Right around 32 minutes of the latest "Plumes of Hazard" (episode 98) on YouTube - they review the Radius. And it's a good and fair assessment!

I'm too afraid to link to it due to some slight swearing.... They don't swear a lot, but they do...

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. :)

I'm the type who checks the status at least once every hour when a package is out for delivery and when I get the "Delivered" notification and I happen to be at work, the day suddenly gets longer! I live in a small building in a very low-key area of Brooklyn, not the type of place where someone would try to break into mailboxes. Then again, never say never!

It was a fiasco. since you are unaware of my personal situation, please refrain from commenting. Also learn to read.
Oh I read it just fine and I will leave it at that since any direct reply will come across as a personal attack. I'll just say I have never had any issues making other arrangements with USPS when circumstances required them.

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.
Priority mail didn't always require a signature. It's only been the last few years since they added the automatic $50 insurance that signatures became required. Prior to that, you had to request it if not insuring the package or add delivery insurance with its recipient signature verification included.

I receive Priority Mail all of the time and have never signed for a package. I didn't sign for my P3's or the Radius I bought from a dealer in Fl who sent it Priority mail. If it's a small box it's in the mail box if larger it's dropped on my front porch.

Quality, cheers mate I enjoyed that, I really hope they listen to him and others in regards to adding the ability to scroll through the menu with the + & - butons. Without owning one (YET!!!) it's my only criticism, a waste of having 3 buttons.

Roll on Friday 13th, Keith from Cremedevape ordering them in, arriving in the UK, ordering it and then winging its way to me, to its forever home :)

What I thoroughly enjoyed about the Radius segment was the guy who said he used to be a fanboi but he didn't buy the Radius cause he needs more power- it no longer meets his needs. He expressed himself without being vulgar about it & didn't bash Provape customers who'd spend $200 on a 40W device when there's others out there that do more.

I also enjoyed the guy who expressed how much he likes the Radius. As he said.....it's the little things that matter. What intrigued me was when he said that the Radius performed better than his 200W mod!

But what they both said, if you need more than 40W, don't buy this.

That Ghost White looks great in the photos posted a couple of pages back. It'll probably sell out in a few minutes and go on a lengthy backorder.
Hopefully Provape will have plenty in stock. It's backorders which cause folks to buy other stuff.
According to their site the white go up for purchase 11/13......my bank account says NO NO NO Not that day!!!! :(

I just called the local B&M that had the Radii listed as available on their website. The person who answered the phone told me that a guy came in yesterday and bought every single ProVari (Radius included, of course) and VaporShark that they had in stock. He was actually shocked that someone dropped that much cash in one shot.

I couldn't agree more about the situation with backorders. Unfortunately, all other colors are on backorder (hence the 2-3 week wait) and I really don't expect things to be different with the Ghost White. Take a look at my post above - apparently, these things are really in high demand!

Sometimes my postman signs for me --- sometimes. (It's quite possible he just forgets about the signature tag....and does it later in the day...and I'm happy about that.) Most ProVi packages are sent requiring signature and for me that means a trip to the post office and long lines.

I liked the bit of the Plume discussion on the Radius that I listened to. Pretty accurate to me and nice to see a "modern" vaper, enjoying Pro-Rad, though some of his pals so wanted to roll their eyes, IMHO. Thanks for letting us know about it.

Hey - there's an inspired thought there. Maybe the good ole' USPS could start offering invasive procedures - WHILE you wait in line for your package!

Get it all over with, you know?

Here's your box, now turn and cough.
:eek:

For me, going to the post office is a step above going to the dentist for an invasive procedure. Waiting online just to pick up a package defeats the purpose of delivery, doesn't it?

Hoarding in front of the FDA.
