I haven't had it long enough to judge wear and tear. But I imagine polycarbonate is easy enough to clean. Of course you can't submerge it in water but a damp sponge with mild soapy water would probably do the trick if it got super cruddy. The only thing I don't like about white is that it is translucent enough to be able to see the battery color. And it looked pearly on the site but it is really a flat creamy white. Kind of looks like what glow in the dark plastic looks like. If I could choose another color, in retrospect I would have chosen a different one. I picked up blue for my son. That is a very classy navy color.
Talk about a time sink...
And Merry Christmas, right back at 'ya. There's a new Radius update if you haven't checked. V19. The two changes are you can have a light on while it's charging, which goes off when it's charged. And you can choose manual menu system, if'n you don't like the scrolling one.
I just wanna sit here and keep liking this!!! [emoji121] Oh yes I do!!! [emoji108][emoji851]

Just to add...
Regardless of color choice. The mod is lovely. Boost is awesome. I have plenty of watts for my needs and the vape is true to Vari....smooothe.
I have wanted a Vari box for ages now. My DNA s are parked at the mo. Haven't vaped anything else in my 15 mod collection except the Reos...because well....bottom feed, enough said...Lol.

I know you'll love it too! It is the same size as the rDNA, just a tad slimmer and the rounded edges make it feel like an extension of your hand.....dreamy.
Oh and it charges pretty darned fast. I was pleasantly surprised.
Thank you for your opinion on it. I will let her know what you said. She liked the idea that the lights would show through. Not sure how she would feel about seeing the battery lol

That's the "finished charging" indicator (B-G) from the B6 beta test, which was removed in B7/v19 due to there being a large number of "smart chargers" on the market that cut off power when they don't detect a load, causing the green light to do strange things like light up for a few seconds, or not light up at all. All of my chargers, including a Dell desktop computer, caused problems. My Mac is the only thing that made it work properly, and that's not a compliment to the Mac - it's not "smart"
Maybe ProVape will figure out a different way to make that feature work in a future version, or it may be one of those things that was a nice idea, but it just didn't work out as intended. The manual menu mode and the blue charge indicator were great updates. I wonder what else ProVape has in store for us in the future?
Great to hear something positive about the charge rate. A lot of people complained that it was "only" 800mA. I've been testing a LOT of mods, and have not found any that charge over 500mA (not that they don't exist, but a large sampling so far is pretty telling). Also, the Radius is actually charging a little faster than 800mA - about 810-815mA on average, not that you'd notice the difference - just more proof that ProVape specs are not over-stated.
I love the Ghost White, and being able to see the LED colors shine through it. Also, if you have the display set to 5s or more, the opposite side has an eerie, 'ghostly' blue/grey glow. As for the battery, it's hardly noticeable. Look at the photos on the ProVape website. You can put another color battery inside, or get some thin mylar and wrap the battery in whatever color/pattern you want. If you're really adventurous, you can remove the shrinkwrap and re-wrap your own battery.
Would love to see an update, where that information is displayed on the Provari as that number can changed based on the power source.
OUTPUT FAULT [7] just bit me. I won the unlucky lotto. Guess it's back to the SXmini while the Radius gets spa treatment.
Now you're just getting fancy and technical. All you need to do is look at your charger to know what it's capable of. Computers will only send 500mA, phone chargers are mixed anywhere from 500mA to 1A, tablet chargers are at least 1A so more doesn't matter, and my USB power strip is capable of 7A total shared by 6 ports.
