Well, I just sent back my RADIUS to the mothership :(

No RADIUS for me for some time :(

It was a Black Onyx one, but I asked them if it could be possible to send a Ghost White, in case they decide to replace it for a new one, of course, after the corresponding checking and tests.

If they send the Ghost White, I hope not to regret about the color (the Black Onyx was so classy). :D
Best wishes Ariel, for a speedy and safe travel of your Radius!

If the nautilus was not an option to buy meaning there also would be no kabuki and you could not build a coil so you needed a drop in tank what would you get? I ask cause a friend's mom has a nautilus and does not like it. She is legally blind so on a very fixed income and can not afford a kabuki. What other options could I direct her towards? I just found out about her dislike today so I have not gone to take a look. But when I can and she still can't get it what options do I have?

Here is another affordable choice...

It can also use the newer K1 coils.

510 threading, so no ego adapter needed. Rugged lil tank!

Looks like we may have been wrong...in his latest vid pbusardo said he just got a Radius in the mail and will be looking at it, so I'm guessing there will be a review in a few weeks.

I'm looking forward to his review. Even if he's moved solidly into the TC camp at this point, I fully expect a fair and unbiased review that judges the device on its own merits, unlike the "review" that a certain individual put up that was soundly mocked in this very forum.

I'm sure there will be "no temp control...possible thumbs down. only 40 watts...possible thumbs down...$200...possible thumbs down"

Hope I post clear this time! I miss several android phones, because the one I have keeps working! You will need every iphone that comes out!!

I've only ever had 2 iPhones (well, 3 with my work phone). I started with the 4s, which I still use today in a speaker dock, and the 6+. My work phone is an iPhone 4, and it still works fine and has good battery life. It gets charged every day, and used a lot every day - company email, etc. Apple uses good batteries - they don't need changing.

In a post about his outlook for vaping in 2016, PBusardo stated that he thinks that sub-ohming and cloud chasing are ridiculous trends that he hopes will go away.

(SNIPPED...) So, unless you're paying $160-something for an iPhone (not a single one is that cheap), you're not paying anywhere NEAR "about half the price of a new one to have it replaced."


(SNIPPED...) Anytime I've ever had an issue with an iPhone, I took it directly to Apple to see what my options were. I was never disappointed. Even if the issue occurred outside of the warranty, I was willing to pay for repair/replacement or just upgrade cuz it was time anyway.
But hey, just like we tell all those lunatic anti-Provarians:
Nobody is forcing you to buy it!

My son used to say the same as Duane did. And if all they were charging for a new battery was $79 my son would've gladly paid it. He always got some ridiculous amount & for what they wanted he'd come out cheaper buying a new phone. Our experiences havent been as great as yours.

It was one of my reasons for staying away from iPhones for years.

But they've NEVER charged more than $79 for a battery replacement. NEVER. We all learn at an early age how to build a case to justify getting the newest [insert whatever gadget you want here].

I have a 128gb iPhone 6+ ... it is, by far the best phone I've ever used :cool:

the battery life is simply amazing ... I play a game called Real Racing 3 on it

I find the iPhone to be a far better user experience than any Android phone out there. I got the iPhone 6 when it came out and it's the second smartphone that I kept for more than a year.

As do I, but I can't remember the last time a non-sub tank was released. I hope the cloud chasing thing goes away too. Jerks doing that stuff in public are more annoying than smokers, not to mention hurting vapings image and probably encouraging "you can't vape here" rules.

My sub-ohming is usually kept to a minimum. When I started vaping, I got a sub-ohm setup from my local B&M (they seem to cater mainly to cloud chasers), but then I discovered Provari and RTAs, which are far more to my liking, as I'm a flavor chaser. I honestly don't see the purpose of 200W mods, but that's just me.

When I first started shopping at my local vape shop, as soon as you walked in the door it was like walking into a fog machine. That was then. When I go in now, most are using tops like a Kabuki on a regulated mod, like a Radius. The owner of the shop's daily driver is a Radius with a Kabuki. Times change and so do people's priorities.

Typing in caps doesn't change my or my sons' experience. I've been an Apple customer long before they started making phones.
