Question.......Anyone have any play/movement between the tank and the Radius? I've got a Bellus on it, slight movement. Tried two other tanks, and slight movement with those. My P3 doesn't have any movement with the same tanks.

Absolutely no movement with a Kabuki and the Radius. But I should also mention, I'm using the P3 Kabuki tanks and the connection is so strong there really couldn't be any movement.

So I tighten it down, and it's fine. After a short bit, there is movement, and the tank can spin off without any resistance. Maybe when I get a chance I'll give my Kayfun v4 a try, which has the P3 connector. I'm sure it will be fine once I throw that on. But blah, my Kayfun has always given me problems. I really wish the market/community would switch over to the P3 connector.

Took out the lemo2 just to see how it looks on the radius. Think I'm gonna rock it like this for a while.

BETA TESTERS: BG bug found. Please play with BG and report your findings to the email. Feel free to PM me if you do or do not find any issues, to satisfy my curiosity, and to let me know if it's widespread and easily reproduced, or only under very specific circumstances in which case I'll have to make a much more detailed report, than my current somewhat detailed report.

For those wondering what BG is, well, keep guessing! ;)

You might be tightening down the tank, but have you tried tightening the P3 to 510 adapter with a coin? That bit might be coming loose. Let us know...

Mine was supposed to come in the mail yesterday and it looks like I won't even be getting it until Monday. My tracking just says "delayed" with no other info. :-x
oh that is not cool. Mine says monday now, but is still sitting in WA. Ugh. I was hoping it might come early like my last vape mail. This is killing me. lol

I did tighten down those rings. Same thing. It does get tight, and its fine. But it does have play over time. Not a huge deal just something I noticed. With the price of the mod and provari. I wouldn't get except this.

I've used several tanks on mine (Kayfun, Erlkonigin, Gem, Russian) and none of them have any play at all with the 510 connection, even after carrying it around all day and in and out of my suit pocket. Strange indeed.

Is the Kayfun an authentic Svoemesto Kayfun?

Just my observation. What he *seems* to like now is geared more to advanced vapers & the sub Ω crowd.

Maybe. But, as with other "reviewers" etc. they're going for what's in vogue; not to be cynical, but what's in vogue is to some extent where the $$ are, and that's coming from someone who appreciates what people like Phil have done for vaping.

While I can buy into this...

I think the key phrase regarding Phil is "Have Done" (Past Tense)

My thoughts, Jim

I received the Radius "Today"! Woo-Hoo!!! Smaller than I expected. Good Looking unit.

So far, I'm loving it. Not going to list all the things I like about it as my hands would fall off trying to type that much. LOL!

List of what I don't like. Well, she's a little slippery. Would have expected the tiny pyramids to have been a bit taller and sharper. But nothing ordering the sleeve won't fix.

Being a retired metal shaper and having been known worldwide for the quality of fit and finish I produced, the top cap is bugg'n me a bit. It has a tiny line running the full circumference. And there are small, evenly spaced tool chatter marks all the way around it. The bottom cap, on the other hand is flawless. Please keep in mind that I see things in fit and finish that average, even picky person's would NEVER see. Much less be bothered by.

Now to performance, I have two Provari 2.5's that I have used for a ridiculous amount of time and vaping. Both have again, been flawless. Nither has a scratch on it. And I Don't baby them.
I did however order two Pioneer4you ipv-4s devices to try vari-wattage recently.

Today, shortly after the Radius came in, I compared the two side by side. I can't explain it, but the Radius gives a smoother vape. Not a huge difference, but it is there and noticeable!

Also, the setup on both of them is the Aromamizer with dual twisted, 28ga A-1 at apx .48 ohm. The ipv-4s wattage had to be increased to 32 watts to match the flavor or the Radius set at 29.4.

So Yes Virginia, there "IS a difference!! The nay sayers can make fun, and put us down all they want. I know quality when I see and experience it, and the Provari products have it in spades!

Kinda makes ya feel bad for all those that just don't' get it doesn't it!
(Even if they just can't shut up posting their self righteousness born of terminal ignorance). Ignorance is as they say, Bliss after all.

Gotta love it

Long Live Provari!!!:cool:

So. My radius (I'm a little embarrassed to say two, I got carried away while under the influence, but happy that I did) arrived this morning. You're right. Smaller, better looking, slightly slippier, a very slight horizontal line across the top cap of one but not the other. But, great devices. They fit very well in the hand. I'm happy.
