I am a little OCD with "new hobbies".;)

I went a little mental, but glad I found Prevape. Not smoking is the only justification I need. :thumbs:
Not Smoking... The Bestest Reason of ALL!!!

So a little update.

I have owned the Radius for a week now. It has not left my side since I got it. I ordered two Kabuki tanks for each Radius I own. It put my CoV Vengeance tank to shame. It os like it transformed my Radius into a different device. On my ghost white Radius I put the Ti Kabuki and swapped out the back o-rings for the clear/white ones. I think it is a perfect look. The stainless Kabuki is on my black Radius.

But on to the performance of the Radius. It has been an absolute pleasure to vape. With the Vengeance tank with a 0.8 ohm coil I was around 28-30 watts. But with the Kabuki tank using the Nautilus 1.8 ohm coil I am at about 15 watts. And I am VERY surprised at the vapor production and flavor I get. And the battery life has been very good as well. The combination is so good I think ProVape should sell the Radius and Kabuki as a package or something.

When someone sees the Radius they ask what it is. of course I get asked "How many watts is it?" or "What does that cost?" and naturally when I answer both of those questions I get looks of disgust or disbelief. I had a guy who in the shop I was at who was 18 or 19 ask me those questions and flat out said I was "stupid for wasting money on a 40 watt device". Its hard to get someone to understand who doesn't own one or who doesn't understand ProVape. But that is ok. I know I love it.

I have DNA 200 devices and 75, 80, 150, 200 watt devices and they are fine. But I absolutely love the Radius. It does what I want and gives me a fantastic vaping experience. I don't care it doesn't have temp control because I personally don't use it.

I do have the silicon sleeves for both of mine but they detract from the look. So I use them when I driving or doing anything active. But I have to say I am very very happy with the Radius as well as the Kabuki tank. Big thumbs up!

Yes! Indeed! Totally agree with your post. I used for months and decided I don't need TC or anything over 14 watts to have a satisfying vape. My 2 Radii are my goto vapes ... all my other mods are just sitting around (including a bunch of 2.5 & P3 Provari's)

I still like my P3 and in fact just ordered a third Kabuki for my P3. My P3 was my very first device and I still like using it.

But yeah I love the simplicity of the Radius and with the Kabuki tank it's also my go to vape. I even sold off a lot of my other devices. I have other devices I still enjoy but the Radius is fantastic.

I know some people will find 40 watts and no temp control too limiting but for me I'm sitting a 14 watts with my set up and it vapes great. I was surprised at how well the Nautilus 1.8 coils perform.

How is the battey life on this. I usually vape at around 1.5 ohms and I guess you can say I am a chain vapor when I am at home. Is it any better then the 2.5?

I guess it depends on what battery you're running in your 2.5? The Radius is a 18650 only device. I'm a 10 watt vaper and I can get pretty much 2 days out of a single charge. Your mileage will of course vary depending on how much you vape, but battery life in a Radius is pretty darn tootin great!

I find that comical and sad, all at once. He who laughs last..... (hint: that will be us) ;)

Sounds like you are one happy vaper, Gari! Congrats!

The 2.5 was/is a pretty efficient device. I have a Radius and vape pretty much like you described, I don't think you would see much difference at all between the two in run time, like Rod said, assuming you could use an identical cell and of course were running an identical attie / power settings.
