It is max VG which I originally thought was NP because I've used their Red Oak line in the past which is PG free. but Red Oak line cuts with water and this White Russian I tried wasn't. It's definitely thicker. I loved it so I guess I'll see just how fast it burns a coil and then decide if it's worth the extra trouble or just something I keep on the side.

I really love that the Radius/Kabuki combo renewed my vaping enthusiasm again because I'm gonna be honest, on hot days, when I knew my carto tanks would likely leak out into my car or something, I was buying analogs and they make me feel like I'm already dead walking around on borrowed time.

I've been vaping 90% vg in a Kabuki without any problems. I don't know if it's going through coils faster, since that's all I've vaped in the Kabuki.

Leave it in right mode.

Then all you have to do is .... your arm back to read the screen without having to shift the mod around.

Righties have to flip the mod over and hold it horizontally anyway, because the display is facing the palm when the mod is held in forefinger-fire position.

The Radius works better for lefties, than righties, as is.

Check it out.

Unless you press the button with the side of your thumb like I do all my ProVarii. ;)

Me too. I'm a lefty and a righty and I don't have any problem seeing the display and using all three buttons with one hand.......except for the couple of times I turned it off and then back on.

Except when using 18650 mode on a tube, my pinky lives under the mod as a bit of support, too.

Well, that works for righties.

Something for everyone.

You can just flip the screen.

Or better yet.. let the mod fall forward into your palm: easily read.

This is the most ergonomically-easy-to-get along with mod out there.

I got R2 back in action yesterday also!

I wish I could adjust the draw on Kabuki to be as tight as the my new Natilus Mini but even with screw all the way in it's not quite.

Still wating for P3 to arrive but it was $100 cheaper than Provape so I guess I can wait a little longer...

That wrap is cool!

Interesting how we all vape so differently. My Kabukis are wide open. I mean, screws removed open. Gives me more of a subohm feel even at 9w.

I just came from the world of carto tanks the last couple years so I don't know that sub ohm feel yet. I did try the kabuki more open and straight into the lung on some .6 juice and it's really smooth and I do like it but it wasn't until I put the the nautilus mini on R2 that I realized I still get more satisfaction from that tight mouth to lung draw with a bit more throat hit like an anolog. I think I still need that for my all day vape atm. That may change...

There are ways to block the airflow, you just need to experiment.

I am just about 30 dollars away from having enough to finally get me one of these beauties.

I have been looking at the Cabernet Red one but was wondering if it was a deep red or a brighter red. And should I get a silicone cover for it or is it pretty durable. I know my satin finish Provari's has no scratches on them after 2 years and is the Radius as durable? Thanks!

The red is not a bright red at all. It really is a darker red and Cabernet is a very descriptive color. The finish, IMHO, needs no cover. After months of use now, mine has not scratched or shown any deterioration in the finish from when it first arrived. I hope this pic does the color justice:

I don't have a red, but have a blue and a black, and I think the components are the same except for the color. There isn't a hint of a scratch, nor any other esthetic issue. I personally wouldn't bother with a cover for protection, and I think it detracts from a nice looking and nice feeling mod.
