That would be a slow 3 weeks for you, eh??!! LOL

I averaged buying 1.25 ProVaris per month over the last 2 years ... I just shipped the eVic mini to the guy who is going to send me a ProVari V1 :cool:

As I've mentioned before ... these ProVaris are cheaper than cartons of smokes :smokie:

That's a lot, but not really if you smoked even fairly heavily.

How many tanks do you have roughly? Do you have many non-Provari mods?

Just curious, this isn't 60 Minutes or anything. ;)

I think you missed my point. the poster said that theirs was dropping from the get go. Even with a K4. Most of ours do not do that! K4's are not normally run at sub-ohm. (they have a bad habit of burning wicks when run at sub-ohm and high wats.;)

Knife

Sorry for missing your point.:|

Knowing them (not personally) they probably thought of this...
But who knows? It's possible I just solved a problem none of them had thought about!
Hi HB,

We had a lot of discussion around captivating the screws but not with a C-clip. That makes us nervous having a piece of metal that could come loose and fall into the device :)

A small O-ring was a better solution. The annoyance was when you unscrew the screw it doesn't always disengage from the threads because the O-ring keeps it in place. While you unscrew the second one, the first one can grab onto the thread again.

We are going to install O-rings onto the replacement screws to let people try them out. If they get good feedback, we can look into adding them. :)

....since its been awhile I need to toss in a :banana:

I still have my original eVic ... I quit smoking with it, topped with IBTanked Halflings (still have a box of 50 cartos for them).

Then I bought this ProVari mini 2.5 in the classies ... they were selling used for $135-$150 back then.

I quickly found the Kayfun Lite V2+ and knew the ProVari/Kayfun was all I would ever need to stay off smokes forever.

I bought all 9 of my authentic Kayfuns in the classies ... I make my own eLiquid with the Premium Vapers Tek Chemnovatic Nicotine (had relatives drive 4L into Canada for me). That super smooth Nicotine was the biggest game changer in vaping for me ... I have my ADVs dialled in, and the savings on eLiquid have paid for all the ProVaris.

These 4 setups, are what I vape daily ... plus a P3 and that new V1, which stay home bound.

But thanks for the info all the same!

Love it when the :banana:'s get thrown out!

At long last, a Radius is in my hot little hands. I'll spare you the 4-letter serenade I've been singing to the USPS, but the submoronic ......s didn't even put it on the truck for redelivery yesterday. :grr: Poor thing has been just sitting on a shelf since Saturday due to the weapons-grade incompetence of those :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:.

Post orifice ranting aside, I'm already in love. Build quality is everything I'd expect from Provape. The buttons feel great, and I have no idea how anybody else's battery screws are getting loose because mine are beyond tight. I damn near shredded my fingers getting them loosened enough to get the tab out of the battery connection--those little buggers are sharp! Downloading the upgrade software and installing firmware version 19 was a breeze, except for the part where my antivirus tried to quarantine the installer.

And of course, the performance is exactly what you'd expect from a Provari. As has been said many times by many people, it just plain works.

Now I just need to find a place that actually carries the P3 base for the Kayfun v4 other than Creme de Vape. Not that I have anything against them, just trying to avoid the hassle and added expense of international shipping.

Hello,

There is a new update to the Radius software now available - Radius Version 20

Sleep mode - A bug was introduced in the previous version that didn't allow the sleep mode to work properly. The update fixes this issue. Battery life should get better now that its working again.
Good stuff! Thanks!

You'll never get those 20 seconds back.

But I enjoyed them........And while one's Radius is updating, you get treated to at Kaleidoscope of colors as it updates. It's even more fun than watching your Xtar VP2 charge a battery.

"Not I..." said the broke man.

But I've got the donations from some wonderful members here (@stanleybb50, @raitizz, and @StealthyTX) and those bucks ain't goin nowhere but straight to a P3 Calix when I've got the rest saved up!
So, thanks again to you three! As I said many times: It was too kind, very unexpected, and outstandingly generous!
