Now riddle me this ~ Why were you unscrewing it over the sink? No stopper?

I actually had one of the screws just loosen itself and fall out on my desk. I've never swapped out batteries, or tried to mess with the screws. Now, when I remember, I just make sure they are both tight.

I do the same. One of my screws was loose but I did swap the battery so wasn't sure if it being loose was my fault or not.

Note 5!!!

Because I am a dumb@$$ is likely the answer to that. ;-) just where I keep my battery charger. Near the bathroom sink.

If the screws didn't come out of the base fully, it would be perfect IMO. I love the Radius, but that is the only design flaw IMO. Nitpicking, but these things ain't cheap!

I already ordered replacement screws. Zero chance that I won't lose a screw eventually.

Dumbdumb question of the day.... Battery can be charged via USB? I have a bunch of 18650s, so I just swap it out. No manual with my Radius and it came with a partially charged Samsung 18650....

 

[spacetime]

Yes. Battery can be charged via USB. In fact, I believe ProVape designed the Radius to use the USB charger, it works very well.

order one of these,
*NEW* AW IMR 18650 3.7v 3000mAh Flat Top
charge with the usb, now and then when your not vaping , and I never have to pull out my battery.
But I did lose a screw my first week. Luckily, I found it in my pocket.

Yes battery can be charged via USB. Actually it's my understanding ProVape would rather you do it that way. Some find this to be a positive for the Radius ... I otoh don't!

The battery takes an eternity (IMO) to charge which makes swapping the lesser of 2 evils. My nails are so long that getting the screws in & out isn't something I can do in record time.

Radius ... smh ... I'm having buyers remorse.

Radius ... smh ... I'm having buyers remorse.

The Dicodes Dani-Box is a better buy. The build quality is better, swapping the battery is a breeze and it has one of the best boards on the market in it. It also comes with 2 years of warranty. The only reason to buy the Radius is because you're too stubborn to admit there's better stuff to be bought.

I bought 2 extra screws when I ordered my Radius. That was the easy part. The hard part will be trying to remember where I put them should the need arise.

Take apart the P-trap under the sink, the screw will most likely still be in there

I'm noticing a lot of you have screws loose...

Why are you still hanging out in the Radius forum? 20 guesses would get me 20 trips to the sin bin...

Thanks for the reply. It seems to be a more complete device. I think I'll order one when the email comes saying its back in stock. I'd like to see the charging dock but I'm sure it'll be fine. The total adjustability and info available is mind boggling.

I resemble that remark....

If I were purchase the screws, I would put them in the Radius box, as I manage to never misplace the boxes of every mod I have

Are you just now figuring this out?!

Wow. Do Provari owners post crap like this in Dicodes threads?

I completely disagree with your post. The Dicodes website is absolutely useless and the Dani Box is at least 50% more expensive than my Radius.

Edit: Cool! Just figured out the "ignore" feature!
