Twas a good one, wasn't it, E-naud.
Here ya go. https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/f...in-danger-of-becoming-like-blackberry.595398/
How about we have our Monday update tonight instead?...Monday is looking to be a busy day, so I might not be able to join the ECF until later in the day...
Radius bottom plate:
As part of our continuous improvement plan we have modified the current return flow path design in the Radius. As the power output has gone up and higher currents are needed, a more direct connection was required. The use of an end plate and contact that provides a better high current path to the battery is the reason for this setup and it looks pretty cool too
With this new design, the high current does not flow through the spring but instead through a direct connection to the PCB. Testing shows this to be a significant improvement.
The Radius was designed to be a device you plug-in to USB charge on a daily basis but with a serviceable battery.
There are two thumb screws on the bottom. Simply press down on the bottom, rotate the screws, remove the bottom plate and the battery will slide out. Slide in a new battery, rotate the screws snug and you are done. This whole process takes less than 40 seconds.
I know some of you have had a bad experience with poor quality charging systems and this has caused concern over using built-in chargers. We have also heard stories of some manufacturer’s telling people to only use the USB port for emergencies and not daily use.
The Radius has an excellent built-in charging system with thermal monitoring.
The bottom section of the Radius is a hybrid connection between a captive battery with a solid connection to the battery, but you can also replace the battery easily when it’s end of life. With a captive battery, you have to send the device back to the factory to have a new battery welded or it’s a throw away device once the battery is no longer accepting a charge. We wanted to allow the user to replace the battery without tools or the need to send the device in for service but with a solid and reliable connection.
Thanks Vape360
Any word on how long the 18650 battery takes to fully charge through the USB charger? With a new battery of course.
Siri always interrupts me when I'm talking to myself.
Is the USB water resistant?
Oh, also, as I have an interest in PCBs, what class board does ProVape use?

@Vape360......that is SO KEWL! Yet another reason why my vaping life is by Provape! Thanks for the information. I'm so looking forward to my new Cabernet Red Radius!
Thank you, Vape360.
Brilliant designing.
"The Radius has an excellent built-in charging system with thermal monitoring."
A whole lotta people are going to be a whole lotta happy now!

Again, what's your point? There's no law that says a tool watch can't be worn in non-tool situations. I wear my UTS a lot. I also wear my JeanRichard Aquascope, another of my better ETA powered dive watches, without ever getting it wet.

Thanks for the update
this sounds really great!
Thanks Kat
As I said, some are for fashion, others used for actually diving with. Most fashion watch designers and wearers of them have never set a foot in the ocean...
It just keeps getting better and better! Thanks for the new news!How about we have our Monday update tonight instead?...Monday is looking to be a busy day, so I might not be able to join the ECF until later in the day...

I'm looking forward to the coming bash threads
This device is going to be epic
View attachment 497926
It does seem to be quite a departure for ProVape.
This springless dealy has me intrigued.
ProVape you slyboots you...
So what? I fail to understand why you've now said this three times.
WTH is going on in here! Apple, who cares!!! USB ports, water, bring a zip lock bag with you wherever you go if your that worried. That's what I've always done for my electronics if I know they might get wet. How many watts does this thing push, somebody knows and isn't telling, I want details!!!
Unless you have information about the Radius we don't, what else is there to talk about? We're all just passing time until Vape360 grants us another nibble.
