Hmmm? Lets see ... they're both PVs, they both produce vapor, ... perhaps you're right. :D



Thank you. 45 yrs of smoking and 2+ PDD when I made the switch. I'm pretty pleased to say the least to be coming up on 4 years w/o a smoke.

Congrats!

I think you're on to something here... Check one out at a dealer before you decide for sure. At VaperCon one guy, trying to PROVE the Radius wasn't enough for him took his Atty off his PV, put it on the Radius and fired the button... turning it up as he went... he stopped at 35 watts (or so) and said... "wow.. it's driving it... I'm at FULL POWER on my istick 50"

As they say, YMMV, but in this case... it's actually true.



I have always preferred voltage myself, especially with a device like the ProVari 1-3 where the menu is a lot more complicated than pushing the up and down button, but on the Radius, it's pretty darned simple, and I don't miss voltage at all... took a couple days, however, to be accustomed to it. Then I locked the wattage... then I stopped thinking about it.

Thanks Z, two concerns laid to rest.

I'm waiting to see if I win one. As I said earlier, this isn't a Woodvil sale. The only thing that's one of a kind is the serial number.

ETA: Woodpile? Dang auto-correct. Funny how it turned "Woodvil" into "Woodpile," but didn't change "auot-corrent."

I can handle the smell, to some degree, but if I'm too close my eyes start burning.

    I'd take a provari over the sx mini any day, but I learnt that the hard way, I did buy the sx mini s class, and 3 weeks later it died, juice got inside it and fried the board, and was said my fault as juice got into it, as if no tank ever leaks, so since then, I said I would never spend $200 on a mod again, but I might break that rule for the radius though, as trust it to actually work longer than 3 weeks :)

    I find it amusing some believe they are on par with ProVari concerning quality, when the reality is they aren't even in the same class...

    I like the smell of lit cigarettes...
    I used to! Now, not so much...lol....was at a red light in traffic the other day, and kept looking around for something burning, it was the guy in the car next to me and his smoke was blowing in through my windows.

    You'll spend more money buying batteries for a Provari as they have a tendency to last and last.
