Still soo nervous about how I'm gonna like it not like the blue tomorrow! Someone posted a pic of the black Radius with the Kabuki on it and it looked SUPERB and I loved the black when I had it and was happy with my choice! I hope I love the blue!

I should just shut up about it huh.... Lol. And/or just conclude that I'm gonna buy a black too in a couple months! Or throw on a jwrap.

My Cabernet arrived!! And I'm..... not sure.

First the pros:
The shape of this device is absolutely perfect. The rounded sides lets this baby slide into your hand like it was born there. I've never held a more comfortable mod.

It has "heft." It looks and feels more solid than my aluminum VaporShark, and the polycarbonate is very well done. It is neither warm nor cold to the touch and has a very solid look to it. It is by no means "plastic" in the way we normally associate quality with plastic. It looks like every damn penny of $200. The brushed steel end plates are beautifully finished with clear and deeply etched lettering.

The Radius will carry on the Provari name with grace and style.

Now for the bad:
The color.
I'm not sure I like the red. To my eyes it seems to have a purple tinge to it. No, it is not purple, but on my monitor I thought it leaned more to the brownish end of red, almost like an old time football skin.

For now the Radius sits in its box untouched as I stare at, trying to decide if its a keeper. I'm not sure it is. I will own this mod, but maybe another color would be better for me. With any luck someone will post some real world pics of the Midnight Blue, but I'm thinking maybe Black would better suit my tastes.

If I don't pull the plastic and power this sucker up, I'm hoping I can exchange it without a problem. Because even if this does go back, the device itself is spectacular and I will want another.

:unsure:
They have, I believe a 7 day return policy.

Doesn't matter. In any case, I'm watching PB at the moment who is quickly going from someone I respected to a tech-geek with shiny-itis. Maybe he's been on this road for awhile, he hasn't reviewed anything I was interested in for a long time. I was aware they knew each other, but when did Brandon become his BFF?
His objectivity and non biased review days have been over ever since his trip to china.

Don't you have distance seller regulations in the states? In the UK as long as you haven't used it your free to return any online purchases for a refund or swap within 7-14 days (something like that)
It's $200 if you get it and love it awesome, if you prefer black do a switch, not like your being fussy the first exchange was due to a dud.

I'm in the same boat, I know I will love the black but want to be a bit daring with white, might just buy both and send back the "loser" lol

Not an option for me. so I am effectively never getting one. they said they could remove the requirement but I am not reordering and getting shut out for 4 weeks or longer.
Too bad you couldn't be there.

What will you get instead?

Thanks, Jim

I'm confused, can't you just arrange a redelivery with usps?

Most of the delivery companies in the uk email & text you an hour slot they will deliver in, you can then reply to arrange a different time if you want.
If you do still somehow miss it you can just arrange to pick it up or a redelivery.

What colour did you get Jim?

One other thing... I never expected people with KayFuns or rebuildables to let go of them... that wasn't my actual goal... I was hoping that people that had an aversion to rebuilding would use the Kabuki, and they in turn would introduce the tank to others with the same aversion. This would lead to newer vapers being able to have a higher quality vaping experience which would keep many of them from even heading down the rebuildable rabbit-hole.

And on a small scale, that is happening.
Hmmm... Perhaps you took my post as a dig but in fact it was meant as praise of the Kabuki and how it's simplified my vaping life. I am so happy with the consistent good flavor, form, and function that it's really become the only device that I use now....

@Vape360 - A respectful suggestion for the next firmware upgrade:

The Radius is primarily designed to charge the internal cell without the need to remove and swap the cell. I believe I've heard words to this affect direct from the Mothership in this thread.

When I walk by a charging Radius I have no indication of a charge and its' status like most box mods have. I suggest a Red fire button for charging and a Green fire button for completed.

PLEASE
:)

Thank you for your consideration.
