Good luck to everyone!

I'll have to come back and check on you later.

As of now, I'm preparing to hop a flight to Nashville, to rendezvous with my Mom, so she can have some help with the tragedy that has befallen her and my dad.

Two weeks ago, through no fault of their own, their motor home was totaled. 5 days later, my dad falls off an 8 foot ladder, bruising just about everything. Two days after this, Mom is involved in a golf cart accident at the dog show she is in charge of (big one in Nashville) shattering her hand, internally decapitating fingers...reattachment surgery on Monday.

BUT WAIT! There's more!
Call now, and we'll throw in Acute Myeloid Leukemia!
That's right folks, as of Monday, my bruised but otherwise healthy dad was rushed to the hospital after collapsing in the bathroom. Doctors immediately considered his fall as the cause of something bad, but a CAT scan revealed only the usual amount of cobwebs.
Then, a double order of blood work reveals that his white blood cell count (10-12 in "healthy" adults) has sky-rocketed to 150,000! [emoji322][emoji95][emoji323][emoji95][emoji322]
Doctors agree, it's AML. Patient is admitted post haste, and is almost immediately diagnosed with SEPTIC SHOOOOOCK!
That's right folks! An already bad long term diagnosis of AML, and life threw in septic shock!
Septic shock has a 40% survival rate in HEALTHY adults.
-----------------
One of the doctors was kind enough to call me last night and give me the info with zero sugarcoating.
So, I'm in for an adventurous weekend to say the least.
Good news is, mom has some friends who have survived AML, granted they're on mess for the rest of their lives, but it's been almost a decade for one of them...which means getting over this hump is what dad needs to do.
--------------

Again...GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE WINNERS TODAY!!!
I'm not being sarcastic. Even through all of this, I'm still fixated on the Radius (subconscious distraction I'm sure), and I can't wait to hear more about everyone's experience with it!
I'm hoping to order later this year, but we'll see how dad handles his situation.

LOVE YOU ALL!!!

I know you and I may have had our differences...but all things aside, I'm hoping for the best for you and your family. My wife was in septic shock back in January. The recovery is always a 2steps forward, 1 step back thing. It's a roller coaster ride for sure. Just make sure he keeps eating, and keep his spirits up and he'll pull through just fine!
Be safe in your travels. Positive vibes sent your way.

Order Placed: 10/13/2015 at 10:01AM PST
Order Status: Processing

Looks like ProVapes business is a booming! It appears a mere 35657 orders separate us....... Hahaha
We're only separated by 22 orders over 3 minutes. Which isn't bad I guess.

I don't know what Astro's order is...

So, if anybody is STILL on the fence... I'm going to share what the last week was like with the Radius... I'll skip the unboxing and head to the good stuff, though I will tell you that the first impression in the box is a good one, I may have said "OH WOW" when I opened it... It went from the box being opened to being in my grubby little hands in less than a second.

The first thing you'll see when you are fondling your new Radius is a little clear plastic tab by the bottom with the words "remove before use" or something equally meaningful.... You'll grab it hard, give it a tug, and like magic... About a second later....the Buttons light up... and begin changing to every color in the rainbow and possibly a few that are not, meanwhile... the ProVape Logo appears on the screen, flips over and goes away... It's pretty cool, actually.

I can assume that while the light show is happening, the Radius is taking care of important housekeeping tasks such as initializing microprocessors, looking for the presence of an atomizer of some description, having a peek at the battery condition and loading the last known settings into the processor so you can have have yourself a vape.

Plastic is a funny thing... it can look cheap and gaudy, or it can look rich and well refined... It can also be fragile. There are also advanced plastics that are tough enough to stop bullets, and Polycarbonate fits into this category. My first impression of the plastic is that this looks more like it was designed and manufactured by a high-end razor manufacturer like Merkur than looking like it was made by Fisher-Price. There's nothing cheap about it's appearance. The Polycarbonate being framed by really nicely finished glass-bead blasted Stainless steel gives the Radius a look that is considerably more refined than any of the other vaping devices on the market (Except the ZNA, of course)

The Kabuki fits like a glove, I dialed in to 11 watts, and gave it a vape... fantastic. The power up and down buttons click... the Fire switch is soft, but still tactile... it has a different type of haptic, and even in the dark your finger finds the firing button... every time. I'm familiar with the P3 menu, so I basically already knew how to use it. I guess I explored the menu on the first day, but I don't recall... But I was vaping it intuitively without thinking a whole lot about it... it just happened.

