    Official ProVari Radius Thread - Part 2

    It's not made of Zinc but a Zinc alloy and Zinc alloys are some of the toughest and most impact resistant materials for die casting. The black paint did come off on some of the early M classes but they improved it later on and you could even exchange it for a new one with the improved finish.

    Official ProVari Radius Thread - Part 2

    You guys have it easy. I have a double dose of GAF to deal with :( And I will say this about the Radius, it really does feel nice in the hand. There's no denying the people at Provape know how to make a quality product.

    Official ProVari Radius Thread - Part 2

    My GF received her Radius today and she's happy with it. I don't see the value in it compared to the brilliant ML Class but it doesn't matter because she likes it.

    Official ProVari Radius Thread - Part 2

    Many have attempted to reach my level of glorious awesomeness but they have all failed only to realize their lives are now empty and useless. rbrylawski realizes he will never be as gloriously awesome as me and that's why he doesn't want anything to do with me. Being in my glorious presence and...

    Because the current and volts the board delivers to the coil is completely independent from the current and power (power, not volts) drawn from the battery by the board. If we use a board with a 96% efficiency as an example, 3.7 volts as the nominal voltage and the power set to 23 watts, the...

    She ordered the red one. Xtar isn't some cheap Chinese brand that makes cheap, generic chargers (but it is a Chinese company). They make some of the highest rated and best performing chargers on the market. Xtar chargers have been tested numerous times and the result is always very good to...

    I have a lot more confidence in my Xtar VP2 charger to correctly charge a battery than any mod.

    Finally an answer. She's an engineer and this is what she wanted to know (the pull out force). And now that she knows she's going to order it. She already did in fact.

    That's exactly what she wants to know. Here's a picture... It looks like the steel bushing has teeth on the outside that grip into indents in the plastic. If that's the only thing holding it in place it's going to fail at one point in time. Edit: Why is is it so very hard for someone from...

    I know it's metal on metal. What I'm talking about is the two small, steel, threaded bushes in the base that keep the battery cap in place. She would like to know how they're secured in the plastic?

    Official ProVari Radius Thread

    So one of my girlfriends is thinking about buying the Radius but the only thing that worries her is how the two threaded bushes for the battery cap screws are secured in the plastic. Can someone comment on this? Maybe someone from Provape?

    FOI documents reveal hi-level conspiracy against vaping

    I think that's mainly because of the publicly funded NHS. If they can get people to stop smoking it frees up funds that can be spent on other things. If the US had a similar health service the reaction to vaping would be completely different.

    No link. I think I remember reading something along those lines on here or Reddit.

    FDA FDA's leaked guidance for PMTAs confirm deeming reg would ban >99.9% of nicotine vapor products

    I've read the FDA cannot use it's funding to enforce the regulations once they are in place. Does this technically mean they cannot even check up on shops since this requires a FDA employee that is paid by the funding?

    ProVari Radius Review Video...

    From what I can see in the video it doesn't look like they do. It looks like two small bushes embedded in the plastic. Can a Radius owner shed some light on this?

    It depends on whether or not the user takes out the batteries to charge them. If this is the case I predict the bushes will come loose within a year. If you leave them in and charge with the USB port it obviously isn't an issue and that's what they based the design on, which is why I think the...

    The wire with the brass connector and the threaded bushes embedded in the plastic are going to cause problems down the road. I find it unbelievable that Provape designed it this way. This simply is not how you do it. The battery connector probably won't cause too many issues but the threaded...
