So to pose a question, is it that some of the non 'hobbyist '(I don't agree there maybe some still smoked before (30-40w+). but let's take the dna, it capes the same at 10w as it does at 100w
So the question, is it that a non-hobbyist wants a company to make a product specifically dedicated to lower wattage gaping to keep we dirty higher power vapors away from the product line?
I'm curious, it seemed to bother a few when I stated a desire for a higher powered mod.
For myself, I'm not bothered but rather I feel there is more than enough choices for higher wattage devices out there for people who choose to use those devices. I have owned and used many myself - but, I use a ProVari because - gasp - it suits me. I know what to expect when I buy Provape's products.

If they chose to build a device that does higher wattage, I'm sure people will buy it, as they do other devices. I can also chose, as I have with the P3, that it is not a necessary expense for me based on the way I enjoy vaping.

BTW - ignore everything I said if the do a Ti first!

And Zen, before you take slight to my comment:

  • The Roper: The member of the crew who identifies the mark, and lures the mark in. The roper usually begins by finding a way to get close to the mark, insinuating himself into the mark's life. Slowly, he or she makes the con sound enticing by offering the mark what he seems to want, leading up to an introduction to the inside man. From there, the roper's job is to keep the mark interested. He or she may create the illusion they are a participant in whatever opportunity the con offers the mark. The roper is often an older man with the appearance of affluence or an enticing woman, who embodies what the mark aspires to: wealth and the attention of a beautiful woman.

Alas, the week of the 16th we will be in the middle of a major move and probably won't have internet service that week or possibly the week after. Actually, given the fact we are moving to new ISP territory, who knows when we will have internet.

Point is, looks like we will miss out on all the hoopla. Good thing Jackie and I will have our P3's (and V2's), my Kabuki's and her K4 to get us through the dark times.

Oh, and by the way, the face I see is Zen's...

I would be compelled to feel insulted if your statements were original and not a dime a dozen...You know why I don't waste my money on DNA, SX J chips, China_Bomb box with glitter? I don't want to...See. Nothing isolationists about it. You flatter me by insinuating I have control on the development of a company I happen to not own.

You know what else...You don't see me in the "high wattage" thread throwing around insults. Have some respect.

Ok, because I am taking a break (brake) from the Xbox One and warming up some leftover spaghetti and nothing else to do just yet, I'll join in on the guessing fun and guess that it's some kind of box mod. Wattage? Don't care. Currently, I'm vaping on a P3 with a Kabuki and HH 2.0 coil at 7 watts and fogging up my trailer (that we are moving out of). I'm still getting WAY MORE vapor than smoke I ever got from a Marlboro Red!

But hey, that's just me! Whatever floats your boat and keeps you off the analogs is fine by me! If you want to buy whatever it is that makes you happy or don't want to buy something you feel won't make you happy, cool!

coldgin96, over and out (for now)

OK, my guess - a self contained mod. Short (18500 max) with a side by side thing going on. The tank section is embedded into the mod itself BUT (here's where Radius comes in) you can turn the 2 halves and detach the tank section to clean it! Comes complete with glass liquid window and you can use either pre-built coils or the included RBA deck!

Already done before? Sos the tube...ProVape just made it the bestest.

You've invented a reason why ProVape doesn't offer a high wattage mod.
And it's not a likely reason (to limit their sales, or exclude or discriminate against someone???).
There were HUNDREDS of discussions about the P3 pre-launch, and whether it would have what was at the time, considered high wattage.

And it came out with a lower power limit than a lot of devices already available.
And ProVape explained their strategy, and their focus, and while they definitely lost a segment of the market, they're still doing OK.

It's fine for you to hope that the Radius will be 200 watts, it's just not likely given the history of the vendor. They tend to NOT be at the cutting edge of that.

It's very likely that a new mod from ProVape would be:
a) Ridiculously durable
b) Extremely well designed and machined
c) Higher quality and US sourced parts
d) Pricey (if compared to other devices based solely on the power limit)
e) Somewhat innovative (even if their product "seems conservative" - remember that their display is different, their button is different, they made the first unbreakable 510, and then went on to invent a new connection standard...they do have a tendency to re-think, and then perfect, the "little things")
f) Leaning, in a fairly extreme manner, towards protection/safety for the consumer - including the noob. This, from interviews with the owners, being a huge motivating factor in their design decisions.



Right so basically, all those higher wattage mods that are inclusive to lower wattage vapors are great but we have to have this one mod and mod company that is what some could say is discriminatory against higher wattage vapors.
Albeit, that is an extreme statement, but my point is missed.

Yes, there are SEVERAL mode out there that works for higher wattage vapors, almost all of which, work equally well for lower wattage as well. Hence, your statement is almost like a 'let them eat cake.'

But it definitely answers my origami question gasp the provarinati need the mod to be exclusively what they want, which, is limiting the sales of Provape, to your own admission, several of us that prefer to go above 20w would buy one.
I speak only for myself who has bought multiple devices from them, and am only here to see what this is supposed to be, but though I would satisfy a long held curiosity on what makes this almost a small faction of self imposed isolationists in the vaping community.

Oooh, we're officially guessing now? FUN!!!

OK, here's my guess:

Skinny mod.
  • Like 16-18mm diameter
  • Maybe groundbreaking efficiency, letting it give you a kick of a vape and a reasonable run time despite a smaller battery
  • I guess it'd have to have it's own ProVape tank, and/or Ego compatibility
  • I'm gonna say it'd be based on P3 or "Classic" chip, so VW and maybe 15-20 watts or so
  • So, yeah - an industrial strength, reliable, maintainable 20 watt VW Ego-kinda thing.
  • Great starter or stealth or backup...
  • Just my guess:D

Could it be the first built in battery mod from Provape,((( shudder))), Perish the thought :shock: I'm really excited trying to guess, a mod with the board not on top of the battery and a set battery size of 18650 might give them the opportunity to really open up the P3 circuit board and let it sing at 30-40 watts, maybe!?! Who knows, but it is fun waiting to see what the wizards have been up to behind the curtain :)
