Swapped in another similar battery that was just charged on the external charged and all seems well. Thanks!
Glad you got it figured out. ProVape recommends the Samsung 25R or LGHG2 due to the internal resistance being lower than the AW. When I was having trouble with some wonkiness readings using the AW 3000mAh, they asked me to try it with the Sammie or LG and see how it worked out (P3). The problem went away...

Yeah, I went with the AW 3k hoping to get more run time. It's been great all day. We'll see what happens. I have the original Sammy on ready standby if needed.

Oh yeah, that AW 3000mAh will last forever, just don't trust some of the readings.

shocked and dumbfounded. really? first ever.Can you back this up? I mean the main reason some of us have sought out the genuine AWs is for the reliability. Which readings are you talking about?
Cheers.

It's worth every penny for any of the provape mods. They are tough and reliable. I've had my p3 run over, fall off a roof onto concrete, get soaked while out in the rain and it still hasn't failed. My radius has taken a 4 story drop onto gravel and not even a scratch.
LOL! and here I thought I "abused" mine by plunking them into the car'scup holder rather than springing for some custom built radius stand. :D
Cheers.

Hey y'all.

Welp, I've managed to fill my vapocalypse box with 5 p2.0s and p2.5s, a couple eleaf Picos, and 5 mini mechs w/control heads, and I'm aching for a couple Radii. I have a stealth and a ghost/bronze in the cart, but can't pull the trigger until there's a "% off" sale. No thanks on the free tank thing--I'm a gennie driver, and all set in that dept.

Any hopes for a flash or decent x% off sale in the near future??

Sorry for sounding grumpy and entitled to a discount. I've dropped nearly a thousand smackers on vape stuff since the dooming, and I *am* grumpy. I feel like the non-Provape stuff is necessary, but just pathetic emergency garbage that was cheap enough to not freak out my dear non-vaping hubby. I want those two Radii. But without a real sale, hubby's face looks like =:O.

Buying from any vendor is a choice which throws entitlement right out the window. Now as far as you being grumpy....well, that's also a choice. Dont be mad at ProVape cause you decided to drop so much cash on them- be mad at the FDA!
ProVape has been having a lot of flash sales & they may even have one for the 4th. Hang tight...it'll happen sooner than later.

Yeah, that was crappy of me. I *am* furious with the FDA, and irritated with myself for missing the last flash sale. I've defended Provape's pricing since I paid $180 for my first p2.0--and that darned thing has years of life left. The fargin' FDA's ridiculous decision has turned my world upside down, and I vented in the wrong direction.

The Deeming has caused many to go into what I call panic shopping- this mad rush to buy up every & anything one can in order to be set for the vapocalypse. I refuse to do that much shopping where I need to dedicate a section of my home for an infinities worth of vape gear & supplies. If I never buy another mod for the rest of my life, I can still go to sleep peacefully at night with the assurance that what I do have will last & last & last!

I believe the few things I'll need will still be available in the future & I won't find myself balled up in a corner rocking back & forth with a pack of cigarettes in my hands screaming NOOOOOO at the top of my lungs. I dont see Temco going anywhere so building coils for me is a non-issue & all tanks that use prebuilt coils will be banished to the just in case drawer.

I will not allow the FDA to turn my world upside down- at best, they may make it a bit inconvenient but not enough to bring vaping for me to a complete standstill.
I choose to be more optimistic than the doom & gloom post I read around here.

But I'm having fun, buying six of everything.

I would be shocked if there isn't a 10% off flash sale for July 4. 15% would be even more gooder!

SO on our beloved Radius (actually mine had to grow on me a while)...Like many I was waiting with baited breathe for release retail and promised myself a Cabernet for Christmas. I just (Im not in a hurry) wrote the PV Zen desk- because:
  • my springy thingy in the middle of the mini USB sprung into pieces the first week- yes I handled it gingerly.
  • Although I think I do still have my port plug, I guran dang tee its just a matter of time before I cant find it anymore.
So I've looked all over the PV site. I cant find these as replacements. I dont mind paying for a new plug, an extra chord (really dont need the rewind springy dingy).
My B&M store (which is a plane ride away btw) looked at me like I was loco when I asked if they stocked replacement parts.
Seems a need not being met by PV. we'll see next week when they return to work.
Anyone else?
Cheers.
