Per my monitor Bwoo is more between Denim and Spruce. Midnight Blue is a pretty good descriptive name for it. It's handsome. :)

Yes, around those too. It changes depending on the lighting. I just don't see it as blue as denim, more like spruce, but I haven't seen it outside. Whatever we call it, I'm very happy it's dark.

For me, anything white won't stay white very long. Doesn't matter what it is, I know it will have a gray tinge to it in no time.
I am right there with you!!! I look at dirt and I am dirty. So I can just imagine what a white mod would look like within 10 min. lol

Sorry :(, it's not the shade of blue. Others may see it differently, but to me it looks close to what is called "aegean" on this chart. It looks almost black in low light.

Agreed on that assessment

I have to say first that there was no shipping fiasco and to say there was implies wrong doing on provapes part and the several weeks comment has to be wrong. I can see several days but not several weeks. They haven't been out that long so I think you mis spoke.

As for your battery issue, there have been reports of a bug that caused batt errors that was fixed in FW 18. However it also sounds like a possible dud batt. If you have another charger try using it to charge the batt verifying volts before and after. Also if you have another18650 available try a different batt and see if it still happens. Contact provape as well as they might have other ideas to check. They will take care of your issues, especially if it is a device failure because they want those in the engineers hands for analysis asap.

It was a fiasco. since you are unaware of my personal situation, please refrain from commenting. Also learn to read.

Shufflefield,

Sent you a PM.

Kindly

Donkey Shins. It was fully charged this AM. Hopefully 18 has fixed it as I have been up for about 2 hours and I didn't get that instant drop to 25% I mentioned. It looks to be reading a more normal drain on the battery. I will keep an eye on it.

When did you place your order? I'm waiting for an Onyx as well, ordered on October 28. I'm guessing it should be shipping any day now.

I ordered a blue one on October 28 and just received it last night. An upside is that it came with the new firmware update.

This is pure speculation on my part, but I'm assuming that Onyx Black is probably more in demand than the Midnight Blue (the whole black goes with everything thing). This is in no way to disparage the MB, as it was certainly up for consideration before I settled on the OB. It's still sitting in "Processing", but the most I may have to wait is another week, if, that is, ProVape's 2-3 week shipping timeframes are accurate!

I ordered from an Australian reseller last week so my situation will be different from yours :)

Hahaha you're right about that one! I was perusing the website of one of my local B&Ms yesterday and saw that they have the Radius in stock. For a split second, I actually considered canceling my order and picking one up at the B&M, especially with the signature requirement at the time of delivery. I work during regular business hours and will most certainly not be home when the mail arrives, which means having to go to the post office the following day to pick up the package (I usually avoid the post office like the plague, unless absolutely necessary). Then again, being able to avoid sales tax by ordering from ProVape is definitely an upside.

Ohhhh you might want to call the PO asap so they wont send it out in the morning.
Would hate to see you waiting in line for a package that's back on the truck.
Would hate to see you chasing a mail truck instead of grabbing it straight from the PO. ;)

I'll see if the wife of my building's superintendent will be home on the day of delivery and ask her to sign for the package. If not, my local post usually doesn't redeliver, unless specifically requested and will hold the package for pickup. If I end up having to go to the post office, I'll have to get to work late. Hopefully, the super's wife will be home or the package is sent to arrive on Saturday.

I wonder why ProVape is requiring a signature for the Radius? When I ordered my 2.5, it was shipped regular Priority.

Provape has required a signature on everything I've bought from them since I became a customer. My guess would be because it's vape gear and to ensure it doesn't wind up in the wrong hands.

Same here ... always a signature on ProVaris.

Fortunately I've always been home when expecting to take delivery of vape mail but my carrier was *I think* LOL - sick of me stalking him/her that if I had a package that needed signing, they'd just sign it & leave it.

I can count of one hand how many x's that's happened in 2 yrs.
For Provape mail I was waiting on the porch!

The Radius is my third order from ProVape. The first two were left in my mailbox that requires a key to open. Oh well, I'm not sweating it too much.
This would disturb me greatly. Yes, there's the satisfaction of it being locked & no one can get to it but I'd have to have it in my grubby lil hands & picture someone breaking the lock open.
Wherever I was that day I'd be heading home as soon as I got the notification on my phone my package had been delivered. :)
