    If only ProVape would abandon the idea of an "energy gauge" and stick with reading actual battery voltage like everyone else. I love the voltage meter; the "energy gauge" - not so much. At least make it optional, ProVape - or add battery voltage to the display. In fact, the battery meter is...

    An 18650 mod is an 18650 mod, as far as battery life goes these days. Most of the better mods are very efficient, therefore 1% better efficiency will not be noticed. There's no magic in making one mod last longer than another - we're consuming watts. Same battery, same runtime. But, there are...

    They are great - one of the very best. We call them "IEM's" - "in-ear monitors". For their high-end models, you get a mold of your ear made, and they make them custom fit to your ears! Another nice toy on my list to get someday...

    I love Klipsch speakers. Pretty far from "accurate", but they do have a unique sound that's very likable. I've always wanted to build a home theater with a pair of K-horns for L/R, a Belle for C, and Heresy's all around. I met Klipsch a couple times and had great conversations. He's a mad...

    Ah, yes, the air motion transformer - a great driver, even by today's standards. The first studio I worked at still used them. Best explanation to anyone who doesn't know how they work is like you squeezing a cherry pit between your fingers until it launches - that's what the AMT's are doing...

    The only real difference between tube and solid state is how it distorts, and you, as a guitar player, probably know that better than most people. Solid state amps distort in odd order harmonics, which sounds more harsh; tube amps distort in even order harmonics, which is more pleasing to the...

    A little bit, but not completely off the deep end like real "audiophiles" :P I love McIntotosh gear. I'd have some if I could afford it. My dad has their receiver. All I have is their free media player app on the iPhone!

    Yep - I have the Lexicon re-branded studio version of Bryston amps running the ribbon drivers in my tri-amp system. I built my own speakers, and am using custom Focal 12" midbass drivers for the front 3 channels (same as used in the $125K Wilson Audio system). Active crossovers custom built by...

    Well, I ordered ~Zen's P3 to 510 adapter (though I don't have any P3 tanks yet - it's the completest in me). Most interesting is the alphanumerical order numbering system, and the irony that I'd get an order number fitting to a techie like me... #1KWH

    I still think "ProCreate" was the best guess... :)

    Well, back from lunch and the Radius blue LED is now on, and the current meter is now 830mA, so it's in full charge mode. Battery icon has the lightning bolt as well. Seems the battery survived. I wonder if ProVape trickle charges an undervolt battery intentionally like that, or if it was...

    Interesting... Assuming due to the sleep bug in v19, my Radius battery was completely dead from non-use (while I had the P3 adapter stuck to my tank). I go to charge it, and nothing - it's dead dead. My current meter says it's drawing 90mA. After a little while, the screen lit up when I...

    The clicker was a great invention... except that I found I could clap my hands and change channels, much to my parents dismay!

    Dislike, sorry. You weren't able to upgrade the P2.5 at all. You were able to upgrade the P3, but you had to find an authorized dealer (WITH a programmer), and often times that's a significant drive, and if you couldn't find one, you had to send it in to ProVape. You can upgrade the Radius on...

    Bite your tongue! We need an 18650 40W tube! P4 anyone??

    Thick mud, thick batter... Juice line? Jelly Belly did come out with dirt, snot, and other foul favors for Harry Potter... Thick Radius? 26650? I doubt ProVape would come out with a dual battery mod due to lesser safety. Maybe something battery related? Today's clue was supposed to be much...

    SR keeps posting in different colored text. The photo might just be there to throw us off. My guess - new Radius colors.
