I was funin about the volts vs watts thing but we have to take in amps and battery sag. there can also be differences between two of the same mods. since I run kayfuns ,those finicky little things, the differences are more noticeable than a kabuki which to me is muted just a little. the kabuki is a great tank but it's limited to what you can do with an aspire coil. if a good rebuildable option becomes available I'll start using it again . off to prisnyland ttfn.


Funny, I used to really believe that volts tasted better than watts. Today I sat down with a Kabuki, My P3, a 2.5, and my Radius. All were set to the same power according to the math, but the P3 and 2.5 were in volt settings. So I did after all notice a difference in one mod out of the three. The Radius was a little off, the vapor seemed just a little bit harsher to me. The P3 and 2.5 seemed identical. So we have three different boards, and a perception on my part of something different.

I sat and thought about this, and really there could be several explanations. It could be psychosomatic. Without doing a blind or double blind test, other factors could have influenced my perception.

As I didn't adjust anything when going from mod to mod several times, I didn't adjust for taste. Perhaps the Radius has better conductivity in the output pins, maybe it's output is slightly higher. Either way, to me it didn't prove anything one way or the other because without adjusting for taste on each individual device there is no way for me to conduct a fair test based only on the math.

I still prefer to set my power to volts only because of old habits and all that, but when I set my Radius to where I like it with either my Kabuki or my Russian 91's the experience is consistent and great as far as taste goes.

I'm really glad that my wife gave me the Radius for Christmas, it has changed my thinking about the whole volt/watt thing.

That looks really sharp! It didn't occur to me until you posted your pictures that the texture of the molded body would add so much to appearance of the snake skin pattern! :thumb:

The microwave at Grandma's house makes better tasting canned soup than the microwave in my kitchen.

I've brought home a bowl and spoon from her house, and microwaved soup in mine, and it just doesn't taste the same.

I don't even own a microwave. Lucky me.

Saving up for a Radius and a KFL-mini, eh?

Nope. Cooking old-school-style. Never felt the need for a microwave.
Got a Mini3 yesterday, ordered it for my buddy, I'll have it til Monday. Built it to make sure I can explain everything, it will be his first RTA. Nice little piece, love it, but it's not for me. And the Radius.. well..I'm good with the mods I have now ;) For now.

Looking at your pictures, I'm hoping that gem button looks better in person? I would just chose purple for the button color as that looks the best to me. The gem doesn't cover the entire button?

The Purple CZ is a beautiful stone. It's hearts and arrows and well, since it's CZ, flawless as CZ are. I just have always had a difficult time photographing gem stones to look like they do in the real. The gem does not cover the entire button. It is surrounded by an outer ring that lights whatever color you select for the button to light. In the case of mine, P seems to be the best option for this stone. I took a few more pics (not that they're really much better), but I'll post them here:

Having the texture, and the look together makes it almost feel like I'm holding a snake skin. It's cool for sure!


So cool seeing Vanish next to her namesake Radius!!

Those actually are better pictures, Thank you. If I were to get one, it would be the purple as that's my favorite color.

I had campaigned for a Purple Radius, but alas, didn't win. So when I saw I could at least get a Purple CZ fire button, it was a no brainer for me!

The top photo is pretty cool, it looks like an amethyst in that shot.
