LOL - wait what are we talking about.
I have been wondering all the time why the battery is part of the package. And then about the 40 seconds for replacement.
Maybe we need a crowbar for the task
In this case, of course, 35 seconds is not bad!
See, I'm slow. I do most anything important slowly, and with great forethought. My lovely wife says I am very ...., and everything must be done in a certain order, and it's not done until it's completely done.
@Vape360
Just a idea, but even with the ghostwhite manufacturing delay, you guys should still offer it up for pre-order on Tuesday and just mark it as "shipping in 4 weeks (or whenever)."
Allows us absentminded peeps to order, forget that we have anything coming and then be pleasantly surprised when it shows up......

Good question.
We have simplified the menu since the extra button can take on functions.
Holding the two small buttons for three seconds will lock the set wattage.
Holding all three buttons down for three seconds, has the following functions:
Cleans your place
Makes you dinner
Mows the lawn
And finally, toggles the power on/off
Wait..........I still have to wash the car myself???
Because, like my repeated suggestion to ProVape (not that I was the reason for their decision), it guarantees you'll get an authentic battery that is capable of handling the current that 40W will require throughout the battery's charge cycle, within ProVape's safety margin. It also limits their liability in the event something bad happens, if you're not using the battery they provided and recommend. It relieves you the burden of finding a battery that meets their specs, and your responsibility to research to know how to tell an authentic from a fake. It also adds convenience, especially for those who have been using 18350's or 18490/500's and don't have any 18650's.
Yes John, all this is perfectly sensible, of course. But as far as I know, Provape does not do this, except for the beginners' kit? This is why I was wondering why they should do it with Radius and together with Vape360's 35-40 seconds "loading time" ... I was/am just puzzled
(plus the mysterious remark "wait what are we talking about" )

IMHO, ProVape are 'stepping out of their comfort zone' by doubling the power of the P3, and they want to make sure it's done properly of course. Seems to me the battery isn't meant to be removed, but constantly charged from the USB port. At 800mA charge rate, it won't take much to keep a reasonable charge all day, even at 40W. But, if you have to remove it, it won't be such a big deal. I bet most everyone will never change the battery, and will just plug it into a USB charger between vaping sessions.

Vape360 said the battery could be changed in 40 seconds a while back. The current conversation is for adults only
I am a battery changer but I like the one device I have with internal lipo as well so I don't know which method I would choose. Probably just keep a spare battery on hand just in case and charge internally.

Wow..you'd think something special was going on in here

Some great thoughts on the battery and related issues. If I remember correctly ? the Mothership said to power off the Radius you press all three buttons at the same time. So perhaps, they install the battery and test fire as the final QC step. Then they power off the device and ship it powered off with the battery already installed?
Open vape mail
Install topper
Press all three buttons at the same time
BINGO!
Just a guess

I always go through more than one 18650 per day. So for me the charging port is not very useful. Quick swap is important to me.
Ach, stupid me - I misread that sentence of Vape360. OK.The current conversation is for adults only
The crowbar question persists, though.
Yeah...not a big fan of USB charging. Secondary for me, too. That DOES have a certain logic to it, but I hope it's not actually designed with the expectation of people NOT swapping batteries very often...
Got a cell phone?
Seriously though, with most people in the P3 thread saying they can get at least a day out of an 18490, or more from an 18650, charging the Radius overnight isn't really an issue. Those of us who would use 40W might have to plug it in twice a day to top it off. I have an SXmini that I use anywhere from 30W to 60W, and I have never taken the battery out (and it only charges at 500mA). I recently posted on the SX thread about a display bug that happens when the Joule counter flips 1,000,000. When you remove the battery, the counter zero's. So, a 40W Radius will likely last me all day, at 40W. Everyone else should be just fine at at a lower wattage, just charging overnight.
There IS still some mystery surrounding the TWO wheels on the bottom...
Mayhap:
- they're self-winding gears. Like those old mechanical watches, the Radius charges itself up just from being lifted up and put down and lifted up and put down
or
- one gets you at the battery, the other gets you at the atomic power pellet, which takes care of 99% of the device's energy needs, allowing the actual battery to have an approximate run-time of 27 years.
or
- 2 words: built-in wireless charging. Ok that's three words. Or 4 words, but two of them are connected with a hyphen, so it's kind of 3-4 words.
