So, I got home and tore into two boxes.
The Radius is a Pravari through and through. I too couldn't figger out how to remove the stupid plastic tag that simply says Pull on it. I also had to loosen the battery bottom, then pull. OK, my dumb moment for the day. Then I pulled the little USB cover off, too fast, and the teeny tiny little sucker went somewhere. I thought it landed on the floor, so for about ten minutes I looked like a mentally challenged person rubbing my hands all over the kitchen floor and the rug runner on top of the wood floor. I found it. And where was it? On the kitchen counter, which is granite with lot's of black in it. A teeny tiny little USB cover on granite with lot's of black makes the teeny tiny USB cover go back in the box for safe keeping or it will soon be forever lost.
Next up was the Kabuki. It has a truly solid and perfectly finished look. I cleaned it carefully and guessed at the air hole hex screw as to what would likely work best for me. Dried it carefully, primed the 1.6 ohm BVC it came with, used a wee bit of juice on the O-Ring (I had read that doing so makes it much easier to close her up after filling her with juice), then closed her up and put her on the Radius.
Dinner was ready, so I just left her charging (an Apple Brick works great for wall charging, BTW), set the watts to my usual 10 watts, then we ate dinner (steamed squash and zuchini and chicken wings - Yummm).
I'm finally vaping on it. My first imressions are WOW on all fronts. It's a Provari through and through. It feels solid in my hands and the button works, well, just like a Provari should. The menu for anyone who owns a P3 is very similar, but simpler, so I don't even think I'll need to read the on-line manual.
And the Kabuki looks FANTASTIC on top. And the Kabuki vapes GREAT. Better than I imagined, to be honest. I started at 10 watts, but have pushed it all the way up to 11 watts and it's producing great tasting vapor and a lot of it too! Zen, you did a great job with the Kabuki. I was hoping to be able to use some of my own drip tips, but couldn't get any of them to fit, so the Delrin tip supplied with the Kabuki is it and that's OK. It works just fine. But I'm counting on you to find and make available Cabernet Red O-Rings and Drip Tips. OK?
This is my first ever box mod. I must admit I like the form factor. It's shorter than a P3 in 18490 mode, and fits my hand really nicely. Whether I'll ever use watts above 11 remains to be seen, but that wasn't my reason for getting it to begin with.
@Vape360 and
@Monster Kenny, I can't thank you all enough for giving me the Radius. You've got an amazing WINNER on your hands and I hope you sell bazillions of them.
And now the requisite pictures (which I'll upload from Tapatalk) in a moment!