What's your routine when leaving the house with vape gear? Deciding which couple of devices to take, what attys, juice... batteries... cotton... wire... tools? Pain in the .... if you ask me... Plug and play, push and vape... it's what I want... but even my trusty ProVari 2.5 REQUIRED me to carry extra batteries when using it in a manageable size like the 350 battery configuration, and even then, I carried a device that took 18650 batteries as well... just in case I was going to be out for a while.

In the past week, I've discovered mindless vaping. I leave the house with ONE PV... ONE atty and ONE bottle of juice. How is this even possible? Well... the Radius with my Kabuki on it, vaping at a whopping 11 watts only manages to deplete the battery by about 50%, and I am awake a LOT of hours each day. Thursday AM I got up early, worked at the shop until 1:45PM... Drove to Philadelphia... THEN to Richmond... THEN stayed up late talking to friends... All with the same charge that I started with in the morning, and it COULD have lasted another day as well. I charged it that night, and the next morning was Vapercon.

People that spotted the Radius all really loved it... universally the look was accepted. And pretty much universally people questioned the power of the device, like it was all that mattered. And one by one... when people tried it... they loved it. Several people that said "not enough power" at first changed the tune to "Plenty of power for me" by the time they really played with it. It's good with people and makes friends out of enemies pretty easily. I could learn a thing or two from it, actually.

Each day, the Radius becomes more and more a part of my routine. I vape it relentlessly, charge it nightly, and really don't worry about what it's going to do when I push the button. And I have pushed that button a lot... a WHOLE lot. I am not exaggerating when I say I own over a thousand PVs... people have seen the collection... it's real... but when I say that since this has been in my possession it is the ONLY device I have used, I think that's saying a lot about the device. I love collecting PVs, but the flaws in most of them are pretty obvious. I'm hard pressed to come up with a reason to dislike the RADIUS, and so far, I can't.

for the moment, I think I've found the ultimate combination... pardon the plug, but the Radius/Kabuki combo is the best solution I've experienced for reliable, trouble free vaping. One PV... One Atty... One bottle of juice... Stick a spare glass and a coil in the glovebox. Nothing else needed. "Plug and play" meets "set it and forget it". It's as easy as smoking, but tastes better, smells less and isn't going to send me to an early grave... what's not to like?

So that's the impression after a week. I have no clue what the next week will bring, but I do believe it will be more of the same.

If'n you aren't on the Provape payroll, you SHOULD BE. This post alone should be a sticky at the top of this thread and should generate thousands of Radius sales. Yes it should!

Every time an order is placed an angel gets her wings.

From Zen's review I'm betting about 10,000+ angels be gettin' their wings. Yes I do!

Good luck to everyone!

HBManOfTheCorpseDude. What can I say except that your folks are now completely in my thoughts and prayers. You're a good son for going to be with them. Yes you are.

On another not great note, my brother, who has Leukemia, had a medical procedure performed on Wednesday. Something happened after he came home and he had to be rushed by ambulance to the hospital. I'm waiting for my sister in law to let me know if I need to get on a plane to Maryland to be with him.

I'm not praying to win nuttin today. I'm praying for my brother and HB's parents. Yes I am.

Good Morning My Fellow Hamsters!

Vaping ProVape Watermelon @ 8.5W in a HoH Kabuki on a ProVari 2.5 Satin Silver!

The Big day is here but there are still questions!

*Did redrebel get any sleep or did she stay up all night performing arcane rituals to improve her chances?

*How many people tried to change their orders to Midnight Blue after seeing 5Rivers' piccies?

*Smooth or Crunchy?

And last, but not least...

*Where's my dang Radius?

We're only separated by 22 orders over 3 minutes. Which isn't bad I guess.

I don't know what Astro's order is...

Well, I ordered mine on the 14th, and the order number is 176774, so I'm guessing they sold 200-250 the first day, maybe less.
