If you have some time, and extra $$$, you might want to consider Universal Studios as well. Or, hop on over to the gulf coast (my neck of the woods) and check out Bush Gardens. Years ago, a friend brought her daughters down to FL from NY, and they enjoyed Bush Gardens much more than Disney.
They still give out free beer? Likely not. :(

I was there in the late 80's or early 90's and I was feeling no pain when I left Busch Gardens... And didn't spend a cent on beer. :)

Universal is definitely on the list, never heard of Bush gardens ill have a Google ;)
Only 2 weeks so I'll try to cram in as much as possible, renting a nice big litre muscle car to get me about is on the list too :banana:

Back to the 60 watt Radius, I spoke with Provape on Facebook, asked about if it was a hardware upgrade or just software...
"Hi Winston,
Thanks for asking. It would be a hardware upgrade. Unfortunately we're not offering upgrades at this time but if that changes we'll certainly send out email and social media notification :)"

I then asked about a possible launch of a new product before fda regs....
" I've not heard anything about a new product and I don't expect there will be so, I would say you are certainly safe to purchase now!"

They don't have the hospitality house with the free beer anymore. I used to hit that, then the bird show, then more beer, then the dolphin show, then more beer... Good times!

Dude, I am Canadian and when I travel to the US on business, my hotel is like a UPS depot.

Most hotels allow 5 free small shipments and will hold for weeks for registered guests. Just ship to hotel front desk attention GUEST "your neme here".

I have had Provaris shipped like this 3x.

I'm throwing @FringeChief68 in this convo cause he does the same. I think he's had more stuff shipped to hotels than he does to his house. :sneaky: Love ya Fringe!!!
Yea I have had a ton of stuff shipped to hotels. :)

Shipping is a sore point with me atm. I ordered a Radius from Ontario to BC via courier and it took 12 days before they said that they lost it! I just sent a package via post to St.Louis Missouri and it was there in 4 days. So ya, I think that a little vacation trip to Monroe is in order. :grr:

Hey folks!


I haven't dusted the cobwebs off the Radius thread in some time!

I always thought the Radius would be my first box mod...

But then I discovered the Billet Box.

So, 4 Billet Boxes later, I'll be ready to buy my first Radius.

I'm pricing it out now on the site, and I see this:

Does that mean what I think it means????

The Radius now comes configurable in a 60 watt option???

What the what?!?

I bought a custom midnight blue with gunmetal at 60W on Thursday, it came today! I love this company! Considering whether their Kabuki tank is worth the $$$. I have a Cleto and a couple of nautilus tanks as well as a goon and several other RBAs, so maybe $99 is not worth it for the stockpile.... Thoughts?

The place you ordered from- Are they sending a replacement since the 1st was lost?

Congrats! I would love to have a 60w Radius.

Re: Kabukis... I have 4 and love them. My wife and I always have at least one each on the go daily. The ONLY issue I have with Kabukis is future availability of Nautilus coils. Is there a RBA version? Yup. A 3rd party one and it is garbage IME. Can you rebuild an Aspire Nautilus coil? Yup. But it is a total and complete PITA and not a good long term strategy IMO.

If I had the $300-400 that I spent on my Kabukis to spend again today, I would very likely buy a few KFL+ and a couple of cheap Nautilus or Triton Minis.

Hopefully Zen figures out a solution or someone comes out with an actual useable RBA.

As dead set against a RBA base as he is, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for him to produce one.
I'm truly not happy having spent $90 on a tank that's been relegated to occasional use cause I refuse to buy a lifetime supply of prebuilt coils for it.

I'm with you.

Aspire would be mental not to continue selling the Nautilus coils, but it seems that the Nauti tanks are discontinued, so who knows.

I have just under 20 boxes of coils which MIGHT last my wife and I a year absolute max. I ain't buying thousands of coils just so I can use a few tanks I love. I love my KFL+, Subtanks, Crowns and others that I can easily rebuild too!

The Triton Mini is a nice little tank too and for $20-ish, I would consider them disposable if Nauti or Triton coils were unavailable, so not an issue. $100 for a Kabuki is an issue for me.

We shall see....

the main reason I never bought a Buki ... I figured the coils were going to disappear one day.

The Kafun Lite v2+ fit perfect for my vapocalypse style of vaping ... something that will last 20+ years and cost nothing to vape.
Yup. Using an authentic one right now with my vanilla custard DIY that cost me under $5/100ml to make.:)

Okay, I'm finally in too. I'm with you on, "I always thought the Radius would be my first box mod..." in my case, 6 Dicodes box mods later, b'okay, Radius has 60 watts? Why not, gonna complete my collection and get the only mod ProVape ever made which I haven't purchased yet :)

I'm thinking if it's a choice between the Kabuki becoming obsolete or people being able to use them going forward Zen~ might have a change of heart.

I bought 2 Kabuki tanks. Sold one and may do the same with the other. I prefer various Kayfuns and don't think the Kabuki is any better than a Nautilus tank. I actually prefer the Nautilus. YMMV.
Believe me, you're not alone!!!!!!!!
