Official ProVari Radius Thread - Part 2

[kas122461]

Whoa! Quiet in the Provari threads today. Just thought I'd drop in where folks are likely to understand. Been concerned w/ Provape leaving the business since last fall. Haven't seen an Onyx Radius or Purple listed for months.

So pulled the trigger last night and ordered an Onyx and Purple from Creme de vape. That will make Radius #5 & #6 in the house. (3 for her, 3 for me). Though we have a stable full of tube Provari's (rarely used) the Radius is by far our favorite Provape mod as well as any other mod out there.

Order went in 5pm yesterday and this morning at 8am had a shipping notice. Also picked up some more of the Svoe P2.5 beauty rings ... I do like their fit a bit more than the Provape rings w/ KFL-Lites.

My order from them arrived in NY yesterday, tracking has not up dated sense then, I hope I have it by Friday. I also ordered a black and purple and 4 of those beauty rings also, I was short 2 of them anyway, just got a couple extra's. I somehow lost one of them once, so I got some spares. They are the only supplier I have found that still has them.

Yep, my last order I ordered some of the Svoe rings ... so this time I just ordered a couple more. I'm surprised they still have some at 'that' low price. They must have had a big stock of 'em.

Those are my favorite rings, too. I have a few types and spares of those.

It's nice that they taper down to 22mm.

I have a few GR modders & a few loki labs rings, and they just don't fit as good as these do. I use them for all kinds of toppers not just kayfuns.

What's the conversion rate at the moment?

It'll cost you $1.2573 to buy 1£. You can check it whenever you want on Bloomberg.com under currencies.

Good site. I've become accustomed to a shortcut for any Non-US site: Google is my standard search engine and if you just highlight the price (including currency sign), right click and select "search on google" you'll get a conversion. After the first or second time I did this it is defaulting to converting to USD.

 

[oplholik]

Dang it! I'm getting impatient waiting for a flash sale. I know if I go ahead and order my Radius, within a few days, they will announce a flash sale. Hey, $17.00 saved is $17.00 saved.

Good site. I've become accustomed to a shortcut for any Non-US site: Goggle is my standard search engine and it you just highlight the price (including currency sign), right click and select "seach on google" you'll get a conversion. After the first or second time I did this it is defaulting to converting to USD.

Never thought of doing it that way. Seems to be about as easy as it gets.

 

[oplholik]

I see Provape dropped the price of the red cabernet $10.00 to 159.00. That twisted my arm just enough to do it.

 

[oplholik]

What the.... I get my order conformation, and five minutes later I get a shipping notice and tracking number. They musta been standing around with nothing else to do.

I got my 2 60 watt Radius's today, (Red & Blue) I love how small they are. First thing is charging the battery, I will play with all the features later, it showed about half a charge out of the box. I will do the pic thing later as well. I am reading the manual at the moment.

Congrats KAS!!!

They truly are a thing of beauty, and they defy the box mod idea as well.

I love mine.

I just gave up on the charger, I don't want to wait. I am just going to charge them in my Xtar VP2, It is easier to see how much longer, I have to wait for them to be charged. I am not sure what tank I am going to use, I might dig out one of my old Kayfun lites, those I can use with out worrying about dropping and breaking the tank. I mainly use Plasma tanks with my KFL's at home but I would never leave the house with one.

KAS

Oh Yeah Thanks!

 

[Frenchfry1942]

I also am very happy with Radius form factor. Like all the Provari it just does the job really well. I have two Radius' that I rotate each for a day. I once thought I would be needing to rotate the two for charging, but 3300mAH batteries get me a full day. I have two P3 tubes but, I like the Radius form factor much more.

I don't think Provape will have custom ordering anymore. I really like the blacked-out frame. Has much more style than the brush-aluminum.

Anyway, life goes on.

Agreed.
I was in a local vape shop a few months back, and took a couple of tokes from my radius/Kabuki, and a fellow consumer looked at it wonderingly and asked what it was. Explained it to her, let her handle it [she loved it], and asked about her mod/atty. So, she pulls a box mod (honestly I don't recall which one) out of her handbag. It's a single 18650 like the Radius. So, never having held another one before, I ask if I can. She agreed, but explained that it was a bit messy, due to the atty.
Yes it was. One vote for the Kabuki.
The mod was heavy, clumsy, and uncomfortable to handle.
One vote for the Radius.
That's two.

My Radius came today two days to Iowa, works great however I installed the software program and windows 10 won't load the drivers anybody else have that problem, It will charge fine

 

[raitizz]

What was that issue with the battery level indicator on a Radius?
Got Ver 03, and the indicator has a life of his own, I think. Half full after a few puffs on a full battery, charged through mod? Almost full again 30mins later? That can't be right.

Thanks.

Great device but I have the same battery meter issue with all of mine.
Gonna try a FW update some day but I haven't read that an update fixes the meter issue.

 

[HandsomeStan]

I've often read about these battery gauge issues, I have to say I completely forgot about the Radius having a different styled meter, mine seems to drain very smoothly and accurately, appears no different to my other mods.

I always use the same tank so maybe that is a factor? Maybe changing tanks with different ohms freaks it out a bit?
