A quick status report. Running a 1.7 ohm 28g coil at 12w with an average puff time of 7-10 secs on my vertex dripper I got just over 2 days on a blue Sammy 25r. Puff counter shows 519 puffs. Yes I like long relaxed lung hits on my dripper. Will compare to the green Sammy next.

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.

As long as it's touching, but doesn't need to be centered.

That is stranded wire :)

OK... Second effort here seemed to work. Kudos to USPS and oringsandmore for getting the 015 O-Rings to me so quickly! I ordered on Friday night or Saturday (can't remember) and I got them in the mail already with standard shipping.

It's been together for at least 10 min, and I've been puffing away. More importantly though, I've been watching and the bubbles are coming from where you expect them to come from (the coil). Last time with the smaller rings, the (big) bubbles were coming from the o-rings. It would lose vacuum every puff and ended up flooding.

So here it is... The first Kabuki with a (working) poly tank! Thanks @zen for the advice on o-ring size and a fantastic product!

I saw on Provapes' site the white Radius as coming soon.
Anyone have any idea how soon--soon is?
Hello,

The white Radius is going into production in the next ~7 days and once we get some stock built up, we will post on FB/ECF when the ordering starts :)

I think the Radius is using the IQ feature, but ProVape stuck it in the battery meter instead of having a separate reading in the menu like the P3.

If you look at that battery icon it is changing in real time.

So, for those of you who miss obsessing about your IQ; there you go.
The reason your battery icon is changing in real time, is: It works like a distance gauge in a car.
Some cars will tell you how far you can drive, based on what's left in the tank, and how fast you're driving.
In the P3/Radius, the chip calculates your current power setting, the resistance of the coil, how long your hits are, and how frequently you hit it...then gives you a cute animation of how long your battery will last under those conditions.
As far as the IQ feature was/is concerned, it would tell you about the quality of the circuit you'd created with the battery and the battery cap. If the battery was internally fading, in charge or overall life, or if your threads/battery contact were dirty...well the IQ could tell there was something "less than optimal" in the circuit path and it could inform you, based on a score.

Great comparison with the distance gauge vs the fuel level!

Some of you know I've been away from here for a lonnnnng time so walk with me.....is there a particular Kabuki for the Radius. I saw mentioned several pages back a P3 & 510.

I was away for awhile too! Hope all is well with you and good to see you back! I came back just in time to see all the buzz about the Radius and the Kabuki! Love both!
