I have been my Radius for almost two months now and wanted to post a few thoughts that I have about the device itself and about features I would like to see in future firmware updates.
I know that some of my ideas may not be original but this is my consolidated wishlist from direct experience with the Radius.
Please chime with your suggestions.
Thoughts on the device itself-
Precision all the way around and the shape is very ergonomic. I never realized just how uncomfortable a rectangular shaped (VS) vaporizer was until I began using the Radius with its oval shape. No hand fatigue.
The main button is extremely comfortable to use. Again, I never realized how uncomfortable using the harder to press, small button of another brand’s vaporizer was until I began using the “be kind to your finger” button on the Radius.
The configuration options in the menu contain just about every option that one could could need.
To ProVape-
Below are my thoughts for future firmware updates-
Add the ability to lock the Radius using only one hand. Forced two handed locking can dissuade users from locking the Radius prior to putting it into a pocket or just setting it down. This can decrease the safeness of the Radius.
Sometimes it is not practical/possible/convenient to use two hands to lock the Radius. Forced two handed unlock is fine, for kid safety reasons but even that should be an option.
Some vaporizers lock by having to press the main button five times and then immediately pressing another button one time. Having to press the extra button after initially pressing the main button five times significantly reduces the chances of the vaporizer from being unintentionally locked or unlocked.
Add the ability to prevent/lock the main button from going into the setup menu by accident.
Occasionally, while testing a new coil or what not, you can end up in the setup menu by accident.
One handed access to the menu is nice, just as being able to lock the Radius with one hand would be, so a combination of button presses as suggested above for one handed locking would do the trick here as well.
Default the main button and wattage buttons to an off state when a new battery is inserted, or offer a setup option to choose the state. I know that ProVape does not suggest changing the battery frequently but some users will be changing the battery more often than others. It can be difficult to tighten the end plate screws without inadvertently pressing the main button.
Add an option to show battery voltage instead of a battery meter.
Add the ability, by pressing the main button, to view battery level/voltage when unit is off instead of just displaying its off state.
