Official ProVari Radius Thread

[MikeE3]

OK Guys and Gals, here is the link to the JWraps Radius Cup Holder. A Bargain at $16 and just made available to us today.

I'm ordering one immediately!

http://www.jwraps.com/product_p/provari-radius-cupholder.htm

Also, here's how accessible the guys are at JWraps. The Designer of the cup holder said to add the following:

"If anyone would like a juice slot, or other mod in their cup, just have them email me so I can make it for them.

My email is jon@jwraps.com

That's customer service. Yes it is!

I'm glad you ordered one. They asked me what I thought would be the best option for the cup, a Radius and 30ml juice holder or a Radius and Mod holder and I suggested that many who order this likely also would want to carry their P3/P2.5, so that's the first one they came out with. What's nice is they will be happy to customize them for someone's need if this isn't what they're looking for.

A Radius and a P3/2.5 is a good start. Thanks for getting this rolling and keeping us informed.

BTW - now 24 hrs on the 1st full charge. I vape constantly ... went from about 3pm yesterday to midnight. Then from about 7am this morning 'till now 3pm (EDT). The batt gauge is showing 1/2 drained. Not bad, me like. A 1.3Ω coil vaping at 12 or 14 watts depending on my mood.

Way to go Sir Rod! Just ordered two...thanks for the work and link.

I'm glad you ordered them Karl!

Congratulations to all who received their Radii! Hoping mine will arrive tomorrow ... It isn't coming from the Mothership, but rather from Iowa (which, I think, is close ). So, the Kabuki I ordered to go with is the P3 version. Was that right?

Yeppers! P3 Threaded Kabuki is the way to go!

For those that won the radius in the contest, have you received any info as to when you're going to receive yours?

I won one and it arrived yesterday! I've been vaping on it since I got home from work last night. Quite happily, I might add!

Here's a pic of mine taken last night:

And since that picture makes it look redder than it is (it's actually a nice Burgundy color), here's another pic:

Yes, the battery is amazing. I vape at 10 watts and I started with a full charge at 7:00 AM this morning. The battery meter has barely moved from full. I'm confident, I don't need to bring so much extra vaping gear with me to work. Woo Hoo!

No word on mine yet but I chose blue and I hear they are just starting shipping on the blue. I think RB got his already.

I kinda figured it would be about the same time frame as the rest considering they added more to the prize pool and knowing provapes testing they mutilated all the pre market models but the ones the staff have been using. Just makes the anticipation build a WHOLE lot more [emoji16]

Sir Rod. The top photo looks like the Radius is more pink or bubble gum color. The bottom looks more burgundy. Which is the better translation?

 

[Peter_C]

I'm not really a lanyard guy, but it would be really easy to make something that attaches to one of the Battery cover screws to hang it from, it would be upside down, but would be really simple to make.

Yeah, it was simple... took about 30 seconds and the Lanyard from Vape Summit in Vegas.

I guess I was hoping for a lanyard hold it upright. My Kabuki drips just a drop from the top (when upside down) during filling, so assume it would do it while in use going upside down to right side up, etc...

The bottom one is much more realistic. Here's a pic I took without any artificial light influencing the color and I'd say this is very realistic:

Good! I liked the cabernet red but that bubble gum wasn't doing it for me. I kinda figured that one was wrong. Thanks.

I wouldn't have been very happy with bubble gum, but the color is much more burgundy. It really is. Yes it is!

Here's another more contrasting shot of the Radius standing next to my table top radio, which is definitely red. I think this may give a good comparison of red to burgundy:

And very sharp if I do say. That would be the color I would get...or the midnight blue. Both are gorgeous.

That could just be some condensation that had built up in the drip tip and/or chimney.

Finally! The family grows...so happy

Excellent - there is even room for Astro!

 

[serenity21899]

Oh great. That means Red is the last run. Damn!

But good for you!

Sorry. Really I am.

So -- the ONLY negatives that I can come up with are the following:

- I'm right handed, so when I go to lay my mod down on a hard surface after taking a vape/etc, it's natural to want to lay it down on the side that has the little "rounded bulge" where the screen is. Which would seemingly make that part of it (and the screen) more likely to get scratches? (There's not a scratch on the Radius yet though - btw). This also makes it a tad wobbly and slippery when layed on that side as well. (VERY SMALL complaint - yes!)

- @Vape360 - It's happened to me a few times now where I take a few pulls in a row and all the sudden notice my draw went cold, and I look down and see the screen scrolling through the (regular) menu -- not an error screen or anything. I'm sure I haven't changed the way I vape from the P3 or the 2.5 I have, and this has never happened to me in the past. And after experimenting with button taps, you can tap 4 times or whatever surprisingly slowly to get into the menu system. If anyone else has a Radius wants to try, I'd be curious to hear their thoughts as well. It might just be something that might only happen to me, but maybe others as well? I'm not sure how i'm doing it when vaping, but apparently I am... haha. Either way -- the BEAUTY is that the Radius is now able to be updated at home on a PC!!!!! Again, honestly I have no explanation for how or why it's happening... Maybe it is an error message and I don't notice the message until it got back to the normal menu system? And its only happened a few times.

Also @Vape360 - is it safe to use a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 (24 watt) charger to charge the p3? I don't want to fry anything!!!

On another note -- I've been vaping since yesterday afternoon on this charge, and its still showing probably around 60% or so battery left. Good stuff!

***For the record -- I have 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 extremely positive things to say about the Radius. Those two items above are my ONLY even slight complaints!

Stanley, what you're describing about all of the sudden your Radius is scrolling through the menu, has happened to me on my P3. And I figgere'd out why. If I don't push the button in fully, from the center of the button (what I mean is if I push it a bit lightly and off center), I have on occasion gotten into the menu system. I no longer have this happen as I've just mentally changed my position and I engage the fire button firmly and from the center. I hope that makes sense, but I'm thinking this is what you may have experienced.

Thanks for that shot, really shows the color. But, jeez, I just don't know. I ordered the Cabernet Red because one of Provape's official pics really made it look like a brown-red which I liked, but it is really looking like a more vibrant red than I thought. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

I know I can't change my order at this point, even though it hasn't shipped, but at least I can take some comfort in knowing that if I don't like it Provape has a pretty decent return policy from my understanding.

The Midnight Blue is whispering to me at night...
