Don't you have distance seller regulations in the states? In the UK as long as you haven't used it your free to return any online purchases for a refund or swap within 7-14 days (something like that)
It's $200 if you get it and love it awesome, if you prefer black do a switch, not like your being fussy the first exchange was due to a dud.

I'm in the same boat, I know I will love the black but want to be a bit daring with white, might just buy both and send back the "loser" lol
Like someone said - might be a 7 day return policy if I don't use/pull that tab, but I don't know if I have it in me to do that even if I don't like it - haha. I'm a wuss and just never like to inconvenience anyone.. But you are exactly right!

Hmmm... Perhaps you took my post as a dig but in fact it was meant as praise of the Kabuki and how it's simplified my vaping life. I am so happy with the consistent good flavor, form, and function that it's really become the only device that I use now....

No offense was taken! I didn't see it as a dig, other than I know how much you dig HoH stuff! (see back in the 60's, when ya digged it, it was a good thing... right?)

When I walk by a charging Radius I have no indication of a charge and its' status like most box mods have. I suggest a Red fire button for charging and a Green fire button for completed.
:)

BRILLIANT!

A respectful suggestion for the next firmware upgrade:

The Radius is primarily designed to charge the internal cell without the need to remove and swap the cell. I believe I've heard words to this affect direct from the Mothership in this thread.

When I walk by a charging Radius I have no indication of a charge and its' status like most box mods have. I suggest a Red fire button for charging and a Green fire button for completed.

PLEASE
:)

Thank you for your consideration.
Or just an intermittent led flash in either red or green. Just a quick flash once every 10 seconds like our phones for notifications.

I'm sure as I get older...

I will prolly answer, and/or talk into my Provari Radius.

And wonder why I can't hear the calling party?!?

LOLz, Jim

Maybe that twisted 420 dude could just replace him?!?

LOLz, Jim

really, the Provari doesn't need any of them ... the devices sell themselves.

PB is just another vaper who quit smoking with a Provari and is now going the hobby route :cool:

Good Suggestions!

Me too likes this idea. Who else? Maybe if enough of us ask - it will happen.

It was my only very-very minor-minor disappointment - no indication when it' done charging. I don't even care if there's an external indicator for charging - just when it's done. Maybe it could even play a little tune like our oven when it reaches temp.

I wouldn't say hobby route or shinyitis, necessarily. I think he's just become totally enamored with TC, and it kind if has his full attention. And being that Evolv is kind of the standard-bearer for the technology as it stands right now, it kind of comes off as a bit of fanboyism on his part, even with the data to back up the drooling.

Regardless, I'll always put his reviews way at the top of the list ahead of anyone else. Unlike a big chunk of "reviewers" on YouTube, he's grindingly thorough. He takes the time to truly put a device through its paces and get as much data as possible. He doesn't just yank it out of the package, use it for a couple of days at most, then jump on camera and blow a few clouds for the fans.

Thank you for your consideration.

Currently when it's charging you have the battery icon indicate it's charging. I would think having the LED on all the time would be an annoyance for some since they charge at night?

If you tie it to the LED on/off, then you would have to turn this off every time, if you don't want it.

Adding another menu option for charging led is a option, but it makes the menu more cluttered unless you feel that would be OK.

I can certainly pass along your suggestions.

I didn't even rinse mine out. I am still h.......... *thud*
ere.

Hmmmm, maybe that's the issue, cuz I did wash mine!


Thanks and congrats. It looks simply fabulous! Enjoy!

Sheesh - that is gorgeous !!

Thanks, I really really really like the Cabernet Red color!


Looks Great! Glad to see another Cabernet Red in use out there!

IMO, someone or something has influenced him :blink:

Isn't this his primary source of income? His allegiance wouldn't possibly be $$$ driven now, would it???

My Cabernet arrived!! And I'm..... not sure.

First the pros:
The shape of this device is absolutely perfect. The rounded sides lets this baby slide into your hand like it was born there. I've never held a more comfortable mod.

It has "heft." It looks and feels more solid than my aluminum VaporShark, and the polycarbonate is very well done. It is neither warm nor cold to the touch and has a very solid look to it. It is by no means "plastic" in the way we normally associate quality with plastic. It looks like every damn penny of $200. The brushed steel end plates are beautifully finished with clear and deeply etched lettering.

The Radius will carry on the Provari name with grace and style.

Now for the bad:
The color.
I'm not sure I like the red. To my eyes it seems to have a purple tinge to it. No, it is not purple, but on my monitor I thought it leaned more to the brownish end of red, almost like an old time football skin.

For now the Radius sits in its box untouched as I stare at, trying to decide if its a keeper. I'm not sure it is. I will own this mod, but maybe another color would be better for me. With any luck someone will post some real world pics of the Midnight Blue, but I'm thinking maybe Black would better suit my tastes.

If I don't pull the plastic and power this sucker up, I'm hoping I can exchange it without a problem. Because even if this does go back, the device itself is spectacular and I will want another.

:unsure:

I think you have him confused with another, less reputable reviewer. He's made numerous references to being banned from vaping at his desk or in his office, and having to take a redeye flight back from a vape meet and head straight to work from the airport. He has a day job, vape reviews are just a hobby. I'm sure his channel is monetized--isn't everybody's at this point? But vape reviews aren't his livelihood.
