What's your favorite color now Kas?
Mine's the midnight blue.
I am not sure really, I have been using the blue sense Wednesday night, and the red sense Thursday. Red has always been my favorite color and blue 2nd, but for some reason the one I wanted the most was black. The purple is also very nice, I don't think I can pick a favorite yet.

Again... Very Nice!!!I got my Creme De Vape order today, so I took a quick picture. (proof of purchase) My order from Provape was more than just the radius's, caps springs etc, these were the main purchase items this month though.

Ok, here it is, proof of purchase. A quick evaluation, I like it, and it's nice. I took a shorty kfl v2 off my Pico and put it on the Radius. I had the watts set at 9.5 on the Pico, and after trying it on the radius, I lowered the watts to 8.4.
About that spring, any reason it has to be that stiff, or strong. Good grief, I took the battery out to put in a fully charged one, and with my poor hands, I didn't think I was ever gonna get that base back on there. Hopefully over time it'll loosen up a bit. So anywhoo, seems like a keeper.

It's funny, while I never wanted a purple mod, the Radius in purple in your pic looks great. Nice collection.I got my Creme De Vape order today, so I took a quick picture.

You're quite right (and the same goes for the P3 spring vs. the other Provapes.)Ok, here it is, proof of purchase. A quick evaluation, I like it, and it's nice.

But, you won't have to change out the battery until it's shot. Unless you don't want to charge it via the USB. I've had my two Radius's for a year +, and except for day one, when I took it apart to check it out, I've never again opened it up.
I'm just used to changing out the batteries, and rotating them. I hate to run the battery down, then have to wait on it to charge up, but I guess I'm gonna have to get used to it. It's not like I don't have anything else to vape on.
What do most of you use to charge yours with, the usb and computer, or with a wall adaptor?

It is always such a great feeling to get a package from Creme de Vape. Especially now, since they seem to be (at least for a while) the premier shop for Provari.
As for usb charging, I much prefer a quality wall adaptor. I bought a dual 2 amp when I first got my Vapor Shark DNA 200. It could charge at 2 amps but I didn't have anything that would supply that much. It came from amazon, was about $12 or so, and has been extremely consistent and troublefree.
Computer USBs have no real standard other than the connection layout. Your computer may struggle to charge at .25 amps or if it's a newer high end model it could output much more. Don't be afraid of the strength of your charging output as the device will only accept what it is capable of. But the hardware itself covers a wide range. Some ports are very cheap and will fail after a short time. I don't have to worry about that on my Radiuses' part and with the wall adapter I don't have any concerns on that side either.
To sum up, I like the wall adapter better just because it is a known quality constant. Unless you're handy, replacing a usb port on your computer is more expensive that 5 or 6 AC adapters.
That's not to say that on a rare occasion when I don't have time for the Radius to charge that I would hestitate just to change the battery. But it's very much a Plan B for me.
Just a suggestion - I've used only ANKER products (wall-warts / cables) for all my charging needs for a couple of years with no problems and have recommended them on here previously. I use them to charge my phone, tablets, Radii etc. Available on Amazon.com (and please remember, a cheap cable is not your friend - the best charger can be throttled down by a cheap cable, hence the rec for ANKER)
I have until now never had a need for such things, I did a search for Ankler, and looked at their products. I can see a use for one of their power ports and their cables.

The only time I plug into my computer to recharge is if I wasn't paying attention and I ran down the battery in the Radius. In which case I'll plug it into the computer while I vape. Otherwise, it's a wall adapter. Not that I expect any problems, but my computer is far more expensive than my Radius.
I'll 2nd your recommendation. I use a 5 port USB Anker charger. Each port can put out 2 amps even if all ports are in use. Likewise use it for mods, phones, and tablets. I also use Anker cables. Do I like Anker ... well I also have an Anker Power Bank.
I'm new to the Provari/Radius club so my first question is if any of you veterans gave CC a try. I had high hopes to finally have a US made, reliable mod capable of TC but my hopes were dashed by the less than informative chart provided. Modes A thru I....great, but what do they mean? Value of 1 thru 7....I sorta get that, the higher the number, the hotter the coil, but based on what? I use mostly RTA tanks so the meager selection of tanks and coils is pretty much out the door for me. It would be nice to have more info on the modes, TCR values would be a good start.
Nice ... my international shipment of "Threaded plastic and metal spare parts", declared value £15, arrived today.
CC does work well but how it works only provape knows for sure. I personally think they had to rush it to beat the FDA deadline and didn't test it with much more than what's on the chart. I've done some testing and their chart is a good base to start from for premade coils.

Wow! Stunning.
