It can be welded but there is a trick to it. You will have to find someone that know how to weld cast iron. Had a antique barber chair years ago. The cast iron foot rest broke and I had a guy weld it up. The weld has to be hammered (like on a anvil) to relieve the stress on the weld join.

I do know that cast iron is very tough to weld, I think it has to be TIG welded, and cooled very slow, or it will crack. I had never heard of the hammering though. I think it can be braze welded easier though, but that is a weaker weld. :unsure:

that's better every time i hear it
The first time I heard that I was blown away, the silliness of the lyrics preceding the piece faded away and the music took me to a place of appreciating pure beauty. I have listened to it many many times, and still get choked up every time I hear it, the man was a true genius, brilliant composer, comic, and had an eye for the hypocrisies and injustices of our world.

other than the black finish, did any other provaris have a dull matte coating ?
There were quite a few over the years, two tone hybrids, purples, reds, blues, greens, I can't remember the name of the coating they used, maybe it was Cerakote? I could be wrong on that...

is there a list of what changes where in the p3 firmware upgrades ?
Provape used to have a FAQ on all of the firmware upgrades for all devices on their site, now that the server is gone I don't think that is available anymore, maybe the innernet way back site has an archive of it, I have not done a search there, and am not all that familiar with how the internet archive thing works. Maybe someone who knows more about it could take a look.

The majority of mine are the matte coating. Black, blue, red, bronze, purple, and zombie.

The non-matte ones I have are gunmetal zenkote, satin silver, and one that was originally matte black but had been sanded down so that only the crop circles are black and the rest is polished steel.

@Terry Koontz there were several flat colors. Of course the Matt silver, lime green and blue, white and black fade, red to black fade, Tiffany blue, zombie green to red fade, I’m sure there are more I can’t think of right now, someone else will pipe up and re-educate me.

the following is a copy paste from a page I found on internet archive wayback:


This device can be updated at home on a Windows 7, 8, 10 PC and OS X 10.11 or newer. Please download the software and instructions with the provided link. Please note that you should install the software first before plugging your Radius into the computer's usb port.



Radius Version 19 (upgrade from 18) - The following changes were implemented in Version 19:

Charge Indicator - You can now set the led to light up blue when plugged in and charging. Once the device reached a full charge, the LED will turn off. This can also be turned off.

Manual Menu Mode - The manual menu mode allows the user to manually control the menu by advancing the icons using the plus/minus buttons and using the main button to select.

Minor Bug Fixes




Radius Version 20 - This update fixes a bug that was introduced in the previous version where sleep mode was not working. Sleep mode conserves battery energy when the device is not being used.




Radius Version 26 (40 Watt model) (07/19/2016) - This version incorporates several bug fixes and improvements to the previous version to include: Battery meter adjustments, increase accelerator scroll speed, changes to the end of charge detection, slimmer battery icon, bug fixes.



Radius Version 40cc (40/60 Watt model) - This is a optional software update you can install on your Radius which contains Coil Control. Note: Version 40cc contains everything that is in Ver 26, but with the added Coil Control functionality.

CC - Coil Control - This software allows you to change from watts mode to 'Coil Control' mode. In Coil Control mode, you can select the type of coil you are using and the software will control the heat to the coil to prevent burning.

Quick Start Guide available here - Link

P3 Update

To locate a reseller near you with a programmer please visit our Store Locator or contact ProVape Customer service for details on updating. If a store near you does not have a programmer, you always have the option to send the device to ProVape. Updates are done the day they arrive so we will provide quick turn service.

The following changes were implemented in Version 38:

Support for .5 ohm tanks - The P3 now supports tanks at .5 ohms.

Low Battery Alert - When the device gets down to 18% left in the battery, the light will slowly flash yellow to alert you that it's getting low.

CheckAll (1 second) - The CheckAll feature now has the option to set it to 1 second. This allows for a quick look at your settings without leaving the display on for 5 or more seconds.

Battery Filtering - We have added some additional battery filtering to help with some problems reported by users saying the battery was empty when there was still energy left. Having the new spring and making sure all your connections are clean and tight is still what will fix this, but extra filtering will also help.

Various bug fixes

Money Saved Counter - This new feature allows you to set the price of a pack of cigarettes and the P3 will keep track of: How many cigarettes avoided, puff count, and how much money you have saved on cigarettes, based on the amount you set per pack. Every time you vape, this will keep track of your stats for these categories.



P3 Software Update V40 Now available.

We recommend that all P3 devices upgrade to the latest version.

This release has the following improvement:

Battery management improvements and bug fixes.

Manual Menu Mode. This mode allows you to select Auto or Manual for the menu scrolling. When in Manual mode, you can control the menu by short and long presses.

there are several different snapshots in time and some of the latter ones had redirects in them, don't have anymore time right now to dig...

You know, come to think of it, V.41 was never publicized on their website. I found out about it when one the P3's that were going for dirt cheap towards the end was V.41 I emailed ProVape and Blake replied back that some of the new ones had it and could be downloaded. He didn't have an explanation as to why it wasn't on the website. After that, some had it, some didn't.

I was wondering about the V41, because all my P3's are V40, even the ones I bought at the end during the closeout.
