My new customized replacement for the Black Onyx is finally in! I really, really like this one. It has a nice classy look to it, and almost feels antique with the Bronze finishing. I like the blue, dark enough to have some character, but still noticeably blue. The bronzed metal is very well done, not cheap looking or tacky in any way. I don't feel like I'm carrying a "bling" mod, but rather something very unique and special.

Does he vape or just think you are bonkers or both?

He doesn't vape and he doesn't just think I'm bonkers, he knows I'm bonkers! But he's very proud that I haven't had a stinky in almost 5 years. Not one. My 5 year vapeversary is July 4th. He never smoked and so hated that I did. So, he let's me indulge in my vape fun as he knows it keeps me off the cancer sticks.

I have signed the petition, so thanks for reminding us all that we need to do so.

On the debate comment, I really was not trying to debate anyone on anything. I'm sorry you took it that way. I so agree with your comment that rights are getting trampled across so many groups. I'm just a little sensitive as laws are being enacted specifically to trample my rights and that is such a direct correlation (at least in my mind and thinking) to the deeming regulations if enacted and similar to people being told they can no longer vape at an outdoor concert.
Wasn't directed at you personally Rod. Multi quote in tapatalk isn't cooperating. Just a general suggestion before it turns into a heated debate[emoji3].

I'm involved in a lot of fights and mediate a lot. You'd be surprised at how many "correlations" there really are.

Very cool. 5 years vaping IS bonkers as I tried vaping 5 years ago and the technology was terrible. I couldn't do it. Amazing you could.

As an aside, I had lunch with a great friend that I haven't seen in years yesterday that still smokes 1.5-2 PAD and he tried vaping a few years ago and it also didn't take. He is turning 50 and his 46 year old brother (also a heavy smoker) just had a stroke. Needless to say, I will be down to 11 Provaris next week as I am setting him up with a 2.5/Nautilus Mini/juice. Hope THAT takes. :)

Wow...

Nobody talking about PURPLE???
Is it just me or does the purple Radius seem a tad opportunistic? Maybe just good/bad timing?

A small donation to some kind of charity would be a cool gesture, maybe?

Just my $0.02 of course.

Thanks, but I certainly have a tendency to open mouth and insert foot on the forum! Oh yes I do! And yes, this is a vaping forum, so I should know better than to correlate my experiences to vaping. But this is a big part of my life and sometimes, I just can't help myself!

It's been a journey for sure, which certainly didn't start with Provari's. But I so wanted to be a non-smoker that by the time I did discover Provape, it was so easy to keep vaping and never want another cig again. Your friend is lucky to have you looking out for him. Yes he is!

It's not possible Provape could have possibly made this an opportunistic release. They've been working on adding this color for some time and it is just coincidence if'n your referring to the timing with Prince.

I don't feel it was in any way opportunistic. They had to have been working on it for some time, I thought is was cool that they did release it, and they didn't make a big deal about it, just put it up on their site.

We can absolutely agree to disagree this time, my friend. :p

I liken the purple Radius release to someone selling knockoff Bowie t-shirts on the street outside a Bowie tribute concert a day after he died.

If it was on the radar anyways, the cool thing to do would have been to wait a week or two out of respect.

Just my opinion of course. ;)

Really really terrible timing then.

For the first time ever, I can say that I am extremely unimpressed with ProVape.

Last I am gonna say about this subject as I love my 12 ProVape devices as well as you folks and really don't want to get banned.

You and I will always be friends, but I so totally disagree with you on this. Prince didn't own the trademark on the color purple. He had a hit song with Purple in it. Provape's timing on this had absolutely nothing to do with the untimely death of a great artist and to suggest they should have waited to release a new color which would likely be popular and make them money is not disrespectful to Prince or his fans. In fact, I'm quite convinced Prince was not a consideration to this release at all.

Given your line of thought, maybe Macy's should pull all shirts in Purple off their shelves to honor Prince?

And if they did wait a week or so, then it could be speculated that the death of the Prince was a motivating factor in making a purple one.
Talk about a rock and a hard place for ProVape. Unfortunate timing for them is all I can get from this.

I don't believe there is any connection with the release of the Purple Radius and the death of Prince ... other than coincidence.

we don't even know how Prince died yet.
He was knocked off by ProVape... Just so they could release this Purple Radi!!!

LOLz

Just JOKING Everybody.

Not the same at all.

I am talking about a company releasing a brand new purple version of a product that hasn't had a new color release for months the day after Prince dies.... "Levi's releases brand new purple jeans!!!".... the day after Prince dies... but no correlation... Okie dokie.

Not cool and I'm never buying one, but whatever.

Back to other topics for me before I get in trouble.

P.s. Love u Rod! :):p

P.p.s. I WAS going to post a picture of a P3 with a baby rhino and/or baby panda in the background from my zoo visit this afternoon, but you Prince haters can forget it!!!:nah::p
