Official ProVari Radius Thread - Part 2

[Bronze]

I have a Bunn, and it's great
picked it up at a thrift shop for $15

I have two buns.

I spose they are. Neither of them live with me. The Nespresso machine however, does!

Actually, the commercial is pretty funny to me now. Took SNL to do a parody of it to make me realize how dumb and random it really is.

 

[rbrylawski]

Called? No way!

You know, I was just wondering, how would someone without a computer get a hold of ProVape? I guess go to the vendor from which they bought because they probably didn't purchase using a computer in the first place.

Every time I write ProVape CS and there's a miscommunication, I gripe about lack of phone support because said miscommunication, or misunderstanding could be immediately cleared up or never would have happened in the first place over the phone. Instead, when there is a misunderstanding via email, we have to spend another day or two clearing it up. SUCKS! Poor people on the other end, it's not their fault.

I've never tried to call Provape. I take it you're saying you can't? I know they have phones though, cuz they have called me!

Nespresso is part of the Nestle family of products, so they do have phone support, but they're also magnitudes larger than Provape.

No, unless you were a customer in the very beginning and still have their number, you cannot call them. Not a CS option and I ought to know, I complain about it to them just about every time I write.

Funny you brought up Nestle. I just called them about a month back to let them know, due to moving Nabisco to Mexico, I would no longer be doing business with them. The lady on the other end replied, "I don't blame you, it affects a significant amount of jobs. God bless America." Can you believe it? God bless America, indeed.

I guess when one is, as you are, two centuries old, one tends to look a bit statuesque, eh?

It took three hours to straighten up.

I believe you are correct. But unless you've tried Nespresso, don't knock it. It makes one amazing cup of coffee........

I have tried a Braun blister packer, the coffee it made was quite decent. Very expensive at ~ 1.50 a cup and not resource friendly in any way. I roll my own with a Rancilio

The Clooney/DiVito commercials are idiotic though.

Ahh the joys of not watching TV.

Nestle is EVIL plain and simple. <nods>

I'd be more p'o'd if they were an American Company. Nestle is a Swiss Company, with a global footprint. I'm not defending the move of Nabisco to Mexico, but I'm not particularly surprised by it either. However, a Google search shows Nabisco was acquired by Philip Morris, who then turned it over to Kraft Foods in 2000 and have since renamed it Mondelez International. Where does your reference to Nestle play into this?

Perhaps that's why the lady you spoke with at Nestle, was more supportive. She had to be thinking, "OK, it's fine with Nestle if you don't buy Nabisco sir, since we don't own them to begin with. So yes, "God Bless America!"

I don't think there is any GP Paps/Heron mechanical love in the classifieds. I may have to wait on a Radius.

Oooo I like that. It seems a bit too gunslinger for me, but I really like it. Let me know what you think of it after you have had it for awhile!

Every time I put it on there's an adjustment period. Empty, it fits just fine- Put a mod in it & that's where everything takes a funny turn. I dont know what size mod they designed this off of but anything small just looks weird & anything larhe just looks weirder!!

The flap that's supposed to keep your mod upright & in place doesn't stay in the upright position itself so it doesn't help in terms of making sure the mod doesn't fall out. Youtubers wearing it rave about it saying it's perfect for them when they go to vape meets. Currently I am not finding the level of perfection.

I like pockets myself...

Sorry you're having a time with it.

I like my tea kettle, and on rare occasion my French Press. I think those disposable cup coffee makers should be banned, and whoever uses owns them should be imprisoned for wanton lack of regard to the environment

Hmmm, obviously I'm confused. Oh well. Someone who spouts off as much as I do needs to be corrected when correction is due. It was back in December I made the call. Perhaps it was Nabisco or even Morondez I called. The lady knew what factory and how many jobs were being affected.

GET OFF MY BACK ALREADY! I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE ALLEN WRENCH THING! GEEZ! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, NOBODY'S PERFECT!

That's just it. I will put something in my pocket in a heartbeat. Wanted the holster cause it's different like the holster I got for my phones. When I'm not being lazy I'll contact the company regarding the fit of the mods & see what they have to say about it or if it's possible to get a shorter strap that actually stays in place.
