Who has the heart to tell SR ... that ProVape released the info 3 weeks ago in the Saloon ... we're just playing along for his fun.

Sux being the last to know ;)

Actually, Zen~ may have released it already.

ok so I wait all day to get to lunch. I am forcing myself to eat a salad cause I need to eat better. I get on to take a look at the clue and someone has run Sir Rod off? Well this had made an already crappy day worse. The one thing I was looking forward to today and I don't get it.

The way I see it most people in here are here all the time. The ones that come in and visit need to just suck it up. I like this group. they have fun in here and are very welcoming. If people don't like the fun games then they can take their toys and go play somewhere else.

Now where is my clue? Not that I will understand it, but heck I need something to keep my mind off work!!!!

When we have to wade through dozens of pages of nothingness to find one tidbit of actual information it wastes time we don't have to waste.
Believe it or not, some of us must focus on & attend to actual work, I know for some it is impossible to believe we actually have a life beyond vaping.

Summary - I should modify my lifestyle to suit your lifestyle. :rolleyes:

It is replies like this that have many members feeling they cannot express themselves because someone is going to attack them. Just because people aren't happy about something doesn't mean they should be treated as though they should shut up & go away.

This is the same reason a spinoff Kabuki thread had been created- so people could discuss it without being jumped on for not agreeing with others that the Kabuki is the greatest tank in the world.

Summary - fluffy peanut gallery member. :rolleyes:
not really worth responding to, just adds more fluff & off topic nothingness.

I just voiced my opinion about the 'game', my opinion is neither right or wrong.
My opinion hasn't changed, beyond unprofessional and childish, a really poor marketing tool / business model unless you're trying to attract teenagers & retirees.

To me it seems simple, start a new thread " Guess whats coming next for the Radius / with clues ".
Or " What is in the works for the Radius " .

Better yet, from Provape directly, " Here's what we are working on for the Radius" what it is, tentative completion date, we will update this thread as progress is made.

This is a manufacturer sponsored & specific sub forum, in a thread specifically titled for a relatively new product.
IMO,
A thread where potential customers could/should be able to gather information to help make their decision.
And, where current customers/owners could discuss features, get tips and find factory/manufacturer as well as current user support for minor issues.
I believe the Radius threads have driven away more potential customers than they've attracted.

I've always tried to follow the 'if you don't like it don't read it' mantra when participating in interwebz forums.

It is difficult to read through the several dozen pages of fluff, games & off topic chit chat only to find the very same questions asked over & over remain ignored.
Or worse, someone from the peanut gallery takes upon them self to belittle those asking, post snarky remarks, then spin it off into more off topic rabbit hole chasing instead of just keeping their fingers shut.

It is obvious representatives of Provape frequent these threads, seems they could address frequent/popular questions directly or in a temporary sticky. FAQ- Radius.
Seems they could limit chit chat, eliminate snark & off topic rabbit chasing in threads specific to the power devices they offer and steer them in a more technical support based direction.
There are several threads in this sub forum just for general chit chat already.

I'm not ......, miffed or the least bit worked up about this, some of us have very limited time to spend on vaping stuff, probably the main reason we buy provape products in the first place.
Reliable, quality, durable products.
When we have to wade through dozens of pages of nothingness to find one tidbit of actual information it wastes time we don't have to waste.
Believe it or not, some of us must focus on & attend to actual work, I know for some it is impossible to believe we actually have a life beyond vaping.

Of course, that's all just my opinion...

Have a wonderful day. :thumbs:
Apparently you are new to the internet and forums in general? I find your post insulting to those of us who do contribute and answer questions and enjoy others - old and newcomers - to the threads in here...all of them. You are condescending and your remarks about the posters here are uncalled for - and I'm being nice.
You have mistaken WHY this forum is here - it is a social forum that Provape pays for to allow their customers and yes, *GASP*, fans to share, chat, have fun and help each other when we can...This is not ProVape's customer care hotline. They have that feature on their website where you should go if you lack the skills to communicate effectively with your fellow man/woman without being rude. There - you sure can find out all the latest information concerning product availability when it's released. Here - you might just have some fun, make some friends and share some laughs and experiences with some of the best people around.

I just gotta say - as far as answering questions - I have rarely seen a question that wasn't acknowledged by someone - now the answer the poster may not like or maybe they are steered to the ProVape site to enter a ticket but never have I noticed anyone ignored - unless you're a troll. \

Of course, this is just my opinion...(saying that really does make me exempt from someone calling me out, right??)

All the complaints are more distracting and disruptive then anything else here. I have yet to see a question go unanswered, usually in a prompt timely manner by either users or Provape staff, often within the next two or three posts after the question is asked. Only questions I've seen ignored are those of obvious trollish nature. Even if pages and pages of "fluff" go by prior to an answer, the question being quoted, the asker will be alerted, and taken right to the answer, so no need to read through all that "fluff", though I dare say most will, because they ENJOY the atmosphere here. Yes, this IS a vendor sponsored thread/sub forum....meaning they can run it any way they wish. This is a vaping forum, not a support thread for a life support machine. A little brevity and light hearted fun is NOT out of place here, and you have the option to participate or not, as you wish. Belittling those who do wish to participate (calling the posts/games juvenile IS belittling) is really bad form. Lighten up and enjoy the ride, or get off. Don't whine and ruin the ride for those who ARE enjoying it......that is the real juvenile behavior.

One thing Provape should roll out is a 510 --> P3 converter. I know the current rings can act this way, but maybe some sort of convenient and clean looking version of it?

Zen is rolling out an adapter very soon. I expect when it's out provape will be selling it.

Good luck w/ the new thread ... hope you can keep it alive and on topic.

IMHO ... I don't think the person who was looking for a totally on topic thread here should be criticized (*)... I can see his point of view. There's almost 2000 posts here and I'm sure the vast majority aren't totally on topic. It can be a chore for someone looking for techie info to wade through all this. OTOH/IMO it's the chatty posts that keep the thread alive.

(*) except maybe for implying that questions don't get answered ... that just isn't so. Lots of helpful/knowledgable people ready to answer questions and give advice.

Things may not be on topic, and honestly i am not the best at searching on here for information. I do my google search and if i cant find it i just come here and ask. So people just ask! If it has been asked before that seems to be ok. Someone will answer you or they will give you a link to the answer. So there is no need to read the fluff.
