Official ProVari Radius Thread - Part 2

[Mr. Offic3]

Fellows, my Radius just notified me about an update over the air with 200w and temp control. Looks interesting, but i'm afraid it will turn into a 50$ mod. What should i do?

I don't know you so I'm finding it a bit challenging to understand your sense of humor; or lack there of.
This reads as a troll post...not calling you one...just seems you're trying to start something here which isn't necessary.
And FWIW, many including myself are very satisfied with our Joyetech products. They don't have to be the cost of a Radius in order to work.

Sorry, i thought it will be funny

I've also noticed about once a week, 8 hours of charging, and it's still not fully charged. Blue light still on, and charging.

I can't say I've noticed a problem with charging internally, but last night I set it to charge in the bedroom, and woke up 6 hours later, still dark outside, and the bedroom was still glowing bright blue. Shouldn't have taken 6 hours to charge with a 7A charger, especially when the battery wasn't empty, so something's definitely odd. A couple hours later when I got out of bed, the blue light was off. Usually I charge during the day at my desk, and it only takes 2-3 hours for the blue light to go out.

 

[JohnD0406]

And do you take pictures of every mod you receive?

Yes, of course - doesn't everyone? Don't forget the obligatory vacation photo also. Here's my Radius on the balcony of my in-laws home in Kyoto, Japan:

I'm thinking English is not the native language?

Some things get lost in the translation

I almost thought the same but then said nope...that ain't it. The 1st was the lesbian sticking to using a tube mod. The innuendo was loud & clear no matter what the native language is.

It was directed at @Lemwise in regard to the niece he bought the Radius for. And as much as Lem can raise some feathers, he said nothing for someone to think coming at him like that was ok.

That comment was crude & not funny!

Ok.....I'm done talking about this- think I'll go play in my virtual world.

The 6 tanks in the middle are all the same Kayfun Lite v2+ ... those are different flavours I vape daily

the rest are backup Provi

My Vapocalypse thinking ... one tank and one device ... no coils

Enough DIY eJuice to last ... like forever

I honestly look at it like this ... I got this stuff for free with quitting smoking

the last 18 ProVaris I bought were under $40 each.

I've bought a bunch of ProVaris lately too since ProVape started running them out the door. At this point 10 of my reserve.

Gee, I didn't get the, "lesbian - tube mod" thing until you pointed it out. I was wondering why he said that? Now I get it...

I don't have a problem with someone making fun Chinese mods, they suck IMHO. YMMV.

STOP RIGHT THERE! I know the batteries and coils I use are made in china.

The virtual world can be kind of comforting, huh? Mine is here and Xbox Live. Although I have to say, if a "Angel Of The Lord" came to me and said, "You must give up your fancy, dancy self upgraded to the max HP PC or your Xbox One," I'd point to my PC and say, "The computer is right over there, take it."

Totally missed that one. I don't read every post

Or to paraphrase Mark Twain: If vaping is not allowed in heaven, I shall not go.

I cant remember when's the last time I turned on my XBOX, PS3 & PS4 & sat down to play a game. I used to let the grandson play but he'd rather play games on a tablet.
Oh....I know why I don't rock with the PS4- that one can never seem to connect to the network no matter what tips 'n tricks I've tried.
Most of my virtual playing has been with the Gear VR.

John, chances are you woke up during one of the times when a Radius which is charged turned trickle charge back on. I've noticed that both my Radius if left to charge all night, will cycle on and off after a full charge has been reached. I always thought it was just trickle charging.

In this case let your niece speak for herself. If she's old enough to vape it means she can defend herself.

Why should she need to post on the forum? Let alone "defend" herself? Her Radius arrived with a problem, she sent it back and has a 2.5 to vape until it's returned. Matter solved. Lem just told us about it, in his Lemmy grumpy way. He's our resident curmudgeon.

 

[The Ocelot]

...And do you take pictures of every mod you receive?

Actually, most do. And post a picture even if the device looks exactly like the last one posted. It's a tradition here.

 

[The Ocelot]

he secretly likes us ... Oh yeah, and the Dikode thread is always a ghost town

and yes Lem ... we do take pictures of every Provi we buy

Is that all? You need more colors for balance.

 

[The Ocelot]

There really is no way to demonstrate the movement with a photo.

The lens is obviously not glued in place (not saying it should be glued) otherwise there would not be a rattle noise.
Under lighting, I can see the movement in the lens by seeing the light reflections on the lens move when I press on it.
Again, the rattle is very light and the movement is barely noticeable, but it is there.
If I tap on the lens I can hear the play as well and if I shake the Radius I hear it move.

Not a big deal to me folks. Just mentioning this because someone else did. My lenses do not move 1-1.5mm like the other person that mentioned this issue.
In fact, from the looks of it, the lens appears to be rocking or teetering rather than moving sideways or up and down.

EDIT-
I am not concerned about "being called out" by any means. I have nothing to gain or lose here for any reason whatsoever.

How about a video? (I'm kidding!) I hope you stay around, it usually isn't so rude in here.

Yes, yes we do! I have pics and have posted pics of every Provari I've owned. It's our way of saying how much we love our Provari's! Yes it is!

In fact I posted this yesterday in the Procyon thread:
