Can we ...assume... like the rest of us the placement of the buttons is a very easy learning curve?
Waaaay to easy but I think this way about most mods. I don't believe it takes a rocket science degree to use any of them with ease.

and, just because I love his stuff, here is another review (only 4 min., lots of pictures).



I like his stuff a lot! Great photos, he seems honest, and there is no personality or mucking about. The background music is also quite relaxing and nice.


Ooooooooooo.. thank you, pokes. I love the meatballs.




I hate pictorial vids cause it forces me to remain seated & pay attn & I usually cant make it thru the 1st 2 min but I did manage to watch it long enough to capture a screenshot for you @Katdarling so thank you @pokemom for posting it.

He said the same thing I said in regards to weight & feel. :thumbs:

Yes, me Scands, it seems it would be a bit heavy, but weight determination is not all I'd ever judge in a mod. Seems like you like it a lot, yah?

Thank you for the captures.



We had fun!!! My g/f is the big kid on the end ;) & she's one of those people that gets everybody involved.
By the time we left, everybody knew who we were.....fun had by all. :lol:



I'm rather familiar with that scenario, hon. ;)



Thanks for the reply and info!

I had a quick look at the Xvostick but it didn't really appeal to me. If it did I would go for the authentic anyway after what I've read about both versions.

Thanks for the coupon code as well but I'm still undecided, I'm considering 3 other mods as well & I'm still looking at what else will hit the market before the fall too. But I probably don't have the patience to order from outside of the EU anyhoe once I've made up my mind :)


Really, OTA? What (out of sheer kuriosity) did not appeal to you? I find the XVO to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing devices I've ever known or used.



@Katdarling Sorry it took all day. I was out at my other addiction ~ Best Buy!!! ;)
My new kick....smoothies!!! :banana:

So without further delay....ProVari Radius & Smoant Knight V1 size comparisons.
For me the SKv1 wins in size & weight!!

WOW! GREAT shots, Lex. I had no idea the Radi towered above as much as it does. (I know it really doesn't, but in pics, wow.)

I actually LOVE the look of the Smo'ant. Smoothies all the way.

Congrats on TWO beautiful white mods!

Different strokes for different folks I guess, it just looks cheap to me

I can appreciate the originality of the design but it would have appealed to me more if they machined it out of raw aluminum. I'm not even sure what it is made off but it looks like plastic to me, & I don't like plastic or a plasticy look.

But besides the looks the single 18650 (I prefer build in batteries), the location of the screen and button placement also put me off.

I'm picky I know :)

It is machined from a billet of aluminum, the finish is anodized aluminum.
Why anyone would prefer built in batteries is beyond me, but whatever floats your boat. ;)

Really? Hmm, that does sound more then decent. Perhaps I need to see one in the flesh then, before I judge it. But that probably will never happen unless I order one.

Cellphones pretty much always have build in batteries these days, just to name another device that is used on a day to day basis. I personally find it much more convenient to plug it in then having to swap out bats and risk wearing out threads or hinges. Plus in general they have a larger capacity, larger then a single 18650 anyway. I don't see what's not to like to be honest.

Good thing we have options

Got a reply to my email. Only the black (mod only) sets were sent with the full kits. They are expecting the white ones today. They will let me know when it ships.

I am NOT knocking the store. They responded to my email promptly & politely. This stuff is kinda expected with preorders. I'm just impatient & want my new toy now!

The mouthpiece looks like the same one for the ego AIO. I think it's smart looking. Looks like you fill the tank from the top instead of that annoying side fill. Not sure about air flow controls from the video, but the coils provided are going to need a lot more than the original egrip provided.

My only question is do we really need a clock on our mods? What happens to the time if the battery dies?

I'll keep my eye on this. If it uses the cubis coils, might be a winner.

Well lets see...
I have more faith in the durability of screws and magnets than USB connectors.
When the battery is worn out, I can replace it with ease.
I am certain the battery is up to the task I am asking it to do.
I can remove the battery when storing a device.
I know my external charger is good.
I can carry a spare and swap it out in the field if I get caught short.

Plus I can still charge the battery in the device if I wish to.
YMMV :)

You'd almost certainly be surprised by it.
