Don't worry, I'm chill... Might not have picked up on the full extend of the sarcasm thoughI just had flashbacks of the P3 thread when people (myself included) wanted more than 20W, and inevitably someone would respond with "I don't have a need for more than 20W". Well, then don't use it!
I've tried vaping at 150W on a friend's mod, and it's a really different experience. Can't say I'd ever want to try more than that. I wonder what the future of a company like Evolv will be now that they've reached a point where more than 200W is not only unnecessary, but probably wouldn't be a selling point, and their software lets you set just about everything so there are seemingly no features left to invent. I guess they'll rely on companies coming up with new mods and continue using their chipsets.
IMHO, the next big breakthrough will be an atty that doesn't require heating a coil wrapped around a wick to produce vapor. Ever see those water fountains that are filled with fog? They use ultrasonic discs to produce the vapor. Then there's lasers!! Both technologies would take far less power than heating a coil, and would require new chipsets to be produced. Imagine the battery life? The future will potentially be very interesting, providing governments don't kill it off.
Already discussed...
freakin' lazers
Self conscious? If you wanna pretend you didn't start this when you quoted my pic & left your vile opinion then fine!

Would it be possible to leave the fingernail discussion for the "outside"? What one chooses to do with fingernails is similar to how I comb my hair, it is without consequence to anyone other than the owner of the hand (or hair) and those people who are meaningful in the life of the owner.
My guess would be that they can now work on making it work. And selling each new revision in the next mod. If they ever get it right, I may reconsider. Until then, I'll just keep juice in my tank, thereby avoiding dry hits. Juice control is far better than temp control!!Don't worry, I'm chill... Might not have picked up on the full extend of the sarcasm though

Well, what most people don't realize is when you fire a mod, you're drawing air across the coil, cooling it down. The heat is winning though, and the coil gets hotter and hotter, regardless of the wattage you use. That's because the wattage is proportional to the size of the wire, and the airflow through the atty. All wattage ranges have the same issue, to varying degrees (pun intended) - they can get much too hot. Not hot enough to burn the juice, or even the wick, but hot enough to break down the liquid components to potentially dangerous chemicals. We've all heard the flawed formaldehyde study, but at a lower temperature that still happens - just not to the extreme the study reported. Temperature control/limiting isn't just for avoiding dry hits, but for keeping the coil at a safe temperature (well beyond 420F, where cotton starts to singe). A lot more research is needed - good research - to tell us under what conditions, what happens, and how bad it really is.
Very happy with both radiusi, the kabuki bearer gets a couple of days before i charge it . The vector host, that gets charged every night. So far the usb port feels quality, not bendy, and the cord has a nice feel going in, not a click but something like that. Still hate the fiddliness of the usb standard but that is not provapes fault at all. Between that and removing a 18650 on my tubes, pretty even.
Also, first day going from 24 degrees back to 70 and so far neither kabuki has had any leak issues. Very impressed. I do like that the p3 connector feels a bit more durable and is a little easier to out on/off thanks to the wider threads.
Happy to see you are all enjoying your new ghosties. I am a wee bit tempted i admit, though a p3 zombie also looks pretty fun. I have absolutely zero need for either though.
3 2.5s, a mini, 2 radius, a p3 and 3 hex ohms. I should stop probably.

I love TC. While i love the radius, and when out and about it gets used more then any other mod, i still use tc a lot. I received an hcigar dna200 for my birthday....and so far its been perfect. The radius gets about 70% of my use, dna200 about 25%....5% for the various others just so they don't feel left out [emoji14]

Wow! Four posts in a row about vaping, and the last two actually mention the Radius! There's hope for this thread after all...I was just about to give up!
Guess maybe I'll post a pic of my Radii, in hopes this thread can get back on track....

Wait... what? The DNA30 didn't have any issues? the first 4,000 boards had a 60% fail rate... Yeah... no issues there.
Before you fire back... remember, I use the DNA30 in a mod that I made THOUSANDS of... and I bought the first 4,000 boards, lucky me, I was the first to be privileged with being able to use them. This is real data. And the long term failure rate is pretty terrible to this day.
Good times.
Guess I didn't follow the DNA30 so much, or forgot about issues (don't remember reading about it). Oh well, I guess Evolv has had its share of issues then. I used a 15W (or was it 12W?) kick back in the day - never had an issue. I suppose ProVape has by far the best track record, and perhaps YiHi has the second best (at least the SX350/SX350J)?
LOL.....I like your thought there, but suspect you can keep dreaming!
Finally got my ProVari Radius Saturday! The quality is exceptional. My observations so far and a question for ZEN
I am also slowly stocking up on aspire BVC coils...Just in case
Thanks to everyone on this great forum for all the advice and reviews. It has helped me in my decisions.
- Had have using the Kabuki 510 on my ProVari P3, but purchased two Kabuki’s with P3 threading for the Radius. All work good, except that with the Kabuki P3 thread, there is no allen screw and the aspire BVC coil makes the direct contact and seal between the Kabuki and Radius. Both the 510 and P3 Kabuki vape great and make good contact; however, I notice a little bit of juice leaks into the top plate of the Radius where there is a Red o-ring around the brass contact pin when I use the P3 Kabuki. The 510 Kabuki seldom leaked any juice into the top. For ZEN - Is this normal and can I assume that no harm is being done (over time) to the Radius recessed top-plate area around the brass pin and Red o-ring? I have read and understand the benefits you noted on this and the Kabuki thread, but am interested in your take. Personally, I can go either way since I have both the 510 and P3 Kabuki’s. Thanks Zen for any advice, and making the wonderful Kabuki!
- The Radius does provide a slightly better vape than my ProVari P3. It is more ergonomic for me, and the battery life is great. I am on day three and not even below 1/2.
- I plan to just use the USB to charge it, and replace the battery when it is no longer usable. I bought an Anker USB charger that I use to charge it rather than use my Mac USB.

I will be getting my second Radius as soon as I get past that 30 day hold for those ProVape rewards which will give me about $40 off my second Radius.

I'm sure Zen will chime in, but I'm pretty sure the moisture you see from the P3 Kabuki is condensation, not juice.
My P3 Kabuki does that as well. Just a tiny droplet so does not concern me.
