I get that, Brow, I really do. And I'm sorry, but I'm busy (NO funeral, dude!!!!!!!!).

Nevertheless, a batt is a batt is a batt, and that is not Provape manufactured,,,,,,,,,, or is it?

I'm sorry, sweetie. I know I'm being the voice of dissension, but I do feel strongly about this subject.

Perhaps it's the 5 years of vape info and it's ingrained in me now. I respect* the potential volatility and power of our lithiums.


*Call me scaredy-kat, but if they decide to blow, welp, I want to be in attendance!

No, the battery isn't made by Provape. But the device the battery charges in is. If it blows and I'm pretty convinced it simply won't (remember, the charging stops completely when the battery is full on a Radius), it charges on a granite counter top in a room I'm not near while it charges. I'm safer this way than if I was charging the battery while awake and near it.

Sounds like your charging station is well thought out, and safe, darlin'. Of that, we we all need to be reminded.

It's me, sweetie, and how I do it makes me more comfortable. Have you seen my elegant high tech charging station? Hold on to yer hat... it's pretty out there!!!!!

Welp......you'z guyz can come to my funeral if'n I have a mishap. Cuz, I do charge while I sleep and I feel completely safe. Provape safe, to be exact.
Can't like this post one bit, sorry. You are ignoring basic battery safety guidelines. No one is infallible and no device is perfect, even ProVari products can fail, your first Radius bricked from a small tumble, and I do not believe that had anything to do with a capacitor. Ignore sound advice if you will, but please, do NOT advocate that others do likewise, that is just irresponsible!:sneaky:

Actually, you never did advocate others do likewise, but the sentiment remains...

You cook them on a stove? ;-)

Sounds like at least you're smart about it, SR. I'm glad. NO funerals.

And I still won't do it. I also don't USB charge much. Mainly for the time. I whip em out and throw them on a charger, set a 1.

I know, Kat. Too high for you. And you're correct. But time is money, and... [emoji6]

The bat. in the pic with the pressure cooker looks an LOT like one of those "May Pop" Ultra Fires.:eek:

Talk, about UN-SAFE!!!

Now about charging. In house phone stays in its cradle. Hummmm!!! Never really thought about it.

Now when it comes to the Radius, what to do? I'm always out in the yard, or woods, rarely in the house when weather permits. But I still vape! so exactly when can I charge? My trees have no outlet, nor can I find one in the yard. So it comes down to either charging Bat's in a charger while I am outside, Or, charging the Radius while I sleep.

The only other option I can think of is Stop Vaping, and get back on Stinkies after 40 years on them, and 7 years off them. They will definitely Kill Me. (Dayum near did already).

Guess which I chose! Life is not without risk. One has to weigh which ones are worth taking!!!;)

Knife, the batt in the pic is certainly NOT an Ultra Fire, or any batt with "fire" in its name. It's a Panny. What it looks like is not what it is in reality, so no worries, and I'm far from "UN-SAFE!!!". Thank you tho.

As far as your dilemma as to where to charge? Older info (and IMO wise info) always said to actually charge outside. I'm sure that's not going to be convenient or pastable for all of us, but is a great idea.

Can't you run a line into one of the Maples or. Oaks?

There is unrest in the forest...
(I'm kidding, of course).

Just be as safe as possible.. You know...
