (even tho I still won't buy any on principal til these sites list their own specs).

Very helpful. This would have saved me some confusion after my first IBT order arrived 2 days ago ;-)
Dumb question, I have a "basic" v2.5, would a "machined"ring be the closest match for finish?
Not a dumb question. Also one that I don't know the answer to because I have not seen the Loki brushed finish ring yet. Loki machined is a decent match but without seeing the brushed one I don't know if it's the best. I'll get one when they are back in stock.
Here's the Loki, which I believe would match your tank more than your Provari.
I too have the same problem. I am (NOT so patiently) awaiting my Kayfuns and have had to resort to using my iclear 30b. I have ruined one coil already but you can try, ever so slightly, to pull the coil on the bottom of your i30 out just a bit to see if you can get a connection. It worked on one and the other...well, not so much. I just took my Loki ring off and the i30 looks pretty good without the ring.
Remember, the coils are very delicate so tugging at it gently with tweezers or box cutter knife is a must!
Good luck!
Just ordered the Tatroe cone and extension ring, both in brass thanks to this thread... 
Amazing work darkgear! I greatly appreciate the time it took to help and inform all of us. A great big thank you for sharing.
Smoktech Tank Airflow controller
The budget airflow controller, must be used with a beauty ring.
Disclaimer: I've never purchased this item (and probably won't either).
Edit: I probably will end up getting one, just to see if that adapter ring will work with the fantastic stainless 510 to ego adapters ProVape sells.

I have several of them, and for what they cost, they do work, I used them mostly, when I was using pro-tanks. I did drop my provari 2 times and the 510 on these broke off, instead of the ones on my pro-tank, which I was happy about, and plus these are sealed, so no juice would get to my battery connector. I don't use them much anymore, but I would recommend them.
KAS
I have a protank 1 with no airholes (only airflow is in the channel at the bottom, which doesn't work on the Provari). Will it work to fix that problem?
That is what I was using, the pro-tank 1, but mine had both holes, 1 in the side and 1 in the bottom channel, worked good. I am surprised yours doesn't have the side holes, but it should do the trick. Its just a handy little controller, When I bought mine I bought 6 of them, I was using a beauty ring with them though, it did not look right without 1.
KAS
Yeah, mine is a rather fugly looking brown glass protank bought from the local B&M. It was already an exchange for a couple of wrongly threaded tanks, so once I realized it was one of the ones missing the airholes I was still reluctant to take it back... It's amazingly ugly with my red mini, and doesn't deserve a beauty ring
