My camera is not the greatest, and the color is way off from actual. The midnight blue is really dark. It's a flat dark blue, hubby loves it. The cabernet is more of a flat burgundy. More like Provape's pics. I know sometimes Provape's pics are off in color, but in the case of the Radius they are pretty dang close.

I'm just excited that my vape shop already had them in stock!

Make a closeup of one of those, please.
The surface looks flat in the pics.

Being able to handle updates via USB adds another level of ProVari enjoyment.

It's almost Friday! That means contest time. Sometime after 10am, we will be gathering all the posters names and running the numbers through random.org to select our winners. :thumb:

Stay tuned!
I guess I better kick my insomniac .... to bed so I can get some sleep tonight

i haz a sad. I was looking for spare O-rings and the vendor I bought my Rüzgar from is out of business. I went to the Highwind Innovative Designs fb page and 2 other of their US resellers are out of business. They didn't have many to begin with. A google only shows very few vendors have them and most are on clearance - even in other countries. Highwind hasn't posted on their fb page since March and it appears they may have gone out of business or at least are no longer distributing. They are/were a very small company anyway.

I'm not worried about spare O-rings (I was just too lazy to measure them) and, although fragile, the glass should be okay because of the sleeve (it once fell from the top of my car, landed on the drip tip on the garage floor - hard enough to pop the ProVari cap partially off - and the glass was fine), but the deck insulator and screw have me ticked. Last year sometime I asked them if if a Kayfun insulator would fit, since they look similar, and they said no. They told me to contact the vendor, but I never got around to it. While googling I found a vendor in Canada who has Rüzgar O-rings and replacement screws, but the insulators were listed as discontinued. I imagine the screws aren't proprietary and I'll bet the insulators were sourced from China, but it will be a pain to look for them. I see MacGyvering in my future. Still, I'm sad if they are really gone. They came out with nice looking dripper earlier this year and I hope it wasn't what killed them.
Eech! Could be that there are some spare parts hanging about. I'll have a look.

I've only had this about an hour now. It came with a partial charge, so had to plug it in for a bit. So far, very nice. The hand feel is grippy, so I don't see a need for a sleeve. The color is gorgeous, deep, dark saturation, and flat, not shiny. I have smaller hands (female) and this has a nice fit and feel. Buttons are placed nicely, I can hit the power with index, and up/down with middle finger. I was worried about the weight, but this feels good. The weight is similar to a P3 in 650 mode, but more balanced in the hand. It doesn't feel heavy to me. The menu is similar to the P3 too. I'm playing with colors and the disco option is pretty cool. All 3 buttons light with the color you choose, or flash all colors for disco.

I wasn't sure how I felt about the 3 button feature, but I actually like being able to change wattage without going thru the menu. Vape360 was right..very easy to change the battery when you need to. For now, I'm trying out the USB as advised.

I have more pics, but they are too large so I need to figure out how to downsize them to post. I also bought my first P3 Kabuki, so testing that out at the same time. I have 2.5's and P3's... This Radius is awesome!

That's not a black on the right?

If the blue is that dark, I might need to change my order from the black to the blue! I didn't wanna gamble on how the blue would look in person...
