We were. Why do you ask?
I was distracted there for a second. Would a roundish boxy thing hybrid be a box, tube, or Cait?
Bube.
I can feel Robin breathing down my neck, patience eroding.
I will apologize now, and head to the grocery store; BEFORE I cut my feet on the razor. [emoji169]
Seems if ProVape is releasing a version of temp. control which will actually work, they will need to control the tank and coil heads, as well. What are the chances the Radius comes with a tank and ProVape has custom coil heads for it?
I don't know anything about the lawsuit that was mentioned here. I do know not to jump to conclusions when it comes to lawsuits.
Take in point the famous McDonald's spilled coffee lawsuit.
I'm sure most here has heard of it, and all the jokes and put downs this poor lady went through. The good old news media basically said this women was driving and spilled her coffee, got burnt, and sued
People were outraged over this.
Truth of what happened never seemed to make the news.
The women's name was 79 yr old Stella Liebeck, who was a passenger not the driver, in a parked car. Liebeck placed the cup between her knees and attempted to remove the plastic lid from the styrofoam cup so she could add cream and sugar to her coffee.
McDonalds held its coffee at between 180 and 190 degrees fahrenheit. Most places sell coffee and coffee served at home around 135 to 140 degrees, burn hazard exists with any food substance served at 140 degrees or above.
The sweatpants Liebeck was wearing absorbed the coffee and held it next to her skin. A vascular surgeon determined that Liebeck suffered full thickness burns (or third-degree burns) over 6 percent of her body, including her inner thighs, perineum, buttocks, and genital and groin areas. She was hospitalized for eight days, during which time she underwent skin grafting. Liebeck, who also underwent debridement treatments, sought to settle her claim for $20,000, but McDonalds refused.
There were 700 other claims by people burned by their coffee between 1982 and 1992. Some claims involved third-degree burns substantially similar to Liebecks.
So McDonald's knew about the risk.
The truth is a pretty good read,
The Actual Facts about the Mcdonalds' Coffee Case
But my point is, unless you know all the honest true facts, don't judge a lawsuit from what the media tells you.
Thanks for posting this Chief. The McDonald's case was horrific. I cringe every time I read someone using the case as an example of a frivolous lawsuit. It's an example of the spin a corporation can put on an incident in the media to misdirect the public from the facts.
During discovery it was revealed that, based on a consultants advice, McDonald's it held its coffee at between 180 and 190 degrees fahrenheit to maintain optimum taste, while being aware that liquids, at 180 degrees, will cause a full thickness burn to human skin in two to seven seconds. Their reasoning was that customers who bought coffee would want it hot when they got home.
It took a lot of PR money to turn this into a joke:

Edit: The fact the image was removed gives you an idea of the severity and horror of the injuries she sustained.

Zen attys are restricted when it comes to air flow so I guess higher ohm builds work well... Myself I like an RDA that can pull enough air through to keep up with a sub ohm build... Right now my favorite RDA's are my Kennedy and Velocity..
Or, they (new and experienced) just want to maximize the flavor of their ejuice (which, you know, might help wit smoking cessation).
Fingers crossed Zen is correct and it's not dual battery due to the extra weight. I'm liking the texture and rounded edges as those would be comfortable to hold. I have small hands and most box mods don't suit me in terms of size, shape and weight (or other tech specs). I expect the Radius will be just right!
A friend of mine likes to email articles of e-cigs (media term) exploding and blowing peoples faces off. Includes snide remarks such as, "Keep vaping, better stock up on Band-Aids..." My response (well, I quit responding) has always been the same, "We use ProVari's."
