I use the smallest hole in the AFC. This is preliminary so please bare the following in mind. It's set to 30 watts and vapes the same as it does with my two Evolv/DNA40 devices with the same settings. I've consumed about 4 ML during this field test with my Crowns. HOWEVER, where it gets interesting is performing tests with the R to see if I can lower the watts and achieve the same flavor sweet spot. Thus conserving power used by the cell.

Yes, we know you can loosen the screws in the base and pull the plastic tab out BUT that's NOT the issue. If it says pull me with no other guidance then THAT is the issue. And I guarantee you I pulled like a mad man. On some other devices the same kind of plastic tab is used but those were always easy to pull out. I'm not inferring that it's the end of the world. Only trying to help the Mothership and others who have read our tales and will probably try pulling first and then tell us what their experiences are.

I'm going to run the cell down till it stops firing and then measure the voltage. My guess is around 3.2 or 3.3 and then the traffic light comes on. /lol
Yes, please keep us posted on the battery cut off. That is my main concern. I like to run my batteries dry :)

I can't say I'm able to bench press 5 pounds so I know I didn't pull that hard but I did pull harder than I thought I should. I kept thinking of those tags on clothes - if they are pulled too hard they might tear the fabric.
Trust me, I may not be able to bench press 500 pounds, but I'm not a weakling either. I pulled so hard on that tab and was worried the Radius would fly out of my hand across the room. The tab on my Radius was by no means easy to pull out.



It is extremely sharp looking. Oh yes it is!!

It is too bad you can't take one for a test drive. The more I vape on the Kabuki, the more I like it. It's not just new shiny love, this thing vapes amazingly great. Much better than any Kanger/Nauty tank I've ever tried and I may regret saying this, but it's on par with both of my KFL+ and Russian 91%. It really is. It is exactly what I was hoping. A well made tank, machined perfectly, made out of all 316L Stainless Steel, that produces great vapor, that tastes great and is 'uber' simple to use. I think the Kabuki is a winner. If it continues going this well for me, I'll likely add more of them.



It's not as red as it seems. It really is more of a burgundy color. Here's a picture I took without any bright lighting. I think it's more representative of the color. I'm really happy with the Cabernet Red color personally.

Crappy cell pics in my car.... But hopefully you all like! .

Obviously a p3 on left, Radius, rDNA 40, then a DNA 30 for size comparison. Also note that in the pics the p3 had the 510 ring removed.

Yeah!!! The shrew! The shrew! Now I understand what it is!

ETA: The way they put the image together was evil. I'm sure they had lots of laughs as we tried to figure it out. Pure evil.

But tomorrow is a new day
So hopefully, your Radius is on it's way
But if it's not, never fear
It's gonna show up sometime this year
Just have seat, and take a puff
Be content, with your current stuff!
Cuz you never know, what tomorrow brings
Or how much the unexpected stings...
But that's ok, because for now
You know you're satisfied anyhow.
You should relax, and don't be sorry
To vape away, on your Provari.
If you don't already own one, that's ok...
I'll take a puff for you, any day!
I've got my Betas, and they're quite fine.
They're my all day vape, any time.
Now my rhymes are getting old,
And I didn't know Tenn. would be so cold.
So this is it, I'm off to bed.
Don't know how much of this you have read.

Do you sleep??? :blink:

Very little... 4-5 hours per night. maximum. I got into that cycle really early in life, For a while I was working a full time job, carrying a full college class load AND playing in a band. Once you get into that swing, more sleep just messes me up. Also, While everybody else is sleeping is when I can follow ideas without interruption. During waking hours I get interrupted once every ten minutes or so... One day at work I asked Stacie to time the intervals between interruptions, and on that day, the LONGEST interval was a little over 11 minutes, but most were in the 8-9 minute range. I was contemplating getting a more private work space, which I eventually did... and I never went there. It turns out that I'm an action junkie,too, and I was miserable in isolation. So all day long I interact, and all night long I think and plan, and yep, I self-interrupt with the forums!

You just got a new customer Zen, wish I ordered the Kabuki with my Radius, but that's ok. Do you Vape with the 1.6 or 1.8 coils?

Thanks so much... honestly, I use both coils, and don't really think much about the difference. As much as I know the numbers, I don't actually vape by the numbers... I set my power for taste. I get a great vape with both coils. I'm not so rigid as to care about which one, they both satisfy!

