I have a midnight blue. I like it, but it's understated. To me it looks black or dark charcoal most of the time. If you're bored with the black, I doubt the blue will tootle your puffer.
You're probably right, I'm so fickle...
I had an original onyx black but it was flaky and was returned to ProVape twice. They were nice enough to let me swap it for a Stealth which I love.

If I did it again, I would still go Stealth as I love the finish and doubt I will get sick of it.
That's why I am hoping they will offer an upgrade path for those of us who were first in line for the new Radius, maybe that's what I need! New sheet metal on that bad boy.

I'm wondering how everyone is feeling about their choice of color on their Radius after a few months have passed. I personally love the Radius, it's by far the most durable and nicest box mod I've ever owned, but...

Sigh... I'm bored with the Onyx Black. It's like owning a Cadillac when you're a sports car kinda guy. It's nice, but it's just a little too staid for my tastes right now and I'm wishing I had went with one of the other choices. So I'm wondering if anyone out there bought one of the colored versions of the Radius and are experiencing a lack of thrill with their choice as time goes on.
Here I go.....You need to edit your post & remove mention of where your item is at.

LOL!!! Not my request. I don't make the rules around here. I'm the one that gives the heads-up!
Well somebody has to keep us all line! Sometimes it's like herding cats around here.

Quick Radius question (hoping this is the right place!).

I have Noalox for my 2.5 threads - will this also work for the Radius threads or is there something different (or anything) needed for the P3 connection?

Thanks ...

No-Ox. Noalox is supposed to be for aluminum and doesn't work that well with stainless steel. ProVape no longer recommends Noalox for any of their devices.

No-Ox Thread Lubricant

ETA: I got mine from Amazon.

I use Ox-Gard on my 12 Provaris and it works fine.

I'm not paying $30 shipping to Canada on a $3 tube of lube from ProVape. No sir.

There's really no reason to use lube on your Radius threads. If you did for whatever reason, you would indeed want to use No-Ox as it won't pit Stainless Steel, as Noalox can.

Sorry, 11 Provaris.

I don't lube up the Radius.

That sounds so wrong....

Funny, but I always kinder thought saying we lubed our tubes sounded somewhat naughty.........

Not quite as naughty as the " tootle your puffer" phrase popping up. That one sounds like it belongs in the bad pick up line list. I can just picture a guy in a bar walking up to a lady and saying "Hey sexy, can I tootle your puffer?" [emoji23][emoji23]

Nice. I adopted too early to get the customized versions. Much more interesting options available now, and that's a good choice you made.

Thanks! My next Radius will be a midnight blue with the graphite grey metal finish:

And then when the Kabuki is available in bronze and graphite I'll be getting those too! :w00t:

I don't know that "Ghost White" counts as a 'color', but I love seeing the LED glow through the body. I'd get another Ghost White if I needed a replacement.
