Up to the 1960's the American big 3 auto companies made good solid cars that lasted. They built up reputations and fan bases. For most Americans, there was only 3 companies to buy from. The big 3 realized this and also that their cars were lasting to long. If they don't break, then people won't buy a new one...
Knowing this and that the fact that no matter what junk they put their name on, it would sale, they started making cheaply made disposable cars.
They beat that horse well into the 90's.
By the 2000's, after being out sold by foreign automotive companies, and a couple of government bail outs, they realized that they couldn't survive on just their names anymore.
This story has no meaning, just my tired ramblings
I haz tracking - say it ain't so!
yea - you made me and one other person look so far. The day is young though...
I knew better
Your trying to get me to look at those bad sites again
I'm still having nightmares from the last time
Glad to see I'm not the only one who loves ProVape's V2's (2.5's), P3's and will, in fact, purchase more of those in the future but is just not interested in a Radius for reasons that include: I want to use these multiple batteries I have and can easily swap them out (just carry a extra battery or two while tripping for a week) and have the option to use (or at least see) volts and/or wattage.
To those who put on their big girl panties in a ProVape forum and admitted it - THANK YOU! I don't feel like such a outcast and traitor...
JSYK (Just So You Know), come June, I plan on purchasing a Ti Stealth P3 for me self and a Ghost Radius for Jackie for her birthday. She wants one and it fits her vaping style, wants and needs.
Also, JSYK, she hates her K4 but LOVES her Elegant Kabuki I got her for Christmas!
P.S. It's sad ProVape refuses to admit they had a problem with a few of their P3's being out of spec. They used to run neck and neck with Johnson Creek in the honesty department. Who ever heard of, "mashing down" a firing pin on a ProVari anyway? Let alone two of them?
Please, don't get me wrong, I love ProVape and refuse to use any other vaporizer. If a Radius was my only ProVari option, well, I guess it would be my only option...
Kind of like, my siblings and I can talk smack about our parents but no one else better!

A Pretty Good Read 
A new study finds diacetyl in e-cigarettes but exaggerates risks and fails to discuss about smoking
From the article:
" In many cases, levels of these compounds are absolutely minimal, and it is NOT expected to raise any concerns about human health effects. Additionaly, the authors FAILED to mention the presence of these compounds in tobacco cigarette smoke.
Smokers need to be informed about the risk from continuing smoking versus a risk coming from use of diacetyl containing e-liquids. We should not forget that the risk from discouraging smokers to use e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation tool is higher than the risk of being exposed to diacetyl and acetyl propionyl at the average levels found in this study."

I think that is the standard line. I have sent in a few
Prothingy's. Each time it was said to make sure it was clean. I can only imagine what some of them go back to them looking like 
in order for them to have to state that. Right now I have three of them in for upgrading the top cap to the P3. One needs a new glass window, I broke it a few years ago and never had it fixed, figured the time was right to get that done and the upgrade. All three are on their way back to me. The one needed cleaning in the top cap, those old top caps are hard to get any leaked liquid out of that tiny well area! Figured since they were replacing the cap, I didn't bother cleaning it out much. LOL
No cleaning charge on the bill.
They should add the definition of what clean is. To me, if it fires, then it don't need cleaned yetI think that is the standard line. I have sent in a few

I got one more complaint about $200 for a Radius
It comes with a Vktech Micro USB Retractable Cable
I'm sorry but for $200 it should come with a better cable then one that cost around $0.60
And that's our cost if we get them off eBay or Amazon...
It should come with a Better cable and a Wall adapter for that cost.

Well all I was saying is it seems that way, I mean if they are properly testing them, why are there so many problems happening?
One guy's got broke when his cat knocked it off a coffie table (or end table), that is not a very big drop!

I have gotten a few used ones from the Classies, a couple of those were...let's just say in need of some deep cleaning. Blackened center pin, worn out springs, dried up Noalox on the threads, one was all nasty inside. I actually cleaned the inside as far as I could reach with Q-tips and alcohol. Every repair order I have ever gotten had that disclaimer on it.I think that is the standard line. I have sent in a few

I bought 2 Beta P3s cause...well, I could. I also bought 2 Celtics from Provape. I didn't have them a month and just could not love them. I sold them and bought v2/2.5. I love the v2/2.5. I love beauty rings/extensions/bling bling. The P3s were very underwhelming for me. I don't own one now. Only would consider a Ti P3 and it would be a stay at home one if it even was in use.
Now the Radius...just doesn't crank my tracker. I couldn't care less about owning one. I don't like them for a lot of reasons I can't be bothered to name. Some love them - it fits the bill for them. Great! Keeps Provape in business! I'll support them in other ways.

The ones that have bricked have been linked to a bad batch of capacitors that a vendor shipped to Provape early on.
Tomorrow I'm going to load up for everything I need for the weekend, I just want a coupe days where I don't have to leave the house. It's like I can feel all the tension that is out there while driving around town lately...
Well I got a Innokin APEX today 
I got it on my Radius and am really liking it
The New APEX 5 is set to come out this month, It's suppose to be even Better
This could just be the Tank I been looking for
