According to the USPS' infinite wisdom, the shortest route from northern IL to southern IL is via Fargo, ND....:facepalm:

Not surprising. I had an order be routed from California to Washington via Oklahoma once. My guess is it got tossed in the wrong cart and trundled into the back of the wrong truck. Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor hail nor gross stupidity...

Any news from you beta testers on when the new firmware will be released?

I'm hoping it's before Christmas as I have a Radius sat under the tree waiting for me!

@Vape360 will you be doing another round of recruiting beta testers for us late comers to the party? :nun:

How are the Radii holding up altogether? There are more report's on chip glitches in this thread than there ever where in all of the P3 threads together, it seems.
Just had to fend off another Radius bashing in our local forum, but that's no concern. I'm considering one myself, some time in spring, but would be interested - where are we going??

No issues beyond what I have already complained about (no battery charge indicator). I was an early adopter.

Haven't heard from the Mothership since we got the 2nd Beta for testing, but we have a group PM for testers and none of us have found anything that could prevent the release. So, I'd predict it's coming soon.

R, the Radius is doing great. When they were first released, there was a batch that got out with a capacitor that in some cases failed. Given the high number of Radii sold, this was a very small percentage. I myself got one. But Provape figured out what was going on, pulled those capacitors off and they're using a different one that so far is working like a champ. Over the last few weeks, there have been virtually no reports here of anyone needing to send theirs back. I have absolutely every confidence in my device and I'm sure you'll be really pleased when you get one. It's my daily device these days. Along with my 3 P3 Kabukii and I'm a beyond happy camper. Yes I am.

I haven't had any issues with mine (Midnight Blue, Ghost White). I have had them since they were first available. I vape them all day (I can vape freely at work). I don't even use the silicone sleeves anymore...that lasted all of like two days...now I don't even bother, it seems rugged enough (it's a Provari after all!). Nice enough for the jewel box, and rugged enough for your toolbox! Or something..

I'm having problems with mine.

1. I can't seem to be able to pry it out of my hand! Makes doing some things a bit awkward.

2. Tried my ipv-4s today, (in the other hand), Man, it felt terrible! What gives???

3. It's costing me plenty. My Wife says she doesn't want one, but I keep catching her eying it! Grrrrrr!!!
I know it's a money thing. ( I've got to have one of the few wives in the world who hates shopping or buying things, yet she NEVER gives me a hard time when I do. She was very happy that I ordered the Radius. (Whew)!
I'll be getting one for her soon!

Other than those few irritating things, It's GREAT!!!:thumb:

Oh, did I mention, it's small, light, but solid, works every single time I use it, and does so very, very well?;) I do keep loosing it in my back pocket. When I can pry it loose. Unlike the 4s that weighed a ton, and was always trying to pull my pants down. LOL:eek:

And They give us a hard time for lov'n our Provari toys! Double Grrrrrr!!!:-x

He caught a big ole Musky on the chain. Shocked the hell out of me that the chain had a 42" musky in it.

I've actually never been fishing or boating, but hubs has and informed me that big fish can be found. The Chain of Lakes also connects to the Fox River. I moved here from Chicago about 11 years ago because my husband already owned a house here.

Hard to believe the fish survive in that water. There are so many boats on that lake you could walk across it and not get your feet wet. So you're a city girl. I spent the first 38 years of my life in the NW burbs of Chicago (Elgin along the Fox River being one place). Went to undergrad in ChiTown. Been to the city a lot. Yes, I'm a White Sox fan (I'll spare you from having to ask).

When I first moved here, 173 (the main highway) was backed up every weekend with boaters. Higher fuel prices cut that down a lot. The last couple of years, it's on its way back. We do enjoy dining at the restaurants along the chain. Pretty view.

I grew up in Park Ridge. It's mandatory in my family to be a Cubs fan :)

err ... ummm ... not to be a Debbie Downer but I guess I was one of the 'virtually none'. I posted here about having to send my wife's back a couple weeks back. A red LED was constantly shining through the fire button. I was told the next update would probably fix it. OK .. I'll wait. Then when it was on the charger, the batt gauge starting going down instead of up. I contacted Provape again and they immediately sent out a replacement.
