TEC Accessories Titanium Black Diamond Orbiter

I see the dumb club has added a few new members!

Just to clarify, anodized aluminum is not "painted" on, it is a colored dye that is applied as part of the anodizing process. It is a durable coating, but depending upon several factors it can "wear" over time, especially when handled frequently. Such is the case with the Orbiter, as your fingers will contact the side divots and rub the surface during use. The Black Diamond Carbon coating is NOT a painted process. It is a special nano coating applied in a vacuum chamber and is extremely durable. It will NOT wear off. The coating process is expensive, and requires a very large batch of parts to be coated at one time in the vacuum chamber (you are basically renting chamber time) therefore this version of the Orbiter is more expensive than the standard version. I hope that clarifies things a bit more.

The Anodized Titanium Orbiters are well made & last well. However, this Black Diamond Coating is not Anodized. If the Black Diamond coating is painted on, as per the Aluminium painted Orbiters, you’ll find the paint does tend to come off quite easily just after the TEC Accessories 90 day warranty period is up. If your going for an Orbiter, go for the plain Titanium with no coating or the Anodized Titanium Orbiters!
