Official ProVari Radius Thread

[Kasanova]

OK, besides for SeniorBoy, has anyone else ran their battery dry and checked it with a volt meter or checked it on their battery charger display?

I would like some Wall USB charger suggestions. The Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 looks interesting.

Stanley, what you're describing about all of the sudden your Radius is scrolling through the menu, has happened to me on my P3. And I figgere'd out why. If I don't push the button in fully, from the center of the button (what I mean is if I push it a bit lightly and off center), I have on occasion gotten into the menu system. I no longer have this happen as I've just mentally changed my position and I engage the fire button firmly and from the center. I hope that makes sense, but I'm thinking this is what you may have experienced.

This is very possible. Very. Esp with the larger button. It's likely easier to be off center.

So -- the ONLY negatives that I can come up with are the following:

- I'm right handed, so when I go to lay my mod down on a hard surface after taking a vape/etc, it's natural to want to lay it down on the side that has the little "rounded bulge" where the screen is. Which would seemingly make that part of it (and the screen) more likely to get scratches? (There's not a scratch on the Radius yet though - btw). This also makes it a tad wobbly and slippery when layed on that side as well. (VERY SMALL complaint - yes!)

- @Vape360 - It's happened to me a few times now where I take a few pulls in a row and all the sudden notice my draw went cold, and I look down and see the screen scrolling through the (regular) menu -- not an error screen or anything. I'm sure I haven't changed the way I vape from the P3 or the 2.5 I have, and this has never happened to me in the past. And after experimenting with button taps, you can tap 4 times or whatever surprisingly slowly to get into the menu system. If anyone else has a Radius wants to try, I'd be curious to hear their thoughts as well. It might just be something that might only happen to me, but maybe others as well? I'm not sure how i'm doing it when vaping, but apparently I am... haha. Either way -- the BEAUTY is that the Radius is now able to be updated at home on a PC!!!!! Again, honestly I have no explanation for how or why it's happening... Maybe it is an error message and I don't notice the message until it got back to the normal menu system? And its only happened a few times.

Also @Vape360 - is it safe to use a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 (24 watt) charger to charge the p3? I don't want to fry anything!!!

On another note -- I've been vaping since yesterday afternoon on this charge, and its still showing probably around 60% or so battery left. Good stuff!

***For the record -- I have 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 extremely positive things to say about the Radius. Those two items above are my ONLY even slight complaints!

For what it's worth, I fire with my right index finger which negates the problem you mentioned...you might try it. I am using an iPhone charger which seems to work OK...I imagine as long as you don't charge above 1 amp things will be OK.

I just got shipping confirmation! The Cabernet Reds are off the assembly line and heading out the door!

Can anyone else replicate this? Not sure I can handle a janky button.

 

[Siam Diesel]

Just received a shipping confirmation as well...1 of each color in the order!! Should arrive over here with my buddy on Halloween.

I went with the above, it seems to be well reviewed and it feels like a well made product.

In other exiting news my Midnight Blue just shipped, I wonder how long it'll take to reach the UK, It'd be nice to get it by the weekend but I'm probably being over optimistic.

 

[rbrylawski]

Thanks for that shot, really shows the color. But, jeez, I just don't know. I ordered the Cabernet Red because one of Provape's official pics really made it look like a brown-red which I liked, but it is really looking like a more vibrant red than I thought. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

I know I can't change my order at this point, even though it hasn't shipped, but at least I can take some comfort in knowing that if I don't like it Provape has a pretty decent return policy from my understanding.

The Midnight Blue is whispering to me at night...

Trust me, it is NOT vibrant red. Not at all. No it's not! You're going to much happier when you open the box and see it for the first time. Provape had professional photography. My pics are from an iPhone.

Hello Everyone
Working 12.hour nights here, so I'm missing everything

 

[rbrylawski]

On another great note! My cupholder from JWraps shipped. I should have it by Thursday. As soon as I get it, I'll take pics and post them.

Here's what it will look like:

I don't know what Janky is, but trust me, whatever it is, the Radius button is fine. It's got a very nice solid feel. Actually better than the smaller button on my P3.

Just received tracking number

EXACTLY! I call this my wrap fire. My paws are wrapped all the way around the device. No need to worry about accidently pressing the power buttons since those sit significantly below the fire button which appears NOT to be location/press sensitive with a relatively short throw. Not to mention you have a far firmer "grip" on the device. Great engineering. Think index finger /lol

Though I'm left handed, I usually stand mine up so I don't have the same problem you do. Seems if you turn your hand the other way and then lay it down it will be on the flat side.

So -- the ONLY negatives that I can come up with are the following:

- I'm right handed, so when I go to lay my mod down on a hard surface after taking a vape/etc, it's natural to want to lay it down on the side that has the little "rounded bulge" where the screen is.

I just got an email back from Tim of Serenity Gear. He wants to make leather sleeves for the Radius but will be a few months before he can buy one to use as a template.

I think this may have something to do with the menu display time...longer display time=more time to input button presses. I tend to take a couple of 'puffs' each vape, if the display time is too long, the chip will sense the second puff as an input (hope this makes sense). Could be wrong in my thinking.
