Official ProVari Radius Thread

I havent though I think the Radius is beautiful I am still very content (and content is not something I am very often) with my Ti Mini. I am almost scared to purchase one because I'm not sure how much I would use it and I will never be without my Ti right next to me. My quest right now is a tank (tried most - have 2 I love) but the Kabuki will definitely be my next tank. I have an Aspire Nautilus on the way to me to test out the coils. Havent used one in years so - before I punk down money I dont have, I needed to try the Nautilus again.

The flavor from a nautilus is not comparable to the kabuki, even though the coils are the same

I'm trying to make myself feel better till I can get the Kabuki!

So I wanted to give a quick write up from a full work week Vaping with my Radius.

I originally started out with the Subtank which handled nicely for the sub ohm Vaping. The rest of the week until yesterday I was Vaping with the Nautilus to get used to going back to higher ohms and lower wattage. Wasn't unsatisfying, but it reminded me why I started moving towards the sub ohm tanks.

Then last night the package completed itself. My P3 Kabuki arrived. I opened the box, unscrewed that Kabuki Jar (nice touch Zen [emoji6]). I cracked the holder off, lubed the O ring, tightened up and primed the coil, let it sit, and then it happened. I screwed the Kabuki onto my Radius and an instant smile cracked. I started Vaping and started slightly disappointed, and then the more I Vaped, the more I tasted it. Tones of flavor I hadn't tasted before in any other tank. I've been Vaping Charlie Noble Sollers Pointe. They had mentioned banana that I never tasted that the Kabuki brought to life. Every flavor could be distinguished. This was not just marketing, this tank really does enhance the flavor that I had not experienced on any tank I have used. With the Radius it is steady and convenient performance, and the Kabuki is providing the delivery of taste like didn't expect, but hoped for.
It is all so well balanced out. The Radius has been solid. I had no doubt buying a Provape product I would get quality, and I was not disappointed even a little. With the Kabuki I walked in with lower expectations and have been pleasantly surprised. Together they work so well I really don't see the need for another setup. The payoff is I am enjoying the flavor boost of Sub ohm tanks, I went up a bit in nicotine but anticipate going through juice a lot slower and saving money again.
The only negative has been a little on the battery. On the Nautilus I was still at 2/3 battery after a full day. For some reason it dropped a little below half by mid day. I will account for going from 9 to 11 watts as a contributor to that. I will be buying an extra battery tomorrow and will give it a full day without charging before I draw a final conclusion. The meter has been a little sporadic. Big thumbs up overall. I have also accumulated point through Provape that when they mature I am thinking I may end up purchasing a second Kabuki. [emoji16]

Edit: I wanted to throw a mention regarding the 316L stainless steel. I am a watch nut as well, and this was a great quality choice for material on the Kabuki. First of all it is a much higher quality steel than what we get on other tanks, this is the same steel used on great quality high end watches, it is more durable and looks great!

To conclude, here is my bad phone photo of the combo.

I seem to remember reading that the 25r has a bit of a break-in before its battery life improves.

Mine fell off quickly past half charge, but I'm thinking it well get better with use.

Anyone else using kabukis notice that the coils handle higher wattages then in the nauti?

@MsLoud you know i still have a couple of the naughties going on the 2.5s and they're not the super flavour wee ones either, and while the kabuki is def. a huge jump... They really are pretty decent tanks. Good flavour, no leaks, lots of juice. Not stellar but good, and at least none of my nautilus coils have done that random snap crackle and pop the subtank stock coils loved doing. (At least the unlucky coils i got)

I mean i liked the subtank, and i guess i could have tried doing the rba but first thing in the morning the last thing i want is host spits of juice and this loud crack on the first vape. It's unnerving so it is! After a wee while of that i went back to the nautilus for being out and the drippers at home.

Aye i have noticed that for sure. From what i am seeing around it seems like it handkes higher vg juice way better too.

I personally have had no luck with Nautilus coils. Now it's been awhile since I've bought any, but I pretty much gave up on using them.
The best flavor I've gotten was from dripping, then when the Sub-Ohm tanks came out, it was like dripping and a tank came together for me.
I seen some people say that some of the Sub-Ohm tanks take away from the flavor just add more flavor to the juice

They are saying we revisit, with the kabuki! Do it chief, I trust your judgement.

Just found a site with colors! Maybe I can get close to matching the Radius here as well.

That's the same place I posted for Zen. It appears they match Pantone colors and could come up with a passable cabernet.

Order yourself a replacement glass from Spectrum Tanks. The O-rings that come with Steve's glass are always fatter. When I tried to put the stock glass on with the Spectrum O-rings, it was VERY tight. That should work to save your new plexi tank, and you'll have a spare glass...he does colors too.

Still pretty numb. You folks provide a fine distraction from reality. Thank you.

Distractions are good. When my mom passed away is when I started wrapping coils.

I'm sure there are millions of vapers that have not bought one yet...

But all the cool kids have one...

Listen closely now as I verbally expatiate three "neeners" in your general direction.

I still haven't decided and I'm waaay cool.

I have Cabernet O-Rings being made right now, and Midnight Blue... I already have the black and the white.

One word of caution on cheap o-rings by the way... tolerances are ALL over the map.

Your position atop the block is in question. What are you waiting for?

I'm on the fence about a box mod. I already have a bunch of them, but still use my tube mods the most. I've been vaping the same set-up for over a year and I'm very happy. I'm not sure anything else would be an improvement.

It's all about the vaping experience, I agree... and if something is working, then it's working. I don't love chasing the newest shiny just because it's new. I do have a MASSIVE collection of mods that I feel have historical importance in the evolution of vaping, but none were purchased just because it was the "new thing" they were purchased because they were innovative enough to be the "next" thing...

I'd be happy with a P3... but the height with a 650 is just too long for me. The Radius has the battery life of a 650, and it's as tall as a Mini in 350 mode... THAT's why I love it.

Not because it's new, or vapes better... at the next of the day, it's the "next" Provari, and I like to see myself as their biggest fan! (My empty wallet says I am, that's for sure)

Maybe, but you haven't vaped my set-up.
