Official ProVari Radius Thread

Lexi,
I'll take anything white that ProVape offers. Kinda tired of other white offerings on the market.

Currently 2 white 'Vari/s here......haven't used them in a while; may be time to blow the dust off & have a vape.

For the record I like this Midnight Blue more every day. It really grew on me.

Black is classic (and classy) but this bourbon awesome in its own right. You rally can't go wrong with any of these colors (in the looks dept) as far as I can tell.

Was "bourbon" an auto-correct? What was it supposed to be? Or is it a term I've not heard in a description before?

There's a world of difference between a cheap PCB, and Class rated boards. A cheap board wouldn't even withstand a heat stress test, which in the lab I work at is to dip it in 550 degree solder for 10 seconds, letting it cool, and repeating 5 times. A cheap board separates, blisters and delaminates. Even paper thin Class 3 boards pass this test. There's quite a lot of engineering and chemistry which goes into making reliable boards, which is cost prohibitive for nearly all mod makers...

Now I want to tear my radius down, just to see what's inside.

Ahem, Mr. Spelling Corrector. Small "m", large "A", no "H".

I'm so ashamed... I'm gonna need a hug

My wife has been liking mine so much, she said time to order her a Cabernet Radius. Done!

Now I hope they have enough to ship readily as she's going away with her lady friends next Wednesday for a mini vacation. Would be nice if it arrives before she leaves.

If it doesn't can I resist opening her vape mail to see the Cabernet in person? Now that's the question.

Annnnnnd if it doesn't you gonna let her take yours with her & her lady friends????

So when the lighting bolt goes away the battery is fully charged? I'm not quite sure as when the bolt goes away on my Radius there is still a small amount of battery bar missing at the top and when I take it off the USB and fire it once it goes to about 3/4 battery bar immediately.

The lightning bolt should disappear when it is fully charged

Haha yeah I think I was saying "blue is"

Technology has come a long way the past years but Provape is standing still in some regards like safety. It's like the completely irgnore current tech and decided to just replace everything with their own standards. This was fine in the early days of vaping but not anymore if you ask me.

I could be wrong but me thinks a Radius is not in your future......

Cables actually CAN limit your charge rate

Not in the sense of limiting 800mA to 500mA, unless there are electronics in the cable. Maybe some of those wires with LED's - never tried one.

Hey, I'm one of those, it isn't so bad once you just accept it I have this kind of luck with all things manufactured, it's a gift, really.

And here I was thinking Stan was vaping 'n drankin'!

What I don't understand is why the radius is priced at 200 dollars and the p3 is priced mostly above that when the radius uses superior tech is it just material choice polycarbonate cheaper to machine then titanium or steel and cheaper to source

ProVape charges what it costs to make, whichever model it is, including profit.

They don't go around fiddling the numbers.

They charge what they have to charge.

Not a penny more. Not a penny less.

I know that if they charge more for the P3, then it costs them that much more to make.

I'm fascinated by the changes auto-correct comes up with. And the arbitrary links that appear. I posted something one time that had an obscure zoological term in it, I can't recall what it was, but it came up with a red link to the Wikipedia page.

Its proven fact that some cheaper cables DO limit your charge rate...increased resistance in the cable limits the current to the mod...lower charge rate....its not limiting the charge rate as a designed function of the cable, but as a side effect of low quality

Christmas?

CHRISTMAS?!?!?

I'm thinking Turkey Day...

You talking the wafer or the finished board with circuit paths sans components? I know provape does both cryo and heat tests on the assembled boards but not sure about the raw wafers. IIRC they freeze to below 300 and heat to 450 but not willing to look through 2 hours of PB's tour vid to find the info. Maybe Vape360 can chime in. I know it's similar to the tests NASA does on satellite components.

The pre component board . The board itself has as much, if not more to do with reliability than components. I don't imagine ProVape tests the raw board, as the company who makes and certifies their boards would do that,,,
