"...like an enamel finish." So it's glossy, as opposed a "metallic shiny" that, to me, looks sort of like anodized aluminum?
Yes. Glossy. The finish is not metallic.

What colors does Zen do in ZenKote? Do you know if he does custom ZenKote to P3's? (vs. offerings to Princesses :))

So far the only ZenKote™ colors ProVape has sold are Gold and Gun Metal Grey. Zen has other colors, but you'll have to ask him about custom work. The process is expensive, so he has to have enough of a run not to lose money. Also, some colors are more difficult to make than others.

ETA: To clarify: mine wasn't custom, it was a prototype he made for ProVape to see if they were interested in carrying it.

ETAA: Okay, these are the posts I was looking for:

If anyone wants to get an idea of what is involved with ZenKote™, it starts at about 42:20 (I found the whole shop tour fascinating.)



(From the HoH website)

ZenKote™ is currently available in the following rugged finishes:

GunMetal ZenKote: The depth and look of dark nickel, but as tough as nails.
Gold ZenKote: The look of 24K Gold but tougher than Titanium . Don't confuse this finish with Gold Plating... it's MUCH more than that!
Aluminum Graphite ZenKote: Our first ZenKote™ designed exclusively for coating ALUMINUM!
Rose Gold ZenKote All the luster of rich Rose Gold but with a wear resistance greater than carbide.
Byzantium Princess ZenKote™: A really rich Purple that is just stunning!
Obsidian ZenKote™ A deep dark favorite that has a rainbow fade on flat sections... truly beautiful.

I seem to remember that HoH also had/has a Turquoise zenkote, which is very limited, as it's harder to do than the other colors. It sure is pretty though.

There were a couple of blues that were discontinued, I think due to not being able to keep the color consistent.

"Unique ingredients with an unmistakable taste of nostalgia"
Not Your Father's Root Beer

It's amazing...and the nostalgia thing is no lie. This does not taste like beer at all. It tastes exactly like an old fashioned root beer.

So, since the theme of the night is nostalgia, I broke out my good ol' Stealth Mini!

I love the turquoise and the dark gun metal. They're gorgeous!

Why do y'all keep making me want more stuff?!

It may not be the hottest new toy, but it looks amazingly cool in its Serenity Gear sleeve.

Speaking of Serenity, I touched base with Tim a few weeks back and he said he might be able to start working on some Radius stuff after the first of the year. I sure hope so!

Bin? Please explain. You must have me confused with someone else.

Indeed, I might have. The other gent was more just a hat. To paraphrase our dear Princess, I haz confuzed. :unsure:

We need people to post about new colors. ProVape has been adding them so fast it's hard to keep up. It used to be only two or three new colors at a time, several months apart, so you could read what people had to say about them (and see pictures) before you made up your mind. If I hadn't seen real pictures I doubt I would have bought a Bronze.

Yeah. Amazing for a company that's going broke - don'tchya think?

I'm not for sale anyway.

Tears are falling all across the land now. You're heartless.

Where DID you get that???? I want it.

Why do y'all keep making me want more stuff?!

Master Zen said that I may, so -
@Katdarling , the beans they have been spilled. And NO, @Pinggolfer , they were NOT wedding presents. Just a special test run that a certain feline and I happened to present a convincing enough case to obtain for our own.

It doesn't matter though, since nobody really wants 510 stuff anyways. 'Cept me/us. :p :D

He was even so kind as to pre-dress them in our favorite white o-rings. The white Teflon tip was done just for this picture. Matilda sits atop it now. She's a happy old gal, when riding a GMZ stud. :ohmy: :laugh:


Seriously though; honored, humbled & happy, I. Beyond words, we thank you, @Zen~.

Back to life, back to reality. I shall return before da turkeys comes out of da ovens. I hope everyone's well, and @gnees, sorry to see you were (?) in some pain. I hope it's eased some by now.

Thank you, TO! Princess ZenKote is by far the loveliest. The rose is also pretty, as is the ...
