My wife has been liking mine so much, she said time to order her a Cabernet Radius. Done!
Now I hope they have enough to ship readily as she's going away with her lady friends next Wednesday for a mini vacation. Would be nice if it arrives before she leaves.
If it doesn't can I resist opening her vape mail to see the Cabernet in person? Now that's the question.
I hope so too I'm still waiting anxiously for my carberet to make her way to me
Yeah, next trip to Prague in December I'm leaving a couple ProVari at Sandra's place, in case I won't be able to fly with my gear in another 6 months, if I haven't moved yet...
Ya know .. some of us don't need the latest high tech. Come next month I'll hit my 4th year of vaping. Shortly after I started I moved to Provari's, then acquired a nice collection of upper end mech mods (not clones). I left the Provari's collecting dust and used them exclusively. Then TC came along and I picked up 4 TC mods. Played around w/ them, going from wire to wire chasing the weekly rage.
Then a friend who converted to TC vaping exclusively sold me his P3 Celtic w/ a 'real' KFv4 (both almost new) for a price I could not pass up. I started using that setup and soon found myself going to it for most of my vaping. Then I dusted off the old Provari's and re-coiled my mech toppers for them. Soon I lost my interest in all the techie side of TC vaping and trying to stay 'current' on what's best this week and what's safe and what's not.
I'm happy vaping the P3 and Radius as my go to setups. I'm glad there's still folks out there pushing the limits - it will make all our vaping better in the long run. But right now I'm taking a break from the techie side of vaping and just sitting back enjoying being an ex-smoker and a happy vaper.
I'm back in the Provape family because they make a solid, quality product that they back up w/ customer service.
Some would argue that battery technology has evolved by leaps and bounds in the last 4 years.
But there is one issue...
How does ProVape prevent a consumer from putting a battery in there that isn't the latest and greatest cell, in fresh condition? What happens when a cell of lesser quality is substituted? People have already demonstrated the uncanny ability to ignore the suggested batteries in favor of their old favorite... SOME cells don't like charging at a higher rate and can be dangerous when put into that situation.
The reason ProVape would use the 800 mA charge rate is: People

I'm a Nerd when it comes to charging, I have to know these things
How does one sleep not knowing when or if the lighting bolt dissappears
See below. I guess I just throw caution to the wind........LOL
I threw caution to the wind and went with blue on Cabernet Red. I know, living dangerous to the max!
Lem, it seems to me by the tone of the majority of your posts that you are indeed looking for a reason (or reasons) not to buy a Radius. If the fact that just about everything Provape does is to ensure the safety of their customer isn't tech enough for you, maybe a Proavari really isn't for you.
On board charging seems to me like plug in electric cars- pointless...
I don't think it's wrong to want things to be different, that's sort of the human condition really. I read Lemwise's comments as wishing they were different than they are, wishing ProVape would be less conservative and not really getting why they are the way they are.
There are quite literally HUNDREDS of companies making mods that appeal to a wide range of people, and some of those companies are far less than conservative in the regard for safety... they are willing to push limits, and they flat-out state that it's perfectly safe to push those limits. What is a consumer supposed to think when the maker of the BlahBlah 200 charges at 1.5 Amps and says it will be to charge at that rate?
Manufacturers make lots of claims, how is the consumer supposed to sort it all out? When Company "A" says it's safe and company "B" says it's not safe to do the same thing, that makes some people raise an eyebrow... some will choose to believe Company "A", and some will choose to believe Company "B".
And consumers make decisions on risk tolerance as well... some will take a greater risk believe it will have a benefit that they seek... others will take NO risk to get that same benefit, because they are risk averse. I'm seeing Lemwise sorting through those options and making a choice, and it appears as though he wishes ProVape was a lot less conservative, because he's willing to take on that risk... or doesn't believe it's risky at all... which is absolutely 100% his choice.
And I have charged my Radius every single day using the onboard charger when I go to bed... and it's one of the things I like MOST about it.
To me it doesn't have any benefit. If I am out all day and make a quick stop to shower and change for a night out, I don't have 4 hours to wait for something to charge. It's why I take 2 phones when I travel and switch them out during the pit stop at the room...
I'm glad Provape didn't agree with you on that. I'm thus far REALLY elated with the USB charging on the Radius. I don't have to worry about taking batteries out, getting out the charger, putting the battery in. I don't have to worry 'bout nothing, but enjoy my Radius as a single charge lasts me two full days and I can charge it while I sleep. Yes, I'm really glad Provape didn't think like you do.

I'm not saying it is bad, just that it adds no benefit for me. I can charge 2 batteries with one outlet or 1 Radius with one outlet...
I don't know that I trust the charging system or meter at this point until it has been out a few months...
The problem I have with this is how can one know there is a risk. When I started I quite happily put my evods on the floor plugged into the computer and went to bed. At the time I did not know it was not safe.
When I found out the risk I changed my habits. If I didn't have problems and find this board I would probably still be charging the same way.
I would agree with this, if they designed and made the charging system and port. I travel with 2 chargers just in case...
Each person has to assess their own level of risk tolerance. Gather the info that you can, decide whose opinions and marketing efforts that you trust, and decide based on that.
And try not to listen to random voices in your head.
