I have an STM, but I'm not crazy about it.
I have a KF4 but without the P3 connection, and it is essentially impossible to get the P3 connection part in the US (I don't order from China). Besides that the KF4 is way over engineered with lots of complexity. If something can go wrong it will, and has with the KF4. To much fiddling for me. The Subtank mini has much better engineering. It is simple and it works.

So if I want to use the P3 connection I'm stuck with the nautilus. That's not going to happen as I can't do rebuilds with it.

They oughta rename this thread to 'Everything under the sun besides Radius thread'

It been hijacked so bad by carto's, kf,kfl,kflv2,kflv4, kabuki, P3, erl's, sophia, 510, atlantis, nautilus, hampsters, dogs, cats a few chickens and I believe one horse, or was it a cow, Aint nobody interested in a Radius information thread gonna read all the shchtuf.

Never mind, now back to your regularly scheduled program.
That's what 3-4 weeks delayed shipping gets you.
Wait and see what happens by the time they do ship.

Have u tried the vertical coils, the horizontal ones did suck.

I only used the RBA section. I don't really see myself going back to pre-maids. I vape only one flavor (Halo's Tribeca), and I'm highly attuned to how it tastes...I like to refresh my set-up every 1-2 days (3-4 with Ti). That would just be too expensive for me if I used pre-maids, I think.

I think it's a decent tank, it just wasn't for me. The Lemo Drop is still my favorite, followed by my Crown. I just got an Aromamizer two days ago, but the jury is still out.

The thread was to count down to the reveal. It has been revealed and pre-sales have begun. Thread over...

With close to 300 pages, almost all about the Radius, we discussed it a lot. Until pre-orders. What you see now, is just a group of people who are anxiously waiting till they get their Radius and until then, other subjects are on the table. Some interesting topics as far as I'm concerned.
Apparently Top Water hasn't been to the P3 thread lately. :D

i haz a sad. I was looking for spare O-rings and the vendor I bought my Rüzgar from is out of business. I went to the Highwind Innovative Designs fb page and 2 other of their US resellers are out of business. They didn't have many to begin with. A google only shows very few vendors have them and most are on clearance - even in other countries. Highwind hasn't posted on their fb page since March and it appears they may have gone out of business or at least are no longer distributing. They are/were a very small company anyway.

I'm not worried about spare O-rings (I was just too lazy to measure them) and, although fragile, the glass should be okay because of the sleeve (it once fell from the top of my car, landed on the drip tip on the garage floor - hard enough to pop the ProVari cap partially off - and the glass was fine), but the deck insulator and screw have me ticked. Last year sometime I asked them if if a Kayfun insulator would fit, since they look similar, and they said no. They told me to contact the vendor, but I never got around to it. While googling I found a vendor in Canada who has Rüzgar O-rings and replacement screws, but the insulators were listed as discontinued. I imagine the screws aren't proprietary and I'll bet the insulators were sourced from China, but it will be a pain to look for them. I see MacGyvering in my future. Still, I'm sad if they are really gone. They came out with nice looking dripper earlier this year and I hope it wasn't what killed them.

Thanks for the explanation, I used to hang out in the old provape subforum years ago, when there were about 7-10 regulars & watched it grow to several dozens before it was closed.
I understand the chit chat aspect.
I was coming from the point of view of someone unfamiliar with Provape in general interested in the Radius that wanted more information or opinions or a different point of view than what is available on their website.

Not playing dad here, I come off as brusque frequently, the few that know me around here know I'm really a warm fuzzy lovable guy...
Newcomers have to start on Page 1.
It's like a Provari Hazing.

Seeing as the Radius has the P3 threading...
I think maybe it's more appropriate to call it the "Provape threading"...?

KANGER is garbage, P3 Nautilus was obsolete a long time ago (not that it matters, as the Kabuki is FAR superior), Squape may catch up...ByLeo has one being machined now...I've got my fingers crossed for a Provape threaded KFL with better airflow.

Just imagine having that Provape hybrid connection on a device like the Kayfun Lite series...especially with all the tiny tanks available for it...we could be talking serious stealth mode here!

I can vouch for Elvis, he's a long time curmudgeon. ;)
