CC does work well but how it works only provape knows for sure. I personally think they had to rush it to beat the FDA deadline and didn't test it with much more than what's on the chart. I've done some testing and their chart is a good base to start from for premade coils.
I had a feeling that was the case, beating the FDA dadline, but unfortunately for me, that still leaves me out in the cold since I have no way of tweeking the pre-set values. The only setting that sort of works with a 0.59 ohm SS coil is the "I" setting but that one is like sucking on a volcano even at a setting of 1. I'm going back to my 0.8 ohm kanthal coil and hope the next upgrade will be better.

Would that be a kanger SS coil or SS wire? H seems to work better for SS wire but it depends on the wire.

I actually made the clapton coil using 30g/36g 316L SS wire. It is possible the H setting would work best for SS 430 but all is guessing unless we get more information from Provape.

Help please ... I thought in the last few weeks I saw a post with links to Amazon to get replacement o-rings for the Radius 510. I've tried the ECF search, and even scrolled through the last 30 pages of this thread but can't find it.

If you know the size, or have the post bookmarked can you please share it with me. As I recall, the post had 2 links for 2 different types of material for the rings. Thanks.

So, I got an answer from Provape. Underwhelming is the one descriptor that comes to mind. I would love to copy and paste both my question and their answer but I'm not sure if it is allowed. Let's just say they just stick to the chart published and if you want to play outside the "sand box" ....What I was asking was for a little clarification to the A thru I deal, what is behind the letters. The mod is great and I believe it could do so much more, if only.....

Incoming ... thank you. Yes, I only need 1 ... a couple-few would be nice. One of the 2 new Radius I got from CdV has a split o-ring. I figured I'd try to change it myself instead of sending it back to Provape.

The USA ... however, they are now with me here in Toronto.
Cool. I will grab a bunch next time I am in the US as my P3 connector mods are all humming along. :)

I am going thru my spring stash and I think I have too many. Might PIF a few in the near future if anyone needs a couple. :)

Welp, now I've decided I want the Red Cabernet/Bronze. Only problem is, only 15 left, and it's a few more weeks until my points are good to use. Will I make it? :unsure:
I thought they were no longer honouring points. Did that just apply to items in the "specials" section?
