They did not ask for a vector file. They asked for high resolution images. I figured it could save them time if these are being engraved on a CNC machine, but I really don't know. :shrug:

Actually I like this one best as well, probably even simpler & cleaner without the eye.
EDIT: sorry, that's supposed to be the PoM concept from post #501

I'm sorry I am still stuck on the LUMEN SEES TOTUS
I cut and pasted ideas from a few and put them together.
Maybe play with this one see what you can do.

The blackening is just for contrast. Every design you've seen is planned to be engraved. The black are the parts being engraved. I suspect that we will have to do the blackening ourselves, unless ProVape decides they really want to do a baked enamel finish on these.
Edit: @MasterChief68 I think most people would rather have the "Lumen Sees Totus" engraved on the outer rim of the cap.
The vent holes should be moved to bracket the "2014." Where they are at now is dangerously close to the edge of the threads. Even pulled back to the "2014" it's going to be close..
.
or they could be tucked closer to the space between the rays and the triangle.
If that's the case, I definitely vote for engraved.
The outer rim of the cap would be raised (not engraved) if everything that was engraved was blackened it would look something like this.
The vent holes could go in the recessed (blackened) part.
This was just a mock up. I imagine they will tweak the layout so it works the best for them.
Regarding black or anything else: people - look at the caps ProVape already makes. Ours will be the same. We need to make this project as simple and inexpensive for them to make as possible. If this one is easy, and sells well, it will increase the chances of them wanting to work with us in the future.
Could they drill the holes so that they're angled a little toward the center?
They probably could but like Ocey said, we need to keep this in perspective. It needs to be economical and within what their current equipment can handle.
Probably. But we're trying to make less work for them.
The vent holes could also be drilled partway through the top of the cap (where the spring is) and then drilled through the edge of the cap like just about every aftermarket ProVari cap is.
*google Cingulum Compleo if you don't know what I'm talking about.
My Last post about it,
I just see the Provarinati, The All Seeing Eye in a pyramid, with the words Lumen Sees Totus as one and should be together.
I understand some don't get the Sees in a latin phrase but to me it's same as the word Haz. I haz a ProVari!
Its just something that someone said a long time before I got here, and it stuck.
LUMEN SEES TOTUS
Lumen = Latin - the eye, clearness, understanding, the light, the light of day.
TOTUS = Latin - whole, entire, complete, all.
These words are used by so many new ProVari owners
Thier eyes now have a clearness and understanding of the whole entire complete reason what ProVari owners been saying.

I understand, and I sympathise. Still, we are talking about something slightly smaller than an American Quarter being engraved with equipment that isn't capable of the fine detail that the U.S. Mint is capable of producing. Besides, it will be shiny, it will have Lumen Sees Totus on it, and you want it so much...My Last post about it,

I get that the LST has been said for long before I showed up. But I said when I first got the provari, "now I get it" just as pbusardo said. In addiction, the the three new people in the saloon all said the same exact thing, "now I get it." When LST was first being used it is my understanding that the intent was a Latin phrase of "now I get it"
I'm only bringing this up here because we seem to have a final draft and the Latin translation for now I get it, is "Nunc intellego" just saying it's not too late to replace LST. I understand that changing the original saying May not be a good idea to some. But to new owners and members it may carry more meaning. My first provari vape bordered on a religious experience. It was the first vape that didn't miss an analog. It was the first time I could say that I wasn't an ex-smoker; but rather, a current vapor. Those word of, "now I get it," meant something. Then again I hadn't wondered into the saloon yet. And I'' going to get a couple of caps no matter what saying is on it. Just wanted to make sure that perspective out there; not really trying to change anything, i love the cap, and can't wait to get it. I'm jut putting the perspective into a way that may not have been considered is all.

Love it as it is. Liked the slanted eye but the straight eye is growing on me. I would buy it as it is. Any word on whether Provape may do the blackening for us? Or are we leaving it alone? I am fine whichever way it goes.
History Lesson!
The Provarinati "cult" got it's start on 04-17-2013, (Mars was in Aries and 4/25-5/25 saw three eclipses, two lunar and one solar eclipse marked the Provarinati's beginning) but of course there were ProVari fans long before then. It only seems like the Provarinati has existed as long as the ProVari. I'm not sure when The Ocelot coined the phrase "Lumen Sees Totus" though.
