It's not a Provape product. The Twins will let you do that, I think Tatroe makes one & that German company who makes the fancy looking brass cap/ring sets has one as well I believe.

ETA:
Vaperev Shop - SS Twins
Tatroe Ring Provari Steel
(the name of that German company escapes me at the moment)

Ahah...got it. Too bad they don't offer these as an option in the finish of each mini. It would probably look pretty goofy with my polished dragon. It would be nice to use the 18650's. I never use the two 18350's I bought.

It's not that difficult to polish stainless. I polished all 4 of my authentic KFL's to match my Provari & Poldiacs.

Oh really? I could get it to match? That would be sweet.:) What would you use to polish it?

I made some jigs to do it on a lathe, but that just speeds up the process & makes it difficult to get it uneven. You can do it by hand as well. You just sand it up to 1200 (600 will work, but if you look really, really close you'll see a slight difference) & use a buffing compound to polish it. Personally, I use 2 different compounds, a hard & soft, to get it to match the polished Provaris.

Chrome looks pretty close but it won't hold up like the polished stainless will. You just have to be careful with it. If you want one polished up & don't want to put the work into it, send me a PM.

Or you can use a poor man's lathe... I took a philips screwdriver with a handle that was slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the Tatroe ring, and put the screwdriver in my cordless drill. I then wrapped enough electrical tape around the end of the handle to securely hold the Tatroe ring in place (the tape goes around the handle, on the inside of the Tatroe ring). Then I put a glob of Flitz polish on a microfiber cloth, and polished the spinning Tatroe ring for about 10 minutes. Went from brushed to a beautiful polished finish without much effort. Can't imagine how long that would take to do by hand.

I take it they don't sell individually?

I'm not sure. I think they sold it in pieces at one time.

When I went to check on the site Yesterday, it looked to me like they did not have any stock.

With the P3 coming out they may end up discontinuing those products.

Hi, an update. I wrote to the GR-Modders guys. They said if I am already using the 18490 batteries, all I needed was this~Provari extension by Kir Fanis - Gr-Modders
I ordered one in polished. I will post back how it looks with a pic when it comes in. Thanks for everyone's help, and thanks for the link FC!
