I chose to go with Ver 26 and hope it's a good move, because after 8/8 if any glitches are found and no change to the deeming, there won't be a fix available unless ProVape wants to thumb it's nose at the FDA...

That's not accurate from
What I understand.
They have at least another 21 months to certify before having to pull anything released prior to 8/8

Which part? As I understand, any change to software makes it a new product, and it must be removed from market until a PMTA is approved.

I do t think that's the case but I could be wrong. At least we agree that anything existing product wise prior to 8/8 has almost two years to certify. No new products without certification from 8/8 on

I cannot believe hasn't been amended already. People are in for a very very rude awakening. I'll be ordering a couple of
Liters of juice and half a liter of nicotine in the next month.

And another radius.

Ugh. Stupid gicernment making my month expensive

I'll grab old versions of firmware for my mods as a safety precaution. Thanks.

Quickest solution is create an offshore company and shift it all to That. At least when you thumb your nose then you're a bit less culpable. Though I question how hard it's going to be enforced when they realize 85% of Chinese goods are making it to market via mail while they crush US innovation and taxable revenue.

If he story is getting hotter and it's in power mode that had to
Jean they adjusted the power settings to reflect more accurately and we should adjust our preferred settings to know it's the proper output right ?

I started off at G1, which is what they recommend and then adjusted around somewhat, when the recommended setting for the BVC didn't give very good results. At one point it kicked out a code, "can't control temp switch to power mode", so even using the hunt and peck method they recommend for unlisted coils didn't work out. Not knocking it, just not getting a very good vape out of it.

As written, the deeming absolutely crushes innovation. It was written to effectively keep any new products from being able to even enter the market, and as applied, it can and will be used to remove any products that already exist that deviate in any small way from how they exist on the date of the enforcement. That includes color of product, software, packaging, and a slew of other variables. It really is that bad as the rule was written.

Seemed worth it for any improved battery management.

I'm just asking...

Version 40cc has Version 26 incorporated into it except it includes Coil Control right? So, why not keep 40cc or even download it but go back to Watts Mode if you don't like CC or even don't plan on using it (but it will be there in case you ever decide to)? What's the difference? Am I missing something?

Just askin'...

I just cant believe this garbage is happening to us. I am not anti government or anything like that but this is clearly being done to crush competition to big tobacco because they have lost so much money with people quitting cigarettes.

What is that technically. A herd
Of provari. A flock of provari. A school of provari?

A shrewdess, a cete?

I know. It's a cauldron of provari (name for a group of bats - Google it , true story)

Maybe it's a litter or a gang or a pace

Is it a parade of provari?

A plentiful prickle of provape provari power pods?

Three cheers for alliteration.
How 'bout a preponderance of Provari?
... or a ransom of Radii
a vengeance of vapes
an ecstasy of e-cigs
a revolution of Radii
a dementia of deemings
a farting of FDAs

...

Sorry, need more meds.

I dunno. Don't need it cluttering up the menu mostly.

I picked up my 3rd Radius in all black. Technically not a true stealth since the screen and buttons arent dark. On this one I got a Nautilus X running at 15 watts and its quite enjoyable. The Nautilus X is a nice small tank but my one gripe is sometimes flavors seem to be a little muted. Not bad mind you but I notice it. Still a nice little tank though.

I just upgrades to V26 for all mine except my ghost white Radius which I put the 40cc update on.

I actually bought a Sigelei 213 and was loving that little mod until the fire button began to misfire after a week of use. Also the battery meter was insane. Would constantly jump between half and full and every where in between. So having paid full price for the 213 (I know I didnt do my research) I went back and paid the difference on another Radius because there wasnt anything I wanted. Glad I did too. Not even in the same ballpark regarding quality.

I am hoping Provape will continue to improve and update the Radius especially after all this FDA crap hits. I just saw the 60W but since I probably wouldnt vape over 40W I will hold off and maybe get one down the road.

That should be there. We're looking for a device not s port or system tool. Anything with a red X or yellow ! Would be a dead giveaway. Behind that you're looking for something titled usb "some kind of device name"
Sorry about dropping off last night, the sandman got me.

I can't find anything with the red or yellow icons. I do remember them from previous windows versions. Can you, or anyone else find the files on your computers and let me know what the were named, and where you found them? Maybe if I can search for files/folders I can see if the install went correctly. I think my problem shows up after the reboot step when you plug in the Provari and Windows is supposed to notice a new device and start installing it. My PC is not noticing that I attached a new device to it.

I did start a help ticket with Provape last night to see if they have any ideas.

It seems like the windows is not recognizing that I have added a hardware device to the system, and when I tell it to search for new devices it wants bluetooth or wireless. The batteries charge when I hook up to the PC, so at least that part works.

Thank you for helping me out.

I flashed to the CC firmware yesterday and after a glitch trying to use SS, I'm pretty happy with the change.

I had SS in a Kayfun and after looking at the chart I tried H and I levels. Both were flamethrowers. I tried some of the other levels but kept getting power too high alarms and didn't feel like taking the time to investigate further.

So I took a Kabuki from another mod (1.8 coil), and installed it per the chart at G. A few changes on the power and it is giving really good results at G2. I was ready for this to NOT to be a thing, so I don't think it's my imagination that the vape is noticeably better than it's ever been. Very dense, great throat hit, and really flavorful. Mind you, the tank and juice was being used on a P3 so there was a clear comparison.

In my opinion, Pro Vape's engineers have once again shown their stuff. With their insistence on "if it's not 100% we won't produce it" the company ethic will not allow them to call it Temp Control, so therefore we get Coil Control and a bit of confusion.

In the real world, in the last 12 hours it's been doing temp control just as well as my Yihis and DNAs, but is a whole bunch easier. It's not quite to the Dicodes level yet, but is impressive for the first (and regrettably due to the FDA probably last) shot.

Again, trying not to add drama where it doesn't exist but I think this firmware is a major deal in the world of Provari. Other companies would have promoted and advertised a new chip with temp control. But Pro Vape seems to have just made a stealth release. The amazing thing is that the capability seems to have been there all along. Other companies produce a totally new board, but my Radius only had to get a firmware change.

I'll be working with the SS when I feel like messing around with getting the right profile. I hope I don't live to regret this possibly over-the-top post, but for right now I'm very, very impressed and just as much surprised.

And because when big tobacco loses so so so many others who get paid seriously by lobbyists. And so does he fed lose their sin tax money's.

Anyone have any suggestions on the best wire to buy so I can try this 'CC' with my Kayfun 5. I've been using 28 gauge kanthal, 7 wraps, 1.4 ohms. Seems like the resistance is so much more different on these other types of metal/wire. Looking for the best flavor/battery life. Anyone have any suggestions on the best thing to play around with. Never really messed with temp control all that much.
