And whoever it was that mentioned the Nintendo thing.... I was born at the end of '81 and was of course huge into Nintendo! Maybe there is a correlation on those who like to use the thumb to fire and growing up in the video game Era..?

The thumb feels SO much more natural to me.

Beautiful color, somehow so ... noble. "I am not like those blues out there, and I am not black. Grey?? ridiculous.
I am what I am and that is: unique" is what it says. Very nice!

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

I too am in agreement with both of you. This is the very reason I liked using the P3 in 18650 mode. The rest of my hand had something to hold onto, and my thumb could naturally fall on the fire button. In 18490 or 18350 modes, I fired it with my index finger.

This is one area the SXmini excels - the fire button is curved from the face to the top and can fire in any position. Likewise, the Reo mods that have the fire button on top are much more comfortable to hold.

I haven't held a Radius yet, but have given thought to how I would fire it, since it's so short, and figure I'll use my index finger most of the time.

Maybe it's just me? :cool:

Nope, definitely not just you.

So... since More people prefer the thumb because of muscle memory obtained during a mis-spent youth, it has now become abundantly clear that ProVape did indeed make an error in the design of the Radius... The button belongs on the top so thumb firing can be executed in the correct ergonomic fashion. On the top, trigger people can use it, and thumb people can use it, with equally correct positioning.

That's it... I'm going to have a fire sale on ALL my ProVariusses because I can no longer support the efforts of a company that could make such an egregious error in design. Is anybody willing to trade me my 86 Various Provarium for 86, non-identical SX Minis in every color imaginable ?

Anyone?

:confused:

Anyone?

:rolleyes:

Oh well, I guess I'll have to suffer...

And by the way... I'm Kidding... The Radius is the closest thing to vaping perfection I have encountered for my style of vaping.

PERIOD

You're welcome... I worked hard to develop that feature on The ZNA, The first of it's kind! :-x
yep, you were the pioneer with the ZNA. ZNA still feels WAY more comfortable than any of them. Sucks that the DNA 30 chip keep resetting even with a full battery at just 20watts which has been happening since it was brand new. I've sent it in to you before but it keeps happening, it's pretty unusable right now. This is using nothing but AW batteries.

OK, This is where i draw the line!!!

Hold a Provi Tube Mod in your hand with only your thumb and index finger. (either one on the fire button)

Now squeeze the fire button, alternating between Thumper and Pointer...

Which one is more stable?

Which one allows you to point your pinky out to say I'm an Elitist Vapor?!?

LOLz, Jim

Radius has hands down my favorite fire button feel, a welcome contrast to all the clicky buttons from China. Well, I think the ZNA is equal to the Radius but in a different way due to pretty much no button travel and still has the perfect tactile feel. I have tons of mods but these two are my favorite by far.
