Ah, the androgynous 80's; when even the guys had big hair (and dressed like chicks).

Don't I know it. Worked with these guys for years. Still do some work with one of them. 15 minute breaks between sets were heaven in the bus.:lol:

Looks like me and my buddies in the 80's. Except for Halford. We would excommunicate him for his short hair. ;)

I was never into the makeup and girl clothes though. I did spandex though.:rolleyes:

Fun times backs then and I still love playing. The band I am in now is just breaking up after 6 years. It will be the first time in 30 years that I dont have a regular gigging band.:(

I need to start a groundswell campaign here for an upgrade path for all of us who were first in line when the Radius came out. I think it's about time for Provape to offer us a chance to send in our Radius and customize it. Obviously, they have the parts available and it really shouldn't be a very complex task for them to replace the metal parts for the new options. Granted, the new body options like snake skin might be a bit much to offer, but putting on the Graphite, Stealth, or Bronze parts should be relatively easy for them to do.

Let's implore @Vape360 to get this ball rolling. Who's with me?

I'm guessing probably about the same effort as building two from scratch.
No, I had a chat with David at Provape and an upgrade option is not going to happen. Apparently, once these are built you would have to practically destroy them to change out the metal parts. Some parts are glued together and would be damaged so the cost to rebuild would be quite prohibitive. Better off to buy a new one!

So be it. Black Onyx sold, now comes the time of indecision. I really like @AstroTurf's choice...

So many cool options. Good luck!

I really do like my Stealth Radius though, but if I wasn't sold on the Stealth, I would still likely be looking at different options!

All the more reason I feel customization should've been ready to launch at the time the Radius launched. Reasons being money & pissing off a huge customer base.

No one likes being that guy or girl who just spent all their money then boom....here comes the customizing option.

I believe it was Moto when they released the X, customizing your phone was available on day 1.

And yes, I am one of those people who would've gone the customizing route had it been available when I made my Radius purchase. I've got other priorities so dropping another $300 on another setup isn't going to happen just like that.

Yep, I'm that guy too. I would have easily gone for a customized Radius if it had been available at launch, and instead of feeling good to be one of the first owners of the Radius I am left feeling pretty damn upset. I have to think that perhaps the Radius launch was rushed a bit, because it's impossible to believe the customization option wasn't in the works when the first models were launched. They could have treated the custom options like the Ghost White, letting us know it was going to be available but in a few weeks time.

I also wouldn't have been so upset if these options showed up after a decent interval, but the fact it was only two months into the product line just makes the whole thing worse. As it is, I sold my Onyx Black with the intention of upgrading to a customized version, but who knows what else is coming down the line in a month or two?

This is what I've narrowed my choices down to, it helps if I put 'em together. Hmmm...

The battery showing through the Ghost White is a distraction but a white battery wrap will take care of that. Anybody out there get the Stealth options on a Ghost White? How 'bout that blue/bronze? Happy?

I actually drove to a B & M who had them all in stock, the blue is classy and the white in very interesting that's what the owner was puffing on. I'm the type of guy who hates walking into a store just knowing I'm gonna order online and there's no chance of a sale, so I decided to throw a little business their way and get my P3 updated. They charged $19.95!! I really do hate the vape shops here in Vegas...

Anyway, Ghost White owners. Is the light from the LED showing through kinda cool or does it get annoying after awhile? Decisions, decisions, decisions.

I can't help you with your choices since I have plain vanilla radius's only. But, they all look good.

It's amazing how much you were charged for the P3 upgrade. On a recent trip to NYC (which is a very expensive place to buy or do anything) I went to the only vapeshop which does the upgrade (VapeNY in midtown FYI.) They said they were big fans of Provari and would happily do it for nothing. I bought a bottle of their juice as a fair trade, and, in fact, really liked it.
