Official ProVari Radius Thread

[AstroTurf]

I don't like box mods, but if ProVape made one I may have a change of heart, as long as power is kept at 30 watts or less...

Again, I ask why?

 

[AstroTurf]

So its insulting to want a company to make something I may like again?
Better yet how can you say I flatter you and insult you in the same sentence?
Hmmm now I am confused. How can you not see that wanting to see Provape expand their product line to include options that more people may want as bad?
More sales typically equates to more money .... its been a few decades since I took economics; but, I thought businesses like money.
And who said glitter or a bomb box? I built my last mod and it hasn't blown up yet, even with the scotch tape around the torn battery wrapper. Those Scottish make good tape.

I would just love to know what's wrong with having the ability to fire an arty higher if its ability to fire lower is not effected. for whatever reason the logic escapes me.
I'll stop there, when the p3 was released no one could explain that to me either, and rather resorted to insulting me them too, enjoy ya'll.


To Provape: I was really wanting to give you money again, but alas, maybe next time.
Vape360 please feel free to PM me.

Don't lose heart...

This one is far from being revealed.

ENTRY! ENTRY!
OMG I only have 2 Provis, I NEED a THIRD! Whatever it may be...

 

[jwbnyc]

After much meditation and summoning of all my admin powers... I declare, with certainty, that this will be a rounded edge box mod!

Well that's it then.

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.

I know what a roper is... no offense taken.

maybe a Zen-ProVape collaboration; 30 watts or less, preferably...

It's not a Zen-ProVape collaboration. I'm begging for hints too. Pretty hard, actually. You guys DO realize I'm like the most rabid ProVari collector on the planet, right?

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.

And truthfully, they never have been on that path. It seems as though many people would like them to be, but I've admired their ability to remain focused in their given direction. ProVape is on the cutting edge of safety, reliability, customer service and designing devices for people to quit smoking and stay smoke free.

MORE HINTS PLEASE!

Lurker coming out of the shadows...
My 2 yr vaperversary was 2 weeks ago thanks to my Provaris. This would be a nice prezzie!

Congrats on your two years WH

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.

Statements like that bother a lot of us but not for the reasons youre thinking.

The very core of the Provaris design principle is this; Keep It Simple Stupid.

When people ask for the more bells and whistles they skip right over whats made the Provari arguably the most successful mod in the history of vaping...and thats reliability.

The more moving parts and the more complicated something is the more apt it is to break down.

Need proof?

Look at the Evic.

 

[AstroTurf]

I must say that after 9 pages, this has groan to be quite humorous.

To see the speculation, begging, and beggars.

I like a safe device, who doesn't?

But to say that a higher powered device cannot be safe or suit a beginning vaper is wrong.

Safety, Quality, and Power can all fit together.

Will it be done by ProVape? Time will tell.

Watching, Jim

2 p2.5' and 1 p3; All three have gone in for repair
2 sx350j's, 2sx330s, 1 sx350, none have gone in for repair
2dna30s-neither gone in for repair
9, dna40s-4 have gone back
2dna 200s, neither had any issue.......... yet

Bottom line via percentages... 100% of my Provape mods have had issues; 1 physical, 2 software
37% of my evolve mods have had issues 1issue is so common and well known that its sad and funny at the same time
0% of my yihi mod's have had issues.


Edit::: in the end it doesn't matter they are gonna do what they want, but maybe they'll see this and see the market is ready for them to open the doors to a wider audience.

Above quote shortened by me for Brevity, relevance and readability.

Im sorry that youve had issues with your Provaris.I can tell you that a quick search of this forum will show that your experience is highly atypical in regards to Provape and its products.

Do you know how many mods I own?

1

Why?

Because its all I need.

It hasnt let me down once in almost 3 years of vaping.

Im not sure that companies will ever make a mod that satisfies those with shinyitis.

 

[zapped]

That's great for you, I was hoping to be the same way until my first 2.5 broke.
And we are discussing more people than the ones on this thread
I'm well aware of their reputation which is what shocked me so much after it broke 3 weeks into owning it.

What happened to it?

And did you send it back to get it fixed?

That last part is VERY important.

You cant do that with many mods on the market today.

 

[k2zs]

I'm curious about what it may be... I'll subscribe to this thread...

 

[Zen~]

My experience with higher power mods has been disastrous...

The VariAnt frequently decided to reset itself at full power, blowing coils right and left, then resetting itself to settings that you can't even set the mod to manually. It's quite a shock when you're vaping at 12 watts then BLAMMO... it's at 150.

The Gi2 was a real treat... If you left the batteries in it for a couple days it over discharged them so they could no longer be charged safely.

HexOhm can over discharge the cells as well, but only in use.

