Official ProVari Radius Thread

You DO realize why YiHi did that, don't you? It was to get around Evolv's patent on temperature limiting. The way it works is exactly the same as setting watts. If you set 30W on an Evolv and fire it for 1 second, you get 30J of energy. The Joules setting only happens in temperature limiting mode, not in standard wattage mode. And, for the record, YiHi are correct - Joules *IS* a more meaningful term when discussing heat energy, so they actually do win.

Same with their Joule counter - MUCH more meaningful than a "puff counter", which tells you nothing but how many times you hit the button. It doesn't tell you how many watts you were using, how much vapor was produced, how many seconds you fired the mod, nothing - useless gimmick (was sad to see ProVape go there). At least the Joule counter has real meaning.

I was laughing that they actually called it Variable Joule. I have made jokes about that term recently.

I would poo...no video, of course!

Pics or it didn't happen? [emoji15]

Fine.....I win, you get a pic. Happy now?

Question for Provape :
Will TC be an upgrade feature once it is to your liking or will it be a completely new chip?
I look forward to your reply.

Hi Jake,

I don't have any details on that at this time, but I'll see if I can get some more info.

Happy Thursday!! This week is flying by.

Looking ahead - Friday will be a break from photos and a fun announcement about the contest that I think you will enjoy.

Tuesday - We will have the website launched and pre-orders start at 10am PST.

Photo Time!

Last photo is of the Ghost White. Made with real ghosts

We found out yesterday that one of our vendors is delayed on getting some of the parts made for this one. Maybe they are having a hard time finding ghosts?
The ghost white won't be ready for a few weeks. For the pre-order, we will have the black, red and blue available and then the white will join the family in the near future.

I see some comments about TC and the big question...Is ProVape ready for TC?

Temp Control/Temp Limiting or as some refer to it as 'temperature guessing', I see a lot of comments on both sides. Please don't do it or I really hope you have it.

What I can say at this time regarding TC is until it's been perfected we won't put it out. I've heard about a lot of negative experiences with TC and many have commented that they are tired of fiddling with it. Sometimes it works, other times it does not and everything in between.

It has not been perfected yet and until it has, we won't put our name on it just to say we have it.
Once we feel it's ready, accurate, hassle-free and a great experience, then it will be the right time.

Ok...yes, it's me again, the constantly confused one. I swear I read prior and even marked my calendar, preorders on Halloween. Now this post says Preorders Tuesday (although didn't say which Tuesday, but I'm assuming this ONE???) which would mean specs/pricing announced hopefully soon!

Unless I'm looking at the wrong year, which I've done before, Halloween is not on a Tuesday this year .Which day is truly the preorder day?

Can I just say "thank you" for being so responsive to all of us here?

So basically, never. Even with very, very expensive test equipment, it's difficult to get accurate resistance readings that far below 1 ohm. Other engineers in our shop who know nothing about vaping are amazed a cheap device is able to get readings to the thousandth of an ohm, which is necessary for temperature calculations. Even the slightest error causes a major difference in actual temperature.

To put it into perspective that anyone with a P3 will understand - IQ. Imagine that, to the extreme, and now you have an idea why people have problems with temperature limiting mods. I don't see that ever going away, but you never know.

@Vape360

How many new features does the new chip have? Other than USB charge/data port....

 

[Kasanova]

So far I'm loving it all. It all comes down to the wattage of the device and how low it can fire. If all checks out well, I will be purchasing the Midnight Blue, only because it matches my car

It looks like the battery is on one side, leading me to think there is a bit more room on the other side, which will contain our Friday surprise. Safe bet it will be one of these options:

• Backup hamster storage
• Roomba interface
• Mind reading circuitry

It is entirely possible it's a combination or all of these features, or none at all and simply bacon storage.

Friday can't come soon enough!

Well if any company can perfect the technology... it's ProVape.

I'll wait for their green light.

Roomba would be a super bonus for me, since I have 2 Huskies. Bacon storage is essential for road trips. I'm in heaven!

I like the bacon storage idea!!!

Yes, I do.

It will be T U E S D A Y. As in this coming T U E S D A Y. As in 5 days hence!

My pleasure. Thank you for being here!

 

[vassilbg]

I wonder if it will be some sort of a e-juice reservoir allowing to refill our tanks or dripper on the go?

 

[redrebel821]

My pleasure. Thank you for being here!

I wouldn't miss this even if I was felled by strep throat...oh,wait....lol...that's why I'm vaping menthol infused juice today!

Well HOT DAYUM!! Thanks! Not sure why,where or how I got Halloween. I guess I wanted something to look forward to other than passing out candy to a bunch of rugrats! Calendar edited!

ETA...anyone know if you preorder when to expect to actually get it?
