Official ProVari Radius Thread

I would trust my friend to unscrew 2 screws than customs getting there hands on it and not getting it at all [emoji6]

Email him the manual...

Good idea...ordering a battery case as we speak to send to him. Thanks a lot!!

I loved the Sophia-but never got the life of the coil that you are. It was getting very expensive to order the coils from Greece. I still use it but not as much as before, mostly at home. Most times I left the house with only the Sophia--something went wrong and I was stuck without anything. It did not travel well either.

The Kayfun and I did not get along well either. I started with the 4 and--I am just not good at building.

I found I was using the nautilus more and more because of convenience and a fair amount of consistency.

The Kabuki for me is the answer to all my problems. It blows the Nautilus out of the water with vapor and flavor. It is easy to use and perfect to take out and about. I do now take a bottle of juice with me and an extra battery for the Provari. When the Radius arrives--I won't even need the extra battery.

I haven't traveled with it yet---but I think it will totally reduce all the 'stuff' I had to take with me.

I would say the Kabuki--beats the Sophia a bit with flavor and vapor too and is a lot more convenient for me to use.

Oh gosh, now I'm going to have to get one. I use mostly light colored juices so maybe that helps from gunking up the coil. I admit I use a butane torch to burn my coils while the ceramic cup is in the base. It's not good for the blue insulator but easier than taking the thing apart. I bought an iStick and used it with my Sophia on vacation. I bought a Nautilus Mini with me that I bought for a friend just in case. Fortunately I didn't have any problems. I like the idea of using an atomizer with a P3 connection on my new Radius too.

Since I'm placing an order, what battery do I buy for the Radius? Might as well pick up another one just in case.

They ship with a Samsung 25r (the green one, I believe). That's the one to get.

Thank goodness for Amazon...battery case will arrive at my buddy's house next Monday!
Radii will be here on the 31st!

Thanks!! Ordered one to go along with the Kabuki.

So after finding out that I had almost 1500 points racked up in my ProVape account I reordered the black Radius and got it for a steal...$127.95! Thanks ProVape for the wonderful point system, that was a total surprise that I wasn't aware I even had.

So, out of curiosity, pulled the battery on my Radius just see what that would be like.

Not horribly bad, but I would not want to do that on a regular basis FYI.

Well unless you have more than one device, you might have too! I'm only a one device guy, I can't afford to have multiple devices and past ProVari's aren't powerful for me anymore since I sub-ohm so I sold my previous ProVari and I don't do China mods. The battery plate is a bit of a ..... to remove but becomes easier once you get use to it. I need batteries that are always charged so I can take one out and pop a new one in.

 

[jwbnyc]

Just posting it as an FYI for those people who are interested in the Radius but not interested in having a thing with pulling the battery on a regular basis and it is definitely a thing to pull the battery out of the Radius.

Personally, I'd be looking elsewhere if I was needing to do that.

Given a choice, In-device USB charging is the way to go with this ProVari imo.

 

[Drewps5co0tt]

Yea I admit, it's not the easiest to remove it, no argument there.

 

[jwbnyc]

Btw, on my second day with the same charge up and not even down to Three quarters on the battery meter yet.

I'm not using it all day but vaping on it a fair amount at home.

I'm expecting 4-6 days on a charge at this rate.

 

[gnees]

Please forgive me for not searching the Kabuki thread, but how long are the coils lasting for people?

I have one that's been in for 5 weeks. I swear it still vapes and taste's great. Using clear menthol juice.

So what does everyone who has a Radius think of the plastic? Is it a very high quality plastic or what?

I think this is the main reason I haven't bought one aside from price point. It's excellent for people that want to just plug in their mod, but the interchangeable batteries were a big selling point for me back when I bought my 2.5

Seeing as the way they made the Radius it's somewhat intended to be for on board charging, I am not sure if I will pick one up. Hard to resist though, they look rather spiffy.

It's solid and tough, and looks great!
It's kind of interesting, but I like that the device isn't "cold" when I pick it up, and another user of the Radius made the same comment to me, in a colder environment it's actually nice to not be carrying a metal object all the time. Generically, we think of Plastic as looking cheap, and flimsy. Provape took a fairly big risk on using polycarbonate, some people have been reluctant because it's plastic... but honestly I think in the long run, they've opened a new chapter in PV design, and to me, it looks and feels really sold.

I have been carrying mine in my pocket with my cell phone and a knife at work. For the past two days, and I have no scraps or scratches on it. Seems high quality and very hard. Ask me in a month and I'll take a picture of my pocket abuse for you.

I live in a house with rubbish central heating and aluminium mods are uncomfortable to use in the winter, you always end with condensation on them until they warm up. I'm expecting the Radius to be super comfortable.
Luckily I won't have long to go until I find out, I've just woken up to find my Radius is out for delivery Two days from the US to the UK and it looks like I might have dodged the customs bullet

 

[AstroTurf]

No, it's not berry'ish at all. It's a nice Cabernet'ish Burgundy Wine'ish color.

And his fellow employees wonder why Sir Rod can't answer the phone...

Too Funny!

I really hope you have - I've always had a customs bill from provape purchases. Fed Ex tend to lull you into a false sense of security by delivering and then sending their customs/ handling charge a couple of weeks later