DNA40s... OMG what a nightmare... I've never had one last more than a month without SOME issue.

SX stuff has been clunky, but more or less reliable, I just don't care for all the info that I'm inundated with on that screen.

I like to think I'm a fairly sophisticated user, maybe I'm not, though, because people keep telling me how good high power vaping is and I simply don't care for it. The Hardware has been problematic, and the vaping experience has been harsh and unpleasant.

The China Boxes like the octopus, jelly fish, sigelli, kanger, clouper, Kamri, I'm sure I've missed a few... Are just cheap junk that feels like it's made for a younger crowd. I don't buy cheap watches, appliances, Televisions, etc... so I don't buy crappy poorly made chinese vaping boxes either. They promise high power... anybody with REAL test equipment can see it's largely fantasy power anyway.

I don't know... maybe I'm an old curmudgeon that sees things way differently than others... I vape at 12-14 watts, I don't smoke... I'm happy. If the new Radius is built ProVari tough, and has at least 15 watts I'll end up owning a few... I obsessively collect things I like. Anything more than that for me is paying for capability I will never use. I want it to be bulletproof, reliable, and handsome, because to me, looks DO matter. The classier the better.

 

[ENAUD]

I think they are going to hit it out of the park with this release! It's been a year or thereabouts since the release of the P3. Provape has had a bunch of time to analyze how that all played out, and now they are introducing something new...I expect that a lot of us are going to be really surprised by it.

 

[Katdarling]

X2. One fer me, one for the Longolino. We don't even care what it is. We'll take two, please. (One in Ti, and one in Bling.)

[Zen~]

Ok Zen, you seem to be a voice of reason.... if it does your 15w just the way you like but it also did 50 or 60 or whatever and had a safe amp limit, would you see a problem?

At the heart of the matter, possibly.

I know the upper limits of what can be safely and reliably pulled from a single 18650 battery, at least with the battery chemistry as it exists today. In my opinion, anything much higher than 35-40 watts will have either REALLY short battery life when used in the upper limits, or be stressing the living bejesus out of the cell. I have no interest whatsoever in owning a PV large enough to house a pair of 18650s, so that truly does set that upper limit.

So I would not want the trade-offs needed to get to that 50 watt range on a single cell. Yes there are devices with single cells that claim to be "60 watts", but I have never been able to get them to actually produce that much power on the bench into a real load... yeah, the screen says it's at 60 watts, the math and measurements say something different. But that's not my point.

So to answer your question, IF they could defy the laws of physics and produce a mod that could ACTUALLY produce 50-60 watts safely on a single cell that would last more than a very short time of vaping, and it didn't cost me a dime more than if it could only do 15 watts, which is all I need, and it's all I have ever needed vaping, then I would have absolutely no issue whatsoever with it being able to do both things.

But...

If it cost more money, was bigger, heavier, didn't feel as good in my hand, looks like I'm vaping a walkie talkie, or was in any way less reliable to achieve that power, then no... not really interested. But that's just me. I make observations, but I sure wouldn't presume to tell people how THEY should think or feel.

 

[Train2]

Oh I figured it was a number at random - and like I said, I see nothing wrong with wanting 150 or 20 watts - and I wish my 2.5 could fire at say 0.5 - I'd probably pick up a new RTA and use it more. I just would be pretty surprised if anything with notably higher wattage is what comes next from ProVape...

I mean, I'm kinda partial to squonkers - but I doubt the Radius will be a bottom-feeder, too! lol

Hey train, I was kinda joking at the 150w number, realistically with their focus on safety I can see dual 18650s at 80w and you a-f reasons are why so many of us that do like to us RDAs in the 40-50+ range(65-75) would love a Provape mod. That works with how we like to vape at times,
While mine have all had to go to the shop, at least, there was a shop to go to. Lol

 

[spaky]

Well the window in my first Provari busted in my pocket today, so I obviously both want and need this!

 

[Train2]

And yeah, just to be clear - I'm with you on this.
I think it would be great to have more power, I think ProVape would have done much better with the P3 when it was new if it could go 30, 40 or 50. I totally "get" wanting to be able to fire low ohms - on a device from ProVape if you like the other features!
And in general, ALL ELSE EQUAL, then SURE, I'd love to have a bigger range.
I see no downside.
Lemme take off the 2-ohm cartotank, and pop on my 0.2-ohm dripper, lol!

Yes I did all of the broken ones were fixed or replaced, the modder I got the DNA's from sent me the new mod's and return postage, so I was never without the mod. Provape took 2 weeks to fix it after they received it.,

None of which is the point, the point was they are not impervious to issues. Just like anything else that does something they have have problems as well.
Back to my original question............
