Ordered a beauty ring to make my baby even more beautiful. Wasn't too bad before but dang! its so nice now!
Here's the before with my current setup (Pyrex RSST)
And here's the after:
Don't hate on the PJ's, they're comfy haha.
My gosh that thing was expensive. svoemesto is in Greece to those who aren't aware, and the ring itself plus shipping set me back 37 bones. Shipping was about as expensive as the piece itself, but I ordered it on 2/23 and it showed up today, 2/27. Four days from Greece?! Totally made the cost worth it. I've ordered stuff on eBay from California that took twice that long.
Anyway, its the polished stainless design. They were out of the brushed or matte stainless design, can't recall what they labeled it as but that's not the point. It looks fantastic, but doesn't quite match the bottom cap. It looks close, but not a complete match. From a distance or at a glance, nobody would know the difference, but if you look at it a little closer, you can tell.
It elevated the deck of the provari, increasing the contact point distance to the positive connection. Not too big of an issue on the RSST, I just adjusted the positive pin down. The issue I had is that when my RSST was screwed tight onto it, so that it wouldn't rattle, the intake hole wasn't facing the direction I prefer it to (exactly opposite the fire button). So I adjusted it a little and got the hole where I needed it to be, but that caused the beauty ring to be a little loose to the point where it would spin and rattle slightly.
My solution was to take some cotton and lay it in the ring so that it was between the ring and the beveled top cap of the provari, increasing the height of the beauty ring and presto! Tight against the RSST and the RSST is adjusted how I need it to be.
Sure there's other, significantly cheaper options out there, but I wanted it to have the stock provari look, and given how much I spent on the device itself, 37 bucks didn't seem too bad.
Loveitloveitloveit
