Love it! Maybe we should consider a portion of each Radius purchase goes toward 'lab-animal' rehabilitation.

For those wondering, the contest is still going until the 16th and on Friday this week we will have a surprise related to the contest.

Model - What we call it around here or to others, colors :)

This is the Cabernet Red - The actual device is darker, more like the name. Studio lights are good at changing colors.


Tidbit of the day - The Radius uses one 18650 cell, which will be included and it can be swapped out in less than 40 seconds.


More updates soon.....

Uh oh ... or .... oh good ... depending how you look at it. But when my wife saw the cabernet her eyes lit up. There may be two new Provari's to add to our six in the coming future.

Freakin sweet! I go to VariTube's site to look at the painted Renegade Xs.
I already have 2 dual 18650 350j mods that are light as a P2.5 in 18490.
Sorta like sex, it doesn't matter where you get your appetite as long as you eat at home.
Is that aluminum?

I don't expect you to agree with me. I expect you to run back to VU with Chanara and complain more about my Hamsters, for what it's worth.
Perhaps Chanara is simply passionate about what he believes in and embraces respectful confrontation regarding those issues.
Your above statement, to me personally, substantiates some of the concerns he has voiced.
I am a bit surprised.

If you used Digi Camo G10 (typical knife scale material), it could be machined, but molded? I'm not sure.... Never seen it done. G10, Micarta, GMascus et al are usually found in the block state due to the way the material is made. An aftermarket piece could probably be made....

Yes, It their kit mod. It was a lot of fun building it. It's a real hoot to unleash it from time to time though!

But, Just an fyi for Y'all. I left for work with 4 mod/tank combos today... 3 were Provi.

Cheers, Jim

PS I vaped all 4 at least once before I got home.

I guess 30+ years of working electronics knowledge, patents, and engineering school doesn't make me qualified to speak..but, the OP was not that far off.
power output (watts) = power in (watts) + overhead.
Assuming that the Baird is 90% efficiency (ProVape is 95%, but well error on the high side of loss to be safe)
60w output = 60watts input / 90% = ~66w total power consumed by the battery.
W = V*I. So assuming a battery cutoff of 3.3V, 3.3V * 20A = 66W power consumption by the battery. (If you want to calculate with a 95% efficiency, the consumption would be 63.1W, and at a 3.3v cutoff, it's now 19A at cutoff...and at 4v, which would be the average available voltage, you are sitting around 15a)
One factor that is overlooked (for good reason!), is that the CDR rating *IS* conservative, and has already factored in manufacturing tolerance, degradation over life of battery, as well as its padded a bit for good measure to protect against liability (I.e. The "idiot proofing factor").
With a good quality 20A battery, 60w is absolutely safe. 50 is even safer. And the fact that ProVape is including a good battery, and providing USB charging, a majority of users will never change the battery for at least the first year!
Good info!

There are plenty of 50+ watt mods. The naysayers even say the SX are as good a quality as ProVari, if not better. Why they continue to insist ProVape made a mod they will never buy I don't know...
Because they are formerly banned members of this forum coming back to start some scat...

Really surprised upper management hasn't caught on to them yet.

Sigh...and there it is. Everyone was getting along so civilly. Can we all agree to disagree on certain points?
I wish we could...

But, Even though we have the same goal of not smoking...

The Tower of Babel screwed with more than just our tongues.

Very Very Sad
