@Vape360 - The suspense is killing me! Hints and facts already! Lots of them. PLEASE :)

Of course if anyone is inclined to take a lesson from the MSFT playbook (?) you start releasing details ASAP. Long before the ship date. Why? To some extent you hammer your competition because a potential ready to pull the trigger consumer for a competitive product STOPS! They don't purchase short term and embrace "drooling" for your new product. /lol /semi joke

:)

True. But then there's Adam Osborne misstep. He gave out details about the successor to the Osborne 1 way before the Osborne Executive was ready, which killed sales for the first machine, and Osborne Computer went belly up. My thinking is you announce about two weeks before you are ready to ship.

LOL! Yea, I had one of those (O1) BUT that was, lets see about 35 years ago! HA! Nice to see a fellow founding father geek among us. Guess that 80% of the members of ECF were not even born yet accept for you and me. :)

On topic: TODAY times have changed, feature set marked preliminary finishes Alpha and you go on a publicity Blitz big time. That's months before release . Then again, we may have to agree to disagree but you DID make my day in a good way with the Osborne talk which BTW, is not a singing group.

Bout two months?!?

Why 2 months?

We will be releasing more information throughout the week and next week along with details of a giveaway soon. Stay tuned
So if not the product, at least information, to heat up things a bit.

Sorry for the mixed-up quotes previously.

So here's what I think... I want it... Now... I'll still want it in 2 months... so, why not two months?

Every device that ProVape has released was worth the wait... and every one is still a useable device even if it's 4 years old... not many companies can make that claim.

I love when ProVape does a launch... the anticipation... the hints... and then finally...

The reveal!

I love being excited about something!

Having broken my radius in the past, I just wish Provape had made mine. Pretty sure it would have held up.

Sometimes I feel like the oldest person ever around the vape crowd. I don't have the Osborne anymore, but I still have the book.

I'm curious... why was that a disaster?

The list of Authorized Dealers from ProVape is way wrong for my area. 2 listed actually carried the P3, and one of those no longer does. 1 dealer does the updates, for $20 each. I have 3, and 1 I bought from them. I know ProVape is okay with that pricing, but I'm not. It's a big expense for me. So, none are updated, and I was too angry to send them back to ProVape for the update. Petty, yes. But I bought a "Dealer's Only" Dragon out of state, and received much better service.

And I know of others that had similar experiences to mine. When I'm spending that much money, I expect a bit better.

So the problem is that you don't like your local dealer? I guess that would be kind of an issue if the only place to purchase a big ticket item is from a dealer you don't wish to support.

Personally, I love that ProVape occasionally does a "Dealer Only" release of a product because it helps to support the network of servicing dealers with the opportunity to introduce themselves to customers that often prefer to hibernate and not venture into the brick and mortars. I know with the "dealer only" release of the PV3 Beta and the Dragons, I had to hit some shops I didn't even know existed to get my hands on these elusive goodies. In the process I was introduced to two pretty solid dealers I would have never met otherwise.

I WANT A RADIUS NOW.... I've known it existed for upwards of 36 hours and I'm done waiting!

I HOPE it's P3 threaded, whatever it is! I HOPE it's light weight and sexy, and classy and doesn't need two batteries, and not too big but not too small, and I hope it has a really easy menu, if it has a menu at all... heck, I hope it reads my mind and makes settings based on what I'm thinking when I'm vaping... that would be really cool.

I want it NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Radius is a much better name than Ulna... I wouldn't want to vape a PV called Ulna.

I suppose Femur is probably worse than Ulna, though... But I do have Titanium plates and pins in my Femur... so it's like a Femur Ti... I guess that is kinda cool.

Is my Radius here yet? When do I get more hints?
