Thanks Bea !!! ... thank you
As ENAUD said, that end cap should never be used on a 2.5. Early on in my experience with Provari, I put a performance end cap from a Procyon onto a Mini. Bad Bad Bad. Liked the way it looked ... but the glue securing the board didn't like the stress and the board popped loose after a bit. Had to send it back to ProVape for repair. DOH !!! Stick with the small spring end caps for sure.

Hello, I just received a 2nd hand black radius today. It is making a creeking/popping sound on the backside. My blue one does not do this. Anyone experienced this and know of an easy way to fix it?
Congratulations on the Radius. Sounds like it may have been dropped somewhere along the way in it's journey. How's performance? Does it work as it should? Anything rattle around inside? Never experienced a creaking/popping or had a Radius apart but a couple of things come to mind. First thought is maybe the black part has a crack in it and the sound is from flexing at the crack? Second thought is maybe either the top or bottom plate isn't seated on the black sleeve properly?

It works, I don't see any cracks, it does it whether I have the bottom plate on or off. Just simply grabbing t makes the noise, I don't need to squeeze it.
Interesting. I have two Radius and neither does that. If it does that just grabbing it and not even squeezing it ... maybe it's your hand making that noise
... honestly I have no idea. I'd have to see it to even guess. Hope someone can help get it sorted. In the meantime, enjoy !!!

Lol no it's not my hand. My other one does not do it. I have 2 of them so I can compare.
That is caused by the screws not being as tight as possible.
Hold the bottom cap on with a finger on either side, and tighten those screws down as tight as can be.
Use a glove to keep from chewing up your fingers.
Tried that still does it, could it be the top screws?
Mmmm... I suppose so, but any time I've had that happen, tightening the knurled bottom screws has fixed it.
It's not easy to get all the play out of the bottom plate because of that big spring.

First don't over tighten the bottom screws, I cracked one of mine around the insert nuts and I don't know how this happened but I would guess from cold weather and over tighten it.
When I say cold weather I mean 20°F below 0°F
I sent it back to Bill and he fixed it but,
After I got it back from being repaired, I dropped it in water,
so I tried to take it apart to dry it out.Took the screws out pulled the top plate up to expose the wiring, but I couldn't figure out how to take it the whole way apart.
It seems like the Radius body is 2 pieces, the side where the USB port is on looked like it would slide down or up.
I tried to slide it but got scared I would break it.
But now that side creeks every now and then.
You can see the seams for this sliding plate on the left side of my picture.
But anyways I believe this plate is what makes that noise.
PS. My Radius still works fine.
Just took a night in a bag of Rice.
I literally just got it today. As far as I know no drops. No play in the plate. I tried two different batteries. A samsung and a sony.
But a drop didn't crack it.
Back then I was changing batteries 3 times a day.
I was outside in extreme cold weather and I believe the cold and me over tighten the screws is what cracked it.
I don't change batteries anymore
That's a whole lotta ugly in that pic Chief!First don't over tighten the bottom screws, I cracked one of mine around the insert nuts and I don't know how this happened but I would guess from cold weather and over tighten it.

Looks like the screws must have shrunk and the plastic was brittle at those temps...did Bill replace that busted part? I tried to open mine up one time and couldn't figure it out either, I didn't want to force anything, there has to be a way to crack them open though, but I'll leave that to someone else to find out.
