Hi mariusk :) Please allow me to introduce myself. I am The Ocelot. I live in my own little world (which is JUST FINE!). In here I dance and sing, my thighs are thin and little purple fairies flit around urging me to burn things...And but yet anyway please don't confuse me with someone who is serious.

I'm sitting here with laughter-tears in my eyes.

The internal charger is as fast as my external one (maybe even a little faster), no complaints on that. The problem is a low battery while I'm not near a power source to charge it.
It happens quite a lot, at least in my case.
I also found out that exactly when I need to leave my desk, the battery needs recharging :)

You need a second Radius.

So tell me. I'm assuming it is from TV, which I haven't had for about 12 years. And before that I only got 2.5 (maybe sometimes 3) channels, none of which were PBS, so the device got very little use. If you tell me what show, I can watch clips on youtube and perhaps glean enough to pass for cool.

He is from Family Guy. I picked him as my Avatar for his name. Glenn. I got tired of the pic of my bike. And I use his pictures as my smiley faces.:)

Thank you! Is that the show with the talking dog? I'm going to watch it now.

ETA: I watched it. Ummm...no. Not my kind of "cool." I'm not judging, my ex was into The Three Stooges, who bewildered me. I liked The Marx Brothers.

The dog talks, and the baby, Stewey, is somewhat of a genius. Nothing is off limits for the creators peculiar brand of humor :thumbs:

menus in general should allow a user to choose from a set of options, and do nothing until a choice is made

Something I always tell my employees - don't come to me with a complaint unless you have a solution to suggest along with it. So, how would you propose a single-button menu system to work?

If I'm in the menu and looking at my watch for a second to check the time, I'll probably need to wait for the next cycle.

User error. Smart user learns to not check his watch while in the menu. Problem solved.

And it was finally solved with the Radius, I really can't understand why it's back on the Procyon.

The Radius is a box mod; the P3/Procyon is a tube mod. The Radius has 3 buttons. Back to the question above.

But seriously, there's nothing else for me.. There's only crap at the low end, and 200watts and up, multiple battery setups, at the high end.

True, ProVape makes very high quality mods - arguably the best. But, why are you ruling out a 200W mod? You don't have to use 200W just because it's there, just like you don't have to drive at 100MPH just because your speedometer shows numbers that high. There are many small, single-battery mods using the DNA200 board, but are limited to 75W (I believe) due to a single battery. There's a new VF model that uses a single 26650 that's quite comfortable to hold as well. Point being, there are a lot of options, and until you design and manufacture your own mod, none will be perfect for you.

I'll probably do the same with the Procyon if they solve a simple issue. And it's really simple - it has 5 speeds for the scrolling menu, 1 to 5, they only need to add aone more setting to it - speed 0.

Back to the first question again...

The tube would be threaded at the upper part (similar to the P3, just a little higher), and whenever a fw update is needed, you just unscrew the tube and plug a usb cable.

Two problems with your idea. First, ProVape would never expose the electronics. Second, allowing tubes to be screwed onto the Procyon would potentially allow people to use P3 tubes and make a tube that accepts something less than an 18650, and with the 50W limit, the whole point was that it's 18650 only.

But if I need to pay for a programmer more than $50 now that the Procyon is released, I expect it to last for at least one or two future models.

The programmers are for dealers, not end-users. A vape shop owner can recover that cost very easily.

Regarding "at the time", what you and a couple others here seem to be missing is that the Procyon is an evolution of the P3, not an evolution of the Radius - two different product lines. I doubt the Procyon would have existed if ProVape couldn't have used existing parts and tooling from the P3, as there won't be as much return on investment for a tube mod in the day and age of the box mod.

I love Family Guy....it is offensive, but EQUALLY offensive across the board :p
and...not quite to the level of offense that South Park goes.
Family Guy is a great show if you take it for what it actually is.

The breakaways to Conway Twitty are absolutely fantastic.

I especially liked the episode where they are talking with God, and he says "Oh, by the way, Conway said to CUT IT OUT, and just write a joke!"

hilarious
