Just checked tracking and my Radius is scheduled for delivery tomorrow! I will be sitting by my mailbox until I see the mailman!
I'm jealous.
Mine's still saying processing. Is there an interim status between processing and shipped, such as 'lick your lips almost ready'?

Not that I saw-just a little more patience and it will magically say shipped!

I don't have a Radius but I do pocket the Mini 2.5. I imagine the 3.0 will ride in a pocket just as well and might be better. I understand the P3 connector is much stronger that I see is a plus for pocket carry. Hopefully someone who pocket carries are Radius will jump in. My self If I had a Radius I picture it being a desk unit and would still likely pocket a 2.5 Mini, take this with a grain of salt since I don't have a Radius.

Get both, get a Radius and a Provari P3. This way you can have both loaded up at home for variety and a smaller unit to drop in your pocket.

I'm not wild about box mods for pocket carry when I'm at work, but the Radius is fine on the day off.

One thing I will say is I prefer the P3 in 350 mode over the 2.5 because of where they placed the button. It's not quite as cramped for my medium sized hands. My fingers always feel a bit scrunched up with the mini.

Since I don't have a P3 I have not felt the difference but I can visualize it.

If I were starting today but knew the things that I encountered during this journey I would have a Radius, and two stain steel P3's loaded with 18650's on the desk and a titanium P3 in 350 mode for pocket carry. I like the weight of steel on a desk, the weight makes it more stable, titanium however is nicer in the pocket. The only non Provape device would be the best tiny automtic I could get for those hands free vaping moments.

Me too. I've never been as productive as I was with MS-DOS, Software Carousel, XyWrite, Quattro Pro, GrandView, Tornado Notes, etc.

I thought the best word processor I ever used was WordStar 5.0 in a DOS based system. I knew it so well and found it second nature. Software Carousel seemed like a miracle.

Thanks for the awesome pics! Exactly what I was looking for!

So as I suspected, the Radius is basically the size of two minis side-by-side.

As a result of these pictures Zen got another sale...instead of buying a mini 2.5 straight from Provape, I bought a GMZ mini that Zen upgraded to the P3 connector. I may never use a 510 anything ever again, unless the FDA apocalypse happens.

I know I'm getting antsy. I was hoping not to wait the full two weeks. But looks like I will be.

My order number of 179960 has finally shipped. Woohoo! Sent them an email this morning curious of ETA of if I would be waiting the full two weeks. Order was placed around 9am (MT) on Black Friday. On a side note, I think I sold my ex-wife on Provari. Was talking all sorts of good things, and saying 'don't waste your time on cheap mod's from China.'

My Cabernet Radius did arrive today. I am currently charging it, so haven't really used it yet. First impressions are that it's not as heavy as I feared it would be and it is definitely more complicated than an IStick! I may have to actually read the manual! lol....

Great news Jingles. I've found it just as easy as the IStick to use on a daily basis. To me the menu is there for the fun and useful customization....and grooves in very quickly.

My only "huh" was remembering to push all three buttons for a couple seconds to turn it on and off.

I cant wait to have some presets. I have diffrent coils and being able to just hit the preset will be nice instead of fumbling around to change the setting. ugh i cant wait.
