Problem is I just read that it is only Windows compatible and I only have Macs, and I would imagine that there will be a few updates being released as would be expected with a new product?

I'm in the same dilemma. I may have to wait until they release ones with an update, as I only have Macs, don't have a ProVape dealer near me and don't know anyone who lives close who has a Windows box...

I'm a little surprised the update software was not created for pc and mac ... I tend to avoid anything that is only pc compatible.

Really guys? Let's put this into perspective. The P3 was the first ProVape mod you could update the firmware, but you had to either send it in to ProVape, or find a dealer that had the programmer - most did not. Some people on the P3 forum drove an hour or more to do this.

Now the Radius is released, and can be updated by any Windows box. I'm sure that if you don't have a Windows box at work, you have a friend who lives less than an hour away. But, if you have no friends, maybe your local ProVape dealer will do it for you, and you still have the option of sending it in to ProVape.

Some people are never satisfied... *sigh*

All this talk about Mac and Elitism and you's guys have just thrown me off my elitist perch. I'm a Windows guy. There I said it. And for me, Windows works just fine, does what I need it to do and is the only system I can use to access my work systems.

Some Le Magister goodness on my radius. Perfect vape.

I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger on the Radius, as I have a ProVari 2.5 (my daily driver) and love the quality of the device. Considering that we're right around the start of the holiday season, does ProVape typically offer holiday discounts (Black Friday, Christmas) around this time of year? The price is a bit of a tough pill to swallow, but I'd love to get the device.

They've certainly offered some discounts on Black Friday, but there's no guarantee they will this year.

One thing that would be sweet if Provape made the button light up green when finished charging on the next software update, or at least make it an option. Also, there's a tiny bug where the lightning bolt stays on the battery meter even though its fully charged, and it goes away sometimes when fully charged. No biggie though.

FWIW, the dealer is 4000km away. I work from home and I use a mac. It is a legitimate concern and one that I will likely get around.

I don't think this was a question that deserves such a deriding response. Perhaps if you quoted the areas that said how wonderful I think my P3 is it may show some balance, combined with the fact that I like my device so much that I am considering purchasing the Radius due to it being made by Provape. So yes... really.

Being a Linux user, I've pretty much become used to being left in the cold on such things.
Yes, Vape360 confirmed that there were no plans for a generic Linux version of the software - except for a possible Mac version.

I could be wrong but me thinks a Radius is not in your future...... :sneaky:
I decided to get a Radius and talked to some Dutch dealers if they plan to carry it and if not, if they're willing to order one for me. The 800mah charge rate however is a deal breaker for me. So you're right, the Radius is not in my future.

Naw. Nothing elitist about macs. If you're an artist or musician you probably use a Mac. If you're not savvy enough to use a pc you use a Mac. Nothing about that is elite. lol
Then being a PC/Windows user is elitist? I have both (and Linux) and prefer the command line...so I guess that makes me old school. At least I'm not having to flip switches or use punch cards....

I remember dropping a deck of cards. Wasn't good. All Mac, all the time. I figure ProVape will come out with a Mac interface, eventually :)

Windows boxes are like fleas - they're everywhere. That was my point. To complain about not having access to a Windows box... Really?
If the procedure is simple enough, it may be that we are able to conduct it on a public library computer?!?
