You are missing a treat! :)
I am happy with my Radius, it's the only ProVape treat I really need ;)

I really only use 3 mods these days, my CC squonker, Radius and vaporshark dna200...everything else collects dust (the ones I keep for sentimental reasons) or have been PIF'ed off. :D

I would love to get the Radius, if they release a version with a different battery swap mechanism..

Just curious, but how often do you expect to replace the battery in your Radius, if you get one?

In my case and for the vast majority of Radius users we might replace the battery no more than once a year. I did put in a higher mAh AW cell at the start with both of mine and haven't opened either up since.

I Vape at 10 watts all day long (even at my desk at work) and the battery in my Radius lasts almost a full two days.

I have an office job, so if by chance I need to charge, I can do so at work and even in my car.

indeed....they charge as fast as my external charger, so a second one would fix the issue :p

That's what I do: one is charging, one is in use.

Honestly, If I needed to swap batteries, I'd be using something else.

I can buy two, but in times that all devices had an internal battery, Provape invented a device with an easy replaceable one, and mentioned it's better, easier, faster, and less to carry.

They did not design it to be easy to swap the battery. They designed it to have a captured battery that could be changed out at end of life. I don't really get why people buy the Radius and then complain about this. They designed it the way they designed it specifically, not randomly.

They include a good battery, that they have confidence will do what they need it to do. They want you to use that battery, and when it dies they want you to replace it with something comparable or better.

This is not the device for people throwing batteries in and out of their mod all day long.

They don't think that is a good thing.

There are alot of mods on the market with magnetic doors that are great for swapping batteries. The Radius is not one of them.

jwb, why is it not a good thing to swap out batteries? I have 2 Radii and a small stable of P3's, so I'm a lover of ProVape products. The P3's require batteries to be swapped; I do it every day. So why do you think ProVape didn't want swapping to go on with the Radius? (Not being argumentative. Im really curious.). Thx!
