Official ProVari Radius Thread

[ate63]

Got home to some serious vape mail - three bottles of The Milkman and an authentic kayfun V4 with a P3 adaptor. I quickly built a 1.6 ohm coil, filled the tank and vaped away. I immediately understood why this tank has such a hefty price tag. Ridiculous amounts of overengineering aside, the quality of the vape is incredible. The flavor, the cloud production...it's all there. I'm now debating on whether or not it'll be joining me on my trip to London!

Alpha, I've had one since the release date Dec. 6 2014, still my favorite RTA!

I don't have a Kayfun V4, but I have 2 KFLs, one authentic and one clone. I can tell that the authentic is better made, but I haven't noticed any difference in the flavor. Neither puffed my tootle.

Well... if it don't puff your tootie then what good is it?

Take it with you. I haven't been able to find anything I like better. I like the vape quality a buuuuunch. Builds too easy, wicks too easy and fills way too easy. But you have to nail the build like anything. Authentics rule!!

I love how it opens up the flavor. It took me a whole of 2 minutes to build, wick and fill. This tank is an absolute beast. Don't get me wrong, I still love my Kabuki P3, but the KF4 is a totally different animal. I think it'll definitely join me on my trip!

Last night in the middle of vaping my Radius fire button got stuck in the fire position. I immediately took off the Kabuki P3 tank and took out the battery. Tried to click on the fire button but it was stuck. This morning I tried the button and it was fine and acting like it never happened. Put the battery back in and screwed the Kabuki tank on and all seems fine. I looked at the fire button closely under a magnification lamp I have I could not see and problem on the outside. I'll give it a day to see if the problem persists I really would hate to have to send it back in for repair. Anyone else have any problems with the fire button sticking or acting funny?

That is one I have not heard before re: the Radius. Perhaps a lil shot of canned air?

To my knowledge no one else has commented about something like this. Maybe you just pushed the fire button a little too hard?

I keep hearing about all you guys 'n gals that love the Kayfun V4, it must be nice.

I came across a Tobeco clone of the V4 and I hated it. The engineering made it a PIA to work with and clean, but my biggest problem was the flavor was very poor. I'm wondering if the authentic might be worth a try and that it's just the clone was a complete failure. I only do authentic vape gear now, but the bad experience with the clone has made me leery of the big price tag. If somebody out there has experience with both clone and authentic, please chime in.

Maybe a good deal will show in the classies.

I'm probably not going to help you decide but FWIW. I have 2 Svoe's and 2 Tobeco's. I don't think I could tell them apart w/ respect to 'vaping' in a blind test. Both brands work really well for me.

Now the machining tolerances on the real deal are better. Maybe 'too better'. The Svoe's, I have to take off the mod, in order to open/close the juice flow ring - the threading is so snug. The Tobeco's I have no problem doing it when attached to the mod. The downside to the Tobeco's when opening/closing the juice ring, I get a tiny amount of juice seep out the gap around the juice ring when doing this that has to be wiped off after refilling. But it never leaks while in use, so I can put up with it.

I think having your picture show up with that search term is much worse than having your picture posted on a vaping forum.

He was attempting to invoke a certain vibe from the Seventies.

Nailed it.

It has far out-lived the performance pieces it was intended for.

He did his job too well.

Oh, heck yeah!

I had to send it back to Israel - TWICE! The entire process took ALMOST FOUR MONTHS to resolve.

Oh, wait. Wrong mod.

Radius? You'll have it back in about a week. Send it in.

Vapeporn of the day!

But won't he miss out on those Airline miles?

At least you got yours back. TWICE!! My Microstick never turned up. I can only assume it was stolen somewhere overseas. Tracking went awry after it left the US. And I still have another broken Microstick that will remain broken and I'll use it for parts for my last Microstick. I will never buy from a company overseas again that doesn't have US support (except By Leo).

I can only imagine. It's more like no communication.

I know.

We already decided that if any of ours break down again, they'll be sold for parts. NO MORE Trans-Atlantic trips.

I can only imagine. It's more like no communication.

Are you tracking the activity on their thread? Kat really took her to task, and she came back with the oddest set of posts I've ever seen.

Buy with confidence, buy ProVape.

No, I'll have to go look.

I envy all of you that can make this thing work. I really wanted to like it, but as i keep saying i can not wick that thing to save my life. I love the look of it and when someone else wicks it it is great. I just dont get how i can wick so many other things, but just can not nail this one. Ugh fiddle faddle

I found it to be like communicating with a different species. Very disappointed.

 

[ScandaLeX]

Hence my use of a Rüzgar and now Kabuki. My tootle now be puffed or my puff tootled - whichever.

Sounds like it's a good time either way!!!
