Official ProVari Radius Thread

Currently when it's charging you have the battery icon indicate it's charging. I would think having the LED on all the time would be an annoyance for some since they charge at night?

If you tie it to the LED on/off, then you would have to turn this off every time, if you don't want it.

Adding another menu option for charging led is a option, but it makes the menu more cluttered unless you feel that would be OK.

I can certainly pass along your suggestions.

I might get booed for this, but I'm one of those people who charges my electronics while I sleep. My phone doesn't show me it's charging status either, unless, like the Radius I choose to see it. For me, I don't feel I need a constant or blinking light while my Radius charges.

If you do take this idea to engineering and you do come out with the option, I would ask that you make it an option a user can select to use, or not use.

Good point ... re-thinking.

I think you have him confused with another, less reputable reviewer. He's made numerous references to being banned from vaping at his desk or in his office, and having to take a redeye flight back from a vape meet and head straight to work from the airport. He has a day job, vape reviews are just a hobby. I'm sure his channel is monetized--isn't everybody's at this point? But vape reviews aren't his livelihood.

Thanks for clarifying........

I don't plan on using onboard charging, as I have several 18650s and chargers...

I would like this. Couldn't there be a option for charging or CHRG under settings where you could have it -
Solid fire button red or green
Slow blink fire button red or green
Solid green fire button when charged
Have display be on when charge is done
Have display be on continuously when charging
Nothing

Doing my first charge now and it would be nice to not have to tap fire to chck the display for progress.

More clutter to the menu maybe... BUT THE FUN.. INFORMATIVE FUN

Seriously some indication its charging or at least done would be great.

Beautiful device.

OK. But opening it up every day, to remove the battery and insert a new one isn't quite as convenient (to me) as it might seem. I personally really like the onboard charging and the need to open it up and swap batteries when the day comes a new battery is needed.

Could just be a option... Loudly charge / loudly announce charge / hush

WE CAN ALL WIN

I have 5 ProVari in use on any given day, as I like switching flavors without switching tanks. At the end of the day I put the batteries on chargers to charge overnight and put in another set of batteries. Unless it is difficult to remove the battery in a Radius, I don't think switching out the battery at night will be a problem...

My Radius showed up a day early! And so far I love it. Fits my hand well, so am hoping less drops, and the bigger fire button is easy to both find and use - so those with hand issues, rejoice! The fire button is even a touch softer than on my P3, or else the bigger size helps out, not sure which. The blue is everything I hoped for, depending on light it looks almost black, so dark blue it really is.

Certainly your choice.

I'm glad you got one Peter and that you really like it!

Thanks! This is great to hear.

Anyone ??

 

[madangus]

It is a very nice fire button feels softer to me too @Peter_C

Not super fond of the + - buttons, but they are fine and not used anywhere near as much. Very early on too.

That fire button is the peak of provi fire button perfection though i am sure my opinion on this will not change

If it's 'menu space' I readily give up the puff counter / $$'s saved stuff. I never use that anyway.

I was able to somehow accidentally change wattage setting, so I just use the lock feature for the - + buttons, which is so easy to use.
