Congrats, although this makes me very jealous, I ordered on the 18th and am still 'processing' for a red and black
Maybe I was just lucky but both of my orders shipped soon after placing them. The 1st was Onyx the 2nd a Cabernet.
Onyx, ordered Oct 13 & Shipped Oct 16
Cabernet, ordered Oct 27 & Shipped Oct 28
Bummer! But on the up side ...its said anticipation builds desire.
Maybe I'm weird.
Okay, I'm weird, but am I the only one who wants the manufacturer to take their time to get it right when I order something?
I get a little freaked out when stuff shows up right after it's been ordered when it says 3-4 Weeks.
I'm not jonesin' so bad that I can't wait for perfection.

Your generosity just floored me! I PM'd you my address. Let me know if you want me to reciprocate with my spare Russian 91%!
Sometimes a long blink is better than a cough...
Cause, if you didn't see it... Well you know the rest!
Thanks for being understanding and flexible!

You're not getting sick, are you, Classy? I worry about these things.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
Nevermind. I GET IT!
"Ixnay on the alktay."
No no no no no no no 3.5mm is WAY too huge. The #6-32 machine screw is approx. 2.8mm in diameter.
You can use a 7/64" drill bit also...
I discovered it quite by accident...literally by grabbing the wrong size drill bit out of the box.
When I got my KF4, I was using the same size coil I'd always used, built on a 5/64" (2mm) drill bit. But while that worked for the Kayfun Lite series, the KF4 didn't like it so much.
The KF4 stock airflow is much more open than a KFL, and so I determined I'd need a bigger diameter coil to put up with the wider airflow. I meant to go one size up, to a 3/32" bit (2.383mm - though most call it a 2.5mm, even though a true 2.5mm bit is somewhere between a #40 and a #39 bit) however, I grabbed the 7/64" (2.8mm) bit instead. Needless to say, that was the right move, as my KF4 exploded with flavor, instead of being super muted like it had been.
One day I got curious, and kinda tired of having to build two different sized coils, for my lonely KF4 and my many KFLs...I decided to pop a 7/64" (2.8mm) coil on my KFL, and it worked great! It actually improved on what I had thought was a perfect build!
I went from 8/9/10-ish wraps (I think) on a 5/64" (2mm), to 5-6 wraps on a 7/64"(2.8mm) and got a slightly lower resistance coil, with the larger diameter, which allowed for better wicking.
In my experience, switching from 5/64" (truly a 1.984mm aka 2mm) diameter coil to a 7/64" (truly a 2.779mm aka 2.8mm) coil has improved on wicking and flavor in all my Kayfun models.
People always think I'm crazy, but then they try it.
Getting a #6-32 machine screw was the next logical step for me. Same diameter (or close enough for government work), and it helps space the wraps perfectly. I don't like contact coils anymore, as they tend to get little hot spots of dry wick inside them. With a spaced coil, I see thorough saturation of the wick.
Have fun! Sorry for mathing and numbering at you. I have a tendency to be a little too thorough.
Edit: On quadruple thought, it might be easier for someone to grab a metric drill bit set, and avoid confusion, if they're really worried about being super accurate. Honestly, the 0.221mm lost in the mental conversion of 7/64" (2.779mm) to 2.8mm doesn't really bother me...even though I am sure there are some who would lose their marbles over it. In reality, a true 2.8mm bit is sized somewhere between a #35 and #34 bit.
P.S. Edit: On topic - I want an Onyx Black Radius, but I'm probably gonna wait for the Stealth...I really doubt I'll need two. But if I do, I'll get the Onyx Black...it's a shame there's no Satin Silver.

Well, it wouldn't be a ghost white Radius as being the curious lot I am, I checked the Provape sight and you can still can't a-order one. So, I'm with you HBManOfTheCorpseDude, whad'd'ya order there buddy??
A Black One!!!
I will still try and wait for white. But, who knows whether it will be Apple White or not.
Jim
Ah, see I'm wise to the cut of your jib now...
"A Black One" WHAT? [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]
A black P3? A black v2.5? Did you even order anything from Provape? Maybe you mean you ordered a black Ferrari...or a black Craftsman pressure washer...
With YOU, anything goes, unless specifically stated otherwise!
I can't get emotionally invested in your stories again, unless you give specific details! You, Sir AstroJim, are not a liar...but you ARE clever with your omissions. And I'm aware now.

Now I wait for a shipping notice.
LOLz, Jim
PS Howdy HB, it's good to see you! Jim

I really like the JWraps cup holder. I had one from Provape directly for the P3 and TBH (no offense Provape), it's much taller than the JWraps holder. This one fits way more discretely in the cup holder.
Good going there Jim! I'm head over heels in love with the Radius. And the same for the Kabuki. In fact, I like the Kabuki so much that I'll be getting two more.
