thanks for all the advice on my issue! I will change the batts (already have), and update to V20....if the issue remains I will contact Provape...(I certainly hope it is not needed, as I am in europe, which means long waits :cry:, but we'll see). I let you peeps know how it turns out!

FWIW, I tried the v20 update twice and no change.

Try this.... If the battery level doesn't change after a while of vaping, remove the battery and put the same battery back in. If the level drops, you likely have the problem I had. Also, does you display always light up when you are vaping? Mine was intermittent.

Mine has been gone for over a week and I doubt I will see it until next week at this point. Wish they had a rapid replacement type warranty. At least they paid for my shipping both ways.

your device might be an early one....I had the same issue with the battery meter, wouldn't change, always showed full, unless I pulled it and reinserted it, then it would show current battery level, but stay there untill repulled. Provape ended up replacing the unit for me.

Weird as my Radius was recieved by my B&M just after New Years (their first Radius shipment) so unless it was sitting at ProVape for a long time, it shouldn't be an early one.

In any case, I'm confident it will come back better than new and give me many years of good vaping!

Mine came with v18 too. Maybe you will get lucky and v20 fixes your problem.

Good Morning All

First I'd like to thank everyone who has posted and gotten involved in the clues about what's coming out. I think some have had fun. At least I hope some have. But clearly for some, this has not been fun. It was never anyone's intention to make this anything but a little creative way to get us all talking about the possibilities. I certainly don't want to make this divisive, so there won't be another clue today or tomorrow. You are now returned to your regularly scheduled program as I'm turning the microphone off and handing it back to Provape.

I do think many of you are really going to like the "sumpin new!" And I look forward to seeing your reactions when it's officially released! Yes I am!

My best to you all!:thumbs:

(PS: It's OK to Like This Post - It Really Is!)

To the hostess with the mostest... this has been a blast and VERY well done! I tip my party hat to you, Sir Brow! :toast:

Thank you VERY much, for all the hilarity, the amazing clues and poems, and for being a true gentlewoman, start to finish!!

And we're proud of your, SR! And SOME of us are hoping that we WON'T be inclined to spend more money.

But these are the pointless laments of a vaper, aren't they?

Cheers, 'Mercans! (I'm pretending I'm an Aussie since Aussie Day was this week). Fire up that barbie, Barbie! :unsure:
Problem for me is, I'm always spending money- not just for vape stuff. Just ordered my phone holster. Fastest $200 (includes shipping) I've ever spent.

I'm not liking this merely because you've said more times than I can count this was for fun so I am not appreciating you abandoning it because some of us wanna know now rather than later & others just don't like games. You're one of ProVapes biggest cheerleaders & you're throwing in your pom poms??? UNACCEPTABLE!!!
I need to spend some more money to get over the surprise of this disappointing post!

I just voiced my opinion about the 'game', my opinion is neither right or wrong.
My opinion hasn't changed, beyond unprofessional and childish, a really poor marketing tool / business model unless you're trying to attract teenagers & retirees.

To me it seems simple, start a new thread " Guess whats coming next for the Radius / with clues ".
Or " What is in the works for the Radius " .

Better yet, from Provape directly, " Here's what we are working on for the Radius" what it is, tentative completion date, we will update this thread as progress is made.

This is a manufacturer sponsored & specific sub forum, in a thread specifically titled for a relatively new product.
IMO,
A thread where potential customers could/should be able to gather information to help make their decision.
And, where current customers/owners could discuss features, get tips and find factory/manufacturer as well as current user support for minor issues.
I believe the Radius threads have driven away more potential customers than they've attracted.

I've always tried to follow the 'if you don't like it don't read it' mantra when participating in interwebz forums.

It is difficult to read through the several dozen pages of fluff, games & off topic chit chat only to find the very same questions asked over & over remain ignored.
Or worse, someone from the peanut gallery takes upon them self to belittle those asking, post snarky remarks, then spin it off into more off topic rabbit hole chasing instead of just keeping their fingers shut.

It is obvious representatives of Provape frequent these threads, seems they could address frequent/popular questions directly or in a temporary sticky. FAQ- Radius.
Seems they could limit chit chat, eliminate snark & off topic rabbit chasing in threads specific to the power devices they offer and steer them in a more technical support based direction.
There are several threads in this sub forum just for general chit chat already.

I'm not ......, miffed or the least bit worked up about this, some of us have very limited time to spend on vaping stuff, probably the main reason we buy provape products in the first place.
Reliable, quality, durable products.
When we have to wade through dozens of pages of nothingness to find one tidbit of actual information it wastes time we don't have to waste.
Believe it or not, some of us must focus on & attend to actual work, I know for some it is impossible to believe we actually have a life beyond vaping.

Of course, that's all just my opinion...

Have a wonderful day. :thumbs:
