stainless steel smell on your hands??

[COHgirl]

I just bought a satin stainless steel Provari Wednesday. I notice a smell after holding it for a while. It's the same smell as when ever I am holding metal tools. My hands don't like metal, I guess. If I were to have a colored Provari do you think it would cause the same chemical reaction with my skin? For now I've just slapped some Di-Noc on the grip so I'm not touching the metal. I was considering a colored one only if it doesn't cause the same problem.

Any thoughts??

Thanks!

Why don't you buy a wrap for it? They sell them on the Provape site. Cheaper than another Provari, although there is not a thing wrong with having TWO Provaris!

Agree get a wrap to put on it see if that helps. If not buy the colored one you can always sell the other if you don't want both.

Yeah, what they said.

The colored ones are a special ceramic epoxy type stuff so it shouldn't react to your body chemistry. The new ZenKote color(s?) are molecularly bonded metals, so I don't know how those would react.
If nothing else, you should be able to mask off the button and screen and spray it with a clear coat paint.

Thanks for the replies! I think I will stick with making my own wraps with the Di-Noc for now. I am kind of thinking about some paint later down the road...

I've had the same problems but with a tank. I've tried everything and it tastes and makes my hands smell like metal. I wish I could be more help.

I'm using Serenity sleeves on mine. Though your hand might smell like leather instead.

I wonder how much a LineX shop would charge to spray one?

That's not a bad thing!

There are clear wraps, too. A lot easier, IMHO.

Why aren't you wearing kid gloves like a proper lady?

I just got a silver one also. But not the satin shiny one. And I was not liking the metallic smell at all. I was thinking in time it will go away. And now that I've had it almost two weeks, it does seem a little less noticeable. Plus today when I did my weekly provari cleaning on all 3, I rubbed it down with bounty paper towel... hard rub down. I think that helped too. Definitely better then when it was brand new.

The smell will go away over time

That gives me hope that it might go away! For now I just slapped some Di-Noc on it. Ugly as all get out, but for now it's ok. After seeing the custom paint job in the classies I'm thinking I could paint the crop circles pink....hmmm...
