You haven't been around all that long that it could be a significant "while".

It's funny, but mine still provide me the exact same vape they did back when I first bought them (four years ago). They haven't gotten any better, but I wouldn't have expected them to, but they also haven't gotten any worse.

Now at $29.95, I'm not sure I'd consider them overpriced. Outdated? Maybe. But so am I, so that's of no personal concern.

Who is Downtown Abbey? Does she blow Cloudz?
I know a girl named Abbey that works Downtown...

Strange direction with the Procylon. Using the Radius, I am really disappointed in the battery. And, it is a hassle to switch it out. Making a 50 watt single battery mod, even with better battery usage doesn't help. 25-30 watts is plenty for a lot of people. Or, better yet, a dual battery mod. My Vapershark 30w is still running circles around them, let alone my VS dual VF.

Why would you switch out the battery in the Radius other than on the rare occasion to completely replace it? It is meant to be charged via USB.

I though the same until I started charging via USB. Now it is a breeze.

Maybe the battery is dead and its your only/favorite mod.

Let us keep things in perspective here........I just had the THIRD IN A ROW dna200 mod go bad. Screen flash to "warranty service" and the mod is 2 months past the measly 4 mo. warranty.

Provapes great warranty, and awesome track record with failure rates, is well worth putting up with things like a menu you aren't thrilled about, or a slightly slower battery swap time.

And I get what ProVape's intent is but I switch them out cause they take an eternity to charge inside the Radius.
When I wanna use it, it's now- now 10 hrs from now.

The Radius battery is designed to be integral and charged with a USB. ProVape made it as easy as possible to exchange the battery but it was always intended to be kept in the Radius and charged via USB (I challenge you to find an integral design that makes it easier to change the battery than the Radius). Why people complain about this is beyond my comprehension despite it being explained 10 billion times. If you want the quickest pit stop get something else. If you go through more than one charge per day then get something else. The Radius is for people who want an integral battery design that they can charge via USB and go through one charge or less per day. If this doesn't fit your profile then quit complaining and get another mod. It's not that difficult to figure out.

The battery doesn't last long enough through the day. Having to plug it in at different places is not worth the money if it is expected to work above minimal watts.
I Agree, it seems to me that provape has gone from a niche to a sub niche regarding the marketplace , im not sure what they are thinking..........
It's the phone talking.

Well, all this get something else :facepalm:
I chose to keep my Radius & swap batteries as I see fit.
ProVape never said you can't swap your batteries WHEN YOU WANT TO & no one here can tell any one of us what to do with our mods or money!

For those that wanna leave theirs on a charger- more power to ya!

Am I the only weirdo here with a 12' USB extension cable?

(Actually, I bought it for computer reasons, but it works for vape-related activities. I was sick last year, didn't feel like getting off the couch for like two days...)

If I'm walking down the street with a 1/2 dead Radius, where am I supposed to plug it in at? :blink:
