Official ProVari Radius Thread

Thanks...I agree, if a bit reluctantly. I really didn't want my buddy to fiddle with the Radii since he's not a vaper but I guess this is the safest course of action.

Have him watch the video first...

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.

Big Thumbs uP!!!

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

I went with UPS, so fingers crossed. At least I don't have to wait to be red-carded. There's nothing worse than knowing something you're looking forward to is sat a couple of miles up the road and there's nothing you can do about it.

 

[AstroTurf]

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

Yes...

 

[k2zs]

Well, if you have something that's working for you... why change?

Change should be reserved for problem solving. If you don't have a problem, there's no need to seek a solution!

There IS truth to what you say but....

I was happy with my Kayfuns and had no issues there. It took 3 visits to The vape shop and them telling me I should at least try the Kabuki before I actually did. All my Kayfuns are now boxed up and I have a herd of Kabuki's in service. Sometimes, change is good...

 

[Vicshalls]

The Kabuki is designed to maximize wicking, and control the air to create as little turbulence as possible. This results in more complete atomization, which in turn results in more concentrated flavor.



I hear the Kayfun is quite good at being a Kayfun, so that solution already exists. The Kabuki is kind of the "anti" Kayfun if you think about it.



lol... he lowered the price from 10 bucks!



If somebody designs a rebuildable head for the Nautilus, it would work in the kabuki. But my design goal is to make rebuilding obsolete. Believe it or not, at one time, the edison light bulb was rebuildable. My goal is to make vaping simpler with less of a learning curve. I want people to be able to vape more easily without having to learn new skills. At one time, High Fidelity sound systems were ONLY attainable by the mavens that could put components together and tinker, over time it became plug and play, and more people were able to enjoy great music in their homes. Now there are a small group of audiophiles left in pockets of the world, but EVERYBODY has great access to very high quality music!

Vaping will head down this same path as it becomes easier and easier to vape. The most recent generation of vapers walked into the rebuildable era and they feel it's the only way to get a great vape. I hope to be a part of the innovators that take it to the next logical level, where new vapers can come in, and never learn to rebuild.



Look at it from this point of view... Let's say you have a build that you always use on a HoBo dripper... it's great and satisfies you... but then you do the exact same build in a Veritas or a marquis... it will taste entirely different! The build being identical has a WIDe range of possibilities based on what else is happening in the atomizer.

Try to think of the Nautilus coil as a "build"... If you move that build to another tank design that alters the way air and juice enter it, then it will taste entirely different.

I did a LOT of research as to which design features had what effect on flavor, vapor, wicking and density. Countless hours of double blind testing goes into one of my tank designs, and when I get a good handle on which parameters are making the changes that are observed, I start finalizing them into something more finished... then I keep testing.

It cannot be all things for all people, I selected the features that would be MOST likely to produce great flavor and be easy to use for the widest range of people, all with the goal of making the best FLAVOR producing atty I possible could. YES I could give you a larger tank... Wicking would suffer, flavor will go away. YES I could give it more air... Wicking will suffer, flavor will go away.

I created a tank using a relatively generic coil head that people are RAVING about... Simply by ignoring what people were asking for and figuring out what would give the best result for the widest range of people.

Henry Ford is credited with saying that if had asked his earliest customers what they needed, the answer would have been "Faster Horses". He gave them something better... the automobile.

Ignoring customers NEEDS is never a good idea... But knowing what they need vs. what they think they need, is the difference between innovation and pandering.

wow amazing answers. Thank you sir for that. Like I said I did plan on getting her one and maybe I might just get myself one as well. I appreciate you taking the time to explain that. I was really not expecting and answer from you, but I am glad I got it. This just confirms that fact that my wife not only needs this she deserves it as well.

Handcheck. Just arrived

That is awesome. I was wondering what my squape would look like on it and now I know. Such beauty in one hand.

 

[papler]

On FedEx vehicle for delivery

COME ON ALREADY!

but my Kabukis are stuck in customs because someone is either playing smarty pants or slowpoke. arrived on tuesday and not moving since

 

[Lemwise]

I'm still not sure if I'm going to buy the Radius. The one thing that really puts me off is where the screen is located. If it was located on the right side I would already have hit the order button.

 

[FringeChief68]

Morning Everyone

 

[serenity21899]

The Mets win the Pennant!!!!!

Thank you for letting me share, for the record, I was Vaping with my Radius when it happened [emoji41]

Guys and Gals........I got a PM from HB in the middle of the night. Very Sad News. His father didn't make it.

I don't know his father, but I do know HB and I know how much he loved his dad, so I know this has to be really hard for him and his family.

I'm sure everyone will include him and his family in their thoughts and prayers.........

Oh no!
{{{{{{{{{{ HB }}}}}}}}} my deepest, most sincere, sympathies.

I am so sorry for your loss. This is hell for you. My prayers go out to you and your family during this very difficult time.

 

[serenity21899]

Because it could be the best thing since the light bulb and I'd be missing out....
Kinda funny, I've got two light bulbs sitting on my desk at this moment. They blew out and I need to find replacements for them. One has been discontinued and Home Depot doesn't carry them anymore. Too bad I can't rebuild them.

Try Batteries Plus. They sell light bulbs, too.
