It's 2015 get over the venting thing. This is mostly made of plastic so when I run over my Radius or istick with my car they both will break. But I will only be out $19 bucks instead of $200. I will stick with my Vaporshark s-body all metal and lighter.
That's just ludicrous... Why would you run over a perfectly good mod (any mod) with a car? Actually, why would you run anything over with a car? In my 30+ years of driving I can say that I have NEVER run anything over... Well, there was that one Hamster, but he should never have been let out of his Radius...

I have 20 plus Chinese egos, vmax's vamo's. Not 1 has broken. The radius is already a paperweight. I see nobody vaping at low wattages (40w and below) in my vapor shops in my area that aren't using temp control. Provape should of just stuck a DNA200 and called it a day.

I hate car analogies, but buying a mod based solely on watts is a bit like buying an automobile based solely on it's straight line speed. Fine if you want is a dragster, but for daily use you take into consideration build quality and reliability, cornering ability amongst other things.
Regarding not seeing people vaping at low wattages, maybe that's because they aren't that visible. Exhaling clouds of space invading vapour is hardly a discreet activity so much more likely to draw attention.

Some people are simply crazy. I saw a Mercedes Benz with a paltry 201 horsepower engine for $47,000. I can get a Kia with more horsepower for much less money.

Oh wait, I bought the Mercedes too!

I gotta say though? A Mercedes is beyond my means, but my '06 Tucson that I bought new has 140,000 miles on it, has never been towed, never had an unplanned service APPT, and is my daily driver. That said, I would love a higher-end car, but for less than $30K, it's been wonderful to me.

Yes but will it keep driving after you run over your Radius?

ETA..50w, auto fired. Apparently this has been an ongoing, known issue for iSticks yet they have done nothing to change the problem. Some manufacturers just don't care enough about safety.

lol ... I visualize zapped going out to his garage as he types this post ... Ford Pinto, Amc Pacer, 1977, ... no, 1976 Honda Accord, Suzuki Samurai, Pontiac Aztek, Gm Ev1, and Geo Metros :blink:

cheers

I think I would change the list a bit; Remove the Geo Metros (amazing long life and great fuel economy), but add the Chevy Vega (all years). I had a Samurai but smartly traded it after six months (was fun in the sand)...

If she can stand not seeing her juice, they do make a nice stainless steel tank to replace the glass. I can't stand going there myself, and yes, I have broken two (so far[bad hands]), so I do understand. But the replacement glass is cheap as well?

She forgets to fill her tank up whilst being able to see the juice and wrecks coils lol, god forbid she had a stainless tank :)

The replacement glass for the kabuki in the UK is £8.95 ($14.82) plus postage on top, the rate she would go through them I would be bankrupt by this time next year :w00t:

Actually, I bet you can run over a ProVape ProVari Radius with your car and it will still work.

Yep, go ahead, line up and attack me... Someone is bound to take it wrong.
I don't think anyone can take that statement wrong.....provape has pretty well proven their reliability ;)

Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping

I hear ya - FYI? at the HoH parts store, the glass is $10 with flat shipping (no idea out of country) - also, check out "Vape Bands" - I am gonna give them a try, might save my glass here and there.

Sadly my dreams of a radius have now been put on hold for an even longer time. My accident prone wife dropped her phone yesterday and shattered the screen. Would not be that big of deal, but she needs her phone. She also fell and messed up her ankle really good. She is refusing to see a dr thinking she just sprained it really bad. So, looks like income tax is when i am looking at getting one. Til then i will be coming back here more to envy all of you that are getting your Radius. I cant wait to see all the reviews. Have fun everyone.

What make of phone is it? unless it's a samsung with an amoled screen, most phone screens are cheap to buy and an easy fix. I hope your mrs gets better soon bud

for the phone, check with one of the service kiosks in the mall. My husband broke his screen on the way to trade it in for an upgrade. The rep at the phone service desk told him to go out the door and see the guy at the kiosk. I think it was $20 and about 5min. I'm sure there are better deals out there but the quick turn around was worth it.

I hope her ankle is ok. ouch.
