So it took me all day to update our 3 Radii. Our son dropped off his laptop (we only have Mac's) and our grandkid to babysit today on his way to work.
He didn't tell me his laptop needs a password to sign in. Yikes! Had to wait all day 'till he came back again, to use the laptop. Actual time to update the 3 R's less than 15 minutes. But geez it was a long day waiting ... worse then vapemail waiting.
An yepper I like the 2 new features. But boy is that blue light bright when it's steady on. It's gonna be a heck of a night light next the to bed for overnight charging. I'll be too lazy to turn the feature on/off.

I have the SXmini M class, and had an S class before that. I wanted basically the same mod, only with temperature limiting ability. It's a fine mod - really well built (but has a "handmade" list of imperfections), great display (nothing beats it IMHO, not even the Radius), very accurate, very comfortable, and very heavy (a negative for some people). I really, really don't like the look of the newly designed ML class, and would wrap that thing in a silicone sleeve right away - just my personal opinion. I might look into getting the SX350Jv2 modders board and upgrade my M class (voiding the warranty, of course, but not something that concerns me much). Being a Chinese company however, I dread if I ever needed to send it in for service.
The Radius is a different beast. You'll find you hold it differently than the SX. Not better, not worse, just different. It's much lighter, charges faster, is better built, about 1/4" shorter, has better support, and will likely outlast the SX 3:1. It's like comparing mechanicals - they're all metal tubes that hold batteries, but the designs are so different from one to another (just talking about the good ones that you have no complaints about).
Battery life really depends on the battery you're using. You can work out the math, based on the efficiency of the mod, but in reality you won't notice any difference. Everyone here who is impressed with the battery life on the Radius says that because they were using an 18350 or 18500 with their P2/P3, and really never tried an 18650. The logic is simple - at the same wattage, two mods will use the same amount of battery power, give or take a few %, which is really impossible to notice without tracking puff counts and draw times.
I really have to give the Radius and SX mods the top two places in the regulated mod world, and that's above other mods using the SX chipsets, because they get different firmware than the SXmini mod. It's like owning both a Porsche and a Mercedes - they're both good, but very different from each other. I've been using the Radius exclusively since I got it - likely because of "shinyitis". I wouldn't want to give up either one, but again, expect the Radius to be working long after the SX dies.
Amazon.com: [Upgraded Version & All Smart Ports] Sabrent (35W/7A) 6-Port Family-Sized Wall Charger Multi Port USB Charger Portable Battery Charger for iPhone 4S, 5S, 5C, 4; iPad 4, Mini, Air; Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 3; Galaxy Note 3, 2; Galaxy S4, S3; HTC One; Smartphones, 5V Tablets, Bluetooth Speakers & Headsets (AX-USB6): Cell Phones & Accessories
That's from my Amazon order page, so the exact model I chose.
PS - I actually bought another one to use at work.
From my short experience, frequent charging with 80%-90% full battery can cause the issue. That's just a theory from experience - I'd have to repeat it multiple times to say "yes", so "maybe".
Anything made by Anker on Amazon gets stellar reviews.
I'm extremely pleased w/the 5 port version I bought.
Wow seems like a lifetime ago the Radius was first announced, now it's just 2 sleeps and ill have my hands on my ghost white Radius.
I got an Sx mini ml class yesterday, and i have to say I'm very impressed, battery life is epic, build quality is top notch and feels so comfy to use. The Radius has a lot to live up to, if it does ill be a very happy vaper on Christmas day
HAPPY CHRISTMAS FOLKS!
Just my humble and perhaps biased opinion, but Sx Mini is not even in the same class as the Radius. Hell, not even in the same school FAIC.
I did mention biased right? 
"PROnouncements" of any type are historically followed by the flash of Damascus steel, creak of saddle leather, and or the whispering chimes of chain mail. Thought mine was pretty mild as those things go..taa!
Oh, did I mention the charity part listed above?

I have this one
They also make this one
Nifty piece of geek ware. Smarter than me. Maybe read a few reviews.
I use their liquids and love them! In fact, I only buy juice from two vendors, Johnson Creek and ProVape! Their (ProVape) nicotine is extracted from American grown tobacco! I love their Snicker Doodle, White Grape, Caramel and Whitehorse Tobacco. When vaping Caramel in public, I always get tons of compliments on the odor from complete strangers. Everyone says it smell like maple syrup.
Speaking of Poor, wish I could afford Provapes e-liquid! Ouch!!!

Thanks. I was wondering. Love the hardware, but hadn't seen any talk anywhere about the juices. Guess I'll give the sale a try.
