Even if you had both the 40w boards, and 60w boards in front of you, no matter what an unbiased person would say, one of the cult leaders or followers would call bullshit on any analysis that was presented.

And yes, I did call it a cult. I don't know if it's over the top pride, or trying to justify the overpriced purchase, but their comments defy all logic and reason. And God forbid you don't worship their almighty device, or question anything, you are shunned as an outsider.

As for Zen, and the Bukakke tank, it's a fucking $100 copy of a $10 nautilus tank that sucks.

I'm with Synphul... and the rest of yas that think it's stupid to buy a plastic mod for $220. I just ordered this:

View attachment 56570

Metal. 75W. Does TC (which I never use, but what the hey). Costs less than $42... I could buy FIVE of these and still save money! and it's Innokin, who may be a Chinese company, but make EXCELLENT quality mods, which can be dropped, stomped, driven over, etc, and STILL WORK. Because it's METAL. And not cheap flimsy crap either, like the kbox I dropped very softly inside my purse and it no longer worked.

This is actually true....last winter, my buddy at work dropped his original 40 watt Coolfire IV in a snowbank without realizing it and ended up running it through his snowblower. It was pretty well beat up but the damn thing still worked...true story...

I wouldn't even buy 1 for $200.00, much less 2. I had to trade something I barely used to get one.
I perceive the Radius as a 40W Mod that was designed by and for 12.5W Vapers, as per the battery change feature.
Mount your little Kabuki; tootlepuff all day at 10-15W; plug it in at night; repeat.
But you can tell everybody it's 40W.
Hey...I tootiepuff my Kabuki at 13 watts...get it right....lol...

Yep... I keep my mod parked between my legs when I'm driving, and once, I pulled up here at home and had to pee DESPERATELY, so when I got out, really fast, I forgot all about the CF4; exiting a truck that uses 20" tires, it's quite a distance to the ground, and I was moving FAST; that CF4 SPUN out of my lap and hit the concrete HARD, a distance of maybe 5 ft, between the drop and the momentum it achieved, sailing out of my lap. Still works just great, as does my titanium Achilles. The delrin knucklehead driptip came apart, but I snapped it back together and went right on vaping.

Back in the vv3 thread at butthole central, there were many stories of people dropping their vv3's LONG distances onto concrete, and they still worked. Innokin's had a couple of misses (the original SVD's fire btn comes to mind), but mostly their stuff is just fucking GREAT, amazing quality given the economical price.

That's not right either.. it's tootLe puff, not "tootie". Tootie is a character on an old sitcom. :D

I wasnt paying 100 bucks for a Kabuki as the price seemed way hi, but as a MTL vaper who used a Nautilus frequently, I did purchase the 18 dollar clone. I have to admit it does work far better than the Nautilus...same coil so I'm not sure how that works, but it just does. I prefer the Triton mini clapton coil in it....still not paying for the authentic...as well as it does work, I dont see $100 worth of value there...

No snobbery intended. I tootlepuff frequently myself. I still have 1/2 dozen Provaris in daily rotation.
Simply making reference to a vaping style for which the Radius was well designed for while reaching out to a larger market share who vape differently.
Any product designed for a larger mass appeal will have to make more compromises than one designed towards a narrower niche.
I could care less what wattage someone vapes at if it keeps them off tobacco.

That CF4-18650 is a 75W TC mod... I vape at 10w, and never use TC -- but the possibility is there, so if someday I decided to sell it, it would appeal to a much bigger audience than a 40w non-TC mod.

It's really with atties that you "can't have it all" -- atties designed for MtL usually are much too tight-draw for those who vape DtL, and the reverse is true of wide-open and/or dual-coil atties, they're never going to suit a tight-draw tootlepuffer, no matter how far you can close the AFC -- it still probably won't be tight enough. That's what bugs the hell out of me about the Achilles 2. The Achilles original is a PERFECT IN EVERY WAY atty for tight-draw tootle puffers who prefer to build their own and don't care for tanks; the Achilles 2 apparently still isn't open enough for real cloud chasers, and is also too open for tight-draw tootle puffers -- by attempting to make it suit MORE vapers, now it won't suit many at all. Which still wouldn't be that awful, IF the originals were still made or available anywhere in any form -- but they're not. :headbang:

That's what a lot of people are saying about the KF5. Too tight for DL and too loose for MTL. No mans land isn't a good place to be.

As well you know.
If it's not between 8.5w-200w it ain't real.
bahahaha

its another peace in the eye of beholder.
having it wide open for me is perfect.
single dual Clapton build and it is the perfect draw for me.
in fact the kf5 and mini v3 are the only tanks I vape with now

I have a KF5 built & ready to put on a 40W Radius arriving tomorrow.
I think it will be an excellent out of the house combo and falls almost in the middle of the wide range I vape at.
However, it does not motivate me to get rid of any of the arsenal I have built up.
Variety is the Spice of Life for me.

Received the PlastiMod in Cabernet today. I traded a P3 for it.
Provari build quality and Provari vape quality. Exactly what I expected.
Nice unit actually and 40W covers about 2/3 of the ranges I vape in.
26SSx36K1 Clapton at 20W is plenty sufficient, smooth and a great vape experience.
It will likely be parked on my nightstand, but will be my out of the house mod as well due to the quality and dependability.

Exactly how I think. Guess the plastic housing doesn't bother me.
But I also have polymer firearms.
I also have experience working with the design and testing of industrial circuIt breakers -- all plastics are not created equal. Some plastics cost more and can take more abuse than some metals. A cast aluminum "Hammond box" (think Hexohm mod) are in the $5 range. A similar size box molded with the same plastics used with some higher powered circuit breaker would cost about $40 to produce. likewise when testing (closing a breaker the size of a 1lb box of butter across a 100KA@480VAC circuit making a dead short), in the aftermath there are steel and copper pieces melted, shattered and deformed, while the plastic case is a bit dirty at best.

Believe me, I can find lots of things to fault ProVape as well as the Radius mod, but the case material for this is not one of them.