Yep. Your way sounds like the way mine came out first (and easier) BUT then I decided that I couldn't be an "Elitist" unless I took the base all apart and gave it my fully charged 25R. That plastic tab thing sits between the spring and brass thingy with the wire and prevents it from accidently firing. Could be a candidate for a FAQ. Given the force/pressure on the spring, I seriously doubt anyone could pull it out. On the other hand, like you say, loosen screws and pull.

:)

My Tabs pulled right out, there was SOME resistance, but not too much.

Got mine, not your average vape guy I guess. Been on the battery for 12 years plus. Went from pure smoker ( only mod at the time) , silver bullet to the first pro vari, then the second edition. Someone talked me into an Eleaf because of the battery life. After that POS kept auto firing I said never another mode that's not a Pro Vape. Funny I been on cinnamon red hot exclusively for at least 3 years (can't mess up cinnamon). I feel the Pro Vape quality again.


WOW... 12 years! The first E-cigs for sale were introduced to the Chinese market in LATE 2004, but it wasn't until late 2005 that Ruyan started exporting them to the USA. PureSMoker Super Mini and Pen style were a bit later, in mid 2008.

I'm sure it seems like 12 years, though, cuz I can barely remember smoking and I just celebrated my 6 year Vape-Versary in August.

In reality, it doesn't matter how long any of has been vaping... it matters THAT we're vaping. And Congratulations on that new Radius! I'm vaping a Cabernet Red right this very minute... you're a man of good taste!

Does anyone make replacement glass for kabuki? Preferably black?

I've never seen Black glass for it, But Spectrum, Bedazzled and Phiniac all have glass, plus any of my retailers.

Do you mean the design gallery? The black portion is the etched part. It can be tinted with some kind of glass paint to several colors. The white portion is clear glass. If I'm off track, just disregard....

I can't tell is Phiniac has black glass or just black frosted designs on clear glass (check the gallery page):

But you CAN....

Walk right on into you local Brick and Mortar and ask them to get them in stock! Both ProVape AND HoH will sell to any legitimate Vape Shop on the planet, and we need people to ask their local dealers to carry this stuff. Those dealers will never carry it, if you don't ask.

Don't say "Do you carry these"... say... "If you carry these I'll probably be a customer"

Vape shops like money.

You're right, I got confused what page I was looking at. I was thinking the white etching might be on black glass, but it looks like maybe it's clear glass etched entirely in black.

I know it's not a Radius, or a shipping notice for one, but I *did* get a delivery today. A new iPhone 6s+ (Coming form an iPhone 4 is quite a jump!). And, believe it or not, my cell bill actually went down almost $20 bucks a month too~!

Off topic I know, but I have no one else to tell, and I am sorta excited for the change (huge screen)

Wait til your second tank after the coil breaks in a bit, I think it gets even better :)

Didn't you know? Genius doesn't need sleep. I remember reading that Thomas Edison didn't sleep much either.

I believe that not sleeping much is more a sign of getting old, rather than a sign of genius - hehe

I think I am getting no condensation on my P3 Kabuki on the Radius compared to the P3 Ti. Hooray! Maybe I haven't vaped enough.
I would think that the heat in that area would be close to that of the P3, but perhaps the larger top plate helps dissipate the heat?

Not to get off topic but.. Do any of you use a powered USB hub to charge their devices?

I have a multi USB power block that I use when I travel, but I've had very little luck with one of those data hubs.

I know it's not a Radius, or a shipping notice for one, but I *did* get a delivery today. A new iPhone 6s+ (Coming form an iPhone 4 is quite a jump!). And, believe it or not, my cell bill actually went down almost $20 bucks a month too~!

Congratulations, We elitists love sharing ALL of our tech purchases with each other! You'll love the new phone.

Well that too... but I've never slept much, therefore, I've always been old... (see what I did there... using a spurious relationship to prove a non-truth. Many high power vapers do this regularaly)

I think I am getting no condensation on my P3 Kabuki on the Radius compared to the P3 Ti. Hooray! Maybe I haven't vaped enough.

Well, the Condensation is supposed to go down into the connector area, That's how I designed the tank, and the reason the P3 is the BEST Kabuki version, so, it WILL happen!

I would think that the heat in that area would be close to that of the P3, but perhaps the larger top plate helps dissipate the heat?

It's coming...

I tried the clone vape sox I got from Gearbest and it's too small. I'm hoping Serenity Gear will be coming out with something.

I want a leather cover with a lanyard attachment, so I can hang it round my neck while I am mowing, etc...
