I do not hate ALL IT.

I do hate this guy and I think it's mutual. He's not touching my stuff any more, he said "your signal is gonna be too weak" and YET it somehow mysteriously was turning on my Roku in Tucson so I am thinking NOT (also... spooky) plus another IT guy said it would be fine. The husband fixed it last night when I was asleep.

I really think it's malevolent, because IT dude also has a habit of getting halfway through tasks saying he will "come right back" and you can't use your computer and you have to go log on to someone else's and send an IT task to someone else to come help you. I called him on it early on, in the sense of, "I placed this task yesterday and IT guy said he would return and didn't. Can someone help me so I can turn on my computer."

The way I see it, Astro, is you gotta identify your work enemy early on, so you can target and laser focus all your work stress on that person (quietly and mentally) and seriously HE SO SUCKS. LOL.

If you really want to help, tell me what to do with unhappy Procyon. I am sure you are GREAT at IT and I wish you worked where I worked instead of my work enemy you could like fix all my stuff and we could vape and toast with our provaris and it would be lovely.

This isn't personal (to you) or any person other than the IT IDJJJITTTT who well all the rest of my IT folks are awesome.

Also, the husband told me like, my cellphone VM needed to be changed, it said something like, "Uh.... this is... uh Anna, and now that I have cleaned out my VM box you should be able to leave me a message."

Now, I CHANGED it at once, and am going through my VM history too see who at work has listened to my pathetic voice mail message, LOL, not too many folks thankfully.

Have you ever watched "IT Crowd" on Netflix?

 

[stols001]

I totally loved the IT crowd, my little brother turned me on to it. It was, uh, a little too close to home perhaps (ditzy blonde chick made me cringe, LOL) but like otherwise it was fantastic.

I've noticed a strange behavior with the Radius;
when charging it at some point i check the wall charger and it's cold but the battery gauge is still at half and then at some point it goes hot again and complete the charging process,it's like it's a two phase charging(or more?).
i thought it may have something to do with heat and the board cutting the charge but I'm using a 1amp charger and it's kind of winter right now.
weird..

Maybe try a higher amp power supply, the ones for the IPad work really well, I set up an Anker five port on my counter, I believe each port can put out two amps. I just checked and yes, the Anker does support a max of two amps per port.

 

[RadiusNick]

well i thought that since the Radius charge at 0.8 amp,i shouldn't over stress it with high speed chargers,
but any way it doesn't seem to go into that "second stage",so the battery is obviously dead.
i find that the batteries dies really fast on the Radius,I've had to change them three time since i got my radius(about two years ago or less) and on the other hand,i have 5 AW from two or three years ago i still rotate in a DNA device.
and also i meant wall charger not socket in my OG post.

You won't over stress anything with supplying more current, the contrary actually, as the Radius will only draw what it needs. So say you are running a claimed one amp supply, that supply is running near capacity to supply the needed current. By using a quality higher current power supply, the power supply isn't maxed out, and will be running at half throttle, if you get the analogy. If the power supply is not able to actually put out one amp continuously, it will be supplying less than what the Radius needs for optimum charging.

So yeah, that might explain why the charger was warm, and the Radius goes into a trickle mode. Just guessing from the info you gave in the first post.

that's interesting,i will try a a higher amp charger with the new battery I'll get,i don't want to put this one at test since it stopped mid way.

Cool, you will be running in a safer more efficient mode. If you have been on board charging only I'm not terribly surprised at your battery life to be honest, ProVape has been gone for some time now, this thread was started at the time of their closure so you could use that to double check your timeline on when you actually got your Radius...and remember, ProVape was always overly cautious in their firmware regarding battery safety and cut off limits for battery state and usage. I see that as a good point, others MMV.

I listen to a bunch of new music and this is my newest LOVE I am offering it in PLACE of bad Idol moments.

The unabashed rhyming the metaphors, the ALL OF IT I AM in love. LOL. I'm gonna post a couple so you can equally come to adore them. I love the MESSAGE too. "You don't mess with me EVER," seems to be the theme.

Some favorite lyrics to get you ready. "Betcha you thought that I was dead, but I'm not dead. I'm not dead." (They repeat it twice, watch for it)



Also: "I've already felt the cold.... I fell deeper than the snow.... So I'm never going back. I'm never going to crack."



I sort of want to classify this band as old school pop on steroids. I also secretly adore them.

So if you're able to survive
And still, you find yourself alone
You will begin to realize
That you are stronger on your own
And when you're able to decide
Then you don't want this anymore
You'll be the one to turn the tide
For you are stronger on your, stronger on your, stronger on your own

i checked my PayPal activity and saw i got those batteries at around FEB-MAR,
does 8 months of daily use seems reasonable for battery life?
(swapping between 2 radius;one is charging while the other is in use)

Not really.

Sounds a bit off, how long does a charge last you? If they have been charged like once a day then that would be rather short life I think, if charged twice a day...then that would seem like pretty normal expectation for cell life. So many variables involved...I have read where some folks retire cells after about six months ( mech ) users. We are using borrowed tech here, and getting cells from a secondary market at best. No telling the actual age of any of the cells we are buying. Caveat Emptor, as in all things.

 

[RadiusNick]

i charge each Radius once every two days +-
i suspect the fact that i don't let them rest/cold down after usage may affect their lifespan,
i just don't want the red led flashing for a few minutes,i prefer having to change more often expandable batteries and have a good functioning Led on the Radius,
for the same reason i have my screen turned off+i don't see the use of it when pushing the fire button.
i only left the blue led light on the fire button;i really enjoy it and find it useful too.

 

[RadiusNick]

i tried charging it again just to realize the charger was dead(no light indicator)
and following that i got the scary "return the device for repair"or something,but now it seems to be charging fine.
so it's a good opportunity to get that new 2amp one.
