And......done. Ticket submitted. The real question is. FDA regulations come into effect Monday. Can a firmware update be released after that date to resolve this issue?

I have found that when I put the Radius into rotation with other mods, rather than vape it by itself, the resting period help with the battery meter. Today, it did not drain the meter completely until it was at about 1/4 full. I have already added this info to my ticket with ProVape.
That's great!! The mail lost one of my orders once from them too and they were right on top of it. I'm really glad you're enjoying the vape.
So You bought the regular 316L, and the Clapton with stainless core and kanthal wrap? I try to get 8-9 wraps of the stainless if I can fit it. So much surface area! I'm really happy it's working out well for you.
Sometimes I still really excited about a product (cough triton mini coils ) and hen after a week I realize I was caught up. I've been using the Clapton wire for I think 3weeks now. I build almost everything with it. I waited to race a little while this time. I'm learning !!
The radius seems to be build for stainless coils around the .45-.65 mark if you look at the list. My guess is replicating material and resistance of a designated tank gets he best results. Not they I'm getting bad results a by higher up, but I have to believe it's tuned in first release for that list primarily.
I've recommended the wire in a few threads (not really cross posts - specific to the devices) where I thought it really awakened a given tank or whatever. I hope we see a lot more people give it a shot and smiling big with flavor satisfaction and good DENSE vape. I wish I knew how to get quality dense vape earlier. And this wire gives us a very easy way in most tanks.
I was shocked the chalice v3 can accept it too. For squonk fans. That is a 16mm atty with tiny build deck and minuscule hollow screws. - the wire diameter is probably around 27 gauge standard kanthal. I'll take a measurement with calipers tomorrow.
Man I typed a book again. Sorry all, too thorough and banging on. No more about it unless someone asks a specific question I didn't answer already (impossible!)
I need to get my two mm class minis sold so
I can get a second radius.

By the way. The battery issue you guys are describing with the radius sounds an awful lot like my p3 problem.
I have a 509 series battery in there right now. 87 iq. 4v setting. Held a vape for around 8 seconds and went from 65% to 16%. Then back to 18 where it's stayed for several vapes now.
This is a huge problem with 350. batteries. I can hit it maybe 3 time. Then I have to take the Cap off and reset it at which point I have 58% left.
I
Don't have the issue with my radius. But it is with virtually every battery on the p3
I have to wonder if there is some basic underlying element. High internal resistance in the batteries. Low internal resistance. Perfect storm of build and power and battery amp draw.
In sending the p3 in this time and I resolution they replace the chip. Third visit to them for this issue and save slot corruption issue.
Does hat sound like the same sort of battery issue ?
Used relatively evenly. Huge drop. Then stays level. Then dead.

Don't worry R...
The reported issues only seem to be affecting the new "Coil Control" modes...
No reports of these issues in regular watts mode...which all I'll ever use on the thing.
Coil Control, Temp Control, Temp Guessing...blah. None of it is for me.
1.0-1.2 ohms at 10 watts is perfection for me.
I could build it in my sleep.
As understood, no, that would in effect make it a new product requiring a pre market tobacco application.
What HB said. It is only happening on coil control. We all filed tickets and ProVape is working on a resolution for us.
As for P3's, I actually have never updated mine, but I never really had any battery meter issues. On all ProVarii, though, the meters lose power while in use, and regain it in rest. The Radius issue was an extreme drain, unlike what I've seen on other devices.
I'm still going to get one myself. The Radius issue is only in coil control, and I'm thinking it can be fixed with a firmware update.
For the record. No issue with my radius. - the p3 has been very unusual issues wise. I wouldn't consider this a common issue at this point. Even if my p3 matches up with the radius issue presented by w couple of people.
I'll
Pay close attention today to the radius. Due to the larger battery it is possibly I'm missing stuff.
Thanks. Yah extreme drain would describe it more thanks. Meter issue. I've den meter issues. He p3 issue I have isn't that.
It's been driving me crazy especially with 350'series batteries. Stumping me why I have some with high iq that last literally through 45 seconds of active vaping.
Come to Papa, you sexy little 60-watter!
Ordered this morning, hopefully it'll be in my mailbox by next Friday!

This does not sound right to me.
A firmware to fix a bug is not really a new product, is it?
The new firmware is to make the device behave in the manner it was originally advertised to behave.
Time will tell.......
I had the same reaction but it's correct. The rule was quoted if it adds new features it's a new product. New color is a new product too.
. Releases don't count. Major revisions do.
M no bug fixes would not count as a new product however adding temperature control to a mod didn't have it before would which is one reason why coil control is out before the eighth
You will likely see most manufacturers who have user upgradable firmware release a bunch of beta features before August 8
I wonder if a mod has temperature control if changing material types would count as a new product that's where we may have trouble with the radius unlike the DNA mods or the ones that allow you to enter TCR value
I guess coil control is broad enough that it covers any material type they wouldn't be adding temperature control with Nicole or temperature control with stainless steel that's probably why they chose a broad term
It would be really clever to change features with config files not firmware updates
if you release a mod that reads some kind of ini file on boot you can change Core function in that file with a download from any dropbox or Google hosted account and the mod doesn't change
I'd like to see manufacturer shift to that over a standard firmware system.
If y ou use a skeleton firmware Which reads all of its parameters for operation from a simple file the possibilities are endless and you don't need complicated software. They may be averse due to end user hacking by they'd probably benefit from s user community expanding features - like open firmware for Routers - they could split the file for function too.
For non technical people. The mod starts and says find this file for screen layout. Find this file for power profiles. Find this file for user settings.
Instead of coding in an entire "map" you'd just have directions to a guy at the corner who
Could walk you to the destination. You change the guy at the corner if you need new directions. The function of the mod is to ask for directions. Nothing changes for certification purposes.

B e a utiful.
I really want to know how that black finish holds - I guess there's a dark Grey metal finish that's similar but not painted, anodized maybe. I'm torn. I really want a storm trooper radius!
Just adding to the sample, I have not seen the battery problem with my Radius since I started using CC. I'm really not sure why there would be a variation among models.
I normally don't even look at the battey level unless I'm leaving the house or I fail to get a vape when I press the button. I'll start checking it more often to make sure I don't have the same issue as the others.

Inconsistent battery chemistry could explain it. What would be beneficial is for those experiencing it to change the battery and see if it continues. Preferably to a different brand
I know on the p3 aw was no longer recommended because the low internal resistance caused issues with the meter and such. I wonder if the 25r inside the radius is being manufactured in several locations and sourced through the same wholesaler but different origin points. Or if batches are varying. Do all those experiencing the issue have the standard battery. Extended battery ??
Anyone using aw 650 inside the radius ?
Since the first time the battery was low in the Radius, I've had an HG2 installed 98% of the time. This model has consistently shown to be superior to the other models I have, and I am using it in all my 18650 flat top applications. That includes Radius; SX Mini M and ML; and DIcodes Dani Box.
While on the subject, I did find some button top 25rs and tried them in my 2.5s. I didn't notice any difference between them and the AW batteries.
I have a snake skin radius with the black finish that I got as soon as the customized options for the Radius were offered. So far it has held up very well with no chipping, dings, or fading. I'm very pleased with it. Disclaimer: Being retired I've mainly used it while at home, I've only taken it out in the wild 3 or 4 times. Here's a pic taken on one occasion when I took it outa the house.
