Yup, I bought the stainless and Clapton you recommended. The SS was a breeze, while the Clapton took some figuring out. Might be easier to overcome the Clapton's resistance to coil to size if I torch it; my first attempt was a 2.5mm that came out at 3.0+, but still managed to fit on a Goblin mini without shorting. I couldn't get the cotton to wick in that, so I built a second coil at 2.0 that came out closer to 2.5 and wicks beautifully. I think that's still too big for the atty, as the Radius constantly errors out in cc mode. Ah well, it's a thing of beauty in watts mode.
My husband bought me a Chalice III for xmas last year by mistake--I don't have a squonker--and it was an easy build in Kanthal. I just don't care for dripping, but I did order a WotoFo Ice last night for about $20 for giggles.
So far I'm loving SS the most, as well as the Native cotton. I used a plain ole cotton ball to try out the Chalice and, um, no. I'll give the Ice a whirl, just 'cause it's so stinkin' cool looking!
My mistake...I checked my receipt and discovered it is Graphite Gray. It looks black in my hand, so I was assuming it was the stealth coating. Apologies, I didn't intend to confuse anyone.
As stated above, though, it has held up extremely well.
I have had it happen with the included 25r and one of my trusty LG hg2's, in Watts mode I have found the battery meter to be extremely accurate all the way down to a properly discharged battery, only in cc has it kicked it out between 3.7-3.8.
I was worried I wouldn't get on the Radius battery meter, I still wish it was a simple volts left, or battery under load but it's doing its job well in power mode.
Anyway loving my 60 watt Radius, dunno why I bothered with the extra 20 watt really but it's there if I ever need it. Wouldn't mind a stealth (with clear buttons) but kind of swaying towards a titanium procyon, I've caught the Provape bug again lol!
Does anybody know if the Procyon has coil control, if not are there plans for it to?
'cept maybe with a Custom ClassicsGet yourself a REO and get your squonk on with that Chalice. Hard combo to beat IMHO.

The Chalice 3 can be used as a regular dripper. No modification needed.Get yourself a REO and get your squonk on with that Chalice. Hard combo to beat IMHO.
I like it like that from time to time.

I'll have to take your word for it. I have not had the pleasure yet....
For sure. It's a little flavor bomb in my opinion.
Y'all have convinced me to take mine out of mothballs. I stored it with my original k28 at 1.2ohms build. I think I'll try SS w/cc.
If you talk to corey (the maker of the Custom Classics mods), he can make you some solid silver contacts that will fit the reo with a bit of retro-fitting....from all accounts it makes the reo hit almost as good as a CC

I finally got my Radii back from Provape and the upgrade process. I still don't know why I couldn't upgrade them, but they are now ver. 26. When we were discussing my Fire Flower Ghost, I promised to upload some photos of the wayward Rads when I got them back.
From left to right they are a Ghost with an ice flower printed clear Jwrap and a rainbow heat sink, Grape with a clear Jwrap and silver heat sink, and a Grape with a Dark Sparkle Jwrap and a rainbow heat sink. The first picture is daylight, the next group shot is with flash.
If you want to use a printed clear wrap, you will need to stick with the ghost white in order to have the image show up. If you just want to protect your metal and colored plastic, use a clear wrap. If you want to change the color of a dark body, you will need one of the heavier opaque wraps. When I wrapped my purple with the dark sparkle, the foiled wrap was heavier than the clear and printed, so it didn't want to stay down at the seam on the back side. I had to use some frosted clear tape to hold the edge down so it wouldn't peel up.

I just pulled the trigger on a 60 watt Radius.
Black body, Graphite Grey metal, Stealth button, Stealth window, 3000mAh battery, 60 watt firmware upgrade.
Eager to finally try it!
No CC (Coil Control) for me!
I'll mainly be running 1.0-1.2 ohm coils at 10 watts...but I AM going to use the remaining 50 watts to -play- with some other tanks and builds I've wanted to try.

Congrats. I have the full stealth and it looks great. I think the grey metal will look even better than my black as it will give a bit of contrast.
The stealth button is cool and I realized that I never even look at the button anyways, so no need to have it lit. Also, the stealth window is also cool but you can still read the display.
