Official ProVari Radius Thread

[stanleybb50]

Hi Stanley,

The output fault 7 error is related to a bad capacitor. Very spotty. We have removed all of those components from inventory to be pro-active and switched to a different brand. While it's only been on a small number of units, we don't see this being a long term issue.

Great to hear! Thanks.

Are there many American suppliers of electronic board components anymore?

These look pretty kool. My three old ProVari are so good I never thought I would look at any other larger devices. I came back to see if there were any new tiny devices and now I see this.

There are, including many options for PCB's

A while back in this thread, I mentioned wanting a vertical screen layout. So, I decided to make a quick design to see what it would look like. Thought I'd share the results, as well as the Excel spreadsheet so you can play with it too. Perhaps somebody's design will inspire a future revision from ProVape.

I don't know the actual pixel dimensions of the screen, but based on the pixels that are in use, it looks like a 72x32 screen. The below screenshots are reduced by 1/6th of the working copy in Excel.

The current screen layout:

My quick vertical redesign, definitely not final. I played with the digits, so the math doesn't work out exactly correct anymore, but basically you have set wattage, voltage being applied to the atty, coil resistance, and battery voltage at the bottom. Obviously 3.3v is not a full battery as the icon displays either

The master document layout:

There is attention to detail from the original design, such as the spacing of the characters, including the period, the number of segments in the battery to provide the same number of voltage steps, etc. Like I said, it's a rough mock-up to satisfy my curiosity.

PS - Seems you can't attach .xlsx files. If anyone knows how, let me know and I'll attach the spreadsheet. Otherwise, PM me your email address and I'll forward it to you.

No problem, there's a new sheriff in town

Here we go with the cats again! Let's try to keep this real, people.

Yes, there is a new Sheriff in town... and he'll be all over it. As soon as he wakes up from his nap.

Finally got around to changing the red seals for "Ghost White" seals. Also just tried the new vertical coils - SO much better than the original coils. Original coils were 25W max; new coils are 15W-60W, and 30W seems to be just right.

You can see the green battery on the left, and the halo around the display. There is quite a bit of light bleed-through from the colored LED, which I love. This will be my all-day (and especially all-night) for a while...

@Vape360 - Someday, if some of us (hopefully not me) gouge, crack, or damage the polycarbonate shell, is that something ProVape can repair, and if so, have you set a cost? Thanks.

Wait so is that blue or black?

Nice work! What's the little "8" above the "W?"

ETA: Oops, sorry. It is a placeholder for the decimal number of watts?

 

[AlphaGuitarist]

Or..better yet...my favorite vape accessory..the U-can. It goes on your keychain so you'll never be without juice.

In action:

I need this in my life! Know any reputable vendors that carry them?

Edit: Mt. Baker Vapor has it in stock. Ordering right now.

Yep, it's the tenths digit. I originally put that digit on the bottom, but then the units for the volts and ohms would have had to be on top, which looked funny without digits of their own.

Make sure you get the V2 (or V3 if it's out). The V1 leaked. IIRC, the V1 had a longer needle?

I bet these would be good to have if using a kabuki since the capacity is so small. Might have to look into one for my wife. Not sure how much she goes through in a day, but she might like this idea.

Haha exactly ;-)

But 99% sure that's blue.

I was going to mention those capacitors, but wasn't sure if you would want me too [emoji14]

Kraken v2 pairs nicely with the radius.
