Thanks, Enaud. I went back and read more carefully ... and then clicked "add to cart." I was going to wait for the P3 Ti, but $129 is an amazing price!
Congrats! That price is a steal for the Ti mod. :thumbs:

I agree.

Where the Radius will really come into its own is as a travel mod.

Think about it.

Radius. juice. Charging cable.

Good to go.

Just catching up here and agree on many levels. Ti's and other ProVi's (and other favorite gems) for home (with P3 Ti in 18650) and Radii very useful for out and about. My very well used and adored Heatvape Defender 30 watt will certainly stay in my daily arsenal but a Radius will take top spot. I even have a couple of purses with Radii sized pockets that have been useless recently. It's even possible I'll be carrying only 2 mods!

I had an overseas trip just over a year ago and the choice for USB charging vaping devices was very limited. A usb hub using EU cables was a must to handle charging the various gadgets I used regularly. With limited luggage space.....well, you get the picture. (Thank goodness for the original Evic and those little Innokin vari's....with an MPV brick I detested, for back up.) Times sure changed with the iStick just a year ago, but the rugged ProVi reliability can't be beat....and the vape quality.....well, you all know that!

I fully admit, the "itty bitty" evolution has been super for me. With that and Ti ProVi's, what's this vaper to ask for in a device? Well, I got it --- I'm thrilled to have a ProVari-Rad, a device that runs very low wattages very very well!

What size did you order?
Uhhh - there is more than one size? Ok, I ordered the Large size (only size that was offered) at 5-6ml capacity. If these will fit the PlasmAir, I may order the Neutron to get a smaller size with the option to use this larger one.

Large size is a winner. Enjoy.

There are three sizes :). The baby one holds only 2-2.5mls; the mid-sized (Neutron) holds 3-3.5mls. They all fit the PlasmAir base, as well as an un-modded KFL+V2 base. You're good. Hope you love it!

View attachment 501441 Here's a picture of the old and new P3 springs, with bottom cap. The spring (top) looks a different color to me, but it could be that a coating has stripped off. Dunno ... I bought that P3 last November. Just changed the spring; went in like a charm. IQ, which had been at 70-ish for awhile, just popped up to 88.

Yes! That's what I was talking about! The spring I have is that size, not the size of the 2.5. I've been having the same trouble with the battery% being low and constantly having to stretch the spring. I think the gold-ish color has more tension (the word I couldn't think of last night). I'm going to get a couple of new ones and some for the 2.0/2.5, since they seem to be wearing out. Thanks!

The P3 springs have gone thru 3 size changes...

Small Spring, Large Spring, and Larger Large Spring.

It must be the large large spring I need. I forgot I had a big spring on the end cap for the purple, that would be the newest version. It is a slightly different color and when I tried it on the P3 the battery % and IQ went up.

ETA: What's been bugging me is the when I put in a fresh battery it's been showing the % in the 80s. If it was just one battery I would chalk it up to the battery being old, but it's happening with almost all of them, including the new one with the black stripe.

Ping'll say I'm still in the Radius Cloud for this, but this is what is so great about the Radius design. The spring in the P series is part of the electrical connection whereas the spring in the Radius is not. Like you, I've found the black stripe AW's uniformly produce a lower IQ. The battery percent isn't lower, but IQ is.

I am aware of the devices different conductivity, fanboy. ;)

Glad to read that - you had me worried. I picked up 2 of them.

There are three sizes :). The baby one holds only 2-2.5mls; the mid-sized (Neutron) holds 3-3.5mls. They all fit the PlasmAir base, as well as an un-modded KFL+V2 base. You're good. Hope you love it!

So the small one holds about the same amount as the 510 Kabuki, and the med-sized holds about the same amount as the P3 Kabuki? I'm looking forward to getting the plasma tanks, but I am concerned about dropping the mod while using them. It's like a motorcycle....the question isn't have you dropped your bike, but when.
