I just received mine today and had this problem. Using a knife I pulled out the pin at the bottom of the cart just a millimeter or so and it seemed to work fine. Still looking for a better solution
I don't have one (yet), but it's close to wishlist status. I watched a video as I was researching it, IIRC isn't there an adjustment for the center pin? I know some people in the Provari subforum have Hippos and like them. If I can find the video, I'll post it for you.
ETA: I think this thread has the video, http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/provari/466657-hippo-v2-arrived.html

I have had similar problems with my hippo + provari. I remove the carto/tank and reattach it, then it will fire. It may take a couple times. Also, I've found that if my volts are set too high for the resistance of the tank, I have to adjust it, or it won't fire. (I.e. trying to fire a 2.4 ohm @ 3.2 v)

Uh 2.4 ohms can take more than 3.2 volts. Even my 2.8 heads on my vivi will fire at 3.2 volts. A rwally sucky vape but it works.

When I first got my hippo I thought it was the hippo, and I guess it is, sort of, all about reaching the bottom. Would of been nice if they made that adjustable, and to be honest Im not sure its not. I have never heard of it damaging the center pin of a provari though.
Check this video. It's in german but if you go to the 9min. mark he shows how to do the adjustment of the center pin.

Hi Guys,
First post here! I also got a Hippo v2 and mounted it on my Provari. Boy was I disappointed at first! I use just regular boge 510 cartos and a Phiniac tank. Was running into the same problem where the thing wouldn't fire at all.
I didn't know what everyone was talking about with trying to screw the pin to adjust it. I don't think it's meant to be screwed, as mine is just a simple push or pull adjustment. What I think might need to be done here is pulling the connector a little further out of your carto. If you've watched some of Busardo's videos, he's done that to get a better connection on deep sockets. So I took my mini screwdriver and wiggled the connection a little further out so it's not sitting flush on the carto any longer. It sticks out just ever so slightly.
BUT slapped the thing on and fired it up and works well. Problem solved. Now some might say "well, we shouldn't have to do that", but for me it's a small fix that took 10 seconds, and works relatively well.
Thx!

I'm well aware that 2.4 ohms CAN take more than 3.2 volts. I've just found that sometimes, when my provari won't fire on my higher-ohm builds, it will if I increase the volts. All of that is history now, cuz I can't get my provari to fire AT ALL with the hippo on now. I have the Hippo v1....has anyone found a resolution? Can someone suggest one?
