    Yes - because it's 50W, so you're forced into using a battery that is safe at that power. The P3 is limited to 20W due to the ability to use an 18350. The single tube was the whole point of the Procyon.

    The only way that could even be possible is if ProVape is cutting off low battery voltage at a lower level, so you get more time. It's more likely the fresh battery, with a higher mAH rating causing the extra runtime. Put that same battery in the P3, at the same wattage, and see what you get...

    Theorem RTA

    Those are not the authentic Wismec notch coils with leads offset for the Theorem. They're "similar".

    Official ProVari Radius Thread - Part 2

    ANYTHING with ANY type of finish on top of bare metal, WILL eventually wear off. Some coatings are stronger than others, but ALL will wear off in time. Next time you go to a place with metal hand rails, look at how polished they are - just from hands touching them over time. They started out...

    Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3 *PART 2*

    My ONLY P3 is the beta. I had it updated to the latest firmware. It's the same as a production P3 except for the end cap. If you get a beta, you'll want to get a proper P3 end cap as well (or possibly the new Procyon end cap).

    Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3 *PART 2*

    With the latest firmware, that should be true. 2.50 ohms at 14.4W would hit the 6.00V limit, as would 3.27 ohms at 11W. Does it always happen when the battery starts getting low (there was mention of "a couple hours"), or will it happen with a freshly charged, relatively new battery? Does the...

    You should get the same amount of runtime from the P3, at the same wattage, with the same 18650. ProVape already has a very high efficiency rating with the P3 - there isn't much more room to go before hitting an impossible 100% efficiency. Even if the P3 was 96% efficient, and the Procyon was...

    Theorem RTA

    If you use SEARCH, it still shows the date of 4/29. The date is missing from the actual product page though.

    Theorem RTA

    We're days away from every retailer getting their hands on them. According to Angelcigs, they'll arrive 4/21. My bet is the companies that are based in China but also have US locations are shipping them from their Chinese location to their US location, causing a few days of delay. USA: 1...

    Yes, of course - doesn't everyone? Don't forget the obligatory vacation photo also. Here's my Radius on the balcony of my in-laws home in Kyoto, Japan:

    I can't say I've noticed a problem with charging internally, but last night I set it to charge in the bedroom, and woke up 6 hours later, still dark outside, and the bedroom was still glowing bright blue. Shouldn't have taken 6 hours to charge with a 7A charger, especially when the battery...

    No, I mean literally, it's not a new design. Same parts, same tooling - it's an upgrade, not something new. In manufacturing, the same parts and tooling are used as much as possible to keep costs down. Think of the Procyon as the P3.1

    Official ProVari Procyon Page

    For the sake of design discussion, please keep in mind that the Procyon isn't really a new product - at least, it's not a new design. It's a P3 with possibly a few component upgrades to handle the increased current limit, in a single 18650 tube. The Radius is still the newest ProVape design...

    That part's the key - seems there's a short. I assume you've already closely inspected the P3 connector on the Radius to make sure there isn't any debris causing a short, but if you haven't, that's about the only thing I can think of you could try.

    Theorem RTA

    It's quite a stretch of imagination to call something so different, a "clone" - more like a Theorem-inspired POS. What's the point of cloning something that's already at such a low price? Looking forward to getting my pre-order.

    I don't know that "Ghost White" counts as a 'color', but I love seeing the LED glow through the body. I'd get another Ghost White if I needed a replacement.
