We don't know it's a step backward at all. It's all speculation. There are devices around with usb ports that are still water proof/resistant.

Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping

They all have flaps with a rubber grommet sealing the port also...

This is why I am so interested in the Radius. Years old and never an issue and still a very good vape.

I like that setup. It was my all day carry with a metal tank/shield, before the Ti Mini was put into service.

How come they make a round thing that's not called a radius but they make a not round thing and call it the radius?

What *I* want to know is; why do we drive on a 'parkway', and park in a 'driveway'?

YiHi's SXmini has had a lot of reported issues with the USB port as well, on both S-class and M-class. I've owned both, and never had an issue, and always use the USB port to charge. One key is that I'm careful with my personal electronics. Another key is I use the cable that came with the mod. Not all cables fit the same way, and a little more stress on the connection from a slightly larger plug, or inserting it at an angle instead of straight in, could lead to what we call "cold solder joints" - basically broken contacts. They're usually easily fixed, if you know how to solder. It'll be interesting to see how accessible the USB port is on the Radius. That side panel looks like it's removable.

I never charge my SXmini through the USB port. I prefer changing batteries. I don't think I will make an exception with the Radius either. USB ports in general are susceptible to getting screwed up from dust or accidental liquid leakage. I do trust Provape but why take an unnecessary risk? Being in Egypt it would cost me an arm and a leg to ship my Provari back to the US and then risk the stupidity of our Customs Authority on its way back!

Because we have to do it the opposite from the British...which is why we drive on the wrong side of the road. It's a rebel thang.

Would you then epoxy fill the USB?

Sounds interesting.

I see that @Vape360 is ignoring my request that he be the one to choose which color Radius I am going to buy?

Also, that he has chosen to remain quiet about the purpose of the knobs on the bottom of the Radius are for?

He has also failed to tell us if the free hamster we each get will be a male, female, or infant; As well as informing us whether or not said hamster will also be covered under the usual great ProVape Warranty, or not?

What I want to know is where they find only ticklish hamsters, some genetic engineering going on perhaps?

My luck I get the one hamster that isn't ticklish, I twist the knobs to tickle it and he just flips me the cutest bird you've ever seen and goes on about his business.

I got to see a Radius at Vapercon today. Actually two, a black one and a white one. I really like my 2.5s, but I just might buy one of these at some point. It’s a sexy little beast. It probably won’t be liked by really high wattage vapers and those that use more than one 18650 battery per day, but for me it would work great.

Ummm...no..not really..I just ignore it and it disappears. Seriously I have forgotten that the SXmini has a charging port. When John made his comment about it I had to look at the mod to make sure it has a USB port..LOL
