After watching a few youtube reviews on the JAC it may not be the right mod for me. My issue is the magnetic battery door. Having a pacemaker/defibrillator embedded in my chest magnets are the not friendly.
And they are not wimpy magnets.

I took a long hard look at the JAC DNA 75, watched a bunch of vids, and decided it wouldn't be for me. Seems to be about the same size as an Aspire Pegasus Mini and that size in a box mod just doesn't fit my hand well. Don't need 75W either ... unless I'm vaping 7 or 8 mods at the same time LOL. Don't do coil / temp control. A fine mod, just not for me. Right size, right vape characteristics ... I'll stick with Provari. Still haven't seen anything to knock it out of my hands and money from my wallet.

The fire button is VERY light. I have accidentally pushed the fire button many times since I got my JAC. I swear the thing fires itself when it sees your hand coming. I really wish they made it harder to trigger that thing. It's nice to be real light when you actually want to trigger it but not especially happy that it triggers so easily by simple handling. Beyond this small issue the mod is fantastic.
seems you're right:
PB noticed it too.

Exactly how I feel on all counts. LOVE my provaris :wub:

The Radius just fits my hand best. It feels right. Right balance and right surface texture. Right tactile feel to the fire button. Things I don't like about the Radius ... 3 buttons pushed at the same time to turn on/off. Would work best for me if on/off were menu driven rather than manual. Thing is though, I've never even turned the Radius on and off ... ever HA. Battery access and having to take the thing apart to get to the battery. Thing is though, I've never even changed the battery since initially installing an LG HG2 in place of the Samsung 25R ... ever. However, I still have issue in that the two thumb screws holding the bottom cover can and/or will work their way loose. I had them really tight ... really ... and one day noticed that one of the thumb screws WAS MISSING !!! I freaked a little bit. Luckily I found it laying in my Jeep's console. Now I check tightness of the screws much more often. I don't have spares and can think of nothing that would replace them.

I agree with your thoughts on the Radius......That being said, I wish I could find another.
