I can't wait till you all get them and have used it for a while. There are many points in favor of the device, for me. One being the fact that the battery does not have to come out to charge but (and it is a fairly large one) you lose the ability to vape while charging. Unless you use it as a pass through. I don't want to be tethered. I never bought into the pass through phase of devices. At the same time, I've loved the fact that all I had to do was swap out a battery.

I'm so conflicted and just a bundle of contradictions.

If I could use it like I do my iPad: put it on the charger when I go to bed. I know there is a risk but one that isn't notorious as long as it sits on my granite counter, away from anything flammable. Would the Radius be safe enough to charge overnight?

I feel that the weak point in the P3, and earlier versions, is the spring and the body being used as part of the whole operating system. Springs need stretching, threads need cleaning. Yeah, I know....regular maintenance

Ugh, never mind me. Need more sleep....or coffee.

I'm a mess

For me, I have so many mods that charge via USB, they just have to wait their turn. The Radius will just be added to the queue.

Since the charger is not from ProVape, I will continue to watch all my mods as they charge, and not leave them unattended overnight.

If I remember correctly, you can use the device while charging, but it will be powered from the battery, not the cable.

Also Robin, the spring is not part of the current pathway.
I know. The spring needs to push the battery up to the contact. Not so much a problem in the 2.5. Definitely an issue in the P3. I'm assuming :shock: it's because of the floating pin...

It's more of a case of: everything needs to work together. Which is true for anything ;)

I did read and understand that (might have just passed through my brain :lol: ) The passthrough was more of an analogy. :)

Thank you! Good luck to you!

Maybe it is already Friday in the 4th dimension ... :lol:

SSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Well, excellent. Miss Prescience. Perhaps not yet, but lets not kid ourselves on the inevitability.
I thinks you and Ms. KatD have a cave that you carry these prizes off to. A Secret Sorceress Sorority Safe house of Special Stars for Sylphs.

Oh, and Ms. KatD, Lady AngiB?
latest

We do have have caves and I promise, as soon as I get the ok from the higher ups at ProVape, I will post a pic of it :rolleyes:
