RB, I think it doesn't hold 3 mls ... I measured using a syringe, yesterday. I got a drop shy of 2.5 mls. Doesn't much matter; I'm not complaining! I was just concerned that there might be an issue cuz all y'all said your battery was lasting days and days. I can't get a full day out of an 18650 in a P3, either. Prolly I just vape too much :facepalm: :lol:

Here's a video where the reviewer was filling it, using a syringe and it took pretty close to a full 3ml of juice. You can skip ahead to about 4 minutes in.

As long as you're getting great satisfaction from the Radius/Kabuki combo, it's a great thing, regardless! Yes it is!

Well, sad day. The radius is definitely plagued by some glitch in It's battery meter....
It doesn't display current battery level, it just stays at the same level...but pulling the battery and putting it back in will update it to current charge status.

So do i start a ticket at provape, or do i just use as is (everything else seems fine) and hope an update will fix it? Dilemmas. It almost feels wrong complaining to provape since this was a gift from the provarinati...and i also don't want to be without it now

That's a shame!! Mainly because you finally have what you (and we) all thought would be perfect for you!

Luckily Provape won't leave you disappointed. All will be well.

I say DEFINITELY start a ticket - and tell 'em if you'd be OK waiting for a software fix if one's coming.
They may know of this as an issue and have a fix, or may WANT to know and FIND a fix, if it turns out that it's not just yours that does this...

Open a Ticket with Provape. Chances are, just like for Stanley, they'll send you a new one and ask you to send back the one you're using now as soon as you get the replacement. They're well aware of your story here. Trust me. And I'm pretty sure they'll want to check out your device.

I dont have a Kabuki but I have tanks with prebuilt coils - GS Air - hubbys GS Air with the same liquid I am vaping will last him maybe 3 to 4 days on an istick (dont ask) however, me - I can go a week to 10 days on the same coil and I vape at least 5 to 6ml a day on that one tank alone. I think it is the way ProVape sends the power to the atty...sounds cray-cray but I'm telling you I can taste the difference between a Provari and an istick with the same tank and forget about using the same volt settings...Provari does taste much better too!

by_the by... about 50/50 9mg light color DIY

I have to agree about the Provari making juices taste better. I was using a Sophia on both my Provari 2.5 and iStick and I can tell the difference. I can run the Provari at a lower temperature and still get better flavor out of it than on an iStick. It seems like a smoother vape too.

I also notice it between my eVic and Provari ... same settings, different vape :smokie:

Definitely smoother then other regulated devices

I only own Provari's and I can't honestly remember how anything tasted on anything else......The last non-Provari I had was a Zigeli or was it Sigelei?-Zmax-Piece-De-Crappola Telescoping mod. On that mod, things tasted OK, for the first few minutes. But then as is so common on cheapo mods, flavor fell off dramatically once the battery got even a little workout. Oh wait, I guess I remember more than I thought I did.......LOL

Well the day has finally come. 6 days vaping at 11 watts, and a handful of tanks ran through my Kayfun v4 - it is officially on the charger for the first time since the initial charge on Monday when I received it. There was a little life left registering on the meter but figure I'd best charge it before work tomorrow.

Truly impressive.

It certainly could be the Provari some, but then I used my Provari with Nauty's and I never got coil life like this out of my Nauty's on a Provari.



No can do there R. You see I no longer have a Nauty to use. I gave my P3 Nauty to Kat and I gave the last Nauty I had to the Cable guy, along with a P2.5 to help him get off cigs. I'm a Nauty-Free house.



Not necessarily Robin. I believe the Kabuki holds 3ml of juice, not 2. So you're getting 9ml of juice in 3 tanks at 12.4 watts, that's not bad at all. I'm getting 4 tanks or 12ml at 9.8 watts. I think they're comparable given your wattage is higher.

I shall have to be the guinea kat for this experiment, as I have all the right equipment (yes, I do ). Give me some time, but I'll do the test for ya.

Thanks in part to you, Mr. Sir of Rod Lube, Radi Master, I DO have a Naughty house... ;)

(oh, and tiz 2.5ml in the Kabuke, Sir.)

Your vid,

Thank my dearest. Perhaps this link will take one directly to the video:

Go to about the 4 minute mark. I haven't myself measured my Kabuki as I don't fill via syringe. Maybe @zen will pop in and say exactly how much he designed it to hold?

Well, ticket is created...

Hi USMCotaku,

Sorry to hear about the issue. This is the first time I've heard about that one. We will certainly take good care of you and figure out what's going on. We will respond to your ticket tomorrow and also talk to the engineers to see what they think.

We like to learn as much as possible about any issues so we can mature the product and diagnose any bugs. It's likely we will swap units so we can look over your device.

I cleaned the bar so I thought I'd get a pic of all my mods real quick. I also tried to show the effects of different lighting on how the Midnight Blue looks. Also notice the blue flakes in the granite tile and how it changes as well depending on lighting and exposure (can really only even see them with the flash). This is just with my phone.. Still top lazy to pull out DSLR.

The pics without the flash show the blue in the Radius more accurately. (Really the last ones from the left perspective are the "most accurate" real world representation I think).

Look at them, lined up like little soldiers reay to fight the war on cancer! VERY nice!

Assuming the 'Buki holds 2mls (when measured properly :)), at 12.4 watts, I am getting only 3 tanks - 6mls - on a Radius charge. I don't get it. Seems as though my battery should be lasting a bit longer, based on yours and others' experience.

My syringes say about 2.8Ml.... not sure where you guys are getting yours. But I do have a question... are you using boost? That may explain the lack of battery life... I run no boost and a Kabuki/Radius combo will run 2 days at 11 watts.
