Official ProVari Radius Thread

[SavePaperVapor]

I'm guessing the good folks at Provape will take the weekend off and mine will ship Monday. The time is near.

Hold a grudge much?
For 1) I clearly said I was interested depending on specs
2) had I won I would have had it sent to Zen to make a point and bought one if I like the specs. -still mulling that part over before yo assume to know what someone you've never taken the time to speak to thinks.
3) congratulations to the winners
4) sorry to poop at your party but I am not going to let someone sit there and make snarky comments based off an incorrect assumption Completely opposite of what was said.

Nice job though irritating potential customers though. Way to support brand!

I realize

Clearly myself and the other person who dared venture in here are not the only ones who get the same vibe from this thread. you all ever stop to wonder why no one outside of your special club sticks around?
How does it not bother you guys when yo see how the general public perceive ya'll?

It's just as unfortunate now as it was when you flew in the thread the other day that you got your wings ruffled. And you got them ruffled, not just by us users who were having fun discussing ways the Radius could be powered, but you also got mad at Provape for joining in. All was intended as amusement, by lots of people, not all of which are exclusive to Provape.

What was your purpose in coming back to get involved now? If I remember correctly, the Colgin post you and Bad Ninja are upset over, never referenced you specifically. Yet you chose to come here and in essence you have pooped on the party.

Why?

This entire thread, almost all 332 pages have been fun and educational for so many. It's brought a lot of new people together who are excited about a new Provari. I've met some terrific new friends here, some who were previous Provari users who are coming back to get a Radius. And some, who have never experienced a Provari, who will be finding out what's so special about them for the first time.

If the device itself isn't to your expectations, that's fine. No one device can or should appeal to everyone.

But I don't think for a moment you have any purpose other than to stir the pot in your post.

If you know a supplier of Poly Tanks... it's 19mm ID x 1" high

Excellent! I wouldn't surprise me if I could take a kayfun lite+ v2 poly tank and shave it down and dremel it to make my own!

(I did this with my KF4 middle tank section)

Thanks!

Stanley. If you try this, please let me know. I'd like to try a Kabuki, but I'd probably spend more on replacement glass than on coils. I haven't found anywhere to buy 19mm I.D. polycarbonate tubing and I don't know the O.D.

Congrats to all the winners, hope you enjoy your new mods in good health

A little social comment here, something @Bad Ninja said struck a nerve. Delineating what is true and what is fanboism can be difficult on ECF in general.

Soon after I posted, and I'm certainly not saying it was directed at me as other "outsiders" had posted as well, there was a comment about people showing up just for the contest. First off, well... yeah, that's the idea of a contest, to draw attention.

But also, you don't know where people are coming from. Yes, I fly the REO and Nicoticket flags in my banner and am a little biased, but this was the first "major" vaping purchase I ever made:

This was the pic I posted in the sale ad in the classies after carrying it daily for almost 2 years. I learned to wrap coils with a DID on it. I know ProVaris quality and just happen to prefer mechs. After I sold it, I have to say I lusted after the unobtainable BAM and Cobalt for quite awhile, thanks a lot @Zen~ , and went on to bottom feeders where my heart lies now.

All this to say, you never know when your poorly stated, rabid love for a device may be driving someone away who might really be interested.

It's been a fun ride here, I've read every post and followed all along. Thanks to those who've made it fun!

All that's left to say, after not winning, is

OK, that's not really the last thing. I've learned some things aboutregulated devices in this thread, also thanks to zen~ ,and have considered getting back in the regulated pool, a Stealth Radius/Kabuki combo might just do it

 

[Vape360]

While your here @Vape360 I'm (not so) patiently waiting for the ghost white, you mentioned you were not quite happy with it yet, couple of questions, will the final version still be translucent, does the whole mod glow from the led button being on, and have you thought about sneaking in a glow in the dark to the finish?

OK technically 3 questions, but I got carried away!

Hi there,

We are waiting for some parts still but it should be slightly translucent and you will see some of the led shine through in the front. I'll have to check it out once the parts arrive and we can chat more soon. Hopefully in a couple of weeks that will be ready

Not sure on the glo, we will have to look into that option.

Haha! I hear ya!

I found this last night:

And this:
Spiral Flute HSS 1/2" Straight Shank Twist Drill Bit 19mm https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G9TXB0C/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_X6ziwbWZ8D66F

And I have extra kayfun poly/acrylic tanks laying around I could use as subjects... I really have plans.

But I'm noticing it might not be as easy as it was with the KF4 replacing the glass beads cause it only needed the thinner inner diameter for a short distance.... But I will say I've dropped the kf4 several times and no issues with my makeshift poly middle section.

The Kabuki at least appears as if the length of the "thin" diameter will need to run further and therefore be weaker... I'll know when I get it in my hand though. I have some digital calipers in the way already as well too. Getting serious about all this! Lol

I'm Having a real bad vape day, can't figure it out, tried making fresh coils, used new pre made coils tried loads of flavours but everything is just not tasting right.

