The watts would be a big thing, but also..

Form factor - the radius is quite a bit shorter, think shaving the size of a half a subtank off...

I haven't compared the weight but i am guessing its lighter?

Radius little bit cheaper than p3 plus 18650 cap

The p3 does give you more choices with batteries

The radius can drive a sub ohm coil very well should you ever want to try that

Just some thoughts :) both will make you very happy i am sure! I love all my provaris
Thanks for the precious input.......

@Vape360 tiny thing really... But i found both the 510 ring and the bottom thumb screws to be really really tightened on there initially, i had to use pliers to get them off and was a wee bit scared i would scratch something. I don't know if its possible to have them be a touch easier to get off but just some feedback...

I really love this wee beastie so far though, so please know that it comes from a good place :)

Did you try a coin?

That's what those little indents are for.

Hi Ramesses,

I would recommend the Radius if you like the box style. It's a very nice setup considering you get a battery and charger with the device.

It's great for starters. All you need to add is a tank and some fluid and you have a complete kit. :)

Hope that helps a little and welcome to our family!
Thanks for the precious input

Well keep in mind that most if not all box mod are designed to be fired with the trigger finger so the screen is actually on the right side. Firing with your thumb is actually not a natural action.
I've been using my thumb since the very first cig-alike I ever bought so for me it's the natural way. Saying it's not is silly.

Not going to say your not used to it or comfortable with it but it is a fact that the bodies natural tendency is to grab and hold stable with the thumb and squeeze with fingers. It's the mechanic many products from brake systems on bikes to sprayers and even drawer handles are designed around.

I concur... It's simple ergonomics...

Hold your hand straight in a natural position... Put the radius in your hand with the thumb on the firing button... the Atomizer is pointing away from you. You have to rotate your hand back to get to it to use it...

So... flip the mod around, put your Index (or trigger) finger on the button... The atomizer is pointing straight at you... Ergonomically superior.

Ca is absolutely right... if our hands were designed to use our thumb for actuation, It would have been on the other side! :thumbs:

Suggestion... If a person is dropping their mod a lot... perhaps it's because they are using their thumb for actuation instead of using it for grabbing? A mod being fired by my Thumb just FEELS like I'm going to drop it! It's considerably less stable in my grip.

Maybe it's just me? :cool:

I finally got a KFL+ clone and I love it. Every time I read another post it seems I'm tempted by a Kabuki fan haha. Ever have any juice leaks with it? Is it man pocketable safely?
Zen Tested.

End User Approved.

Pocketable? Steel Tank, Needed/Optional.

Leaks, Not on Mine.

Jim

PS A very good vape!

I've had mine since Monday and I don't think I'll ever be worrying about leaks. The Kabuki comes with really thick O-Rings and it's machined so well, that there's just nothing to worry about it leaking. And yes, I've walked all over the place with it in my pants pocket and no issues whatsoever.
Why Sir Rod...

Is that a Buki in yer pants?!? Or you just happy to see me?

LOLz, Jim

It's that much trouble to take out the battery?
Might get easier with practice? The spinfuel review pointed out that the copper cap is connected with a thin-ish wire that might not like being moved about a lot every day, but who really knows at this point. It's not like its flimsy, but i suspect they might have at least a kernel of a point there.

I did mine tonight just to see, if you are doing it every day probably gets really fast... I would just try it and make your own judgement about the copper cap wire thing for now.

I'm a lefty. Been using index finger left or right.

Funnily, I've trained myself to read righty screens, so if I switch to lefty it feels weird, kinda like scissors. Lefties will know what I mean. ;)
You should never run with scissors while trying to read the screen upside down...

LOLz, Jim
