Oh, and that was at 14 watts boost 4

At boost 4 and at the end of a charge, the voltage sag could have been enough to trigger the drop in charge level. Try lowering the boost level and see if it still happens. Also with sammys I've noticed it takes a few charge cycles for them to stabilize( break in period ).

I'm also running mine down to empty to see if I get the charge level reading incorrect with the usb like you did but im using a blue 25r I swapped so I could do the first charge outside the radius.

Vape360, should the battery plate be centered on the batt? Mine doesn't sit centered due to the wire bein a tad long. It hasn't caused any issues yet but I figured I'd ask anyway. I was also curious why solid wire and not stranded for the negative plate. Stranded could carry just as much power and be more flexible for those of us that do swap batts.

That wasn't the problem.....the problem is the battery meter doesn't move AT ALL......it still said full after just under a day and a half. I've learned that if i pull the battery and reinstall it, the correct battery level will then be displayed.....and stick at that level, till i pull it again.

Ah maybe a software glitch then. Probably just needs a wipe and reinstall of the os. Display errors are common on all computer devices and aren't readily apparent on the short tests the do during assembly, especially on digital gauges. Sounds like it's working right just not displaying correctly.

I still wonder if it's not reading the boost right though. I'd still try a different boost level.

No. Because you didn't say _what_ to do, you simply mentioned the topic. FYI? I have never 'lubed' my P2 or P3, and zero issues. I have no intent whatsoever of 'lubing' my Radius at this point either.

However, as per usual, I do enjoy the posts pointing a new 'lube' for other purposes.

Tried that.....I'm at boost 2 now, and 12 watts....been that way for a few hours....no change on display :/

I know they will take care of it though.....and even with that, i still love the thing....sho how much more will i like it when i will know how much battery I've got left? [emoji14]

And that's why provape gets the majority of my business now. They back their products, go above and beyond to fix issues and will admit a fault on their end if it is.

I have a box full of China mods headed for the recycle pile that I couldn't get fixed/replaced even though they died during the so called warrantee period of a measly 90 days.

Yeah, but if you can't get you products fixed/upgraded locally that "cheap chinese box" is going to cost you less than have you Provape product shipped & fixed.
Also the price of products does go up, so the warranty isn't as good thing as it seems to be on paper.

Unfortunately, that's probably true if ProVape devices aren't sold in your country. We do have a ProVari owner in Latvia who posts here often. I wonder how he manages?

I ordered my Provaris from abroad - 1 came from VapeEscape, UK, and the other directly from Provape.
I have sent in these devices 2 times - once for an upgrade to the UK, and yes, this one was a bit steep in the price. Second time it was a ticket at Provape and it only cost me 2,65 EUR to ship the P3 Ti to the States.
Yes, it takes a bit longer, if one does not have local service, but wacha gonna do. It doesn't cost you an arm and a leg, though.
Regarding Finland - these guys carry Provaris http://www.puffila.com/index.php

good morning all.

I'm on day 3 with my Radius. I love the feel of it in my hand and sometimes I just hold it for no reason other than to admire it :blush: The Radius is considerably heavier than other (cheaper) box mods but I just love the weight and also the size which fits perfectly in my hand and the firing button is just perfect...

I Didn't get my Kabuki P3 in time (post office still admiring them) so I figured why not start with the 510 Kabuki. The first thing that blew me away was how VERY smooth the vape is. This is my first Provari and when I took my first drag I audibly mumbled "whoah" because of how smooth the vape is.
I had the Kabuki 510 on a Zero Modz Clone and a Coolfire IV before, set to 11w on both and the difference is really noticeable.

Now I'm vaping a 1.6 head at 10w and I'm still on my first charge, closing in on my 5th refill. In between I went through half a tank with my Subtank (0.5 at 24w). The battery indicator is only now showing the last line. This is just stunning! Even more stunning is that the vape is still as good as when I took the first puff...
I played around with the boost on the first evening and noticed that the battery drains considerably faster with it (even with the shortest boost). After 3 hours of chain vaping with the 0.25 boost the battery indicator showed half full. When I shut off the boost the indicator went to almost full after a few puffs :)

My P3 Kabukis should arrive tomorrow so I'm prepared for even more awesomeness as I believe that the superior P3 connection will make for an even better battery life.


The last 3 days have been a perfect vaping experience. In fact even my wife noticed: We spent our sunday shopping and then out on the playground with our daughter so we were out for over 6 hours and when we came home it was just about time to refill the tank. So when I did she came over to tell me that this is the first time we spent that much time together without me fiddling around with my vaping equipment :blush: she liked it! :)

I'm so in love with this thing :wub:

So I'm going to order another one in midnight blue and then it is time to clean up the cabinet and sell and give away most of my old stuff. Because it looks like I finally found the perfect combination to make my vaping experience 100% satisfying. No more fiddling around with leaking tanks or mods that drain my battery or miss "the little something" to make it perfect. Thank you Provape! :hubba::banana:

Awesome review. I feel the same way. I have been chasing high wattages for that warm vape for so long and forgot that I can vape around 25 watts or lower and enjoy it if you build around it. I do enjoy how smooth the vape is as well.