Good thing you didn't win the Radius. It would have gone to waste.

 

[Bronze]

Haters will hate. But over an e-cig? Really?

 

[stevegmu]

It could have been worse; gerbils could have been involved...

Thanks for posting this! One of the things that's really hard about forums, is how we hear the words someone wrote in our heads. Sometimes, we hear things more negatively than the poster intended and it behooves us all to tap our words more carefully. But I agree, we Provarinati can be a bit zealous at times. Just know that our zealous thoughts are derived from the fact our Provari's are so well made and as Apple says, They Just Work! When you put a group of people together, who collectively have had and continue to have a great experience with something like a Provari, you get fans who can be pretty vocal. And you know what? In a thread started by Provape, about Provape, it shouldn't be a surprise. No it certainly should not.

I'll be watching to see when you rejoin the regulated world with a Radius/Kabuki Combo! Yes I will!

 

[Bronze]

MY ENTIRE POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then don't torture yourself. Let it go! That's my point.

 

[WindyCityJoe]

Have a nice night keyboard heros. Thank you though, if I get a mod i'll be sure to go through my b&m to avoid you people like the plague

And hopefully, this means you're finished here now!

 

[Katdarling]

Thank you again Provape!

You took a day that couldn't have started more awful and turned it into a great day for me! My brother is off the critical list and is improving. And then I won the Radius. First time I've ever won something like this!

And Monster Kenny did indeed clear out some mail, so I was able to send him a PM asking for a Cabernet Red.

And to make it even better, I just also ordered a P3 Threaded Kabuki from you. Yes I did.

Maybe you could put the Kabuki and Radius in the same box (though I did pay for shipping on the Kabuki).

Provape and all my friends I've made because of Provape are very special to me. Yes you ALL are!

{{{'Brow}}} That's it. Just hugs. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy for you!

Why would I be explaining this to hour of you can't read what I'm writing and want to play monitor psychologist ? hopefully someone will read this and understand then they can explain it to you.
Again assuming what someone is thinking, rather than reading what is being said. I am truly transparent.
I flew the coup, as you put it, because after talking with someone at Provape I was able to piece together what the specs would be and had no reason to come back since that was the reason I was here in the first place.
I cake back to see the hysteria since I tot wind they started to ship and am still on the fence about getting it, only to see that since I 'flew the coup' a few weeks ago someone else whom was deciding to get a mod being hassled and run off by ya'll.

You all call that funny? making fun of people who vape differently than you? Running people off? how is that different than a 3rd grader making fun of another 3rd grader over their shoes?
Heaven forbid I think acceptance and including is a good idea when you all are the online representatives of Provape. someone googled the mod guides what they see first? A bunch of laughing about a hamster operating any mod above 40w (yeah that's really funny) and your little group of keyboard heros running people you don't agree with off.

@chanara ...... I'd love to reply to you, but your last couple of sentences leave me with the sense that you're not coming back in here.

Will you be back?

Hopefully not. The dude hates ProVape. Always has, always will. His only intent was to come here and spew his hate. Over an e-cig. Reassures me that I have my priorities in order.

 

[stanleybb50]

But no one chased anyone away from this thread that I saw?

I am/was a noob. In doing research about vaping, i found ecf (was still on the stinkies at the time ). I did hours and hours of research, settled on provape/the provari. It was a few months before the p3 release when all this transpired. I wasnt a fan boy nor looking for a "club". I just wanted what i felt was best for me. I lurked for months, absorbi g every little tidbit of info i could. And when i finally purchased a p3 and interacted with eveyone i felt welcomed and like i belonged. Im wholeheartedly grateful for my p3 and the friends ive made along the way. Am i a fanboy, part of a club? Maybe, but i cant think of a better club to belong to. No matter the question, opinion or criticism we support each other from thousands of miles away, far better than my own family or coworkers. If having a supportive group offends you im sorry, otherwise lurk, ask questions and join the family. We're all here for one thing, drop the smokes and spread the word. Love, and bless you all, thank you.

this whole Radius launch was totally fun, thanks again ProVape... and the 3 winners were well deserving

 

[stanleybb50]

Good Lord am I excited to get my Radius...! Hopefully by next Wednesday it'll be brought to me at my desk at work!

I love your excitement Stanley! Yes I do! I'm especially looking forward to next week for all the pictures and comments from all the new Radii Owners! Yes I AM!

 

[stanleybb50]

To think this all started on Monday night with a random thought from me: "hmm wonder if there's any new software updates or anything for the p3"

I posted over in the p3 thread just to see what's new over the last month and @AstroTurf sent me in the right direction!

I thought he was pulling my chain at first! Lolol. Amazing timing and potentially a 6th sense involved??
