Well my first crack at a radius holster is done. It out of scrap leather and a prototype so I didn't bother trying to match thread or lacing color too much.

I have a few tweaks to make to the pattern to get it to fit just a bit better on the height but it's pretty much set. It's also gave me some inspiration for a sleeve and a holster for my P3 and even a combo p3/radius or radius/juice bottle design.

Any comments or ideas are welcome.

No it does not mean you can't ask here.

I created the new thread for those who wish to cut the clutter, and stick to topic/question/information.

The new thread is purely NON-Social.
A non-social thread in a ProVape forum.....I don't even know how much popcorn I'll need to watch that thread. Maybe just a small page cause we all know the go out of control in 3.....2.....1

Guessing game...since the original ProVape 1 has disappeared from the lineup, wouldn't it be sweet if Provape took an interest in the Smaller battery, smaller device end of things again. Possibilities could include a 14500 battery, or, since they've already designed a built in charger with the Radius, a flat pack Li cell that would be factory serviceable. Thin as a pancake would not be possible with any of the can type cells we are familiar with. A flat pack Li cell could reduce a device to the approximate thickness of a cellphone.

There's a nostalgic quality to that. I'm already thinking back to my 510 days, when I used to carry a fistful of the things to get through the day.

A side by side would make a Radius more mini.
Hmmmm... "mini mini Radius"..... Interesting.:D

Maybe ProVape will jump on the whole "Nano" bandwagon. According to the entire vape industry, "Nano" is always smaller than "Mini". ;)

I'm disappointed that sides seem to have been chosen in an otherwise coherent little corner of the web.

I didn't comment throughout, but I suppose pehaps now is the time to offer an opinion coming from outside the core group.

I'm pretty new to this forum since I only recently became interested in (and bought a) Radius. But I'm not new to online discourse, having participated long before there was an internet as we know it today.

I understand the complaint and I also understand those who feel it was harmless fun. I was a bit taken aback at the pages and pages of nothingness, to be honest. I expect the Provari Chat forum to be full of fluff and comraderie and haven't been there more than once or twice. I should also note that I've seen AOL chat rooms, MySpace, and Facebook groups with much the same content that this thread seemed to turn to - and honestly, it's just not for me.

So, as others suggested, I simply sat back and watched the thread take its tangent. Honestly, when I'd go through three or four pages of stuff without finding any real content (even something as minor as a user's opinion) it was getting pretty tiresome. But I refuse to NOT read a Radius thread sponsored by its maker. There's just too much good information that could be missed.

So for me, the signal to noise ratio got totally out of hand. While the "teenage bunking party" comment was pretty brutal I can easily see where it came from.

I think the whole problem could have been avoided had the guessing game been in its own thread. But from what I've seen, I think the game was introduced in at least one other thread - and again, I think it diluted what the thread was ostensibly based on.

I've found that online friendships can become very real and very strong. But there's a significant possibility of the posters morphing into Our Group. Sometimes inside jokes are traded, outsiders don't feel part of the gang, and constructive criticism can be viewed as an attack on those close to you.

Neither party was wrong. Neither party should be attacked.

With the exception of ProVape and the mods, no one gets to mold the forum in just the way they want it. We all enjoy a particular product, and we should find a way to make sure that all different viewpoints get their chance.

So, coming from someone who's been readily accepted but isn't part of The Gang, please take my viewpoint in the spirit in which it was offered. I enjoy a lot of the back-and-forth among people who seem to know each other well, but I came here looking for more than just virtual bonding.

I have no idea why I felt compelled to type this much. And, again, I'm pretty new here so if I've totally misunderstood the chat room aspect I apologize in advance.

I like the idea of a 14500 device.
