Official ProVari Radius Thread

Waiting on a purple Radius..that would solve the green battery problem!

I want a clear one. Transparent, not translucent. Yeah.

I haven't taken the bottom off of mine, but could tiny rubber washers be put around the screws to keep them from falling out? But, honestly, if they are going to fall out I'm glad they are big enough to see. I've had to hunt down tiny screws from mechs and it was a pain.

I'm not especially worried about losing the screws.

But, I do think it might be possible to bust those screw anchors out of the polycarbonite if you dropped the mod alot, or even, just the right way even once.

I generally run with the screen and button off, on my other mods, but gotta say, with the ghost, I really like the button set to random with the different colors suffusing the polycabonate shell. Silly, but I get a kick out of it.

You're not alone...

 

[MsLoud]

I guess I'd take any shade of purple the Mother Ship might offer us!



I don't think any of us know, but his reviews of late seem to be more focused on TC devices. I too would have expected a Radius review from him.

If he mentions the fact it has no TC settings in a "thumbs down" I will unsubscribe his channel.

As far as a Ti variation goes, it would still have to be mostly polycarbonite.

The only Ti bits we would see, would be the top and bottom plates, maybe the screws.

I can't see ProVape wanting to mill the entire shell out of Titanium. That would be a copper-plated beeotch.

Could be wrong, but doubt it.

I would have to agree with him on having the threaded sleeves the screws need anchored into the polycarbonite as being a potential weak point down the road.

I concur, I expected to see stanchions coming from the top metal piece for anchoring the base.

Agreed, there's really no point to using Ti looking at the construction shown in the video posted. It would cost a fortune and offer nothing in return...

If you look closely the pictures on the website show the green battery is visible. That was a deal breaker for me.

I think it looks better in person. The green is barely noticeable, to my eyes anyway. I just love the lights, they are groovey lol. A bit of playfulness in an otherwise serious device.

Yet apparently it was noticeable enough to the reviewer who didn't consider why it's called Ghost White. Lol! Perhaps that is a good thing or he might have tried to throw it through a wall.

Anyone else want to add their name?

Most likely. Depends on the purple.

Considering how the other colors look, the purple might be darker in low light.

I'd love one if it was really this purple.

Can you get a pic with the purplish color showing difused in the shell?

Someone pointed out that his reviews have been different since his trip to China. How many hours does it really take to review a DNA 200?

If memory serves me correctly, he was googly over the ProVari & all things ProVape until he got a taste of subohm'g. Now all his reviews seem tailored to the subohm crowd.

I stopped watching him months ago when it recently dawned on me he hasn't squealed a word about ProVape since his tour....did he do a P3 review? I don't have a P3 so I never bothered to check if he did one.

Note 5!!!

Awwww damn! Just add me to the purple list. I'm a white feen but could work with this purple.....but only this shade.....don't like dark purple.

Come to think of it, it seems to me all the Radius colors look darker IRL then the pics on ProVape's site. Wish they'd have been more vibrant in color instead of so dull looking.

Those with the Radius- Does the color seem dull to you?

Note 5!!!

I'd agree here but we don't know how the nuts are machined or if they are molded in or pressed in. Having made a few molded parts for r/c's I can tell you the knurling on the nut makes a difference and molding them in is a lot stronger than drilling a hole and pressing them in since the hot plastic gets into all the nooks and crannies of the knurling better.

Yes, he did review the P3, but I think it was before China.

I wouldn't consider the Midnight Blue "vibrant." It looks almost black in low light.

Yep. The midnight blue isn't vibrant but I wouldn't call it dull either. The best way I can think of to describe my blue radius is that it has somewhere in between a matte look and a satin look. Not quite enough gloss for a satin but more than a matte. The color shift is akin to a pearl effect in how much black, blue or grey shows in various light.

I think it looks classy. I like it as much as the Ghost. I like all of them, I'm afraid.

Stealth Radius... FTW!!!

That's what I'm waiting for! Exclusively!
